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!

She made planning my wedding so much more enjoyable and less stressful. She was a pure joy to work with. I literally couldn’t have done it without her! Thank you, Kate for being so instrumental in planning the wedding of our dreams!

During the beyond stressful last year of Covid Wedding Planning, Kate is a moment of clarity. With numerous calls to check in, she is always on hand for every needed question or concern. With all the unknowns of if the wedding was actual going to happen, she still provided us with great ideas for favors and set up, as well as all the paperwork and advice needed for before, during and after our event. I would hands down use Simply Sapphire again and 100% recommend to all of those I love most!!

Kate was recommended to me by Travelsmith's in Pt. Pleasant as I was beginning to plan my destination wedding. I live in Mississippi but wanted to use people from NJ for the planning because they would be more understanding of my expectations (weddings in Mississippi are MUCH different than up north). Throw in the fact that COVID-19 happened right in the middle of our planning and I was adamant about not changing my date (August 2), this planning might have been a little more tricky. However, Kate handled everything so well. She clearly had long lists of everything that could possibly go into a wedding and we were able to go through everything and narrow it down to exactly what I wanted. From there, Kate worked closely with the wedding coordinators at the resort (El Dorado Royale) and made sure that our day was perfect. I was so concerned about our guestlist dropping from 45-50 people to only 18 but the space we were able to arrange was perfect. The décor was exactly what I imagined. ... Read moreKate was able to negotiate with the on-site wedding coordinators to get us exactly what we wanted. We were able to put together the perfect event just by speaking over the phone. Kate uses technology very well to keep everything well organized. I consider myself to have high-expectations but I am also very laid back. Kate understood my personality and we got along perfectly!

Kate was amazing to work with. She was so helpful throughout the entire process. We had some big changes that we needed to make during our planning process and Kate was extremely professional and supportive helping us through it. Throughout the entire experience I was thankful to have someone to call and talk things through with.

Thank you Kate. You are the BEST!!! We are so thankful to you for guiding us throught our covid-19 permitting wedding. Your encouragement to keep our date of 6/6/20 and the main thing was us and our love commitment to each other.. You went above and beyond and also became our officiant. You performed a beautiful ceremony. .....professional, attention to detail, knowledgeable, organized, but most of all kind! Thank you , Ron And Tracy Milroy

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

This company went above and beyond to make our dreams come true! I can not thank them enough!!!

Kate was so organized from the moment we met her that we knew we needed to hire her as our day of coordinator before our initial meeting was over. In the months and weeks leading up, we combined our spreadsheet super powers and had our wedding day mapped out to a science. We always felt reassured after talking to her. She was quick to reply and was so helpful throughout our planning. On our wedding day, Kate ran the show perfectly from 8:30 am to 11:30 pm. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure everything went as planned! Thank you Kate!

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!

If you are looking for a wedding planner or day of coordinator hire Kate, she is amazing! We hired Kate to be our day of coordinator and to find us transportation vendors for our wedding. Kate found us great vendors for the limo and shuttle bus. She put together a detailed timeline for the wedding day, coordinated directly with the venue and all the vendors we hired, which put us at ease, especially since there was a short turnaround at the venue from when the wedding before ours ended and ours began. Kate is good at what she does because she cares, she listens, she is organized, and she gives good advice and suggestions. She was always available via the phone or email whenever we needed her. She went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly for our wedding, she even ran out to pick something up from the store that my now husband needed for the reception. Any issues that came up she handled them. She allowed us to enjoy our day and truly helped us have a great we... Read moredding!

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.

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
