Simply Weddings by Brit Bertino

Brit Bertino is Simply Awesome! What can I say about Simply Weddings by Birt Bertino… You do not meet too many people in life that perform their jobs to the level of a Birt Bertino. I am bless to know I have her as my event director and would pay any amount of money for her to coordinate and direct any event for me in any part of this earth. Her creative, knowledgeable, patient, professional, skillful traits are assets a client need from an experience planner. Brit possesses them all and more. I am a very meticulous and extremely detail oriented person and when I decided to celebrate my 50th Birthday, I was looking for someone who comprehended my vision fully which was for an elegant formal event. I selected the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas and they recommended Simply Weddings by Birt Bertino. It truly was the best recommendation I ever received. Living in New York and planning the type of celebration I envisioned, could only be planned and executed by someone who was knowledgeable, skilled in their craft, highly professional with an amazing personality and that person could only be Brit Bertino. I was truly blessed to have Brit at the helm of the production of my event. Because of my nature to control and possessing a perfectionist personality, it was difficult to leave everything up to Brit. However, from the very first phone conversation with Brit I immediately felt a sense of easy. She was confident and trusting with a calming tone, there was never a second thought of looking for another event director. Brit immediately became active and engaged in the planning and coordination of my event, we communicated frequently by phone and emails, there was NEVER a call or an email that went without a response even while she was out of the country, she remained in touch with me. I flew to Las Vegas once and Brit was left to work her magic from recruiting the right vendors, working with the staff at the Bellagio, to sketching the design of the cake that I envisioned in my mind, to providing direction and guidance with my budget. In my culture, we are usually tardy at events and since I wanted to expose some of my guests to a different type of celebration, one that required that everyone be on time, Brit, detailed timeline made it easy for everyone to enjoy every aspect of the entire celebration. On the day of my event, 44 of my closest family members and friends joined me in celebration my 50th Birthday, I was marveled by Brit’s caring and personal touch to every tiny detail. She even assisted with adorning my glamorous gown with the decorative pins needed for the final touch. There was nothing Brit did not do to make sure my event a memorable one. Each of my guests will forever have unforgettable memories of my 50th Birthday Celebration edged in their minds because of Simply Weddings by Brit Bertino. Brit’s passion for what she does relieved the stress of planning an event in another state and she infused her creative energy into making one of the best days of my entire life possible. There is no one else I neither could nor would ever recommend as a planner for any event on this planet other than Simply Weddings by Brit Bertino and her team.

Simply weddings was simply PERFECT! Brit and Erica were both beyond GREAT! Just the thought of planning a wedding with all the details and arrangements were very intimidating for me. We are from the east coast, so looking for the perfect venue and all the other details that a wedding involves was overwhelming. My now husband and I decided on Vegas because we both wanted something unforgettable. We wanted our friends and family to have the time of their lives. The first time I spoke with Brit she made it sound so simple, and that's exactly what it was, SIMPLE. I told her exactly what I wanted and what my budget was and she made the wedding of my dreams come true! From the perfect purple flowers, to the little details decorating our penthouse suite, to making our guest feel like they were right at home. I felt like all we had to do was show up. I got to enjoy every minute of that night. I didn't have to worry about setting up times for the Dj or when the cake will arrive or just anything at all. Brit and I spoke throughout the months leading up to my wedding making sure I wanted this or that. Erica her assistant was great with all my crazy emails, changing my mind on little things here and there. They both made it so easy. The found the perfect DJ, perfect photographer, perfect solo guitarist, perfect everything. Words can't describe how AMAZING SIMPLY WEDDINGS is! They have made my wedding day the unforgettable wedding we wanted. Our guest are still talking about how great of a time they had. I owe it all to the crew at Simply Weddings. You guys do an amazing job, and I would highly recommend Simply Weddings to anyone who is planning a wedding. Why stress on the little things, I didn't. I enjoyed every minute of my day. Thanks Brit, thanks Erica. You guys are the BEST!! Palm Beach, Fl

