It was a pleasure to work with Kate! She was the main contact for a Bride/Grooms wedding block being held at my hotel property. She understood all of the Hotel's Guidelines from the Cut Off Date to the courtesy block we could offer. She was on top of the Room count and also the Rooming List! She was a joy to work with and I would recommend her for anyone looking for a Wedding Coordinator especially for their wedding hotel block! Thanks so much Kate!!!!!

Kate gives 100%! Best option! She knows exactly what to do! She’s flexible and will work with your budget! Every bride should have a Kate!

I highly recommend Kate for your wedding or party planning needs. She’s very professional and thorough.

I wasn't sure that I needed a day of wedding coordinator, but in hindsight I'm so glad that I was able to work with Kate and have her be a part of our day. In the month leading up to our wedding, Kate worked closely with us and always made herself available by phone or e-mail to answer our many questions. She came up with great ideas and did research on things we were interested in learning more about, such as favors and programs. She checked in with all of our vendors and made sure everyone knew the day-of schedule. She provided us with useful spreadsheets to organize all of the details of the day. On the day of, multiple friends and relatives commented on how smoothly everything ran. I felt relaxed and could enjoy the day because I knew Kate was running the show! We can't thank her enough!

I would be lost without Kate. Hiring Simply Sapphire Events was the best decision I could have possibly made for my destination wedding. She helped us coordinate the perfect day! My now husband and I cannot possibly contain enough words to completely express our appreciation for all you have done for us. We thank our lucky stars we found your company to plan the most perfect day. Our wedding was beautiful and glamorous just as we envisioned. It was the day we always dreamed of. The flowers, decorations, food, music and the outdoor location for the reception were stunningly gorgeous. We are still in awe when we look back on everything you did for us, during and now after the wedding. You kept us organized, on schedule and helped us create the most perfect day. Without your help our special day would not have been the picture-perfect event we always dreamed of. Your organization skills, fabulous recommendations, planning, preparation, and attention to detail was impeccable. We ... Read moreappreciate you more than words can say.

As a Caterer I work with many vendors and sometimes you find someone who just has the same passion as you do! Kate is certainly is one of those Wedding & Event Coordinators that simply goes out of her way to make sure all the details are covered. We worked with a couple who lived in Hawaii and at times to get all the information took a few call but we certainly worked together ads a team and made it happen. If your looking for someone to make you an memory to last a lifetime - Kate certainly can do so! Lisa Tevis, Catering Sales Director Jacques Exclusive Caterers

Kate was very organised and made sure the event was running as per the timeline. Definitely recommend Simply Sapphire Events.

Kate was awesome to work with! She was very thorough, detailed and always responded quickly with any questions I had. She made my job easier with her promptness!

After thoroughly researching and making several calls, I made the decision to hire Kate as my day of coordinator. In simple terms, she was a God sent at our wedding. Let me start from the beginning.... My wedding was on August 31st at The Manor, West Orange NJ. I sent Kate all the correspondences I had with different vendors via email. She was ALWAYS available for any of my questions via phone, Facetime or email. She made me feel sane when I felt like I was spiraling down a rabbit hole that is wedding planning. She guided me through getting my way with the vendors. She made sure I was not being bullied by them. She created VERY VERY organized documents detailing the wedding timeline, vendor lists, things to do etc. For a Type A personality like mine that was something that eased my anxiety SO MUCH!!! A month or so before the wedding, she took charge of the entire process. She called all the vendors and coordinated all the details herself. I literally did not have to lift a finger.... Read more For example: I had two different caterers at my wedding (American food and Indian Fusion food) and she took charge of making sure that the two caterers had a clear line of communication between each other. Now for the wedding day ..... I was the least stressed out Bride ever to walk down the aisle. I am not exaggerating at all. Kate arrived early morning and she started by pouring champagne for me and the bridesmaids. She was so gracious enough to not let any of the bridesmaids lift a finger. She travelled between the hotel and the venue itself to transfer all my things. She coordinated with the groom and the groomsmen to make sure they were running on time. No one EVER bothered me with ANY trouble shooting questions AT ALL. I was just in my own little world enjoying my day and no one asked me any unnecessary questions! How awesome is that??? This was all thanks to Kate. After the ceremony, the reception flowed flawlessly. Kate ensured that we took pictures with everyone we listed. She even ensured that there was time for me and my husband to grab food during the cocktail hour which was very important to us. During the reception, all different aspects just flowed together seamlessly. People still talk about our wedding and say it was the wedding of the century. I honestly believe that the night unfolded the way it did thanks to Kate. Several people asked about her and complimented her work. A few of my friends are definitely going to hire her for their own wedding. Simple things like making sure I was hydrated, had dinner, got to dance, got to hug my brother after his speech about me ...they meant a lot to me. Above all...she was nice enough to pack all my things from the bridal suite at the venue to transport them safely and neatly back to my hotel room. I never had to worry about anything. She's so nice, professional and her positive energy is something I feel very blessed to have had the pleasure of working with. She did not make me feel like i was just some client for financial gain at all. She truly loves what she does and takes pride in her work. It's rare to find people who put their 110% into their tasks but Kate truly embodies this. Trust me..do yourself a favor and hire her. This will definitely be the smartest decision you make during your wedding planning.

