Simply-Si Weddings & Events; This is Saskia and Ivan, and in this article we would like to give you an insight into why planning your wedding with a wedding planner brings added value and significant advantages for you.

Every couple is unique - with different tastes, preferences and individual values. These are some of the reasons why there are so many different wedding styles.

Planning a wedding, down to the smallest detail, requires the appropriate expertise and a great deal of commitment to ensure that everything comes together smoothly on the wedding day. As experienced wedding and event planning professionals, we make sure that everything goes as planned. We know how to plan, coordinate and manage every aspect and detail. We also take care of the design and styling according to your wishes and are always on hand to advise you.

The challenges are all the more complex when it comes to a wedding abroad; a so-called destination wedding.

Therefore, regardless of where you are getting married, one of our main concerns is to understand your needs and the vision of your unique day. Our easy-to-follow guide will give you an insight into our expertise, professionalism and the added value of our experience.

The vision of your wedding

Perhaps the question about the vision you have of your wedding is not the first one you expect. For us, however, it is one of the most important. It is crucial to understand what your wishes, visions and ideas are for your big day, because this forms the basis for the success of the entire wedding planning and beyond.

This is the basis for our collaboration, which encompasses everything from the desired atmosphere to the colour scheme and every single detail. We call it "the look and feel". We want to make sure that your wedding not only meets our high and quality-conscious standards, but also fulfils your personal ideas and dreams from the very beginning.

For this reason, we encourage our brides and grooms to create a collection of images and items that reflect their individual preferences and unique connection as a couple right from the start. Whether it's favourite colours, special textures, dream holiday locations, wardrobe choices or the style of the engagement ring - all these details give us an insight into the couple's very personal environment and authenticity. We attach great importance to getting to know the uniqueness of our couples on every level.

Emotion, Environment and Experience.

Which emotions do you want to evoke on your big day? What kind of environment do you want to create and what kind of experience do you want for yourself and your guests? These questions form the starting point for us to understand your vision and make your wedding something very special.

It's not just a question of planning; it's about creating the atmosphere that reflects your love and personality. Your wedding should be more than just an event - it should be a living narrative of your love story.

By exploring these questions together, we can not only identify your priorities, but also determine the ideal investment for your individual wishes and needs. In this way, your wedding will not only be a celebration, but an unforgettable experience that captures the uniqueness of your love and your journey into the future together.

The planning

Organising a wedding is time-consuming, regardless of whether you are getting married at home or abroad. While it's easy to collect ideas from Instagram, Pinterest and the like, it takes time and patience to customise them to your individual wishes and style. We make this process easier and significantly reduce the amount of time you would otherwise have to spend researching and selecting service providers. We take care of all communication and coordination with the various parties. Especially for a destination wedding, our wedding planning services are invaluable, as they add the factor of language, local knowledge and knowledge of customs and traditions. And this goes beyond the afternoon cappuccino in Italy.

We take care of all the details for you, freeing up your time to focus on other aspects of your wedding. Our goal is to guide you through the entire planning process so that you can enjoy the wedding preparations to the fullest and focus on the anticipation of your big day. Working with us will ensure that all logistical challenges are overcome so that you can fully concentrate on the beautiful and meaningful moments of your wedding.

The budget

With our understanding of your unique vision and clear priorities, we strive to optimise your budget throughout the wedding planning process. Our main focus is to ensure that every expense adds real value to your dream wedding. This includes the careful selection of floral decorations, the flexible use and reuse of décor items and consideration to avoid certain elements that do not fit seamlessly into the overall concept of your wedding.

We make you aware of potential financial challenges at an early stage and present creative alternatives. By continuously reviewing and adjusting the budget throughout the wedding planning process, we ensure financial efficiency and prevent unnecessary waste of resources. In this way, we enable smooth and well-organised planning with thoughtful budget management. We ensure that every aspect of your celebration reflects your unique and personal vision.

Our network

Each season, we expand our network of first-class service providers both at home and abroad. This brings clear benefits for you, as we can offer customised proposals that are precisely tailored to your individual vision. By constantly expanding our portfolio of service providers, we not only keep our finger on the pulse of new trends, but also make valuable connections with up-and-coming suppliers/service providers. We know the best pastry chefs for irresistible cakes and the DJs who will strike the perfect note for your musical tastes. At the same time, we keep an eye on market prices to ensure that our suggestions not only meet your expectations, but also ensure a budget-friendly selection. This approach enables us to realise your wishes efficiently and to a high standard.

Trends/Ideas/Creativity

We are constantly up to date with the latest developments and trends in the wedding industry. Our aim is to seamlessly integrate the trends that best suit you into your wedding concept and your individual ideas. With our rich pool of ideas and creativity, we not only offer ideas, but also implement concrete proposals to realise the vision you have of your wedding; the way you have always dreamed of it.

Family/Friends - Stress minimisation

Are you losing sleep over the constant advice from half your circle of friends and mothers-in-law when planning your wedding? Worrying that not everything will go as planned can be unsettling. What if the strap on the maid of honour's dress rips on the day of the wedding (Ivan is a tailor - so no problem) or the groom has forgotten his cufflinks? We know what to do when such challenges arise. We are always attentive on the wedding day and solve unforeseen problems quietly - and sometimes with a needle and thread.

Thanks to our support, the stress level for you, the groomsmen and all guests is significantly reduced both during the planning in advance and on the day of your wedding.

Wedding day management

On the day of your wedding, you undoubtedly want to avoid any stress caused by service provider problems. The idea of having to deal with organisational details such as an extension cable for the photobooth is certainly not something you want to think about. The role of the contact person who keeps track of everything should not rest on your shoulders on such an important day. Our job is to relieve you of these background tasks without you even realising it.

We take over the coordination for the entire day. Service providers and all those involved are informed by us in detail and receive a precise daily schedule, which we call a storybook. We are available as a permanent point of contact for both the service providers and the entire wedding party. This comprehensive support allows you to act as a relaxed host of your own wedding right from the start and relax completely on the day itself without having to worry about anything.

Our professional support allows you to enjoy every moment to the full, while we ensure everything runs smoothly in the background. With our care, your wedding will be an unforgettable experience without you having to worry about the organisational details.

Emergency management

Even if you as the bride and groom don't like to think that something could go wrong, we as your wedding planner think about it in advance and always have a plan at hand. At every wedding, no matter where it takes place, unforeseen difficulties can arise. Thanks to our experience, we are able to react quickly and effectively to such situations. We always have a backup plan ready and implement alternative solutions immediately to ensure that your wedding runs smoothly.
