"I wanted to let you know that I was blown away with how the party turned out. From you keeping me on budget, to the decorations... It was beyond my expectations. I commend you on your creativity, professionalism and attention to detail. I didn't realize how much work goes into putting a party together, and you did it with ease. The music was on point and everyone danced the night away. Thank you and Jermaine again."

-Ferguson Graduation Party, The Tavern, New Britain, CT

"We rented the Photo Booth for my retirement party. It was a huge hit and a great keepsake for both me and my guests. Taryn & Jermaine were awesome to work with and didn't rush us to close up when the evening was coming to an end. They have the perfect personalities for their line of work,  had great props, and were very helpful getting people engaged and switching out poses. You could tell they were enjoying the event as well. Would definitely use them again and recommend them. Getting the photo booth was worth every penny!!"

-Grier Retirement Party, Casa Mia at the Hawthorne, Berlin, CT

​

"Taryn was the most amazing wedding planner.  She was with us start to finish and I don't know what I would had done without her.  She made the whole process of planning a wedding so easy and less stressful. Her creativity and ability to take our vision and help us make the most beautiful wedding was beyond anything I could have ever expected. And knowing I didn't have to worry about anything other than getting ready the morning of the wedding was such a load off my shoulders, so I could enjoy every moment of our special day.  I can't say enough about how much Taryn meant to my new husband and myself.  If anyone is on the fence about getting a wedding planner.... DO IT, and hire Taryn!  You won't be disappointed."

​

"It is with great pleasure to say that not once, but twice have I been blessed to have Taryn (Simple Elegance) party plan for my event. The latest event was my daughter’s sweet 16 and the theme was The Great Gatsby! Taryn was able to make the Norwich art theater into a scene from the movie for sure! Taryn takes all your ideas and turns them into reality based on your ideas. She goes to great lengths to make sure you get all of what you want even if it is a small budget. I truly am thankful all that she did for my daughter’s party and would highly recommend her to anyone needing assistance with their event. I will use Taryn for all my big events, I am sure of it!"

-Jones Sweet 16, Norwich Arts Theater, Norwich, CT

"You were professional, attentive and an absolute pleasure to work with!"

- Greene Bridal Shower, Casa Mia at the Hawthorne Inn, Berlin, CT

​

"Without (Simple Elegance) I would not have been able to throw such a well-designed and organized party. Additionally, Taryn was there the day of the party assisting my daughter and her court. She made it very clear that she was there to help and that I and others could go to her if need be. The party ran smoothly and I felt so much relief. After the party Taryn and her crew took down everything and made sure the venue was clean. Again, another lifesaver because after partying for hours I surely did not have the energy to do it.

"Great job. A pleasure to work with and very highly recommended. Looking forward to another DJ E.L. led event."

-Barnett 40th Birthday Party, Lady Katharine Cruises, Middletown, CT

"Taryn was great! She listened to my plans and offered her own advice from experience and together we collaborated for the finished layout. We had gone over the decoration plans for my wedding with a sunny day in mind (as the date historically never rains!) but never talked at length about plan B. As the day arrived along with hurricanes, Taryn was able to take the original decorations and adjust them to a smaller combination ceremony/dinner space and none of my guests were ever the wiser. It all looked great and was set up in record time, then also taken down and boxed for transport home. Thank you for making my wedding beautiful!  [5 Star Review on TheKnot.com]
