Love Notes
"We are so grateful to have such amazing couples. From day one we get to learn all about their love story and the overall hopes for wedding day. Sometimes we work for a year + to maybe just a few months. No matter the amount of time we get with our couples, we truly cherish every moment we have with them to plan out their beautiful and unique wedding day. Here are some kind words expressing the same gratitude they have from working with us on their big day! " - Kelsey (Owner /Lead Planner)

I wasn’t sure how I was going to be on the morning of my wedding, but I felt no stress whatsoever! Even my bridesmaids made comments about how they did not expect me to be this calm the morning of. I have to credit my calmness to Kelsey with Simply Enchanted Events and her entire team! I had full confidence that Kelsey and her team were going to execute the plan we had reviewed so many times together. My ceremony was at a Catholic Church, and while the ceremony was happening, Kelsey and her team were setting up the reception space. They handled everything including setting up the decor, managing day of vendor deliveries, our bubble exit, coordinating with all vendors beforehand so they each had a copy of the most recent wedding timeline, and so much more. Kelsey even reached out to the maid of honor and best man the morning of to make sure we were on track. Hiring Kelsey at Simply Enchanted Events is a necessity if you want a stress-free day!

We loved working with Kelsey since day one. She always took the time to listen to us. We have no words to describe the amazing person and planner she is. She made sure we had the perfect vendors for all our needs and yes, she was right in every single person she recommended to work with us at the wedding. Our wedding was beyond perfect. She made everything so easy for us. We never stressed out because she took care of everything and was always very supportive. I will recommend them 200% all over again. Thank you Kelsey from the bottom of our heart to make sure we had the wedding we always dreamed. We loved working with you.

Hiring Kelsey to plan our wedding was the best decision we made during this process. Not only was she detailed oriented, she provided us with so much help over the year and a half of planning. I highly encourage Kelsey's assistance throughout this process. She made our wedding day seamless and easy. No setbacks during the day, and everything looked beautiful. We really appreciate all the help Kelsey provided, as anyone who has planned a wedding a stressful time. For all of your coordinating needs Kelsey is the way to go!!

I highly recommend Kelsey with Simply Enchanted Events for all of your wedding planning needs. Her communication is AMAZING. She was always available whether by text, email, or phone and every few months she would send out a different checklist with what needed to be done. About 3 months before our wedding, we had a major setback with our caterer and had to decide to go a different way. Kelsey stepped up to the plate and helped us find a new caterer immediately (all during the holidays too!) She was there every step of the way and I knew my wedding day wouldn’t have gone as smooth as it did without her.

I can't imagine what my wedding day would've looked like without Kelsey and her amazing team. Because of Simply Enchanted Events my whole wedding was practically STRESS-FREE! From the minute we started planning to the day of our event, I felt so supported and understood. Kelsey went over and above to answer my questions, reach out to vendors, and keep my family in line on the wedding day. I'm so grateful for Kelsey and Kayla for making our wedding day such a breeze!

Kelsey was an absolute dream to work with. We brought her on board at the end of our wedding planning and I am SO thankful we made that choice. She was the last finishing touch to make our night incredible. Our wedding was everything we could’ve ever asked for and Kelsey not only finished planning everything for us and kept me on schedule, she made our day run smoothly and handled any bumps like a true professional. I didn’t have one single worry the day of our wedding. Kelsey is a must have for any bride! Don’t look any further! Thank you Kelsey for your amazing hard work!

Kelsey was right beside me thorough the entire process! She answered all of my questions and aided me and my husband tremendously when picking and communicating with all of our vendors. Due the the fact that my venue was out of town (Charleston, SC) I felt so lost when the progress began of selecting all of the vendors. But Kelsey stepped right up and was quick to help us narrow down our choices. From the get go I felt a connection to Kelsey and new that she was our perfect match! She was thorough during the entire planning progress and I always felt comfortable reaching out. 100% would recommend Kelsey to anyone planning a wedding! Amazing!!

Kelsey was awesome! We hired her for the partial planning package, which was exactly what we needed. She was always available via text, phone, or email to answer questions. On top of everything for vendor meetings. There were plenty of things we weren’t even thinking about that she would suggest to make the day that much better. She kept us so calm and on schedule on wedding day, everything went smoothly! We would definitely recommend her services to anyone we know getting married.

There are so many things I could say about Kelsey & Simply Enchanted Events, but I’ll try to keep it short, sweet, and to the point. I truly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding day! Kelsey was a key asset to keeping my husband and I on track for the almost 18 months we were engaged, keeping our timeline in order, answering questions I had about pretty much ANYTHING wedding related, and overall being a great support - especially on our wedding day! Everything was set up how I envisioned it would be, Kelsey took over and ensured things went according to plan, and if anything came up, she was there to resolve it so I wouldn’t have to worry or stress over anything. Kelsey’s attention to detail really helped lift all the stress I had off of my shoulders, and I couldn't be more thankful to have had her guide my husband and I from start to finish. I highly recommend working with Kelsey and the Simply Enchanted Events team to help make your day a much more enjoyable one🖤 Thank you, Kelsey!

