If you are on the fence about whether a planner/coordinator is necessary – LOOK NO FURTHER!!!!!!! My husband and I got married July 23rd, 2022 and we had the pleasure of having Danielle by our side for the last 9 months to help make our dream wedding a reality. We are based in New York City and having to plan a wedding in another state on top of it being in my husband’s home turned out to be a bigger challenge than we ever anticipated. From the moment we met Danielle at the end of October, we felt so much more at ease with our decision to take on this challenging planning process because of her calm, reassuring, and realistic optimism that she brought to our meeting. We knew that we could turn to her for anything and she would provide an affordable/easy solution that immediately calmed our panic. Fast forward to the actual wedding – We don’t know what we would have done without her there. She made the day go by seamlessly, helped us with every small detail (she steamed my dress and cleaned my ring!!!!), and communicated with all of our vendors, allowing for my husband and I to focus on the happiness and love that surrounded our day. We are forever grateful to Simply Elegant Group for pairing us with Danielle and we know that whoever gets to work with her in the future will feel as lucky as we do!!!!

We couldn't be happier with our decision to work with The Simply Elegant Group for our wedding. I knew I didn't need a planner to take over the entire wedding planning process, as I had already booked all my vendors. But I needed somebody to step in to support with coordination the few months before the wedding and the wedding day. That's where Abbe came in. :) From vendor communication and building out a day-of timeline to making sure our rehearsal was completed and fixing my bustle, she was there for us whatever we needed. I was able to enjoy a stress-free, perfect wedding day because of her, and I didn't need to put any of those tasks on my family or bridal party so that they could enjoy the day, too. If you're considering hiring SEG, I would definitely recommend it.

My partner and I hired Lindsay Mackey and The Simply Elegant Group as our day-off wedding planners for our May 2022 wedding in Chicago. We were recommended them and couldn't have been more thrilled with their services, Lindsay was excellent!
Leading up to the big day, we had several check-in meetings and calls with Lindsay. We found her to be very connected, supportive, knowledgeable, and perhaps most important, calm! Lindsay always made us feel like it was all going to be fine and she had everything under control. She also had great ideas and was super helpful in thinking through our big day.
Lindsay has worked with so many vendors in Chicago and seems to know everyone, which helped tremendously. On the big day, we really didn't have to worry about a thing. Lindsay made sure the venue was set up perfectly and that the day went off without a hitch. She was so good at every turn. When things got a bit off schedule she lit a fire under people and also helped adjust things a bit behind the scenes (we found this out later).  Terrific person and terrific company, we can't recommend them more enthusiastically!

I've had the pleasure of working with the Simply Elegant team twice now in the past few weeks, alongside Hailey and Abbe. As a wedding videographer, working with top-notch planners to make sure your day runs smoothly is paramount to having a successful, stress-free, and incredible wedding day. Both times I worked with Simply Elegant, everything went perfectly, on time, and because of the incredible planning skills, allowed the couple to be fully present in their wedding day and be immersed in the love from their friends, family and each other! Simply Elegant is an incredible team of planners and I highly recommend them!

We worked with Lindsay Mackey and I cannot thank her or recommend her enough! We did day-of-coordination services and if you are ever second guessing whether or not you should invest in this service, let this be your sign that you should!! Wedding planning is stressful, but those last couple of months, weeks, and days before are CRAZY! Working with Lindsay ensured that we were able to enjoy and savor the moments leading up to our wedding and that the day of our wedding was stress free for us, our friends, and our family, and we were able to enjoy ourselves instead of worrying about logistics.
Lindsay was super fun to work with and SUCH big help during the entire process.
