The Simply Elegant Group - Minneapolis Wedding Planners

We are currently working with the Simply Elegant Group. My Wedding Planner has helped me with everything from establishing a wedding budget to contacting vendors/ tours etc. Where they have shinned the most for me personally is helping design & send all my invites such as Save The Dates" and even managing my wedding invites (including the dreaded RSVPs). Kerry has literally been my right hand gal keeping me on track and helping me every step of the way. She has helped me keep calm as well as make my wedding planning stress free thus far! But where I really feel they will shine is my actual wedding...allowing me time to be focused in the moment. We have the wedding agenda established and Kerry will be by my side every step of the way! Looking forward to it and can't say enough great things about this company thus far!"

Kerry from the Simply Elegant Group was absolutely incredible. Not only did she go above and beyond during our planning process, but also I could not have imagined our wedding day with out her. Some might say (my husband/mother) that I can be a little Type A and difficult to work with but that didn’t scare Kerry. She was patient, understanding, calming and professional. She helped plan the wedding of my dreams with my budget. I am most grateful for all of Kerry’s hard work the week leading up to our wedding and of course the day of. She stepped in, took away the stress and allowed me to just enjoy every moment. While looking for a wedding planner, I wanted someone who could execute our vision so my husband and I could soak in the day. Our wedding day was perfect and I owe a huge thank you to Kerry for being a part of it.

We had Lindsay as our wedding planner and she was amazing on our wedding day! We both thoroughly enjoyed the entire day and did not think twice about a single detail during the reception. From the beginning of the day, she was able to delicately solve an issue with the makeup artist and help me feel beautiful! However, I think the part that I enjoyed most was that I felt like I was sharing my day with a friend, not a planner. I never had to ask for anything to be done, because she was either already on it or asking me if I need anything else to have a good time. Overall, I loved our experience and am so happy to have met Lindsay and Elisa from Simply Elegant!

We are currently working with the Simply Elegant Group, specifically Kerry, and they have been terrific to work with. Kerry has been there for all of our needs, including the every now and then emotional support which is much needed during wedding planning. Kerry has picked up on our vision even when we can't articulate it. She finds vendors that match our personality and are making our big day come together. As the bride, it was also important for me to have my groom feel included during the process. Kerry not only looks out for my interests, but also makes sure his are heard as well. We couldn't do this without Kerry and The Simply Elegant Group!

We hired Lindsay the week of and WOW are we glad we did. I'm not sure what I was thinking not having a day of coordinator. I thought I could do it all then as I met with the manager of my venue and had final meetings with vendors I quickly realized I did not want to be the go to person. I also did not want any of my family members to be that person because I wanted them to enjoy the day as well. From the second Lindsay came into the picture I felt relaxed and way more comfortable with how the flow of the day would go. She is professional, honest, funny, high energy and everything else you'd want in the person there to make your day perfect. She instantly had a vision for my day and made it better than I could have ever pictured. Do yourself a favor and hire Lindsay. This is the best decision we made for our wedding!

Planning a wedding isn't easy, but planning it during a COVID pandemic with rules that seem to change every day is REALLY not easy. We feel so grateful to have navigated the uncertain times with the planning support of Simply Elegant Group. From pulling (and re-pulling) quotes from multiple vendors to coordinating our rehearsal and wedding day, we're so happy with the experience we had with SEG and our planner Kristen. She was very decisive, clear, and strategic in all of our conversations, helping us stay focused on the task at hand so I never had to guess on what I needed work on that week or month. Our situation was unique in that we weren't able to plan most of our wedding until the last two months before our wedding date because of COVID, so seeing how fast the SEG team was able to move was super inspiring. They even helped us with little tweaks we made when we changed our vision to host a intimate wedding, like playing DJ" with our ceremony songs on a Spotify playlist and recording a Facebook Live video so our family and friends could feel like they were there with us on the day. Our planner Kristen even sent me a video of our first dance since our videographer already left and she knew we'd want to relive that moment later. Everyone at SEG is incredibly thoughtful and proactive. We can't say enough great things about SEG

I called Simply Elegant literally days before my wedding because my prior arrangement for a coordinator fell through and I needed help! I felt like it was a Hail Mary pass desperately trying to find someone who would help me on such short notice and someone who I trusted. But, lucky me, Simply Elegant Group saved the day! They took care of all the small and big details on the day of my wedding that I didn't want to fuss with so that I could relax and enjoy my day. They executed every detail perfectly and communicated with professionalism. I recommend to everyone getting married to have someone help with the details! It makes everything so much less stressful and more enjoyable on the wedding day to be worry-free!

When it came to the Wedding Day, The Simply Elegant Group went above and beyond to ensure we ran on time, everything went as planned, and that the happy couple could enjoy their day without the stress of coordinating all the moving parts from one event to the next.When it came to clean-up, they were on top of it! It was so nice to not have to clean-up the hall at the end of the LONG day.Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for someone to back the Bride at ALL costs!

When I found out that the hotel required us to have a day of coordinator I was a little annoyed. I didn't think that I needed anyone to help us plan a wedding let alone help us on the day of. Oh, how I was wrong. I was able to plan most of the wedding myself but when we were a month out and Ashley Carpenter stepped in, I could not have asked for everything else. She was truly a godsend. With work being crazy. Having another person there sending all the important emails, making sure I was in the loop, asking me every question to make sure it went accordingly was absolutely amazing. I think Ashley's present the day of is when I truly understood how lucky I was to have her there. Being able to actually enjoy my wedding day is something I will be eternally grateful for the rest of my life. I can look back now and see how horrible different my day would have been if she had not been there. You might not need a wedding planner but you MUST have a day of coordinator. I highly recommend Ashley Carpenter and the company she works with The Simply Elegant Group.

Morgan and the whole Simply Elegant crew made my whole wedding day and planning experience amazing. I can't deny that stress happened but they helped me enjoy the entire process. I only get to plan 1 wedding and with Morgan's help the entire thing was fun and exciting. They are affordable and so worth the money. This is it ladies, don't hate it, don't stress over it, enjoy it! Cause this. is. it. And Morgan helped me do just that. Anytime I thought something might possibly come up, like a fly swatter Morgan was there. And problems vanquished before her.Another amazing thing she did was help our first time wedding DJ. Wedding DJs have a lot more responsibility than any of us realized and he was SO nervous. But she called him and talked with him and worked with him all day to make it so much easier on him. And in turn perfect for us.Morgan worked so smoothly with ALL of our vendors that the whole day happened effortlessly (For me ;) )I can't thank her or Simply Elegant enough for everything they did to make my special day...well... special!
