Your search for the ideal wedding planner has ended, because Becky is your gal. We had the pleasure of working with her for a year and a half leading up to our wedding, and we cannot say enough good things about her. I personally love planning events and have done so my whole life, but I did not comprehend how much more work goes into a wedding. Becky was an absolute hero for us, thinking of solutions to everything before we even knew that there was a problem. She made the process so relaxed and enjoyable, all while making sure that we adhered to the timelines and budget that we agreed to from the beginning. We live in Seattle and were planning a wedding in Chicago, and we would not have been able to do it without her boots on the ground. Her prices are extremely reasonable and knowing how much she did for us, we would have been willing to pay much more than we did.

She is an excellent balance of everything that you need. She is an advocate for you when you are negotiating with the vendors. She has a very soothing personality that makes you feel calmer when you are overwhelmed. She is well organized and tracks everything in a spreadsheet, along with meetings every once in a while, so that you always know what's coming. She will push you when you need to be pushed, and has strong opinions based on her years of experience in the industry. Because of her vast network in Chicago, she can reach out to someone last minute to put together a song recording for you or get your mother-in-law a better hotel room (both of which happened for us). If you want to think of some creative ideas, Becky is ready to Pinterest brainstorm with you. She will ask you and vendors about details that you didn't even know you needed to consider, and will save you from dealing with a headache down the line. She brings an enthusiasm and joy to the process that is contagious for her clients.

I would highly recommend the full service, because she was really able to get to know us over time. On the wedding day, we had built up complete trust that she would make the right call and represent us without having to be involved. On the day of the wedding, there were multiple extreme events that occurred that could have ruined the night for the guests (including a key person having to run to the hospital and traffic that quadrupled the shuttle time from the venue). The best part? We didn't find out about either of them until days later! Her number one priority is making sure that you are enjoying your day, and she shoulders the burdens so that the bride and groom don't have to do so themselves. We had our dream wedding, from the rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks on the Chicago river, to the rooftop ceremony with the city skyline view, to an excellent party in an artsy warehouse in Pilsen with a live band, flipbook photobooth, and open bar. We wouldn't change one thing, and with the amount of compliments we have gotten from our guests, I would say that they agree.

It's impressive to see someone with such talent and passion for what they do, and we are so lucky that we came across Simplicitee when we were searching! She is now scaling out her business, and we cannot wait to see what she does in the future. She is one of those rare people that you bet on, because you know that anything she touches will be naturally elevated. We appreciate you more than you know, Becky!

In the first few weeks of wedding planning, it became obvious we would be juggling a lot with vendors/venues/scheduling/etc. Our wedding is supposed to be about us, not directing vendor setup! That’s when Becky came to our rescue. We honestly can’t imagine what our wedding would have been like without her. From working with our vendors to getting people in the right place at the right time, we were able to focus on the joys of the day, and not the behind the scenes work required to make that possible. If you want to enjoy your wedding instead of coordinating your wedding, Simplicitee wedding planning is an absolute must.

Becky was incredible to work with! She was easy to communicate with leading up to the big day, and made certain the day itself ran smoothly. I am so happy we chose Simplicitee Experiences!
