Simcha's Events

tressful planning. The day of our wedding, I didn’t worry about a single thing because I knew Simcha already had it taken care of! The best part was when we let our other vendors know we were working with Simcha, they all knew her and knew that everything would go so smoothly. She was a joy to work with!

Her relationship with different vendors signaled to me her experience in event planning. Simcha often came up with GREAT creative ideas if we were unsure of a concept. She answered emails quickly with specific answers and/or options. She was cool headed and always upbeat. Simcha handled any circumstance in a professional manner. The day of the wedding I was calm because I knew whatever might come up, Simcha would handle it with ease, professionalism, and a smile on her face.

for me because of Simcha. We were able to sit back and enjoy the wedding day because we knew everything was in Simcha’s and her staff’s capable hands. Honestly, working with her and her staff was the best decision we made. Her organizational skills and management from start to finish was invaluable. Without hesitation, I would recommend Simcha’s Events to anyone! Just the best!

of so that I could enjoy the moment and spend time with my fiance and loved ones. She did an incredible job planning my sister's wedding and I knew she would deliver for mine. Simcha was incredibly organized, responsive and passionate throughout the entire planning process. Simcha's professionalism and dedication to her clients made this one of the most enjoyable rather than stressful experiences. Simcha did a great job of taking my ideas, however vague or confusing they may have been, and bringing them to life. I would recommend Simcha to any bride who wants to have a stress-free and enjoyable wedding experience. She is a true expert in this field.

ther of the bride having to deal with some difficult relatives. She had great ideas and when complications presented themselves came up with solutions on the fly that really worked. Even though I did a lot of advance planning myself because I wanted to, I could tell that once it got down to the weeks before the wedding I would have been a fool to try to herd all the cats myself. The evening was a joy for me because Simcha made it so, so easy and in such a pleasant and diplomatic way. I will be scheduling my next daughter's wedding around Simcha's availability. No way would I ever do a wedding without her!

rocess, to the point that I wished I'd hired her before I did anything else! Simcha's planning timeline was seamless and she always helped me keep on top of everything. Working with Simcha and her team of vendors was truly a collaborative experience that I will never forget. When we walked into our reception hall, Simcha had created a world out of our interests and experiences as a couple, and the moment is something I will treasure for a lifetime. Simcha is always personable, organized, and ready to work. We could not have asked for a kinder and more dedicated planner.

for the wedding. She then narrowed down what would have been an overwhelming list of random wedding vendors to those she felt would be a good match for both our daughter's taste and our budget. Simcha is wonderfully creative, and because of her collaborative relationships with the floral and event designers, we knew this would be anything but another cookie cutter wedding; in fact, it exceeded our expectations. And finally, Simcha was consistently responsive and reassuring whenever the bride (or her mother) had a question or concern. She is an incredibly busy event planner, yet she always made us feel like we were her only client.

it was. Simcha is truly a professional who listens to your wishes, needs and concerns. She is well respected by vendors in the event business. Multiple vendors told me how lucky I was that Simcha was my wedding planner. She is value-added in every possible way.

of my panicked texts with calming and reassuring texts. It is so obvious that she loves what she does and she is so incredibly good at what she does, from the big choices down to which plate goes with which tablecloth. We are forever grateful for her and wish we could do it all over again thanks to her!!!! We love you Simcha!!!!

tful, detail oriented, and thinks of literally EVERYTHING! Simcha and her team executed the entire wedding day perfectly. During the planning process, she was only an e-mail or phone call away and was very prompt to solve any and all concerns and problems we had. She made our wedding vision come to life, especially when we were unsure how to articulate what we wanted! She was very patient, wonderful to work with, and eliminated our anxieties throughout the process and on the wedding day! We highly recommend her to anyone considering Simcha as their wedding consultant. You will NOT be disappointed!

e for this! She was so organized and detailed in everything, and made it all seem so effortless while I know she worked her buns off! Simcha is such a personable person and very easy to get along with. She will offer suggestions and accept if you don't agree with them. Then in about 10 minutes, you realize she was right to begin with! The vendors she works with couldn't be nicer or more professional. They transformed an already gorgeous venue, into something out of a fairy tale. We never thought we would need a wedding planner, but never realized how much they actually do. We consider Simcha as our friend after all of this, and are so grateful that our friend provided us with such a magical day that we will never forget.

could choose from. All of her recommendations were first rate and wonderful! But where she really shines is on the day of the wedding. I literally did not have to think of anything beyond the walls of my bridal suite. She transformed the venue into our vision of a "summer sunset" and it was absolutely beautiful and magical. She handled every detail and I was able to just enjoy myself. I really cannot say enough about Simcha. We highly recommend her!

