She came to my house and picked everything up the weekend before. Called all my vendors a few days out to make sure everyone knew where they needed to be and at what time. We only met once right after I got engaged and I knew she was the gal for me. After a short conversation I felt very comfortable that she knew exactly what I was looking for. She gave me all kinds of great tips and recommendations. Because of the venue I got married at, there was no dressing area for me to hide in, so I didn't arrive at the wedding until it was time to walk down the aisle. I hadn't seen the venue decorated until then. I could not stop looking around. She made my wedding more beautiful than I imagined it would. If she was stressed out, it didn't show. Every time she talked to me she was as cool as a cucumber. I can't sing her praises enough!

Sydney helped me plan my destination wedding in Cabo, and I truly couldn't have asked for a better…read moreexperience. Booking with Sydney was hands down the best decision we made! Not only were we planning a destination wedding, but Sydney is based in Minnesota and I'm in North Carolina. Through weekly calls, we tackled everything together. She was kind, attentive, timely, and everything you could possibly want in a wedding planner. We quickly became so close, and she made the entire wedding planning process much more bearable. She was the perfect sounding board, honest, supportive, and always kept us on track. The day of our wedding, she was the perfect calming bestie. We absolutely loved having her by our side. I received numerous comments from guests about how "on top of it" she was and how incredibly nice she was. It was so reassuring to know everything was being handled seamlessly. Sydney also recommended the photography/videography team we ended up choosing, Lollipop Media, and they were truly one of the best vendors I've ever worked with. I would recommend them 100 times over and completely trust Sydney's judgment when it comes to vendor recommendations. You are in great hands with Sydney, and we truly couldn't recommend her more.

She did an incredible job managing all the moving parts--coordinating with vendors, cueing our ceremony, troubleshooting our slideshow during the reception, and even setting up and taking down our floral photo display. Everything ran smoothly thanks to her calm, capable presence. Throughout the planning process, Sydney was responsive, professional, and always eager to help. Her attention to detail and kind, thoughtful nature made such a difference--she even sent us Christmas cookies last year, which was such a sweet and personal touch! If you're looking for a planner who is not only on top of her game but also genuinely cares about her clients, I can't recommend Sydney enough. She helped make our wedding everything we hoped it would be.

We cannot recommend Ty's Wedding Rental enough. Our original venue fell through due to covid, and…read morewe had no idea what we were doing. Ty called us just minutes after receiving our inquiry and from the first moment, brought an excitement, clarity, and calmness to wedding planning that we could not have done without. Throughout the whole process, he was quick to answer questions, extremely informative, and always so kind. The tent set-up process was incredibly smooth and Ty and his team communicated with us throughout the whole process. And the finished product was BEAUTIFUL! We couldn't believe how magical everything looked. And our guests LOVED the restroom trailers - people are still telling us about how much they loved using them. We would 10/10 recommend Ty's Wedding Rental to anyone!!!

Josie was the greatest and my friends and family all commented on how amazing she was! She was there for us before the wedding, getting us organized AF with resources she provided for us.

She was there to make sure everything was set up correctly, and everyone was where they needed to be for the ceremony. During the reception she was invaluable and made sure everything ran smoothly, and then she was there to organize everything we needed to take home. I can't recommend her highly enough!

One word sums up all that Rachelle brings to the table for planning your wedding - AMAZING! I knew…read morefrom the first day when we had hundreds, actually thousands of tablecloths to choose from that I needed her professional services and guidance. We had decided to plan the "wedding of the year" and Rachelle sure came through for us. We had a solid timeline and budget and needed to balance that with our dreams and desires and she helped us design the perfect event!!! We became so comfortable and confident in her capabilities, that we often just said "you decide... we trust you"... and she took it from there. Our wedding turned out to be an event of all events and one that our guests will remember forever. Just as we had hoped. From every detail such as a roaming oyster shucker, to a 5 course dinner complete with wine pairings for each course, a 3 day wedding that spanned multiple venues and an after party complete with a contortionist on top of an enormous disco ball... every detail was captured. A few months after the wedding, I had someone comment at a restaurant how the flatware looked like the ones at our wedding... The flatware? Who remembers the flatware at a wedding...?? The guests that come to a wedding planned by Rachelle do! All the partners/vendors she pulled in were excellent and knew how to work with her. I even loved how she pushed back when we started to get crazy ideas. The perfect balance we needed to make a perfect event. She is simply the BEST....