Brit Bertino is the wedding industry’s superwoman. I was so impressed with her ability to bring together the best-of-the-best vendors to make our December 3rd wedding at the Bellagio a night we’d never forget. The day after I got engaged, I sent Brit an email and from that day on (for over a year!), we worked together to plan a destination wedding in Las Vegas. Brit blew me away with her response times to my tons and tons of emails and calls. She made me feel like I was her only bride throughout the entire experience and kept me calm during the time leading up to the wedding. I was admittedly obsessive when it came to planning, but with Brit’s talent and expertise, I was able to relinquish that control and actually enjoy my wedding day. We traveled to Las Vegas to meet Brit and all of our vendors early on, and it was so nice to have her take us around the city to show us different venue options and considerations. Her knowledge of Las Vegas wedding venues and vendors was invaluable for us. She gave us insight to how things will run, what we could expect and helped us make educated decisions about planning for the biggest day of our lives. As the bride, Brit made it so easy for me to enjoy the experience. I’d tell her my vision and wish list, and she’d suggest tons of ideas for me to choose from. She coordinated all communication between the Bellagio, our vendors and all the places we had room blocks at. I never had to worry that things weren’t being handled because Brit was all over every last detail. She reminded me that this was a time for me to take in and enjoy the engagement and leave the work up to her. And even after a year of planning, we still found time to request additional last-minute needs (like a Frank Sinatra impersonator, “Old Hollywood” style chairs and a videographer). Brit didn’t blink at these requests. In a matter of hours, she had the information and quotes ready for us to move forward. I don’t know what we would have done without Brit in planning a destination wedding in Las Vegas. We had the time of our lives and it was the most beautiful and fun party we ever imagined. While Brit was our wedding planner, I also found a great friend who shared a very special moment of our lives with us. Brit is AMAZING and you will not be disappointed if you bring her on as your planner! I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend her and thank her and her team for making our wedding...

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Brit and Erica of Simply Weddings for our wedding reception this last October. Brit and Erica were both very professional and efficient. They were willing to work around our schedules for meetings. Erica attended the cake tasting to make sure we had the wedding cake of our dreams. They returned e-mails and phone calls promptly and kept us updated on the progress of our event. They were genuinely interested in making our reception what we wanted it to be and enhanced our visions with their ideas. Their coordination skills are excellent, they keep everything organized and make sure all vendor contracts are completed on time. Simply Weddings had great ideas to make the already fabulous venue look magical. The outside vendors they suggested provided excellent and professional service also. The only cautionary advice I have is make sure they take notes on exactly what you want. If you make changes make sure notes are taken as reminders at that time, as small details can be overlooked. When planning a wedding, I would suggest hiring a coordinator (Simply Weddings) from the beginning. They do an excellent job of making your day simply fabulous.

Our wedding and reception were held on the Fountain Terrace at the Four Seasons in Las Vegas in October 2011. We are both living in Dubai, so when we decided to get married in Las Vegas, we had zero idea how we were going to pull it off. We are so lucky that we found Simply Weddings. Brit and Erica were wonderful, the wedding and reception were beyond anything we had imagined. It was all just perfect. The photographer, make-up/hairstylist, DJ, celebrant, guitarist that Brit recommended were all fabulous. Brit and Erica had everything sorted for us, so all we really had to do was turn up on the day and have a blast. Which we did. I would definitely recommend Brit and her team to anyone planning a Las Vegas wedding.

From begining to the day of my wedding I was able to call or email and get answers and help with anything I needed. I do not reside in Las Vegas but that is where we wanted our wedding and I couldn't see anyone but Simply Weddings handling that for us! I loved everything thing they did for us! No question or problem is too small they help with it all! Brit and Laurie are the Best! Look no further when you find Simply Weddings!