LY the best. Because my parents do not live in town, my husband and I needed someone who truly understood our vision and the energy we wanted our guests to experience, keep us on track in the planning process, and be able to execute what we envisioned. Simcha walked us through the entire process from beginning to end and helped us alleviate all the stress we would have if we did not have Simcha's team. Our wedding weekend turned out to be even more beautiful and special then we could ever imagined because of the team's help. We know that Simcha and her team help each couple create an experience that is completely unique and represents that couple in creative ways. The creation and execution of the timeline of the wedding day was flawless and she helped us book an unbelievable team of vendors that matched our budget needs. We can not say enough wonderful things about Simcha's Events. You truly will not be disappointed. They are so organized and always there for you! Our families, wedding party, friends and guests were able to fully enjoy the day without having to worry about anything because of Simcha and her team. Many thanks for Simcha and her team!!

endors, gives great advice, and is somehow everywhere at once.

ws exactly what she's talking about. She provided valuable direction when it came to the details of our wedding and we couldn't be more thankful. I HIGHLY recommend Simcha's Events if you're looking for a high quality wedding planner.

d just gives you the warm fuzzies. I have always been very impressed by her timelines and general professionalism in this industry. She is truly a gem to work with as a fellow Wedding vendor. Highly recommend!

nn with us is the best planning decision we made. Alix-Ann was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. She was so patient and professional and brought a wealth of expertise and knowledge for us to share. She was perfectly prepared and incredibly responsive to us and the vendors. All of the vendors were so pleased we were working with Simcha Events, as well. If you want to truly enjoy your wedding day stress free, I highly recommend Simcha events and Alix-Ann because they made everything so easy and seamless for us. Thank you!

heard about was how everything was perfect thanks to Simcha. Our day could not have been flawless without her. She protected me all day long. From questions, from stressers, from red wine and more. She put my hair piece in. She bustled my dress. She kept us on schedule. She did it all! Working with Simcha was truly a pleasure and an experience my husband and I both enjoyed. And we'd do it again in a heartbeat. Early in the process, she invited us into her home, repeatedly. Simcha saved us money on our venue contract and other contracts! She is so knowledgeable regarding the entire process and know what to ask of venues. Simcha had an open mind about vendors I wanted to see and still brought me her best in the business as well. She captured what I wanted for our day so quickly that she saved us so much time. We were always on the same page. She understood what we wanted. She treated me like a friend. She handled tough family conversations like a champ. There was no question I couldn't ask her and there was no idea that she wasn't up for tackling. If you're unsure about who to hire as a wedding planner, let me share this with you. I had 11 girls in my bridal party and all day long they watched in awe and kept saying, "SIMCHA'S GOT IT." If anyone needs to hear more about Simcha I'm happy to brag on her anytime.

d potential challenges and we made decisions preemptively. She took great care of me from pictures through the end of the evening - making sure my husband and I ate and knew where to be when. And she seemed to disappear in the crowd. I don't even think this review is strong enough for how incredible of a help and support she was for the wedding day. I am not sure I could've done it without her.

t she helped us plan a wedding in just over five months from the date we met her. And it was awesome! By way of background- my husband and I met with three different wedding planners and just were very impressed by Simcha after meeting with her. She was the middle price point of the three planners we met with for an "all inclusive" type planner. Simcha has been through this process so many times with so many couples, so she counseled us through everything. She helped us decide where it made sense to spend our money, and where it did not. Simcha thought outside of the box. We planned the ceremony in Tower Grove Park but just in some green space and she set up rental chairs and flowers near a tree for a beautiful background. We got late-night food but didn't want it to dissuade people from enjoying the live band so she asked the venue to pass the late-night food, which was BRILLIANT. These are just a couple of examples. Before the wedding day, we had just about every detail worked out. Simcha sent emails to our family and the vendors with a detailed timeline for that day. Everybody knew where they had to be and when. I had total confidence that Simcha would make everything work out, and she really did. On the wedding day, Simcha was my go-to person. My husband and I didn't get any appetizers during the cocktail hour. No problem! She had some brought to our table for us. I cut my foot on a piece of glass that the venue had not cleaned up yet. No problem! She had a very intense first aid kit and had me cleaned up with a band-aid on my foot in minutes. If anybody in my family had any doubt about Simcha's value, she more than proved herself when my dad-- the father of the groom-- discovered less than two hours before the ceremony that he forgot his tuxedo at home (out of town). When my sister told her this, her only question was, "How much does he weigh?" She had two different sized tuxes at the ceremony location before we started-- and they fit. Wedding planner is such an over-simplified title. More accurate would be: Planner- organizer- visionary- therapist- mediator- negotiator- overall boss.