Not being religious and with my parent's backyard venue in mind, my husband and I wanted to hire an…read moreofficiant for our September 2012 wedding. We googled and compared reviews of local officiants. We wanted to hire someone that was affordable and able to direct a rehearsal. We got paired with Cara Tollefson through Minnesota Officiants. We had a sit down to meet Cara at a location that was convenient for the three of us. When we met Cara she gave us a lot of information and answered all of our many questions. We instantly got a good vibe from her. Although the cost of services was a little more than we had budgeted we recognized it was due to the fact that we wanted rehearsal time to be added in there. Cara didn't once pressure us to pay any kind of deposit but instead simply explained that if we wanted to pursue her services that we just needed to mail in a signed contract and a deposit. After we sent the deposit within the week she sent us a ceremony planner. This walked us through all the elements of the wedding with many options of each. With this planner we were able to pick and choose our readings, ritual, opening/closing remarks, etc. There was plenty flexibility to get as traditional or unique as we wanted. We opted for a simple and short non-denominatial ceremony. Cara was very responsive and helpful via email and even offered to meet in person as needed. Cara was absolutely fabulous!! The day before at the rehearsal we walked through everything and that was VERY helpful. I appreciate that she was willing to rehearse with us. She did a fabulous job of directing everyone. The ceremony felt so personal and everything she said was heartfelt. I'm sure she does a ton of weddings and it meant so much that she was genuinely happy and excited for us. She had an amazing energy and many people commented on what an wonderful job she did. Our wedding day was so special, it meant so much to have Cara there! I'm so happy we trusted our guts with our first meeting. She was absolutely fabulous and facilitated a beautiful and meaningful ceremony.

Our first meeting with Jim was at The Wilde Roast in NE (his recommendation) and we knew within five minutes that we wanted him to officiate our wedding ceremony. He was well-organized, amicably professional, and listened to our thoughts/concerns while providing great feed back. Exactly what we needed. We were looking for someone who seemed capable of delivering a seamless presentation. After only meeting a few times before our wedding day and without any prior rehearsal, Jim exceeded our highest expectations. He eliminated any and all worry from the entire process - allowing us to relax and focus on each other. Through thoughtful prepping and communication, he helped us to create a beautiful ceremony that accurately represented us as a couple and we couldn't be more happy with the results. Thanks Jim!

The day felt like it went off without a hitch. I'm sure there were hiccups, but Kristin took care of them all before my husband and I ever heard anything about them. By the time we got to the wedding day, I was so comfortable with Kristin. We had emailed, talked a dozen times, and met in person as well. We lived out of state, and Kristin was very accommodating, often meeting when we were home around holidays. My husband and I are very organized, but it was wonderful to have someone with experience to bounce ideas off of and take a second look at plans. And all of this was before we even got to the wedding day! I loved having Kristin as a coordinator because she happily and promptly took care of anything we asked. On top of that, she ran interference and let us enjoy the day. Right before we sat down for dinner, Kristin let us know that she swapped two of the tables so a family member could plug in his oxygen tank. Kristin saw this need, took care of swapping the tables and informing the caterer, and then filled us in when we had a free moment. All of these little things throughout the day could have meant time my husband and I (or our close family members) would have had to take away from enjoying the event, but Kristin covered them all. At the end of the reception, I had asked my sisters to help my parents stay behind and clean up. Again though, Kristin had it covered, letting my exhausted parents go home to bed and my sisters out to party further with friends. The next morning, Kristin let us know that one of the groomsmen had forgotten to grab his suit when he left, and she offered to take it back to the rental store for us. Even though we did not hire them as a full wedding planner, Simply Elegant was there from the moment we hired them until the week after the wedding, always one step ahead of our needs.
