Simply Special Event Coordination

Where to even start-I started the wedding planning process without a coordinator, but quickly realized how helpful it would be to have someone who actually knows what they are doing behind the scenes. After much research (I mean A LOT), I came across Simply Special Events, and met with Julie shortly after. She instantly won me over; she was not only fun to be with, she was organized, gave her input when I needed it, and was overall so obviously passionate about what she does. She helped me along during the last few months leading up to our wedding with countless little tasks and meetings, and truly became such a support system for me!The wedding day went off without a hitch! It was pretty incredible, considering there were so many moving parts at my venue, along with all the details. She took care of making the place look GORGEOUS, as well as coordinating our wedding ceremony (I swear there most have been two of her)! During the reception, she went above and beyond to make sure everything was running smoothly with all of the vendors, and took care of any little glitches along the way without us knowing it! Do yourself a favor and hire Julie! She is hands-down the most wonderful coordinator out there and is very competitively priced. I miss her already!!

Simply put, Julie kicks ass! Honestly we weren't even sure we needed a "day of" wedding coordinator, but now I don't know what we would have done without her. Leading up to the wedding she was on top of all of the details, and helped us coordinate with the venue on even the smallest things, but she really shined on the day of the wedding.On the day of, she was there anytime we needed anything, and she kept everyone else on top of their game, keeping very cool under a high pressure situation. On top of being a great multitasker, she is easy and nice to talk to, never lost her cool, and always was two steps ahead of me.Thanks so much Julie!

We had our wedding over this last weekend and it was more than I ever expected, I am sure that is without a doubt due to Julie. She was AMAZING! I was referred to her by a friend and very late in the wedding planning process so we really only used her the day of and the month leading up to the wedding. I was foolish to think I could handle it all myself! My make-up artist cancelled the week before and Julie was able to get me some qualified replacements in no time!I left my garter at home on accident, so Julie to the rescue, she made me one from some left over fabric in her car!Julie handled everything. She was constantly moving throughout the wedding making sure the vendors were on tasks, that we ate, that we weren't rushed or didn't run out of time.... she really was the glue that held our wedding together. There wasn't one thing that I regret and that is because Julie had this calming effect on us and just made the day fun. I highly recommend Julie to anyone!! You will not have to stress on your wedding- just enjoy it knowing Julie is on the job.

For all the grooms out there thinking they don't need a wedding coordinator, your life will suck the few days before your wedding and the day of, if you don't hire Julie. I felt like she wanted to be there at all times and loved doing it. You do not know the amount of detail going into it until you do it, or need someone to do it for you. Julie met with us several times before the day and was constantly an email or phone call away, at all times. I feel like she did way more than she was supposed to.

Hiring Julie for our day of wedding coordinator was one of the best decisions we made. Having her at the ceremony and reception venue to oversee all the details, ensuring all the vendors arrived and had what we ordered and setting up all our special items took the stress out of the day so we thoroughly enjoyed my daughters wedding. Julie was there to keep things on track and was invisible, yet always there! Also making sure I got a drink and appetizers so I could sit and relax with guests to checking on the bride/groom to make sure they did not need a thing. Julie comes highly recommended from this happy Bride's Mother!!

I'm Julie O's (earlier reviewer) mom, and I would also like to compliment Julie. Her pleasant professionalism and attention to every detail was amazing. It was indeed the best decision to hire her for our daughter's wedding. She is just a dream to work with, efficient and personable. And yes, her little emergency bag of tricks saved us from the "dreaded glitch" of the day. Hire her for your special event and you will not be sorry!

Can't even BEGIN to say enough wonderful things about Julie! We hired her as our day of wedding planner and she did SO much to prepare for our day. We met up several times (at her request) so she could make sure she had all of our contracts, contacts and timeline figured out. She was so sweet and suggested a few things that would make things easier for us. On the day of I had a slight (re: panicked) moment when my dress wouldn't bustle and she came out of nowhere with a huge bag of odds and ends to get the dress pinned up (VERY J-lo in The Wedding Planner). I received so many compliments about how professional she was with all the vendors and the guests and she made the day go so smoothly. Can't wait to recommend her to every bride-to-be I meet from now on!