veryone and navigate to a wedding that incorporated everyone's desires. The vendors that Simcha works with are all incredible. Simcha contributed with great ideas and was completely honest with all feedback which we needed. The wedding was perfect from start to finish.

mcha through some research and boy were we happy! Not only was she incredibly quick to get caught up, but she was able to take the reigns and produce a smooth, stress-free wedding weekend. She coordinated our wedding party of 27 people, contacted each vendor and even got the flower stains out of my wife's dress minutes before she walked down the aisle! My wife and I were hangry and famished after a long day of getting ready and family photos, and Simcha rescued us with food and a room to sit in. I can honestly say we would have been lost without her and we will recommend her to any and everyone we know throwing an event in the St. Louis area! Thanks Simcha and team for helping us throw the absolute perfect stress-free wedding!

planning process. She answered all of our endless questions and eased our concerns. She has such a talent for making sure your vision comes to life and not a single detail is overlooked. She provided suggestions I never would have thought about, and she made the planning process enjoyable. On the day of, we couldn't have enjoyed every moment like we did without her. She took care of every last detail and organized all parts of the day down to the minute. Using Simcha's events is the best way to enjoy your special day to the fullest without worry. I HIGHLY recommend Simcha's Events!! :)

and ideas she helped to keep us on track and come up with creative solutions. We could not have had a great day without her help and hard work, we were really able to spend the day celebrating and not worrying about every little detail. She was always responsive to all our questions (and there were a lot!) and never made us feel any question was too small to ask. I can't thank Alix Ann enough for all she did - she was wonderful to work with!

tch. Natalie feels like a part of our family now. My daughter's wedding was as important to her as it was to us.

s incredible! She came up with a unique design, keeping a modern and chic look but giving it a creative spin to make it different from anything we had seen before. Throughout the planning process, Simcha helped set up meetings with different vendors, brought the design of the evening to life, and made sure we didn't miss any little detail. She also made it so no one was stressed and we had fun with all of the planning! On the day of the wedding, none of us had to worry about a thing and Simcha made the entire experience such a pleasure. It was a day we'll always remember! Thank you so much for everything! We would recommend Simcha to anyone!

nd I am so appreciative of all that you did for our families. We have such fond memories to look back on and beautiful pictures and videos.

was with us every step of the way! Thank you so much for being a part of all of this and helping me plan the perfect wedding!! it really was better than I ever imagined it would be. I can't thank you enough for everything that you did!!

ng Simcha by my side, she made my dreams come true! I was able to give our daughter and new son the magical night that I pictured. Simcha was always upbeat, professional and just made the entire process fun! Even my husband who does not give compliments often, said Simcha did an excelled job at the day of the wedding!

xactly what kind of wedding they want and how to achieve it. From the start in planning my daughter's wedding, I felt like Simcha had our backs! She gently offered opinions when asked, but mainly she is instrumental in constructing the pieces to help us achieve a very personal and special wedding experience. Her attention to detail is dead on. She is highly respected by all the vendors and hotel staffs and they each work hard to maintain their incredible relationship with her and, as a result, become a special part all of the lucky families as well. Simcha was always kind, pleasant, available, calming, organized and loving to us throughout the whole process. We highly recommend Simcha to anyone planning their wedding. She is simply the best!!!!

for them! We debated back and forth whether we needed a planner, but in the end it was the best choice we could have made (and it was worth every penny!). They paid such great attention to detail and saw our vision and helped us bring everything to life while offering tons of great ideas, most of which we ended up using! On the day of the wedding Natalie stepped in and literally helped with EVERYTHING (flowers, bustle, veil, photography, shoes, make up, coordinated every vendor, etc.) ... but most importantly she actually cared about Josh and I and made sure that we were happy and having fun the entire night, even at the after party. She became a friend! Countless relatives and friends have since made comments to Josh and I about how dedicated Natalie was to our wedding day. She was with us from 7 am to after 1 am! We are forever grateful for Simcha's events for giving us the wedding of our dreams.