Kate Anderson is a hard-working professional who was on top of every last detail of our clients wedding - she knocked it right out of the park and it was a pleasure working with her to make sure the bride and groom had a wedding to remember - I'd definitely recommend Simply Sapphire Events!

It is so hard for me to even try to put into words how amazing Kate is but will give it my best try! We can honestly say that our wedding would not have happened without Kate. From the first day that we spoke, she has been a true advocate for us and such an absolute pleasure to work with. She always goes beyond above and beyond and has her eye on every single detail. We worked with Kate for our Indian fusion event in June as our day-of coordinator – though she is much more than a day-of coordinator! She did a great job of learning the Indian traditions and helped make sure every detail was executed exactly how we wanted. Given the fusion aspect of our wedding, our event was on the more complicated side and Kate did an incredible job of navigating that and managing our vendors – a few who were difficult to manage. During the week of the wedding, Kate was instrumental in making sure everyone knew where they needed to be and what needed to be done. As traditional Indian weddings are, ... Read morewe started festivities a few days before the big day and because I knew Kate had everything handled, was able to truly enjoy the fun and family without worrying about the details for the wedding day. On the day of, we had a major issue with a vendor, and Kate was there bright and early to help figure out next steps. Throughout the day, she continued to advocate for us and make sure our event went flawlessly. Our entire family, wedding party, and even guests have been raving about how wonderful Kate is and we would – and have! - recommend her without hesitation.

I worked with Kate as a vendor and she was on top of her game. Before the event date, and throughout the wedding day she was in constant contact with us and other vendors and ensured everyone's needs were taken care of. There was a lot involved with making the couple's wedding day successful, and Kate was able to handle all aspects of a large wedding without breaking a sweat. To those couples hesitant on hiring a wedding and event coordinator, Kate will take the worry out of logistics and management of day-of activities so you can focus on what is important... your wedding day.

Kate was an absolute pleasure to work with! We worked together on a wedding earlier this summer where I was the photographer and she was the planner and I couldn't have asked for anyone better to work with. She went above and beyond to make sure we got the room with the best light for the bride getting ready, she scheduled a call and communicated the wedding day timeline to me weeks in advance so we were on the same page. She checked on me from time to time to make sure we were on track with the timeline so nothing was falling behind. From her communication online to her relationship with clients and vendors offline, its apparent that she genuinely loves weddings and her job, cares about her clients and vendors working for the clients and wants the best experience for everyone. I will recommend Kate to anyone in a heart beat.

I was engaged and married within 6 months. Yes, that’s right - I only had 6 months to plan and execute a wedding. I could not have done it without Simply Sapphire Events. Kate was beyond organized with my wedding budget and “to-do” lists. She somehow managed to get my husband to hold up his end of the wedding responsibilities - which is no easy feat. Every detail was taken care of which allowed me to sit back and truly enjoy my wedding day. I even ran into my caterer last week and he said “your wedding coordinator was fantastic, she was really on top of everything!" There is a lot of debate on whether or not you need a wedding coordinator to pull of the wedding of your dreams - trust me when I tell you...you don’t need just any wedding coordinator - you need Kate!
