There is so many things that we have to say about this company, especially Ms. Amber. They ensured…read morefrom the VERY beginning that we saw forth with our vision for our intimate wedding and everything we wanted for our nuptials. Ms. Amber took so much stress off of our hands when it came to planning, it was no joke! The packages offered by this company caters to EVERY detail of getting married and the wedding aspect. Ms. Amber made sure that although we were doing a destination wedding, we were in great hands on every aspect! Ms. Amber is literally super woman and the best planner of all time! She was real with us when she needed to be (especially about our budget, our interesting families, and being on time), had our back when only TWO people, besides our parents, showed up to rehearsal, and was there for every phone call, moment of freaking out, both of our questions.concerns, Type-A personalities, text messages, and wedding planning meeting. She was so detail oriented to the point of mapping out every detail of what we wanted and seeing those ideals come forth to fruition was breath taking! She even ended up being our officiant, and we could not ask for any other person so lead us into marriage..Even down to my makeup and hair artist...she picked the perfect artist just for me and she made me look like a sea goddess!! We were able to have our dream beach ceremony, our dream reception venue, and everything else in between because of this company and we are so thankful! Because of working with Amber, we were at peace most of planning and had nothing to worry about! Even down to the day when we were doing the final clarification of ceremony music, I literally SANG music and Amber was right there talking me through the names because I was stressing and could not remember the artists. We will definitely be seeing Simple Beach Weddings for renewing our vows in a few years as well. If you are looking for a company that cares about you, knows the area, caters to you and your partner exclusively, and just overall is just an awesome company that takes care of everything you need for your marriage and wedding. Simple Weddings is the company to go with!!!! Thank you so much to Ms. Amber, Mr. Anthony, and the whole Simple Weddings team for making our dream come true! We are still on cloud 9 about how marvelous this whole experience was! If you are planning a beach wedding, destination wedding, basically ANY form of wedding, DO NOT go to any other company besides Simple Weddings, and be sure to have Ms. Amber take care of you! They are darn good at their job!!!!! We LOVE SIMPLE WEDDINGS!! Musically Yours, Fabian & Ashley Moore from Atlanta, GA

After experiencing communication difficulties with the Royal Caribbean celebrations team person, Michelle was a breath of fresh air. absolute access and responsiveness in those important and stressful days before the wedding. At the port, they guided us through the onboarding and took care of our non sailing guests. They immediately setup operations with the on board Royal Caribbean's coordinator to make sure the details were carried out. it was then that they discovered my Royal celebration person dropped the ball on our order for flowers...ie. no flowers arrived. They were so upset it was like they were our family and took it to heart, going into overdrive to fix the problem. it was not fixable but with the cruise director's wife ( who left the ship to get us flowers) they eventually did give the bride some flowers to remember her wedding. Maria was also the officiant and did a lovely job of the wedding ceremony, her personality shined through and it was a warm and beautiful service. Penny was the "gal Friday" helping out her partners, I'm sure she never expected to be a florist but she did great. Thank you all so much!

We had a great handle on all the details of our wedding as we hired our own vendors a year in advance, but in the end, we really needed a planner who could help us pull everything together in the final days when we needed to focus on other things. Debbie and Laurie, owners of Core Concepts, did an amazing job. We hired them to help us coordinate all the details in the final 30 days leading up to our special day. You can trust that they will be in regular communication during the time that you contract to work with them - they will deliver! All of the details came together perfectly - from the beautiful flowers in our requested colors (white, purple and blue) and table seatings, coordinating with our other vendors and keeping everything on time during the day, to the signage and programs and pipe and drape and uplighting and Gobo OH MY. The setting was just perfect - Core Concepts truly helped transformed the space (which was drab) to make it feel elegant and created an atmosphere that made the entire evening feel special to us and our guests. They were hustling until the very end to ensure all the details were taken care of. They also went the extra mile and delivered our flowers after the wedding festivities to the venue where we were hosting a brunch the next morning -- and that was after a really long day of set up and breakdown. That extra touch was a huge help, and we were very appreciative. So many of our guests told us, with sincerity, that it was the best (and most magical) wedding they have ever attended (!!!), and that was thanks in no small part to the Core Concepts team. We are thrilled. They worked hard to help bring our vision to life and for helping us kick off our next adventure as a married couple. :)

We shouldn't have hesitated for a minute! The help we got from Rachel and Core Events was THE best money we spent for anything in the wedding planning. We met with Rachel a couple times and reviewed our plans for the day. She was AMAZING - helping smooth out final details at the rehearsal, checking our sound system/music selections, and providing suggestions for different ways to handle the various traditional elements. The day of, while my mother and I had our hair and makeup done, she checked in at the reception venue and ensured the cake and flowers were delivered and set up properly and the banquet room was set up according to our specs. She also placed our favors, guest book, and other little personal touches we wanted at the reception. That sorted, she booked it over to our ceremony location and helped distribute programs, herded family members and the wedding party here and there so the photographer could get as many pre-wedding family pics as possible. While we stayed behind for photos, she headed to the reception and helped get our guests started on nibbles and cocktails, even cueing our playlist for each part of the reception. Once we arrived, she announced our arrival and got our first dance music going. All this on a day she wasn't feeling too great! We are SO grateful to have had the help of someone so professional, organized, and reliable. Her help let us just relaxed, visit with family, and enjoy the day rather than running around and checking on vendors, set up and details. I cannot recommend Core Events highly enough to anyone planning a wedding or large scale event where you'd actually like to be able to enjoy the event and your guests.

During the photography session, I would look over my shoulder to see her kneeling on the sand to get the best shot. She encouraged our natural quirkiness for the photos and laughed with us as we made our vows to each other with joy and humor. Thank you, Angela for making this memorable day so easy and wonderful.

I don't believe our vows could possibly have been better and looking back I can't imagine having done it any other way. Parts of our ceremony were spoken in both Spanish and English. Everything went amazingly, we cried and laughed, our guests cried and laughed, and Yami helped to make our wedding the best day of our lives (so far).
