Truly professional and creative work!

Unfortunately, my son's party had to get postponed because we all got Covid. Gagan was so understanding and empathetic and made it easy to reschedule to another date. She even tried to reserve dates for us, which was very considerate of her. On the day of the party, Gagan arrived early and was extremely efficient. They were in and out of there quick! The end result was stunning, grand, and elegant. Clean up was so quick and easy. We are so happy we chose LP Party!

Judy and Carol helped to plan my first daughter's wedding on 8/20/2011. I interviewed several…read morewedding planners and went with them because I liked that there were two of them. My daughter and now son-in-law also interviewed them and we all agreed that they were the best. I'll be honest, at first I was a little worried. Not because of anything they were or weren't doing, but because I'm a control freak Plus type A personality and wanted my daughter's wedding day to be perfect. So, I ended up stepping on toes and trying to do things on my own when I should have listened to the wedding planners and sat back and relaxed. Judy and Carol convinced me however that they had EVERYTHING under control and I did become convinced that they did. Nearing the last month and the two weeks before the wedding is when so many of the final details are wrapped up and they are on top of it. So, if you hire them, don't worry, they have it under control. The day of the wedding when we arrived, Carol and Judy were just finishing up the set-up and it was GORGEOUS!!! Also, we had a bit of a fiasco with a hotel that we had lined up and the shuttle service. Judy made many calls on our behalf and we ended up going to a different hotel and hiring a Royal Coach Bus for 57 passengers to take our guests from the Sheraton in Pleasanton to the Crooked Vine Winery in Livermore. This worked out perfectly and made the evening so enjoyable for everyone because they didn't have to worry about driving. I will say that when my next daughter gets married, I will definitely be hiring Carol and Judy again! Going into a wedding, you think you only have to hire people but there are so many details, many that you don't even think about. I loved all their vendors and will be writing separate reviews on that. Their floral person did an awesome job!!!! On the wedding day they stayed until the very end and had all the gifts and everything loaded into our vehicle already. This was so nice because my husband and I could spend time with our guests instead of running around making sure everything was going right. I highly recommend Carol and Judy for your wedding planners! Worth every penny!

With every wedding there will always be some type of issue that arrives and with the bumps we faced, it was as if SLE worked magic and made everything better. Leading up to the wedding, Lindsay was so thorough and detailed and made sure to cover everything I did not know even needed to be covered - from placing our custome table numbers (also giving advice on what to use in case of strong winds), lighting our candles, tying the rose petal cones to the chairs, and tons of reception layout drafts. She asked many questions to make sure she understood what we were envisioning and had the most detailed notes I had ever seen! At the same time, she continued answering my 1000000 questions with lots of reassurance that everything will be more than OKAY. Even when we got scammed by a vendor, she was so empathetic and assisted us in what actions to take and other vendors we can look into! You can tell Lindsay is so passionate about her job and it shows with how loving and understanding she is towards the bride and groom, everyone that was a part of the wedding as well as our guests! Even my guests called out how organized and perfect everything looked - it was as if nothing at all went wrong. Lastly, I was also one of the brides who wasn't as organized towards the end of the process and started to be indecisive.. Lindsay was a hero and all my last minute wants/changes and requests were all answered and executed with excellence. So if you are looking for a dream team to coordinate your wedding and give you so much love, support , guidance and patience.. Work with Simply lovely events. You will not regret it at all!

We only had a few meetings with Lindsay over the last year leading up to the big day, but everything executed flawlessly. Lindsay was so patient, kind, and understanding throughout the entire process. Indian weddings can be very involved, and although we pared it down a lot, there were still many steps and details that needed to be discussed. She had great suggestions anytime we needed advice and was very responsive to any last minute changes. She was such a bright and lovely person to work with. She is truly perfect for this profession, and I would recommend anyone to work with her. Thank you to Lindsay and the Simply Lovely Events team!

Later we discovered she also made strawberry, and we knew right away that chocolate marble and strawberry (with fresh strawberries!) would be the perfect combo for our big day. The cake itself was flawless--a beautifully made 3-tier design with a light, delicious texture. The smooth buttercream frosting had just the right amount of sweetness, perfectly balancing the rich chocolate swirls and fresh, fruity strawberry layers. So many of our guests raved about it, and our bridesmaid (the true dessert connoisseur of the group) polished off all the leftover slices by the next day!
