Working with Simply You Weddings in Key West is always stress free and easy from start to finish! This past weekend I worked with Jennifer on a destination wedding in Key West. Being a photographer who travels, knowing you have a professional team at your destination is always a major plus!

Jennifer’s warmth, professionalism, and keen eye for detail created a seamless planning experience. Her entire staff worked tirelessly behind the scenes, ensuring every aspect was flawless.

As a photographer, I appreciated their clear communication and flawless timelines, making it easy to capture each special moment. Truly a five-star team who delivers unforgettable events with style and grace.

Desiree from Simply You is an absolute gem in the world of wedding planning. From the moment we met, she infused every interaction with a sense of warmth, understanding, and unwavering dedication to making our wedding day dreams a reality. Her meticulous attention to detail ensured that not just the day itself, but every moment leading up to it, unfolded with effortless grace and precision.

As the big day approached, Desiree's presence was a calming force, seamlessly orchestrating every aspect with a level of efficiency and expertise that left us in awe. Her genuine kindness and caring nature made the entire planning process not only manageable but enjoyable, as she navigated challenges with grace and always had a solution at the ready.

Hiring a month-of planner was one of the best decisions we made, and having Desiree by our side was an absolute blessing. She didn't just coordinate logistics; she poured her heart and soul into ensuring that every detail reflected our vision and love story. From coordinating vendors to managing timelines, Desiree's tireless dedication ensured that we could focus on savoring every precious moment of our special day.

I cannot recommend Desiree and Simply You highly enough. She is not just a wedding planner; she's a true partner, confidante, and friend throughout the journey. With her by your side, you can rest assured that your wedding day will be nothing short of perfection.

We loved working with Jess at Simply You! We were living in the Keys when we started wedding planning and had hired all of all our vendors, so we decided on the Day Of Coordination package, which actually starts 30 days before the wedding. That turned out to be a great thing for us because we unexpectedly moved to Canada a few months before the wedding. I was so stressed before the wedding because we’d moved to a new country, I was trying to finish up end of semester course work, and I was at a conference the week before the wedding. But that’s where Jess stepped in. She took over everything and coordinated with the vendors, made sure we had everything done we needed to, and reassured me the entire time that everything was OK. She even set up appointments for us with Steam Queen and handled the cake when the baker said she couldn’t make the design we wanted. She made us a very thorough timeline, which I really appreciated. The day before the wedding, she made sure everyone knew where they were supposed to be and when. The day of the wedding, she kept everyone on schedule and things went perfectly. Not only was Jess 110% on top of everything but she is also just a nice person and enjoyable to be around. We liked her, my parents liked her, even my grandparents liked her. She did a fantastic job and is absolutely someone we would recommend to help with your wedding.

WOW! Where do we even begin?! My husband and I had the opportunity to work with Jessica Jones at Simply You, who served as our wedding coordinator for our Key West wedding. Not only did Jessica provide us with the most dependable guidance and support for our original wedding date, that was scheduled to take place in April, but she also managed to deal with postponing, rescheduling, replanning, and corrdinating our wedding when we made the decision to push it back due to COVID-19. I could not recommend Jessica, and the entire Simply You staff, more. Our experience was nothing shy of amazing.

Experience-
Jessica is a bubbly, kind-hearted and genuine person. She made it a point to truly get to know myself, my husband, and our story. My husband and I both felt and immediate connection with Jessica. This made our wedding planning experience enjoyable, stress-free and beyond memorable.

Planning-
Every single detail of our wedding WEEK was organized, planned, outlined, and reviewed - down to the minute. Jessica provided us with her professional advice throughout the entire planning process and was thorough, helpful, positive, and intentional when working with us. It is obvious that Jessica takes great pride in the importance of the wedding going off without a hitch. And because of this, along with her detailed mindset, our wedding DID go off without a hitch. It was PERFECT in all aspects, because of Jessica's guidance and planning.

Professionalism-
Beginning with our initial inquiry, all the way through our wedding weekend, Jessica was transparent, prompt, and responsive. Jessica proactively communicated with us throughout the entire process. She provided us with recommendations, tips, and ideas for our big day. She asked our opinion of how we envisioned our wedding. She gave us her advice when working with all the added COVID guidelines and restrictions. She kept an eye on the hourly forecast when we were dealing with a hurricane week of, and above all, she ensured our day was everything we could have ever imagined and more.

Jessica went above and beyond in each and every way possible. We truly could not have planned a destination wedding... TWICE... worked around a hurricane, and still pull off the most magical day ever without the help of Jessica and Simply You Weddings. Thank you for all that you did to make our wedding week simply perfect. We appreciate you, Jessica!

I have had the pleasure of working with Desiree many times and her planning skills are only outmatched by her day of execution skills. Her attention to detail, ability to roll with the day and keep the timeline, all while keeping a smile on her face is absolutely amazing. She even worked the bubble gun so I was able to get this image of this wonderful couple!

I want to say a big thank you to Jennifer Perez for her help planning our destination wedding. She was detailed, professional, and lovely to work with! Our day was truly perfect, and Jennifer’s planning made for smooth sailing on the day of the wedding.

I also want to say thank you to Julie, the owner of Simply You. Julie responded quickly and was super attentive to any concerns we had. I appreciated that professionalism.

To sum everything up, just hire Simply You. You’ll appreciate having someone on the ground in Key West helping you plan your destination wedding.

I got married in Key West on March 23, 2019. I couldn't have planned this wedding without Jenn and her team at Simply You. Planning from afar was difficult because I was getting to know my vendors online, and I had a lot of trouble making my decisions. Simply You made it so much easier by providing options and insight. I am so happy that I went with full-service for the following reasons:
1) VENDORS: Jenn has been working with vendors in Key West for years and she helped me by providing options and letting me make my the decision. Jenn was very patient with me as I had trouble deciding between some vendors and also changed directions a few times, but Jenn was right there with me every step of the way. When my husband said he wanted ice cream sandwiches instead of a cake, Jenn worked with local cookie shop Mattheessen's to create the cookie ice cream sandwich. She truly went above and beyond and I couldn't have been happier to have gone with the full service model for many reasons, especially for the vendor sourcing aspects.
2) FAMILY // Jenn worked with me, my husband, my mom, my mother-in-law and probably more members of my family throughout the experience. It probably wasn't easy to have so many cooks in the kitchen, but Jenn handled our pack with grace!
3) THE DAY OF// Our wedding day was perfect. It was absolutely perfect. I know that there was a lot going on behind the scenes and Jenn made sure that everything went smoothly.

If you're trying to decide whether or not to hire a wedding planner, DO IT! If you're trying to decide whether to go for day of vs. 60 days out vs. full-service, I recommend full-service. I was originally planning on the 60 day out partial, but I think it should be all or nothing or all (full service) or day of because there is SO MUCH to do before that 60 day point. You will be so happy you did when you actually get to enjoy your wedding day! Thank you, Simply You!
