    More than a wedding planner

    Michelle helped plan the most spectacular wedding! No drama. Kept everyone calm even when adjustments had to be made due to weather. Went above and beyond expectations. Setup and tear down beautifully executed. Impossible without her.

    The Best in the Biz!

    Hey y’all! My name is Rob Rubino and I’ve been in the wedding industry for 20 years as a DJ/MC in NY and AZ.
    You can not get any better than Simply Refined Events with Nicole and Michelle. I have worked with them both many times and their attention to detail is unmatched. Combine that with their wedding knowledge, experience, and down to earth personalities, and there really is no one better than Nicole and Michelle for your wedding planning and execution on the day of. I love working with these ladies, and the weddings are always a blast!

    The best of the best

    Michelle Scarzone is absolutely incredible at what she does. I could never imagine going through the process of planning our wedding without her expertise, vendor recommendations, event planning skills, and coordination of communicating all the essential information with everybody! I firmly believe that everything went as smoothly as it did on our wedding day largely in thanks to Michelle. She is truly a gem and ensured that we had a stress free, beautiful wedding day and amazing reception in which we didn't have to worry about a single thing. I would recommend her in a heart beat and can't say enough good things about her. You need Michelle on your team when it comes to weddings. She has the best personality and paid attention to every detail. Thanks again for everything, Michelle!

    Fantastic Wedding Coordinator!

    We cannot say enough good things about Nicole! She stepped in as our day-of-coordinator and executed our vision perfectly. She was beyond organized, set everything up perfectly, communicated effectively and was so fun to work with. She ensured our day was everything we could have imagined! I would highly recommend the Simply Refined Team!

    Loved nicole!

    I LOVED working with Nicole! I am a bit of a control and organizational freak so it was AMAZING to have Nicole as my day of planner and helping out the last month leading up to our wedding day! She was so kind and always on top of everything. Recommended great vendors, helped out with the schedule and made sure everything went smooth and I didn't have to think about a thing! I would highly recommend her!!

    The Icing on the Cake!

    Michelle and Simply Refined Events was recommended to us from our venue. We are very particular with details and Michelle helped us have the perfect evening. Michelle also has a very calm demeanor which is very important when so many personalities are involved with the planning. At the end of the evening - everything from the reception magically appeared in our garage and it was the icing on the cake not to have to go back and pick up all the gifts, and props that were at the venue. If you are looking for a calming personality to work with who close has the precision of an uptight planner - she is your girl!

    Nicole as Day of Coordinator

    We had the pleasure of working with Nicole as our day-of-coordinator. I am amazed at everything she was able to do in the amount of time that she had. She took the design of the bride and groom and made everything look fabulous. She made sure every detail was perfect and dealt with little glitches as to not be noticed by the bride, groom and guests!
    With the timeline, the day went incredibly smooth. She stayed on top of all the vendors as they arrived, worked extremely well with everyone, made sure everything looked spectacular, and even continued to check in with the bride and groom to make sure they were eating! We can’t thank her enough for everything she did for us! I would highly recommend her to anyone planning their wedding! Nicole, with her super organizing talents, made the day one that everyone could enjoy!

    The perfect planner for my perfect day!

    My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Nicole as our wedding planner, and that was by far the BEST decision we made! Nicole was a dream to work with! From assisting with making my vision come to life, to recommending the perfect vendors for us, she truly did it all! Nicole joined me on all my vendor meetings to ensure my satisfaction was being met. Day of, Nicole made sure every detail was perfect! With the timeline she created, the day went absolutely seamless. She stayed on top of all the vendors as they arrived, made sure everything looked stunning, and even continued to check in with the groomsmen to make sure they were getting ready on time! We can’t thank her enough for everything she did for us! I would highly recommend her to absolutely anyone planning their wedding!

    We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner. Michelle was helpful with everything we needed her for and more, without being over bearing. She made our vision a reality on the day of our wedding and truly made our wedding day the BEST DAY EVER!! Michelle will hold a special place in our hearts forever and we highly recommend her to everyone. Thank you again!!

