    I have worked with Simply Natural Events (SNE) for my wedding in 2015 and a 10-year business anniversary this past June 2018. Collaborating with Annette and her team have made planning and organization a smooth and enjoyable process. The event design suggestions they offer are creative and pleasing. One of the things I most appreciate is how SNE meets your budget or comes under it. I look forward to future events with them. Annette, et al go above and beyond in giving a fun experience for you and your guests.

    We were very happy with Simply Natural for day-of wedding coordination. Alessa was very kind, knowledgeable, and organized, helping the day go very smoothly.

    From the website building to the design of the invitations, to the thematic groove, to the music and on and on and on, Annette was there every step of the way, even offering to attend dress fittings with me. When my family was back East as I remained on the West Coast in my adopted home, Annette became like a surrogate Mother, always there for me. There is so so so much I could refer to: the piñata I had, the gorgeous layout of our beach wedding, the tequila and traditional cigar bar she suggested and arranged, the way she took over the arranging of the flowers when the florist wasn't up to par with what Annette wanted, the way she took the flowers from our Wedding and had them gorgeously transported to the Farewell Brunch the following day and set up to frame our good-bye so elegantly, to the way she took pictures at the drop of a hat and also found us our insanely talented Wedding Photographer and my exquisite make-up artist and the band and DJ, to helping guests who maybe had too much to drink, to the way she came up with the idea to frame old wedding photos of both my parents and my in-laws to display around our wedding venue, to the Cenote and Cliff jumping tour she arranged for all my guests, to the shuttles she organized and the rehearsal dinner she created.....there is so, so, so MUCH I could say....but perhaps the most telling, even more so than my Husband and My and our Parent's overall elation with what she managed to create, the most, most telling example of how perfect our day was might be that we were chosen to have our wedding featured in the nationally acclaimed, "Best Destination Weddings and Honeymoons" Magazine as the BEST DESTINATION WEDDING this Summer unbeknownst to us!!! (We indeed were proudly featured in the July/August Edition of "Best Destination Weddings and Honeymoons" Magazine 2015). I have written 10 pages of a review but this is all the website here will allow me to write.....there is SO MUCH MORE TO SAY! (Go to YELP 4 FULL Review!)

    We had our wedding at Stone Manor in Malibu this spring. It was the perfect day and we absolutely could not have done it without Annette. We wanted things to be unique and envisioned a fun party more than a traditional wedding. Annette was our planner and she truly made our vision come to life. The wedding turned out amazing, our friends and family were blown away and it's even being featured.

    Not only is Annette incredibly good at planning, but she has a great sense of style and loves the design aspect. We wanted a different, eclectic, hip twist on a glamorous beach wedding that reflected our love of California. No idea was too crazy, even when we called her and asked her assist us in creating an over-sized, bright mustache and lips sign. She was always on board and knows how to bring your vision to life. Annette is also constantly in communication, available to talk about ideas or logistics day or night, email and phone.

    A wedding at a private estate is logistically harder to pull off than a traditional setting, so you need to have someone you trust to put all the pieces of the puzzle together. Annette is extremely calm, looks at a problem logically and always has the answer. Her vendor contacts are top-notch and everyone that she recommended along the way was excellent. She really understood our personality and matched us up with the right people to make our day perfect.

    To sum it up, Annette made planning the wedding fun from day one through the big day. She is a truly awesome person and a truly superb planner.

    Annette and her team were a true pleasure to work with. Annette is well known by our venue and vendors for her "calming presence." This is completely true when we first met her and working with her from start to finish. We booked her as our "day of coordinator" but they do more than just the "day of!" She's essentially a "month of" and more! She is very responsive...her team will email you the open items that need to be accomplished before the wedding day. She also gave us great vendor recommendations, including our photographer and DJ. She doesn't just go through the motions of being a coordinator, she actually thinks of your best interests and what will work best. For example, when we went over the wedding day timeline, as we went through the items that we wanted, she gave great recommendations on what we should do/don't do with logical reasoning behind her recommendations.

    I highly recommend Simply Natural because we weren't stressed at all the days leading up to the big day. On the wedding day, she and her team were readily available, very professional and well received by our family/guests. Everyone commented on how professional and organized they were. Our wedding day was beautiful, thank you Annette!