ere able to take in everything that was happening without a thought of any little hiccup. In fact, when people ask about the wedding and question if even a little something went wrong, I can honestly tell them "not a thing" because if it did, Simcha handled it. The day of the wedding, Simcha and her team took care of everything like true professionals which again let us enjoy all the aspects of our day. She is so responsive to any question or concern that may come up. We knew that we could call her for anything that came to mind. When we would ask her to look into something, she would. She always made us feel like our wedding was the only wedding she was working on and that it was going to be the best. Simcha has strong relationships with many vendors in the area. The relationships she has with each of her recommended vendors is amazing. They can bounce ideas off of each other to take them to the next creative level and together we came up with something truly uniuqe. It is obvious that she cares deeply for her clients and their events. Again, my husband, family and I could focus on each other, our friends, and our families because we knew every other aspect was taken care of. She was the fairy godmother to our magical wedding day!

he truly wanted to make our day special, creative, and unique to the two of us. She went above and beyond.... She was with us at every meeting with vendors, provided us with guidance and support, and was so flexible with making meetings work with our crazy schedules. She took our vision and made it a reality! Our wedding was not only a day we will cherish forever, but also an incredible event that our guests will forever remember! But more importantly, Simcha is so genuine, kind, and loves what she does!!!! Thank you so much Simcha for every thing!!! XO Maggie & Andrew

d flexibility. Simcha takes care of every detail in an efficient, effective manor. She answered every question we had via phone or email in a very timely manner. She respected our budget and always found ways to work within it with vendors. And, she is a genuinely nice person. The wedding ceremony and reception were flawless and that was due to Simcha's advice and efforts. We highly recommend her.

the best vendors in town and was always incredibly prompt. Her bubbly personality made it fun to work with her as well. She brings many years of experience and kept our stress levels minimal. We were stress free the day of our wedding and had the best time of our lives. We could not have done this without Simcha and her staff. We highly recommend Simcha's Events!

every detail is perfect! She helps make the entire planning experience exciting and stress free, and executes flawlessly. I would highly recommend Simcha's services!

he has such great creativity and attention to detail. After explaining my vision for our wedding, Simcha was constantly coming up with ideas of how we can set our wedding apart from everyone else's. I never once had to worry that things would not go according to plan. She had a very detailed schedule of what needed to be done when, and I could count on her to make sure the vendors knew exactly what to do. I have heard horror stories of brides planning their weddings; however, with Simcha, it was such an enjoyable task. Not only is Simcha a wonderful planner, but she truly goes the extra mile to get to know her clients on a personal level and make them feel special. This makes such a difference, especially on your wedding day. She feels like a member of your family. At our rehearsal, Simcha was amazing with getting everyone's attention and making sure they knew what to do. She even has an incredible talent to get young children to do things. The day of is when Simcha really shines. She came bright and early ready to get the day moving. She took such great care of me, making sure I drank enough water, constantly asking if I was comfortable in my shoes, and even holding a fan under my dress for outdoor photos. Throughout the night she was always making sure we were having the time of our lives and didn't need anything. She even had her team get some TUMS for me. Our wedding went off without a hitch, or at least that I know of. She keeps everything extremely under control and never lets you know if anything even has gone wrong. My husband and I were able to be guests at our wedding and enjoy every minute of it. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Simcha and her team. I would 110% recommend her to anyone who is looking for the most qualified wedding planner with amazing charisma and talent. Our wedding was truly a fairy tale and everything that I could have dreamed of and more. I am going to miss working with her.

ould highly recommend her!!!

jump right into wedding planning following my engagement. I feared dreading such a precious chapter of my life. All of that changed when I crossed paths with Simcha. She made what seemed like an overwhelming task extremely manageable. During my nine months of planning, I was never stressed or worried, nor did I have to deal with any dilemmas. Even better, she made it fun. Yes, my fiancé and I actually enjoyed planning our special day. I couldn’t believe it, and I certainly treasured every moment. One of the many things that sets Simcha apart is that from the beginning, she dedicated so much time getting to know us as a couple. She was on a sincere mission to understand what made us unique, what made us different from other couples, so that our wedding day truly reflected us. Despite a busy schedule and a family, she would make time just to meet us and hang out. This allowed us to form a great friendship and develop a lot of trust in each other. In addition, she was able to get a good understanding of our budget, so money conversations were never awkward or difficult. I am not sure how she was able to do it, but we truly felt like our wedding was the only thing she had going on at the time. When in reality, she had a lot of weddings. She is just that genuine and that good! Simcha always had the perfect suggestions for the flow of our wedding day. One of my favorites was after my husband and I were introduced at the reception, we went right into our first dance. After that, we invited everyone to join us on the dance floor for a few songs before dinner. What a hit that was! It made everyone feel comfortable about dancing, so they were right back on the dance floor after dinner and speeches. That was important to us, especially my husband. He loves to dance. We never would have thought of this, but our wedding planner “listened” to the fact that we really wanted everyone to enjoy our band and dance. I cannot tell you how many people have told me how neat and different it was that we did this. To this day, I am so impressed with the strong relationships Simcha has with numerous vendors, from venues to bakeries to photographers and florists. She knows an impressive number of people in the wedding industry. It was obvious they all have the utmost respect for our wedding planner, which made the process much easier for us. If I heard it once, I heard it a million times……“What would we do without our wedding planner?” Not only did she lovingly guide us through every step of the wedding planning process, she is the reason my entire family, especially my husband and I, was able to enjoy every minute of our wedding day. No one worried. No one stressed. With a big smile on her face, our wedding planner took care of everything. My wedding was magical. It was everything I wanted it to be and more. As I look back on all of it, the first thing I say is, “What would I have done without our wedding planner?” Simcha is the best, and lucky for me, she is now a special friend. I cannot thank her enough for making this precious chapter of my life so incredibly wonderful. Claire Kellett