I don't even know where to start. Hiring Kelsey for my wedding planning process was the best choice I could have made for my big day!! From her monthly checklists to her being there day-of made this overwhelming process not so bad. She was always just a text away and answered in a snap! Kelsey is so organized and everything you want your wedding planner to be! I got married at Margaritaville, a venue she has been to multiple times, and knowing she knew the space so well and the sales manager there, helped ease the thousands of questions in my head. I cannot recommend and thank Kelsey enough for all of the work she has put into my wedding!!!

I cannot say enough about Kelsey and her assistant Kayla. They were beyond amazing and made all of my dreams come true. From the moment I first spoke with her until the end of my wedding, everything was perfect and seamless. She took away all of the work for my husband and I and everything turned out perfect. From set up to take down her and her team handled it all. Having a destination wedding was stressful enough but she made everything just perfect and stress-free. I would recommend them in a heartbeat and hope to work with them one day in the future!

1 weekend, 2 weddings, double reception
I had the pleasure of planning my son’s wedding and my daughter’s wedding the next day. Sounds stressful? You bet! But getting Kelsey, from Simply Enchanted as our Wedding Day Of Coordinator, took a lot of the stress away from us. From the moment we signed her, she has been very professional, and on point. She checked in constantly , and was always quick to respond to any concerns or question we have. She coordinated with all our other vendors the details that could have easily been overlooked so we did not have to worry about that. She offered valuable resources and suggestions that was very helpful. Having her, made us truly enjoy the process of planning the 2 weddings one day after another and the double reception!!! And on the day, everything was flawless. Will I do it again, only if I have Kelsey on board !

Hiring Kelsey to plan the entire wedding was the best decision. She knows her job and made our dream wedding come true. She took the ideas and put them together perfectly. She was available for every question, reacted empathetically and sensitively in stressful, overwhelming moments. Before we decided on a wedding planner, we didn't realize the extent of what needs to be planned for a wedding. Now, looking back, we're even happier that we chose Kelsey.

Words cannot describe how amazing Kelsey was throughout our whole wedding planning! Right from the start she was super organized and helped us remain on schedule. Kelsey would check in on us every month to make sure we were following her check list (super helpful) and if we needed her she was always available. She left my husband and I absolutely speechless on the day of our wedding! Very professional! She exceeded our expectations. During the wedding, she was so attentive and made everything run by SOOO smoothly! If an issue came up, she would handle it like such a champ!! Any girl would be so lucky and blessed to have her at their wedding ♥️

The day that I was the least stressed during wedding planning was my actual wedding day because of Kelsey at Simply Enchanted Events! I trusted that she would execute the plan we reviewed together, so my family and I got to actually enjoy every second of the big day. She handled everything from setting up all of the decor, timing the ceremony around an approaching rain shower, and fluffing my veil as my dad walked me down the aisle. Hiring Kelsey is definitely a must if you want to feel like a guest at your own wedding! Thank you Kelsey!

We had a great experience with Simply Enchanted Events! Kelsey was very easy to work with and responsive throughout the whole planning process. She was personable, professional, and provided great timeline reference tools to help keep us on track. As a couple that wanted a small wedding, and opted to contract a lot of separate vendors for each piece, her assistance with keeping everything on track and coordinating all of the details day of was exactly what we needed.

We hired Kelsey when we realized that pulling off a wedding on a paddle boat was going to be difficult. The communication with her before the wedding was amazing. She listened to every detail and vision we had for our day and also helped guide us when we we needed help. Our wedding day was beautiful and enchanting and even more than we dreamed of. Kelsey was there to make sure everything was in place and she was there with us every second of our wedding to make sure every detail was perfect. She is sweet, patient and always has the best way of approaching everything. Our guest and family loved Kelsey and speak of how amazing they thought our wedding was. We would highly recommend her for your wedding planning and wedding day!

We hired Kelsey as our partial planner for our wedding. She was always there to answer any questions I had and give her honest opinions on everything. Kelsey attended some meetings with our vendors so she could be on the same page as us. She knew exactly the theme/vibe of our wedding and made sure that it was executed properly with all of our vendors. On our big day, everything ran SO smoothly and was better than we could’ve ever imagined. Thank you Kelsey for an unforgettable day! :)

Kelsey was an amazing wedding planner and day of coordinator. She is level-headed, organized, sweet, and easy to get along with. She helped us find our vendors and finalize final decoration details, sent us check lists to keep us moving along and so much more. During the day of the event I knew I could count on her to keep things moving and get things set up the way we had envisioned. We had a heavy DIY set up with over 100 floating candles which she had to fill with water and light with many other decorations to set up in addition to keeping other vendors moving. I would 100% recommend her!

Kelsey with Simply Enchanted Events made our wedding day more than we could have imagined. She was the perfect combination of creative, easy going and detail oriented. She was involved in every detail and at the same time took our vision to heart. She never made us feel overwhelmed or as if she couldn't work with our requests. She was our go to on our wedding day and I truly could not recommend her more whole heartedly to any couple!