    I have never written a review but based on the wonderful experience with Annette, I had to sign up and write this review. I had used Annette as a "day of coordinator" for our wedding back in February. Annette was calm,friendly, sweet and very helpful. She made sure everything went as planned on our wedding day and was there if I needed anything. They even made a beautiful rose design in our honeymoon suite. It was a sweet surprise! If I could recommend her to every bride, I would!

    I had an ongoing issue with my florist a few months after our wedding. I had called Annette for advice on how to deal with the situation. Not only did she listen to my concerns, she went out of her way to help resolve the situation. I can not thank her enough! She was the voice of reason in a hectic situation.

    Choosing the right coordinator for your wedding day is crucial in making sure everything goes as plan. The right coordinator can help set the mood and pace for the whole day. You will not be disappointed by using Annette and will be in good hands!

    Annette from Simply Natural was such a pleasure to work with from the day I first contacted her for a consultation to the day of the wedding. Though I booked her “day of coordination” package, she was very accessible throughout the wedding planning process when I had questions on vendors and always took time to provide me with ample feedback. Above all, she is a very personable and down-to-earth person.

    In the final weeks leading up to the wedding, it can be extremely stressful for the bride & groom. Annette puts together a terrific wedding schedule and followed up with all of my vendors. (In fact, all my vendors were very impressed with how thorough my coordinator was). When the day of the wedding came, I felt like everything was absolutely perfect and I was able to enjoy the entire day without any worries. I’m not sure if things were smooth behind the scenes, but if there were any hiccups Annette made sure I did not know.

    A very nice touch that just goes to show how thoughtful Annette is … during our dinner reception Annette went upstairs into our suite and decorated our room with leftover rose petals and candles. I would highly recommend Annette to anyone planning a wedding!

    Our wedding on June 12th, 2010 was perfect, and it was all because of Annette from Simply Natural Events! From the minute we met Annette, we felt completely at ease which is not an easy feat considering we had only 2-3 months to plan the perfect day! We adored her calm energy, organization, creativity, and attentiveness throughout the whole process. She was always available when we needed her and handled every detail we requested from the smallest (like a ribbon on the cake knife) to the largest (like caterer, rentals, etc., etc.).

    Without a doubt, Simply Natural Events / Annette is amazing and will not let you down on such an important day. Believe me, I am a very picky bride with high expectations, and if she can get this kind of glowing review from me, she must be good! Our guests are still talking about our wedding being the best they have ever attended. Everything went so smooth from beginning to end. Thanks again Annette! We will recommend you to all brides-to-be or anyone planning a special event! P.S. Can't wait to hire you for a baby shower. :)

    Dear Carole- My sister defined your service as "the best money she spent" and that was before she even walked down the aisle. You and your very nice assistant took the helm of a wedding ship that can very quickly get off course. Over 50 people on site to manage, three unruly bridesmaids, and many many opinions and you were still able to make us all happy. You were above all else kind and delicate, someone that helped me, a bridesmaid, make the brides day wonderful. You did a wonderful job, any coordinator can be efficient but you were truly a pleasure. thank you for making my my sister and my brother in laws day what it was, a spectacular event.

    Choosing to use Simply Natural Events was by far the best decision I made while planning the wedding, except for the groom, of course! Carole was amazing to work with. She answered all my emails and phone calls promptly. She executed our wedding day beautifully. And when asked "Has anything gone wrong?" she answered "not at all". I don't know if that was true but she keep the day going exactly on schedule without a hair out of place. Thank you Carole for you wonderful work. It's much appreciated!

    Simply Natural Events is awesome. Annette was professional, warm and a great partner to create my magical wedding. It was so wonderful to just let go and enjoy my wedding knowing that Annette and her team were overseeing everything. I would highly recommend her and Simply Natural Events. My wedding day was filled with grace and fun and Annette had everything to do with making it easy and simple.

    Annette is sweet, professional, and experienced. Annette was great at taking care of everything for me in the month leading up to the big day. We only had 1 mistake, which I think Annette could have avoided. Basically, our early guests (including the Groom and Best Man) who she knew would be there early were left standing awkwardly in the lobby until my brother-in-law called his wife (my MOH) and told her. We called Annette and she quickly made her way to the lobby to rectify the situation. A minor thing, but it really upset me and the Groom and could have been avoided. Other than that, Annette did a great job setting up the centerpieces and the reception looked amazing! I would recommend Annette to future brides who need a day-of-coordinator. Oh, and her assistant Alessandra is amazing!!!
