Hiring the SEG was one of the best decisions we made. We worked with Brenda Chavez who was an absolute pleasure to work with. Brenda made all our dreams come to life. She was easy to communicate with and truly listened to all of our needs and wishes. She was truly someone we could rely on during the months leading up to our wedding day. On the day of our wedding, she ensured our entire day flowed perfectly. We were able to enjoy our day without worrying about out all the behind the scene logistics. The wedding workbook provided by the SEG was super helpful. We’re so grateful and it is a no brainer to recommend their services! - A & D

We can’t say enough wonderful things about working with Rabia Hamidani and The Simply Elegant Group! We chose their partial planning package and worked with Rabia for about seven months leading up to our wedding, and she was absolutely incredible every step of the way. From day one, Rabia was kind, organized, and genuinely invested in helping us create the wedding we envisioned. We had a multi-cultural wedding with 2 ceremonies: Indian (Hindu) and Western. She helped us find amazing vendors who fit both our style and budget, and she was always flexible with meeting times since we were planning from out of state. She was also incredibly responsive to our emails, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We also always felt that Rabia had our backs and looked out for our interests when choosing and working with a variety of vendors. When unexpected rain forecast forced us to move our ceremonies indoors at the last minute, Rabia handled everything with such calm professionalism, coordinating seamlessly with all the vendors so that the transition felt effortless and beautiful. Beyond Rabia’s amazing support, The Simply Elegant Group offers a wealth of planning resources that really helped us stay organized and on track throughout the process. We’re so grateful for Rabia’s patience, guidance, and thoughtfulness. Thanks to her and her assistant (Anna), we were able to fully enjoy our wedding weekend knowing everything was under control. We highly recommend Rabia and the Simply Elegant team to anyone looking for a planner in the Chicagoland area who is warm, detail-oriented, and truly dedicated to making your day perfect!

We are so grateful we had Grace from The Simply Elegant Group as our day of coordinator. From the month leading up to the wedding, she was incredibly helpful by taking charge of vendor correspondence. Their wedding workbook helped me stay in the know and organized. On the day of, Grace took charge by handling every detail behind the scenes so we could fully enjoy the moment. One detail included tying the groomsmen’s bowties herself! We couldn’t have done it without her. I highly recommended hiring this group!

At first I was hesistant to hire a month of coordinator, I'm very organized and was loving the planning process so I wasn't sure it would be worth it. I can't believe I ever thought I could do without! As soon as I began working with Jess my planning process went from fun to incredible. She managed the little last minute details while I could enjoy the days leading up to our wedding. She helped me make decisions when I asked for help, but always supported me and never pressured me to do anything a certain way. She handled last minute changes to our ceremony and a rainy day shift like a champ. She was super positive, kind, and organized. Our wedding was perfect! Even my other guests and vendors were complimenting me on her! Working with SEG was great as well, they made booking and payment easy and checked in with us directly throughout the process. I can't recommend them enough.

I highly recommend working with The Simply Elegant Group! We first met with Lindsay when we initially signed the contract. She walked us through all the details and created us a wedding workbook that was so helpful for creating a detailed checklist. We choose the 60 day planner and that's when the Lead Planner started Alex and she was absolutely amazing to work with! She was very professional but also super fun. She kept the day of the wedding running smoothly and everything turned out perfect. Her timelines were very detailed and easy to follow. We loved working with this group and will recommend them to our friends in the area.
