Simplicity couple featured in "The Knot" Magazine!

In May we had the pleasure of coordinating Katie and Jake's wedding.  The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was a non-stop party.  Katie had taken a lot of time and effort in planning the big day.  They had a large guestlist and wanted to be budget conscious without sacrificing anything.  They did such a fantastic job that "The Knot" magazine included them in a great article that breaks down the cost, vendor by vendor, of 3 very different Michigan weddings.

The magazine should hit stands around November 23rd and it is the Spring/Summer issue on page 191.  We got our hands on an advance copy and scanned parts of the article.  Check it out!

As one of Katie and Jake's vendors, we made the list!  As you can see, the custom package we created for them is valued at $750.  We met with Katie and Jake to determine exactly what areas they needed help with before creating this package.  Just to name a few of the main items included:  unlimited time on the day of with a head coordinator and assistant (it turned out to be around 15 hours), setup and tear down of all decor, distribution and coordination of "thunderstick" grand entrance, setup/refill/tear down of an enormous candy buffet and cupcake stand.  This was all in addition to our normal coordination duties.  It was a long day, but it was so much fun!  We are grateful to have been a part of it.

Here are the kind words that Katie wrote about us:
"Jill and Shelly were AMAZING! I could not have done this without them. I was one of those people who didn't think she needed a DOC and would "let one of the aunts do it" and I was wrong. I trusted Jill and Shelly to set everything up and they did an absolutely amazing job. I could not have done better myself. They kept the candy buffet filled and when no one was eating the cupcakes, they boxed them ALL up and started handing them out to people. If it wasn't for them, I would still be eating 300+ cupcakes! If you are at all skeptical about a DOC, go meet with them, trust me, you NEED a DOC. They kept me 100% calm all the way up the aisle and all the way thru the reception. I love them!!!"