One thing is for sure, I could not have pulled our wedding off without Kelsey. She is AWESOME! Most of our guests told me how exceptional our wedding was and that every detail of our wedding was off the charts. I owe that all to Kelsey. Kelsey's focus on details was top-notch. I highly recommend Kelsy and Simply Enchanted Events for your next affair.

Best decision ever! A couple of months into planning my daughter Nicole's wedding, we both agreed we needed help!! Nicole met Kelsey when Kelsey worked at Mission Inn as an event coordinator, and after reaching out to her, we found out that Kelsey had started her own wedding planning business! We thought it was important to support a local, up and coming business and Nicole could vouch for Kelsey's work ethic and professionalism through Mission Inn. Someone we could trust! From there on out, we went from panic mode to enjoying every moment of the planning with Kelsey! I can't say enough good things about Simply Enchanted Events. Kelsey took care of everything from A to Z and then some!! We were on a budget and she was very attentive to that. Kelsey was very professional and after our initial meeting she emailed us a timeline of everything that needed to be done and the dates that the tasks needed to be done by. She made it seem so easy, but Nicole and I learned very quickly on our own, that planning a wedding is far from easy! She scoured vendors that were within our budget and came up with at least 3 from each category that she personally thought would work best for us. All we had to do was go over the information she collected on each vendor and make a decision. Kelsey was always a phone call or text away to answer any questions, give helpful hints, or help with concerns we had. Kelsey also has a very calming personality and that was extremely helpful to me at times. I'm not very computer savvy and she was super helpful for me when it came to email document signing, scanning, etc.... Nicole and I felt like Kelsey cared about the wedding as much as we did and that is priceless! The wedding was beautiful and flawless, even with the tropical storm that came through that day! Kelsey, we can't thank you enough for all of your hard work and dedication that went into making Pat and Nicole's wedding perfect! I can confidently say that if you choose Simply Enchanted Events that you will not be disappointed!

Simply Enchanted Events is excellent! Kelsey made sure that the planning process and our big day was stress free, fun and unforgettable. I would recommend her to all. From start to finish she was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, professional and so much fun to work with. She made sense of all of the what-ifs and questions I had so I didn’t have to worry about anything. She coordinated with all of the vendors to ensure our day went on without a hitch and it absolutely did. Kelsey was there to support me, my wedding party, and family throughout the entire day and the entire process. We were so grateful to have her professional eye, opinion and her compassion and support throughout. I felt very lucky to have her and we don't know what we would have done without her!

After becoming so overwhelmed with wedding preparations at the age of 60, I hired Kelsey (by way of a Wedding Wire referral) approximately 6 weeks prior to my wedding date of May 15, 2021. I worked full time and I completely underestimated all that goes into the preparing for a wedding, no matter how big or small it is. While our wedding was small (34 including my husband & I), we knew we wanted it to be classic, beautiful & memorable. I knew as soon as I spoke to Kelsey on the phone, that I wanted to hire her as my wedding planner. Her experience shines through when you are speaking to her; yet she listens to what your thoughts and concerns are, as well. Kelsey & I first met at my venue to discuss wedding details. She came with her laptop and typed in as we discussed everything from color palettes to my vision to a proposed budget. After the meeting, she sent me a summary of what she was going to get started working on and kept in constant communication with me. I would advise any couple who gets married to filter in a wedding planner to their budget. So often in today’s world, we think we can handle “it.all.” Then, you set forth to plan your wedding and you realize, the process is bigger than you. For me, Kelsey brought experience, organization & structure to my life in planning this wedding. I also found her to be such a calming and positive influence through this process. She was an excellent communicator, not only with me, but with the vendors; she has clearly fostered solid relationships over the years with the vendors in the industry. On a final note, my wedding was beautiful, magical and amazing because I hired someone that clearly cared about making my day as special for me, as I did myself. I would say that if you have the opportunity to hire Simple Enchanted Events/Kelsey Balmer, I would highly recommend you do so. You will be so happy that you did.

I booked Kelsey as a month of coordinator, but was fortunate enough to have her guidance all throughout the process of wedding planning. When I felt overwhelmed, Kelsey was so reassuring and made me feel at ease about all the details that go into wedding planning. I would send her the most random questions, all in one lengthy email, completely all over the place, and at the most random time of the night/morning LOL but Kelsey always responded in a timely manner with all questions answered, and always so nice and understanding! It was so nice to be able to fully trust without a doubt that she had everything under control. Her taking over the month of the wedding allowed me to be able to actually enjoy that time vs running around all stressed out, trying to iron out the remaining little details. The day of the wedding, Kelsey was attentive but also so discrete and absolutely running the show behind the scenes. She never interfered but was always right there if needed. She kept things going as scheduled to make it the most fun and enjoyable day and night. My wedding was absolutely perfect and by far the best day of my life. It would not have been the same without Kelsey! For someone (me) who can be OCD and very detail oriented, Kelsey made it an easy process to let go and have FUN! I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Kelsey for being my go to girl!!
