Always a Pleasure Working Together
At The DJ Firm, we truly value working alongside wedding planners who are professional, organized, and dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences for their couples. We've had the pleasure of collaborating with Melody on multiple occasions, and every time has been seamless. Her attention to detail, calm demeanor, and commitment to her clients’ vision make all the difference. It's always a smooth and enjoyable process working with Simply Elegant—looking forward to many more amazing weddings!
Vendor Love!
Melody was so communicative and easy to work with during the internal planning process and on site. Great planner to collaborate with to bring a clients' wedding vision come true! Hope to work together again at The Armour House and other beautiful venues.
I've seen it all
Mimi (aka Moinyett) is a pro! I've been photographing weddings for over a decade now so I know how important having a good planner is. Leading up to the wedding, she was super helpful in getting all the details together and making sure me and the couple both had what we needed to meet each other's expectations. And on the day of, she kept everything on track without being overly demanding. Never a rude word or detectable stress coming from her or her team! I hope we get to work together again soon!
The Best Planners Ever!
From the moment we started planning our wedding with The Simply Elegant Group, we were impressed by their thorough, clear, and concise communication style. Moinyett, our dedicated planner, was incredibly thoughtful and attentive, ensuring that every detail was perfectly executed. Her caring and elegant approach made the entire process stress-free and easy. On the day of our wedding, Moinyett went above and beyond, seamlessly handling all the logistics so that we could simply enjoy the celebration. She even appeared out of nowhere to tactfully help bustle my dress and guide our families to where they needed to be. The Simply Elegant Group's attention to detail and dedication to making our day perfect was truly unmatched. We are so grateful to have had them by our side throughout this special journey.
