Simply Elegant in the Calgary Hospitality Landscape

The tradition of event planning within hospitality has ancient roots, evolving from grand historical celebrations to the sophisticated, professional services offered today. While many associate “hospitality firms” primarily with hotels or travel, the industry is far broader, encompassing specialized fields like event management, catering, and venue selection – the very areas where Simply Elegant excels.

Simply Elegant began its journey as a Calgary catering company in 1996. Over the decades, we’ve grown into the full-service hospitality firm you see today, offering a true “one-stop-shop” for planning and managing diverse events across Calgary. Our foundation lies in creating memorable experiences by attending to all your event needs, from food and drink to ambiance and decor. This evolution allows us to offer a comprehensive and integrated service unparalleled in the local market.
