Kaylie and her team were so kind and did an incredible job with our sons 1st birthday party!…read moreCommunication with Kaylie could have been a bit smoother prior to the event, but overall I am extremely satisfied by the level of professionalism day-of and the attention to detail she put into personalizing the ball pit and soft cubes (this was a small detail I wasn't aware of beforehand and so happy she did! The customized cubes were so cute!!!). Kaylie was more than happy to coordinate with me on matching my DIY circuit creations with her custom soft play offering. We also rented about 20 chairs and a few tables. They have a lot of linen colors to choose from for your tables and was happy with the color choices! Kaylie's prices are extremely reasonable, her team is professional, and you can tell she has a lot of passion for event planning. I would 100% recommend hiring her for your party and will 100% hire her again myself in the future!!

After contacting 6 vendors, The Tent Merchant clearly became our top choice. No other vendor was…read moreeven a close second, for the following reasons. (All other vendors were deficient in one or more of these areas. Every other vendor was deficient in the first. Scary!). 1-COMPETENCE- The Tent Merchant asked all the right, necessary questions to safely, legally, securely erect a tent and visited the venue early on to ensure they were prepared. Beyond safety, they had the best variety of tent sizes,features and embellishments. They also had varied tablecloths available from basic polyester (the only thing available from all other vendors) to cotton, linen, and luxurious textured fabrics. They offered more sizes of linens and tables than others as well. 2-TRANSPARENCY/INTEGRITY: Immediate, clear, unchanging prices and no "surprise" small print. By FAR the best contract terms. No required NON-(or partially)REFUNDABLE deposit on a tent until 10 days prior to event (when weather is more clear), yet guaranteed tent availability! (Others required tent deposit up front: a guaranteed loss if you don't need it). The weather forecast led us to forego the tent, but even after the 10 day deadline, TM assured "we'll do everything we can to take care of you". We had nearly daily communication that final week, with immediate responses, updates and support. 3-Word-of-mouth RECOMMENDATION by a local event planner, who also sent me a link to the 2025 Santa Barbara Independent Wedding issue, in which The Tent Merchant was a recommended vendor. Yelp and Google were sources for others. Concluding, every detail was efficiently and thoughtfully fulfilled as promised, and on time. I am grateful for the professionalism, competence and integrity of this company. I can't recommend them more highly. They will capably support and fulfill your vision with excellence, they will be available, encouraging and honest, and they will have your back from start to finish.

It's easy for a vendor to look good on paper, but Tent Merchant delivers actual ease. For our Asian…read morepre-wedding events, we needed infrastructure we could trust blindly, and they absolutely smashed expectations. The tenting was put up efficiently and provided the perfect, comfortable sanctuary for our guests, while the tables and chairs were properly brought in and picked up. You can tell this team takes immense pride in the upkeep of their inventory--everything looked clean and was accurate. They were communicative, flexible with our shifting needs, and completely dependable. They are officially our go-to for any event infrastructure!

Simple, natural, fun, and stress free. Savannah gave me GREAT recommendations and a timeline along the way. She was also my florist and got all my invitations sent out for me! They made sure the day of the wedding was easy and neither my family nor I had to worry about setting up or cleaning up. Just the time, energy, and stress that I saved by booking with Simply S Events was worth the cost. It meant I was able to enjoy my family and guests the days leading up to the wedding instead or finalizing last minute things which Savannah was able to do for me. Not to mention Savannah and Dan are just the sweetest people and I walked away feeling like the genuinely cared about my husband and I. They are just so awesome and are totally called to this profession. If you book Simply S Events I promise you won't regret it! Thank you guys so much!

Thanks for them we were fully in the moment and joyful as everything went even better than dreamed of. I hired Simply S as a Day of Coordinator but she went on to do the flowers, create decor and thrill my mom (and I) with how easily the day ran. Before the wedding Savannah met with me several times to tour the venue, meet with our caterer, talk specifics and create a day of schedule. At each meeting I shed my stress and worry and left feeling excited and relieved. Savannah is extremely creative and Dan is super hands on. This lovely combo led us to have: a donut peg board, table numbers that were actually songs handwritten on dark stained pieces of wood (allllll done by Savannah), an original light sculpture featuring floating flowers in a dry fountain in our venue. My mom cannot stop talking about how amazing Savannah was/is and I cannot agree more. She ran our wedding with assurance and ease. She let everyone know that she was working so no else needed to. Having her was THE BEST DECISION. Please treat your future self and book her now. There are so many things that happen on your wedding day, you want to enjoy the fun ones and not even know about the other details (setting up plates for unexpected guests, passing out tips, picking up cakes, dealing with gifts). Savannah gave us our dream wedding day and then some.

Tiffany was still available and helped us so much with booking vendors before the six months though so it did not feel like we just started being their clients at the 6 month mark. During our monthly phone calls, Tiffany was super detail oriented and made sure everything was being done on time. She provided really valuable insight and vision, helping with design, wedding flow, vendor requests, and infinite other items. Although we had our monthly calls, she was always available to us via text, email, and other calls if needed. She communicated with vendors on our behalf as well and made the whole process so much easier for us. On the wedding day, Tiffany and her team SHOWED UP. I cannot stress enough how much Tiffany and her team seamlessly and professionally ran the day. I did not notice anything go wrong, my husband did not notice anything go wrong, our families did not notice anything go wrong. Her team kept everything running so smoothly and went above and beyond making sure me and husband, as well as our families, felt like royalty the whole day. The fact we could turn our brains off and just enjoy the magic of our wedding was so incredible. I was able to relax and I knew that Tiffany had it covered. She was in our corner and we could really feel that the whole time. I could not recommend Tiffany and her team highly enough. Fair and transparent pricing, attention to detail, communicative and highly responsive, goes above and beyond for her clients. Tiffany and her team exceeded our expectations and made our wedding day truly the best day our of lives.

As the wedding day approached, Shawna scheduled calls to touch base, not just about the wedding details but also to check in on me personally - a gesture that meant so much to me! Thank you so much Shawna Having Shawna as our wedding planner and coordinator was one of the best decisions we made.

From the…read moremoment we booked, Shawna was incredibly available, responsive, and full of amazing vendor recommendations. The minute we met her, we knew she could handle anything that came her way--her experience shines through in every detail! At our very first planning session, Shawna brought up things we never would've thought of on our own and gave us thoughtful, unique ideas that added such a special touch to the day. As the date got closer, she took over communication with all of our vendors, made sure everyone had a clear, flawless timeline, and even ran a ceremony rehearsal for our entire bridal party to help things go smoothly. Of course, wedding days come with surprises--like forgotten flower girl petals, vendor delays, and parking issues--but Shawna handled EVERYTHING with total grace and control. She was calm, focused, and had it all locked in without ever making us feel the stress. Her associate Kim was equally amazing. She kept me grounded and calm throughout the day, always made sure we had a fresh drink in hand (literally as we stepped foot off the aisle), and even had our plates ready while guests were still being served. It's the kind of thoughtful care that makes all the difference. You can truly tell Shawna and Kim love what they do--their energy, professionalism, and attention to detail made our day unforgettable. We are so thankful for everything they did to make it perfect. Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts!
