I had a great experience working with Simply Elegant. They helped me pick out furniture that fit my budget and matched my event's theme perfectly. Jade, the event designer was amazing to work with—so creative and professional. The service was exceptional, from measuring and layout suggestions to on-time delivery and post-event cleanup. The furniture was beautiful too! Highly recommend them!
