Testimonials
Hear from some of our past couples and why we don't just talk the talk,
but we walk the walk.
"Her attention to detail, organization, grit and passion for her clients is what makes her the most amazing planner to work with."
"If we could give Amanda 10 stars, we would. From the very beginning, Amanda has given us her 100% in all aspects of our wedding planning journey. We immediately felt understood about what was important to us in regard to our wedding day, even though our ideas changed a few times along the way.
Her attention to detail, organization, grit and passion for her clients is what makes her the most amazing planner to work with. She made us feel like our wedding was the only one on her plate and she always made sure our needs were met before anyone else's. Her communication is unparalleled, she always replied with detailed notes after a meeting and we always felt like we were in the loop in terms of our budget, vendor collaboration and design aspects of our wedding. Amanda always championed for us and never made us feel bad if we had any concerns, and always kept our best interest at heart. We can confidently say that we were able to fully enjoy our day because we had Amanda by our side.
Throughout this process, Amanda has felt like family to us and we've fostered a relationship that will outlast the wedding planning process. We are bittersweet that our wedding has now come and gone and wish we could do it all over again with Amanda's help, guidance and vision. We would recommend her to absolutely anyone getting married. An absolute dream! Xoxo"

"We're very thankful that we picked you."
"We're very thankful that we picked you, and we wish you all the future success as your business grows. It really was smooth sailing from day one. You went above and beyond to ensure our (sometimes ludicrous) ideas became a reality, and for that we are grateful."

"We feel lucky to have been able to work with such an amazing planner."
"We cannot express how much we loved working with Amanda – and we would absolutely recommend her to everyone. She went above and beyond our expectations and we feel lucky to have been able to work with such an amazing planner.
From the first conversation, it was abundantly clear that Amanda was professional and organized. Her energy was infectious, and she instilled in us a level of confidence that she would help make our wedding day go smoothly. We hired her for production services almost a year and a half out, and despite being so far from the wedding day, she made sure to check in on us, offer an opinion on vendor selection, and even provided a helpful self-serve tool to guide us throughout the planning process.
About 5 months before our wedding, our floral + design vendor fell through. Thankfully, Amanda agreed to also take on design services on short notice, without hesitation. Not only did she help bring our vision to life, but she did so in a short timeframe (when rentals for our day were limited) and within budget! We appreciated her help in narrowing down our options to allow for faster decision-making as we locked down chairs, napkins, plates etc.

I expected to be stressed in the weeks leading up to the wedding and on the day of, but we weren’t. I genuinely believe it is Amanda that we have to thank for that! She is responsive, thoughtful, flexible, and supportive. These were key in the weeks before, as last-minute changes came up or we needed help finalizing details. The day of was absolutely amazing and Amanda and her team executed everything flawlessly. She either prevented issues with all her planning or managed to solve them without my knowing because everything was so smooth!
Our families and wedding party, who got to meet Amanda and her assistant during the rehearsal and earlier on in the wedding day, also had such positive things to say about how helpful they were.
We are so glad we decided to invest in Simplicity Events to help with production and design for our wedding. Our wedding experience was much more simple, stress-free, and fun, thanks to the support from Amanda and her team. You won’t regret hiring her!!”
"I will not be planning large events without her."
"Amanda approaches everything with professionalism, kindness and absolute dedication. Not only are her services of the highest quality, she offers a very generous and flexible payment plan and is willing to work with you to ensure you get more than what you asked for. Bridget and I got married in late spring, and Amanda guided us like the light house she is through the trials of planning and executing a wedding. She handled the logistics, and day of coordination. She was organized, solution driven and extremely communicative throughout the process. I only heard about the fires she put out 3 days after the event, when these “situations” reached out to me, to thank Amanda for handling them. Needless to say, I will not be planning large events without her. 10/10 recommend. Amanda is an incredible event planner, and our wedding, and it’s planning, wouldn’t have been smooth without her.”

"She's a great wedding planner & designer, but first of all, she's an amazing human."
"Our wedding was over a month ago, and we are still talking about how amazing it was to work with Amanda. We had partial planning + design with her.
My husband and I still remember watching one of Amanda's video on instagram talking about our services, and how much we liked her energy. Our video call with her sealed the deal. She's a great wedding planner & designer, but first of all, she's an amazing human. She made us feel at ease from the first call with her, and we loved her energy and way of thinking.
This continued throughout the wedding planning process. She is efficient, organized, attentive and always available to answer all our questions. We had some issues with some vendors in the process, and she was always so quick to solve the problems, give us options, and make us feel good.
She also really shined on our wedding day. We had a very specific vision on how we wanted our wedding day to look like, but did not have the tools/skill set to put it to life. She took all our ideas, and executed the most perfect wedding day ever. It was so beautiful and perfect. She also works with an amazing assistant, Emily, who was also great on our wedding day :)
We cannot recommend Amanda enough, and if you're looking for a wedding planner and designer, you're in the best hands with her."

"You won't find anyone else who is as thoughtful, professional, organized, and a joy to work with!"
"If you are hiring an event planner, it should be Amanda and her team!
As many other couples, we had to change our date/venue multiple times due to COVID restrictions. At our last/final change, we decided to have our ceremony in Ottawa and our reception at a private residence ~1hr away, with only 4 weeks to plan. Hiring Amanda was the best decision we made as she was able to manage the whole process in this short amount of time expertly and with so much positive energy!
Her outstanding event management and organizational skills kept us on track with vendors, payments, timelines and she made sure we were happy with what we were getting along the way. Her ability to quickly incorporate our feedback to find the right vendors and materials at budget saved us soooo much time and money along the way without sacrificing our vision.
She was simply AMAZING and pulled it all together for our joyous day. You won't find anyone else who is as thoughtful, professional, organized, and a joy to work with! Thank you Amanda and your team for making our big celebration a reality - it exceeded our expectations and more! "
