Reviews for Simple Weddings
GUEST




A "5" for flexibility is an understatement! Simple Weddings went above and beyond to give us a beautiful beach wedding despite a storm that ruined the entire wedding setup one hour before the ceremony was supposed to start. They truly care about each of their weddings, and they did a fantastic job!
GUEST




The Simple Weddings Crew provided us a with a perfect beach wedding! Everything was planned and conducted professionally, the coordinators were welcoming and very easy to work with. We LOVED the photographer! Claudette was fantastic! And Jeff, the officiant, worked with us to get us the wedding we had envisioned! The family is still talking about how nicely everything was done! Thanks so much!

The Simple Weddings crew made our wedding day the most amazing day imaginable. Having never met with any of them, b/c my husband and I were stationed in Germany, everything was more perfect than we could have dreamed. Everything from the ceremony to the decorations was simply nothing short of amazing!! They were professional, friendly, and creative.

Simple weddings was such a great company perfect for what we wanted. Claire and Jeff are great. We gave Jeff a ceremony that he has never done and he did such a great job you would think that hes done tons of them. Claire never stopped taking pictures and they were great photos. Christine was very helpful throughout the whole planning. Kelly was our coordinator for the day and she was great, helpful , and very excited about our day. The most important thing for me was that everyone was excited about our day and that we were not just another job and simple weddings did a wonderful job with that.
GUEST




My husband and I decided to have Simple Weddings take care of our wedding plans for us because it was a second marriage for both of us and we wanted something simple yet beautiful for our small wedding.
I was absolutely thrilled by Simple Weddings. Each person involved from the wedding planner, the musician, officiant, photographer to the set up crew were wonderful. They were so professional, friendly, prompt and really put me at ease when I was nervous about the weather. Even though it was an extremely windy day they were able to secure the bamboo canopy and everything was perfect.
Our photographer, Claudette, was simply amazing. She took the most beautiful pictures, was laughing and having fun with us and really helped to make the day very special. In fact, I plan to have her take pictures of our family in the future.
I would highly recommend Simple Weddings. I had no stress when planning my wedding because they handled everything for me.

My husband and I were married on North Clearwater beach at a very remote location. We chose this spot because this is the exact location we shared our first kiss . We were worried the wedding provider we chose would not be able to accommodate our request as it was a little out of the norm location wise. Jeff Copeland and his team with Simple Weddings made our dream a reality. We chose a beach theme wedding because we both love the beach, and plan on building our future at or near the beach, we provided our own vows, and decided to have no one else present – other than the 2 of us, the officiant, and the photographer. Our wedding was our Perfect Day! Everything from the first call, to the officiant, photographer, weather, location and atmosphere, made our ceremony special and memorable. Trent was an awesome officiant. He has a great personality and made our vows special and meaningful. He offered his assistance after the vows were over to work the photographer to ensure we were able to capture the special moments we were looking for. We couldn’t have found a better officiant than Trent. Highly recommended!
Our photographer Karen with Kotten Photographer was fantastic, and professional. She has a way of capturing your true personality with her photos and makes the entire process painless and enjoyable. She allowed us to show our silly side as well as our sincere side, which I think is important when capturing special moments like this. Weddings happen only once in a lifetime, and when those moments are gone, the photos tell the story. Our wedding was absolutely perfect. Simple Weddings did a fantastic job. It could not have been a smoother process. I would recommend them for any wedding choices, no matter how small they may seem. Each request we made was presented with a professional and admirable attitude. The qualities presented by Simple Weddings are difficult to find in today’s economy. Most companies are only out for the money and do not truly care about capturing the true moment of the event. I promise you – you cannot go wrong with Simple Weddings. They are AMAZING!

Simple Weddings really did an outstanding job for us. They made the planning for the wedding and the day of the wedding very easy and stress free. Everything turned out EXACTLY the way we wanted our wedding to be. Our family and friends were amazed at how incredible the entire day was, and we owe all the success to Simple Weddings. They really care and it shows in how you are treated.
GUEST




My husband and I were thrilled with Simple Weddings from the start. Our wedding planner was so sweet and informative. We felt relaxed and trusted her to guide us throughout the many months of planning and organizing.
It has been months since our wedding day, and family and friends are still talking about how lovely our Florida event was. We are so happy that we selected Simple Weddings to help us plan our wedding. It was a perfect day, thanks to them!! x o x o

Jeff comes off as a really laid back kind of guy. He showed up dressed up in nice clothes, flip flops and a comforting smile. You could tell he was a pro at officiating. He really fit right in with all of us.
He picked up a camera after the ceremony and started snapping candid photos of my family and us while Claire worked away at us taking group shots. It was a nice surprise that every part of my day on the beach was captured.
It was supposed to be a small ceremony, with just 5 of us and that included Jeff and Claire. Come to find out my husband had been conspiring with my family and his for all of them to show up. He had even been on the phone with Jeff and Claire right after me working with them to make it happen and to keep it a secret from me. Apparently Jeff and Claire had helped him pick all of the venues for our special day. It was such a great surprise to walk onto the beach and see 40 people you love standing there. It was like I was the bride in a romantic chick flick. Nate couldn't have pulled it off without Jeff and Claire.
GUEST