    Michelle with Simply Refined Events did an AMAZING job. We entered the wedding planning process thinking we didn't need a coordinator/wedding planner, but started working with Michelle to see what she could add to our experience. We quickly realized that Michelle's contribution was not only valuable, but essential to achieving the experience we desired for our guests and ourselves.

    We are a highly organized couple, but planning a destination wedding with our level of detail, just would not have been possible without Michelle. I highly recommend Michelle for anyone in a similar position.

    In addition to the planning process, Michelle's day-of service was phenomenal. I just cannot imagine how we could have coordinated everything without her. We were fortunate to find her.

    WOW. I cannot say enough nice things about Michelle. She was truly the mastermind behind my perfect wedding weekend. She was a rockstar! She understood my concept and my personality (important) from the start, she was the BEST wedding decision I made besides the I Do's! She worked her butt off and got everything done right & perfect. I really got to enjoy my whole experience cause Michelle managed it ALL, 3 days of it. I never knew IF anything went wrong or there was a problem, Michelle was on it. My whole family loved her. I HIGHLY recommend Michelle for any event, you will not be disappointed. Very happy to be a reference.

    My wife and I had a small destination wedding in Hawaii in 4/2014, then a formal reception locally for our family and friends a few months later in 10/2014. Hiring Michelle Scarzone at Simply Refined Events was BY FAR the smartest thing we did for the reception. From the initial meeting, we were so comfortable with Michelle that we felt we had know her for years. She is simultaneously down-to-earth and professional. She is exceptional at her job. The time she saved us recommending a select range of vendors (i.e, catering, florists, photography, DJ) based on our preferences and personalities was simply priceless. She also works within the budget and is very clear and open about the costs. This was particularly appreciated since our wedding coordinator in Hawaii was rather awful in that regard. She also has a great eye for design. We received so many complements from our guests about how stunning the decor was the night of our reception. I must admit I was not involved in much of this part of the planning (my wife was kind enough to do most of this), but when I saw the room I was blown away. Michelle took our vague ideas of the colors and look we wanted it and made it into an eye-popping, fun, stylish, and beautiful room. The next day she made our backyard similarly stunning for the day after family brunch. The night of the reception itself, Michelle worked very hard and was on top of everything. The evening went so smoothly and was so much fun. Michelle has a saying on her website that she wants you to guest at your own party and enjoy it. Well, she means it and she delivered that experience for us perfectly. I cannot say enough good things about Michelle. Hire her with confidence. Should we plan another large event in the future, we would contact Michelle immediately.

    If you are seriously considering a wedding planner/coordinator, contact SRE. My wedding was the most beautiful even of my life thanks to them. I did not have to worry about anything, since they were able to do everything for me on my wedding day. I could not begin to tell you how much better the whole planning process was having Michelle coordinating everything. Great service and great people! You will become friends with such a wonderful person working with you for months on end!

    Simply Refined Events (Michelle Scarzone) is amazing. We were fortunate to have Simply Refined Events for the entire wedding process: from begging design to brunch the next day. I highly recommend Simply Refined Events for any wedding planning needs. From the first meeting until the last guest left, our wedding was flawless, thanks to Michelle. She is very organized, detailed, and easy to work with. Michelle's resources are limitless, and this gives the bride a perfectly matched vendor list to choose from. Our wedding day was the most perfect day. My husband and I were able to relax, and enjoy family and friends without any worries.

    Michelle made the months/weeks leading up to and our actual wedding day completely stress-free! Whether it was her recommendation for a vendor, talking me thru the pros of cons when I couldn't make a decision or 'taking charge' when I needed her to, Michelle was awesome and very easy to talk to! Thanks again for EVERYTHING, Michelle!!!

    Michelle was AWESOME !! If I could put more than 5 stars I would. As the Mother of the Bride who lives out of state, she made sure that I had nothing to worry about. She took care of everything and MORE ! My daughter's day went smoothly and without a hitch. It is a day that she (and I) will cherish forever. Thank you Michelle !!