quickly realized how overwhelming wedding planning can be. Then came Simcha. Simcha broke everything down into lists which really helped illustrate the kinds of things we needed to consider. She pointed out aspects we never would have considered otherwise. What makes her so good? She's professional, assertive, well connected, and most importantly, well respected. Almost everyone has heard of her and for good reason. We also owe finding our spectacular venue to her. She took us to a variety of locales with varying styles. And as it turned out, we fell in love with a place that we would not have even considered without her. Simcha took the time to really figure out what we wanted. To accomplish this task, she asked us all the right questions. She got us thinking outside of our stubbornly positioned boxes. She provided suggestions that guided us to our perfect wedding without being forceful or argumentative. To put it simply, our day would not have come close to the perfection that it was without her. I could not imagine going through the process alone without her genius recommendations. Additionally, while each of the aforementioned facts are vital, it is important not to overlook the fact that Simcha is just an amazing person. She is incredibly kind, personable, and funny. Each of these characteristics add up to create a phenomenal wedding planner. With her guidance, our perfect wedding day was realized.

th all the vendors in the area. She had phenomenal suggestions but did a great job personalizing our wedding to fit our personalities. I cannot stress how great of a job she did. She took all the stress/anxiety off the bride so I was able to just sit back and enjoy the whole weekend. I am going to miss not emailing with her every week!

location and then realized it would not successfully work for the reception we wanted. Already we were in trouble the first week of planning and knew we needed help. Simcha was highly recommended as THE one to use. After meeting and carefully listening to what we were hoping to achieve, Simcha quickly arranges for us to met and select all the best vendors to turn our wishes into reality. With so many options available and decisions to make in planning a wedding, she was invaluable in saving us time, energy, and money while guiding us always in the right directions. It was wonderful to know that all deadlines were being met, contracts signed, deposits paid and the many details under control during the eleven month time. In the last weeks before the wedding day, we could relax knowing that Simcha and her team were covering things for us. The day of the wedding, everything down to the smallest detail was handled by them. It all went exactly as planned, and we were free to focus on the joy of our marriage and celebrate with friends and family. In addition to Simcha's professional expertise and talents, she is a genuinely warm and caring person. She was always positive and upbeat with a fun sense of humor - just great in every way.

nner and my parents heard that she was the best in St. Louis. I thought it was going to be a challenge since I live in Chicago, but within the first week of being engaged we already nailed down a venue and a band. In weeks to follow we had appointments to talk with florists, bakeries, invitation designers, and photographers. She has amazing relationships with multiple vendors. Simcha takes care of each and every task from the moment you first meet with her until the wedding is over. She emails all vendors, family members, and the wedding party a couple weeks before the wedding informing everyone of all the details. At our last meeting she actually made a detailed schedule of the wedding day and walked us through what was suppose to happen at what time to make sure nothing was left out. Everything really did go exactly as planned. Simcha is one of the most organized, detail-oriented, and creative people I know. She is also very responsive so if you have any questions, concerns, or panic attacks she will ease your mind right away. I loved working with her and I am so happy to say that I enjoyed every minute of wedding planning because she made it so fun and stress free. She is truly one of a kind and I don't know what we would have done without her. Thanks to Simcha my wedding turned out better than I could have ever imagined.

feel like our wedding was the only wedding she were working on and that it was going to be the best. Consistently bringing a sense of calm to this process allowed us to not lose sight of what was important. Working with Simcha was such a pleasure and really allowed us to enjoy the wedding planning process. Knowing that Simcha was there, attending to details that I probably didn’t even know existed provided me such a sense of security and allowed me to truly relax and soak in the day. We feel truly fortunate to have been able to plan our wedding with Simcha and her incredible team!