I can't say enough about all of the staff from Simple Weddings! Every part of the wedding went smoothly and beautifully and I had no stress on my wedding day. How many brides can say that!? Claire was our photographer and the pictures are amazing and will help us cherish our special day forever. I would recommend Simple Weddings over and over again to any couple planning their wedding!
GUEST




At the request of our 4 kids my husband and I decided to renew our vows on our 20th wedding anniversary. Both Jeff, our officiant, and Claire, our photographer, went above and beyond. Jeff made us both feel at ease during the vow exchange and Claire got the best photos of every aspect of the evening. Thanks to you both! Simple Weddings should be your first and only choice for your Florida wedding (or vow renewal)

Simple Weddings did a fantastic job! They couldn't have made it any easier for us! My wedding coordinator Christine took care of everything for me, and the things I had to handle myself she gave recommendations for. She was available any time I needed her, and was very professional. I live in another state so I was a nervous about everything coming together, but it did. The set-up was absolutely beautiful, and everything went so smooth. It really was "The Perfect Day" I would recommend Simple Weddings to anyone!

We got married on the beach in Pass-A-Grille (St Pete Beach) on November 21st. Claire and Jeff are great to work with and were set-up and ready to go. Their equipment is in very good condition and Jeff did a great job as officient. We used the bamboo structure with bamboo chairs. It has a nice beachy relaxed formal look.
GUEST




My husband and I had THE MOST PERFECT wedding at Pass-A-Grille Beach in St. Petersburg, FL on May 5th. Claire and Jeff were the perfect team to work with. Our wedding was a simple ceremony with just the two of us as this was a second marriage for both of us, but Claire and Jeff made the moment perfect for the two of us. I couldn't have asked for a better officiant than Jeff - he made us feel very comfortable and even made us laugh on occasion. He ensured that we enjoyed and valued every moment of our ceremony. And Claire, words cannot express how happy we are with the pictures she took of us - she captured perfect moments that we will now be able to look back on and treasure forever due to her amazing photography! She also made us laugh and enjoy moments instead of always posing. I would HIGHLY recommend that you make the only choice of SIMPLE WEDDINGS for your beach wedding in Florida. You won't be disappointed! The happy couple - Scott and Robyn Evans, Gallatin, TN

Had an amazing time. Very relaxed and very friendly. It's tough not knowing the area and the vendors. Everyone was supportive and even helped us try to save money too. Highly recommend using Simple Weddings.

Wedding Planner:
Planning a wedding ceremony in another country can be overwhelming however nothing was too much trouble and their service was impeccable, replying quickly to all my emails and concerns. Christine coordinated everything and the whole process went like a dream. We got married at sunset on North Lido Beach, Sarasota, FL and it was amazing. I will never forget my wedding day and would highly recommend Simple Weddings to anyone.
Photographer:
Amazing photography quality!! We worked with Stephanie and her daughter and their professionalism, personality, and photographic ability were excellent. Our wedding was perfect and they captured all of the special moments we wanted. Both, my husband and I, loved our wedding photos and we highly recommend Simple Weddings they couldn’t have provided a better photographer.
Officiant:
Jeff was professional and really attentive to what we wanted for our day. He contacted us a couple of days before the ceremony to go over a few things prior to make sure that everything was in order. Our ceremony was absolutely perfect on a day my husband and I will remember forever. I can not thank Jeff enough for being the perfect officiant, he was funny and attentive and made our day very special indeed
Any Bride is in good hands with Claire and Jeff.
What can I say? The bride that finds Simple Weddings is the luckiest bride in the world. Simple Weddings makes wedding planning sooo easy. They do everything for you....and do it for amazingly affordable prices to fit any budget.
Not only do they take the stress out of your day, but all the days leading to your special moment they provide the best service you will ever receive. I have witnessed it first hand with many of my clients. They sing the praises of the staff at Simple Weddings and I know that they truly deserve it.

FAQ for Simple Weddings
How much do you charge?
Our current prices can be accessed on our website on our Florida Weddings website by clicking on “Packages & Prices”. We offer packages that include your wedding ceremony/officiant, photographer, and ceremony setup as well as extras like chairs, arches, bamboo canopies, music and sound. Feel free to contact us with any special requests or to get a personalized quote.
How far in advance do we need to book?
It is impossible to tell. Some dates (especially weekends in the Spring and Fall and quirky dates like 11/11/11 or 10/11/12) get booked over a year in advance, and some dates never get booked. Saturdays tend to fill up first, and our calendar generally starts to get full about 4 to 8 months out. The best advice we can offer is as soon as you have set your date, make your deposits to reserve all of your vendors and venues. Of course, it never hurts to ask – we do have many dates available on short notice, and if you are flexible, we can usually squeeze you in somewhere!
