Hello! My name is Kelsey Johnson and I am the owner of Simply Enchanted Events. I am a true Florida girl, born and raised in the beautiful city of West Palm Beach. After growing up in South Florida, I became an Eagle and pursued my Bachelors Degree in Resort and Hospitality Management at Florida Gulf Coast University. During my college career, I had the privilege of becoming a member of the Chi Omega Fraternity, planning social events and connecting with amazing women. After about six years of living in Fort Myers, I followed my heart and made the move to Central Florida to be with, my now husband, Dj. ​
​
​I love cuddling with my little Corgis, Jasper + Charlie, while watching rom-coms or true crime TV shows on Netflix. I am a “Swiftie” but also love rock and heavy metal bands like Falling In Reverse! My husband and I love going to all the rock shows and enjoy venturing out to the Orlando theme parks on our days off together!
​
I became a Certified Wedding Planner back in 2015 while working as a Hotel Catering Sales Manager. After working in hotels and resorts for 8 years, I knew it was time to branch out and open Simply Enchanted Events!
​
Being the Owner of this amazing company truly feels like a dream every day. I absolutely love what I do and it shows through our work. I cannot wait to learn all about you and your wedding day. Let's make your vision a reality!

Hi future couples,
My name is Kayla Plante, and I am a Lead Planner for Simply Enchanted Events. I am originally from Hollywood, FL and moved to Orlando to pursue my Bachelors Degree at in Hospitality Management at University of Central Florida. During my college career, I started working with Kelsey and discovered my passion for wedding planning. In 2022, I became a Certified Wedding Planner and became a Lead Planner for Simply Enchanted Events in 2023! Over the past two years, I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Kelsey and immersing myself in everything related to weddings.
In my free time, you may see me at the beach, soaking up the sun or building Legos, while watching movies that correlate to the set I am building! I can never say no to a good road trip to Dania Beach and visit all my family and friends in South Florida.
I cannot wait to meet all the amazing couples out there and make your dreams come true with the most special day ever!

Hello! My name is Ashley Babbit and I am one of the Lead Planners here at Simply Enchanted Events! I’ve been working with Kelsey since May of 2024 and even hired her to plan my wedding in June of 2024!
I grew up in West Fargo, North Dakota and started my college journey at North Dakota State University. I decided to finish my degree at the University of Central Florida’s Rosen College of Hospitality Management, and received a Bachelor's Degree in Event Management in 2020. While in school at UCF, I was the president of the Association of Bridal Consultants student chapter (now Wedding and Event Design Students) as well as a member of the Rosen College Leadership Council, and many other clubs. During this time I even became a Certified Wedding and Events Planner and Designer through the Certified Wedding Planner Society (formally The Bridal Society) in 2019. I also worked at multiple different venues and planning companies throughout my college career and the years after, which all lead me here!
Currently, I volunteer on the Rosen College Alumni Board as their Events Committee Chair and I serve as the Social Media Chairperson for my church council. In my free time, I love talking about weddings, watching movies about weddings, and dreaming of planning another wedding for my husband and I! Fun fact, my husband and I met line dancing so we go out and listen to country music and swing dance any chance we get. We also love to travel and hope to make it to all 50 states one day!
Weddings have always been my passion and I couldn’t imagine myself doing any other job! It’s so rewarding to hear my couples say that I relieved so much of their stress by guiding them through the process, and made their wedding dreams come to life!