We met Brit and Lori back in October 2010 to plan out our destination wedding in Las Vegas for July 16, 2011. My Now husband Tom and I chose Las Vegas for many different reasons, we wanted a destination wedding where you can find beauty and fun at the same time for our guest to enjoy themselves. My purpose on hiring a wedding consultant was mainly to bring together all my ideas and my planning into reality. I was the bride that already found a venue - the ceremony and reception site - already found a photographer and videographer just by research - I just needed someone to BRING it all together and have the wedding of my dreams - and that is exactly what they did for me. I worked very closely with Lori, who through the year of planning made my life so much easier. She came with us on every appointments I wanted her there for - from meeting with the venue location going over decor - and to our food tasting - to my makeup and hair trial....she stood by my side. Lori did above and beyond that I expected - the list is endless. She was focus and on the ball for everything on our wedding day - she was there from the beginning of the set up to the end of the wedding. She helped us with the flow of our wedding and kept us informed on every step of the way. People say something always go wrong at a wedding..............if something did at ours.......we didn't notice....we were having a blast and I know it was because I had the trust and faith with Lori. Simply Weddings by Brit Bertino was the BEST decision I made through this wedding planning. Not only did they make me feel at ease having a destination wedding - they were there every step of the way - always responsive on every call - text - emails. They made me feel that I was important to them. Yes we were clients to them - but in the end we felt like we found great friends that made every bit of our dreams come true. If anyone is thinking of Vegas to book a wedding - call Brit and Lori - they can make it happen and make it all come with ease. We highly recommend them for all their hard work and dedication on making sure your day will be the BEST day of your life.

Trust No One Else! Look no further. You have found the most amazing wedding planner! Brit and her team pulled together my wedding in less than 3 months. We cocktailed, food tasted and dreamed up the most amazing ideas for my wedding. She was reachable at all hours which is exactly what a bride needs. In addition to just the ceremony and reception, she planned a cocktail party and last minute was able to secure us a photo session at the Neon Bone Yard. Her staff was amazing at getting friends and family loaded on the bus and at the ceremony on time and without anyone missing! If you are looking for a wedding planner that goes the extra mile, has a clear love for what she does, and will make sure you can relax and enjoy your day, you found her!

We met with Brit in Vegas (who we instantly connected with) and worked with her associate Lori for a good portion of the detail work. Both Lori and Brit were a hugely helpful, before and on our wedding day. I was planning a Las Vegas wedding from Hong Kong, with guests coming from all over the world, so the emails were flying back and forth for months. I changed my mind constantly about flowers, decor and design - both Brit and Lori were patient, creative and supportive all the way. They made sure I felt in control of my process, even from 6000 miles away. The ladies sourced great hair and make-up people, floral, decor and equipment, and worked closely with the vendors and details we chose on our own. They also found a completely charming minister on short notice, who made my Mother in Law cry with her great readings in the performance of our ceremony. Lori was absolutely indispensable the day of the wedding – my husband and I are so happy we chose to work with her for our intimate Vegas wedding. She ran our day from set-up, ceremony, dinner, dancing to tear-down like clockwork, plus made sure I was informed every step of the way. There are always a few little snags in every wedding, but they were fixed instantly and the party continued. Simply Weddings by Brit Bertino took a pushy bride from a distant land and found exactly what she wanted, on budget, and with a ton of style. The day was beautiful, intimate, chic and cheerful. The bottom line: These ladies are complete pros. Worth every penny.

I was married in the Dynasty Suite at the Mandarin Oriental in Vegas on 12/11/10. We had only around 2 weeks to plan a very small wedding and couldn't have done it without Brit and Simply Weddings. They took care of coordinating everything and the suite looked amazing! The entire wedding party and guests were in awe of how amazing everything looked--the flowers, decor, lighting, etc. I would recommend Simply Weddings to anyone.

