    Melody was a dream to work with when planning our wedding! She is detailed, responsive, and communicated with us and our vendors so well. I had no stress during my wedding day because I knew we were in Melody's capable hands.

  • Amazing job!

    Danielle and Jenny were amazing. We hired SEG for the "day of" coordination. My daughter and I had picked all the vendors and knew what we wanted for my daughter's big day, and Danielle made it come to light. We had a few meetings leading up to the month of the wedding, and Danielle was there for anything we needed help with. She coordinated with the hotel and vendors, making the day seamless! We can't thank her and Jenny enough for their amazing work! I would recommend SEG to anyone looking for a planner!

    Having Caroline Causey from Simply Elegant Group (Dallas) was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she was not only incredibly supportive but also responsive to every little question or concern we had along the way - and I know I had a lot. Her attentiveness to detail and kindness in every interaction truly set her apart. She became our go-to person for every last-minute need or change, handling it all with such grace that she genuinely felt like a lifesaver. Throughout the planning process, she was always just a message away, and it felt as though she was just as invested in our day as we were. Her calm presence on the big day helped everything run smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment. If something went wrong on my wedding day, I have no idea because Caroline managed everything behind the scenes with ease. If you want someone who genuinely cares, is amazingly organized, and will go above and beyond to make your wedding vision a reality, I can’t recommend Caroline enough!

    We are about two weeks out from our daughter’s wedding. We are still looking back with such extreme delight on what an incredible day it was. My prayers for the wedding were answered. The wedding was beautiful, well organized, and most importantly, so much fun. I would love to express my thanks and appreciation to Caroline Causey of The Simply Elegant Group. She was a Godsend. As our wedding coordinator she was instrumental in ensuring that the day was joyful and memorable. Her attention to detail and ability her ability to keep a bunch of different moving parts working together in harmony and on time were unmatched. She is quiet and unassuming, but confidently gets things done. Caroline has many gifts that enable her to be an outstanding wedding coordinator, but, to me, it is her kindness that truly stands out. During the wedding she of course made sure our Bride and Groom, myself (MOB) and my husband were well taken care of. She also, was very helpful to my elderly parents. In addition, I had a very dear friend that attended my wedding who was using a walker due to a recent illness, Caroline also made sure my friend was assisted with anything she might have needed. When I think of this, even today, I get emotional. You will be so pleased to hire The Simply Elegant Group to assist you in creating a dream wedding
