So we hired Signature Events to help us with our destination wedding planning. We also gave Dana our budget and four months to make it happen. She helped us through each step and recommended fantastic vendors and resources for us. It was stressful planning the wedding but we actually enjoyed the process with the fun and responsive Dana. On our wedding day, Dana did an amazing job at timing and coordinating vendors to line up all the little details. Our guests were quite impressed with how well organized and beautiful our wedding was. When a mishap happened, Dana dealt with it like a true professional and took proper steps to ensure we had the most wonderful experience with her service. We will always remember it as the perfect day and we are very thankful to have her as our wedding planner.

I love Charlee Geisler... there, I said it!…read more My wedding is less than four months away and I am not at all stressed about a thing. Really, I swear. I feel so confident about the way our wedding plans are coming together thanks to Charlee. She's made my life and my mom's life so easy because we are working with her. Charlee is the woman behind Signature Events. She's been in the business for over 18 years and you can tell - she knows what she is doing! Charlee is on top of every single detail - she's creative, fun, and a pleasure to work with. Charlee has helped us with everything from finding a venue, entertainment, transportation, photographer, florist, cake, food selection, invitations, and so much more. Without Charlee's help, I'd be a stress case ready to explode. I cannot thank Charlee enough for all she's helped with so far... of course, I will update this after the big day, but I'm confident that it will be more special than I could ever imagine thanks to the expertise of Signature Events.

Tasha was such a joy to work with. She literally put together an amazing upscale wedding for us…read morewithin a month. The important part was, she did all of that with such a grace! Wedding planning in general is difficult, even if there's a whole year to plan, but it's even far more difficult when you only have one month to do so. Tasha made sure everything went smoothly. Her problem-solving skills are off the charts. She is able to adjust herself to her clients way immediately, and she is so sharp in knowing within a few days what her clients truly want. She is so respectful and understanding of different cultures. One of the most important things to us was being able to communicate with her and get a response immediately especially because we had such a short time to plan the wedding and tasha was always available. Her optimism was extremely calming in difficult situations. Even two months after the wedding was over. When she learned we had trouble with one of the vendors she intervened, and once again, was able to solve the problem with her amazing optimism and action taking abilities tasha truly cares about her clients and definitely makes you feel she's a part of your family holding your hands through the whole process and beyond. I highly recommend Tasha and I'm a very picky mother if the bride who seeks perfection and a bit hard to work with because of that and even with that Tasha scored 100%!

This review is long overdue! I SIMPLY can't say enough positive things about Alexa and Simply…read moreModern Events. We approached Alexa at the beginning of the year for our late March 2015 wedding. We needed a day of coordinator but what we got was so much more. My fiance (now husband) and I thought we had everything taken care of with the exception of the final details. We had already booked the DJ, hair & makeup, the venue, had our invitations sent out.... what more was there to do??? How little we knew.... Alexa's organization and expertise blew us away. We filled out a number of online surveys so that she could make sure that she had every last detail taken care of. Everything from the rehearsal dinner, to the order that our family members would walk down the aisle, to who we wanted photos with (and who we didn't), toast speeches, what songs we wanted played and when, EVERYTHING was addressed and on the day of our wedding, she made sure that neither one of us had to worry about a thing. She attended so many of our meetings with our venue (even though we had a coordinator at the venue) and had an answer for us every time a minor dilemma or problem surfaced. Alexa also provided a number of helpful suggestions for seating charts, cards, first dance moment, re-use of floral arrangements to save money and so much more. I could tell you about how intuitive she is or how quick she was to respond (which is probably my biggest pet peeve when working with people). Or how on my wedding day, she was invaluable and handled everything with class, ease and a level of professionalism that is rarely seen. I will only ever recommend Alexa of Simply Modern Events to friends, family, colleagues.. anyone I come across who needs a wedding planner! ALEXA, WE LOVE YOU!!!!

In the last 30 days before the wedding, Alexa stepped up to help with the final coordinating, which greatly reduced the stress on my fiancée (now wife) and I. As a result, we were able to have our dream wedding without it putting us through the wringer. Even for minor details- like when I realized that my dress had gotten wrinkled en route to our venue- Alexa had a solution. I don't know what we would've done without her! While (hopefully) I won't be needing her wedding planning services again, I definitely consider a good friend, and terrific person. I definitely recommend her and her staff to anyone thinking of tying the knot in the Valley area!

Andrea connected us with top-tier vendors who exceeded not only our expectations, but our guests' as well.

From the very first conversation, it was clear we weren't just working with a professional--we had found someone who genuinely cared about us, our story, and making our day unforgettable. Andrea Leslie Weddings and Events team were more than organized, more than detail-oriented--they were emotionally invested. Every email, every meeting, every little touch felt personal. It was like having a trusted friend guiding us through one of the most important times of our lives. They anticipated needs we didn't even know we had. They held space for our nerves, smoothed out last-minute hiccups without us ever knowing, and created a celebration that was so true to who we are. From the delicate placement of flowers to the timing of the ceremony, every moment felt intentional, thoughtful, and deeply meaningful. Our guests are still raving about how seamless and heartfelt everything felt. But the truth is, the most beautiful part was how Andrea and Noelle made us feel: supported, seen, and genuinely cared for. This wasn't just a job to them. This was a calling--and it showed. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for helping us begin our marriage with so much love, joy, and grace. You gave us a day we'll never forget--and a memory we'll cherish forever.

After meeting up with her, my gut feeling said she will do a good job, but no... she did an AMAZING job! Farrrr surpass my expectations. What I envisioned, she created it, made it happen, and making my wedding so beautiful and very memorable, for myself and guests. Julie is extremely professional, quick on responses, and is just a wonderful person in general! I did flowers and chair rentals with her, but her company, Simply Elegant, does more than that, offering wedding planning/ coordinating services, decorating services, and more. Bottom line is you cannot go wrong with Julie; you'll be more than pleased because Julie will try to make your dream wedding come true. At least, for me, it was certainly perfect and truly SIMPLY ELEGANT!!!!! Thank you Julie!!!!!

I had a vision for what I wanted the florals to look like for my wedding. Before meeting with Julie, I met with at least 5 florists. I very clear in expressing my ideas. All of the florists took over two weeks send me the proposal. They quoted me by the flower--each flower costing a certain amount which always ended up being wayyyy over my budget. When they finally sent me the proposal it was nothing like I pictured. When I would ask them to revise it, they would either tell me what I was asking for couldn't be done or they wouldn't even respond to me. ALL of that changed when I met Julie. I contacted her and she responded almost immediately. She asked me to send her pictures of ideas I had. By the time of our first meeting she already understood my style and had even more suggestions for me that were beautiful! She had the proposal done the same day and worked within my budget. She doesn't stem count so I got more flowers than in any of the other proposals for much, much cheaper. She even custom made one of my centerpieces. She has such a fantastic eye and is so experienced that she made everything more beautiful then I even thought possible! But Julie is so much more than a florist! Even though she wasn't my wedding planner (I already had one by the time I met Julie) she treated me like I was one of her brides. She constantly checked on me. When I had an issue with anything for my wedding, she went out of her way to find a solution. She was with me every step of the way and she made me feel so special and truly made my wedding planning process stress free. She is the best! I am SO thankful I found Julie. I had the wedding of my dreams all thanks to her!
