My husband and I were married October 2nd 2004.This is my second marriage and we wanted a simple, elegant affair with close family and friends. We were married in Chester, N.S. but I live in Saint John.
Finding Claudia was perfect for us. She listened and did everything she could to make it a special occasion. She has all the right contacts to find everything you need and is very cost conscious. She kept in close contact with us and followed up on our every request. On our wedding day she was with us from early morning to late at night overseeing every detail.
Claudia helped make our dream come true and we would highly recommend her services to others.

"We are so thankful for having chosen Simply Weddings to organize our wedding. At a celebration of
such importance, it goes without saying that our services had to be professional, organized, and
hassle-free. Simply Weddings ensured that every last detail was perfect and recommended only the
best quality suppliers - at a price that suited our budget.
We were also very impressed with Claudia Whitehead's unique creative flare - A rare find that
rendered every aspect tasteful and breathtaking. We received so many compliments! A great
experience in every sense."

"Our wedding day was fabulous! Claudia worked very closely with us on preparing for the wedding so we felt very confident on the big day that things would go as planned. To our delight, the day not only met but exceeded our expectations.
We had selected two different venues for our ceremony and reception. If Claudia hadn't been there on my big day, I would have been a ball of stress. She managed to coordinate and set-up both locations on time and better than what we had anticipated (from flowers, to chairs to A/V equipment to our candy buffet... she made sure everything was ready to go). Also, having a pro like Claudia around meant that we did not have to ask friends or family to coordinate these tasks for us...they were able to just enjoy the day and celebrate with us.
Claudia is a professional when it comes to wedding planning and coordination. She works with and is very well respected by the top
wedding vendors in and around Halifax and provides invaluable guidance to brides to ensure a stress-free wedding day. My husband and I have her to thank for the successful execution of our big day. Because of her, we were able to spend the entire day with our family and friends rather then fussing over the little details. And to us, that was absolutely priceless."

The following testimonial is a tribute to Claudia, who we feel took the seed of our idea for a
romantic wedding and made it blossom into a beautiful day that we will cherish for the rest of our
lives.
The only thing we knew was that we wanted to have a small gathering on the rocks at Peggy's
Cove, with the waves crashing around us and the lighthouse as our guardian. Well, being from
Ontario, we weren't sure exactly how to translate such a vision into reality. Laura found Claudia's
website and after a few online conversations, our journey began.
Claudia has a seemingly bottomless well of contacts and she laid down the stepping stones that
we only had to follow.
As we were creating a blended family and because the children were an integral part of
everything we wanted to experience, we asked for a photographer who wasn't afraid to experiment; in
fact one who would be willing to depart from the usual format of posed wedding shots that both of us
had endured before.
Again, she exceeded our expectations with her choice of Tim Oben. He mixed black and white with
our coloured shots for an album that begs to be looked at over and over again.
She also guided us through the process of aquiring the ever-important wedding licence from Nova
Scotia. Although I spent quite a few years in Halifax as a child, I didn't have the foggiest notion
how to get legally married there!
Also, she arranged for the engagement of a lady justice-of-the-peace to preside over us. Her
ceremony was beautiful, and although she was a bit hesistant about stepping out on the rocks ( it
was a rather windy day) Claudia made it quite clear that it was our day and we had our hearts set on
the location.
I guess we would just like to have it known that Claudia's energy and organizational ability
would be indispensible to any couple who would like to ensure that their special day be as memorable
as ours
Sincerely,
Andrew Baker and Laura McEwen.

Dear Claudia,
I just wanted to write and say a very big thank you for all that you did for our wedding. It was
fantastic from beginning to end and you were a huge part in making the day so successful. You kept
us all organized and calm all day long. I loved the decorations, the set up of the room, the flow
of the speeches and all your great ideas that helped make our fairy tale wedding come true. We
can't thank you enough Claudia. We hope your business as a wedding planner is a successful one -
every bride in Halifax could benefit from your professionalism as a wedding planner. Thanks again.
It was so wonderful to have the opportunity to work with you.
- Mary & Pete