Working with Brit and her fabulous team at Simply Weddings was a completely enjoyable experience. Brit, Lori, Larissa, Kelly and Josie went above and beyond any and all of our expectations. Bird cages at the last minute? No problem. Groom needs to rehearse with the band for a surprise act? You got it. Cookies in the middle of the reception because the bride is starving? Does she want one of two? There was nothing they couldn’t handle. We were a couple with very specific ideas on how we wanted certain things to be executed and Simply Weddings provided us with expert guidance on how to make our vision come true. Furthermore, Brit and her team did a superb job of opening our eyes to all the details that go into a wedding. Simply Weddings beautifully coordinated other aspects of the wedding that we had not considered and did it flawlessly. Brit made sure everything was planned to the minute and nothing, not even one of the million details that we brought to her, was left out. And when it started to rain, we didn’t stress for one moment because we knew that Brit would not allow a location change to diminish our vision. And she didn’t let us down. During the wedding weekend, the Simply Weddings team was a life saver. It was a destination wedding for us with 120 guests from across the globe emerging on Las Vegas for 72 hours. A lot could have gone wrong. However, they made sure everything was taken care of so all we had to do was enjoy our weekend with our family and friends. They were extremely professional and patient which was very much appreciated by us and our families. Our only regret was not finding Simply Weddings by Brit Bertino sooner. They are amazing and helped ease the stresses of our wedding weekend tremendously. I highly recommend Brit Bertino and the Simply Weddings team to anyone who needs some creative guidance for executing a weekend event. We want to thank her and her team for all of their hard work and efforts during the most momentous time in our lives.

I would highly recommend using Simply Weddings by Brit Bertino. I enjoyed working with Brit and Lori and sincerely appreciated everything they did to make our event perfect! They were a professional, detail oriented, hard working team. They had everything covered down to the smallest details. I knew I didn’t have to worry about anything on my special day because Brit and Lori had everything taken care of!

Brit and her team were lifesavers! We planned this wedding in 3 months due to my future son-in-law's deployment. Brit put everything together for us in a short amount of time, and within budget! I was able to reach her at any time and she returned my calls immediately. I would recommend her services to anyone who wants to just enjoy the moment without worries!

Brit and her team made my Daughter and Son -in- law's wedding such a memorable affair. The smartest thing my daughter and I did with the destination wedding was to hire a planner. It would have been so much more difficult planning everything long range. Brit's knowledge of the local venues and vendors simplified much of our work and made our lives far easier. Her background and wedding experience guided us throughout the process, and kept us on top of what needed to be done. Her creativity and "out of the box" thinking truly enhanced the beauty and originality of everything, from having the bride and groom facing the guests to the visual "pop!" of the ballroom. She presented numerous novel and exciting ideas to us, yet always emphasized it was our wedding and we could do whatever we wanted. Brit has incredible energy and it manifested in all that she and her team accomplished. I love her positive energy and upbeat personality and how nice she was to work with. She was most cooperative with all requests and suggested solutions to all our problems. And Brit stayed within our designated budget! We found Brit through Wedding Wire and would suggest to anyone looking for a planner to consider Simply Weddings. Brit and her team were absolutely a delight to work with!

Everything was wonderful. It almost makes me want to have another wedding.

I highly recommend Simply Weddings by Brit Bertino for anyone who desires to have a magical and gorgeous wedding. As new arrivals to Las Vegas, my husband and I were so amazed at Brit’s ability to provide top quality and artistic vendors that complimented our budget. She was proficient in managing the vendors, budget sheets, timelines, and our wedding party during the wedding weekend. Brit and her staff always maintained a positive attitude and did a magnificent job at making our wedding vision a reality. Our guest, family, and friends are still complimenting us on the most beautiful spring wedding they have ever seen. Our wedding was truly blessed by God and with the help of Brit. My husband and I will always remember this day as one of the happiest days of our lives. Thanks Brit for making our dream wedding a lifetime of enchanting and breathtaking memories.

I would highly recommend using Simply VIP. They were extremely helpful with anything I asked--even the dumb questions.

I would highly recommend any bride to use Simply Vip especially if you are planning a destination wedding as we did. April and her crew were essential in making our wedding fantastic!!!!

Punctual and curteous service, would highly recommend.

Brit and her team were an unbelievable one stop resource for my Nieces wedding in Las Vegas. They went over the top to accommodate not only the bride and groom but also our guests. We had an emergency the day of the wedding and Brit handled it in the most professional manner. She remained calm as a few others like myself panicked. No one had a clue that there were emergency crews on-site and the party continued on. The Mahoney family is truly grateful for making the additional expense to hire a wedding planner. It is a great investment and they can truly guide you in the right direction to make your wedding a huge success.
