Anne M. MOB 10.28.2023 Simply Azure is Simply A+ Amazing!

We highly recommend Simply Azure and Farrah K. as your Wedding “Day of Coordinator.” Simply Azure will deliver beyond all your needs and exceed all your expectations. Simply Azure was our number one vendor, and Farrah was the number one reason why our daughter and son-in-law, our families, and our friends had the most spectacular, welcoming, historic and enchanting wedding weekend.

Our daughter and her fiancé selected a Chicago museum for their wedding ceremony and reception that required a year-long collaboration with over nine Chicago based vendors. The coordination and communication between vendors was extremely detailed and demanding, and Simply Azure was the invisible; yet, ever-present thread that connected all the parts of planning and organizing that guaranteed the successful implementation of a unique wedding experience.

We know that hundreds of other couples and their families host weddings and parties in the same space, but with Farrah’s attention to details and her personal awareness of the couple’s vision, our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding perfectly illustrated them as individuals and as a couple. Many of our family and friends have commented that the wedding was unique and unlike any other that they have attended. Farrah and Simply Azure helped to create that singular sense of personal and communal beauty and hospitality.

Farrah is so much more than a “Day of Coordinator.” She is an experienced and highly educated professional and a considerate planner and person who generously gave of her time, knowledge, and guidance in many ways including: in person meetings, Zoom check ins, unlimited emails, and text messages the day of that kept the bride and groom, the entire wedding party, and all families on track and on time. This was a daunting task that she and her assistant Candice delivered with calm confidence that gave courage to all so that there was wonderful laughter and fun and joy on their wedding day!

Farrah provides a twelve month timeline that lists month-by-month activities to be accomplished by the couple and their vendors that includes crucial dates, locations, and details that guide a couple through one of the most complicated journeys of their engagement. She keeps the focus on the bride and groom and their needs throughout the months and especially on the wedding day. She remains respectful and considerate of all the families and makes an effort to understand all the relationships that are important to the bride and groom.

In addition to her wisdom, suggestions, and decade long experience, Farrah takes the time to establish a commitment and trust between the couple and the planner that adds a sense of grace and gratitude to each day. She is a careful listener who honor’s a couple’s vision, and Farrah provides advice and suggestions if needed so that the Bride and Groom-To-Be can relax and enjoy the unfolding decisions that culminates on their wedding day.

Through the months, and especially the last two weeks before the wedding, when planning and preparation became most demanding or started to feel overwhelming, and our witty future son-in law would title another revised seating chart document: “GOin crazy with it,” my daughter and I would turn to each other with concern, and say one word: “Farrah,” and we knew that all would be well!

Words cannot fully capture our gratitude and appreciation for the stellar professionalism and personal kindness that Simply Azure and Farrah K. consistently provided through the entire wedding planning process.

Farrah Kauffman and Simply Azure Events is the reason that our wedding was as beautiful, personal, and joyful as it was.

Farrah’s expertise and understanding of the nuances of the wedding industry helped us tremendously throughout the process.

Our family was highly communicative throughout the wedding planning process, and Farrah was patient, responsive — and above all — empathetic and kind — each and every step of the way. Farrah treated each email & message that we sent to her with a level of detail, respect, and warmth that I have not seen in my 6+ years working within the customer service industry.

I could not be more grateful that we decided to work with Farrah and Simply Azure throughout our wedding process. I would recommend Farrah’s work and artistry to anyone who is planning a wedding or other special event.

Farrah made the wedding planning process feel enjoyable, personal, and filled with joy. Thank you, Farrah and Simply Azure!

Farrah from Simply Azure events is simply amazing! She is so professional and knowledgeable about the industry so is always able to share good mindsets and advice while planning. In addition Farrah is so organized, detail oriented, caring and smart! She really is the best wedding planner ever. I wasn't sure at first if getting a wedding planner would be 'worth it' but after our first call, I knew I made the best decision ever. Farrah seriously made all my wedding dreams come true - but most importantly, she made the whole experience of planning so much fun because I could count on her for everything! Finally, she made my wedding day pure bliss. We were able to enjoy the day and soak everything up because she handled everything and truly cared that that experience was the outcome! I have never been more pleased with a decision to hire Farrah and I would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!
