About — A Simple Planner

Meet Kayla, Owner + Lead Planner.

For as long as I can remember, events have been a passion of mine. Who doesn’t love spreadsheets, timelines and a to do list? I always knew my future would consist of events – sporting events, corporate events, parties, weddings, etc. Events have no limit. Whether it is planning over coffee & brunch or while watching a game on TV, I promise the planning process will be fun.

I started A Simple Planner in 2020 thanks to a big push from my favorite gal pal, Morgan Ross. I wanted to be a trustworthy resource people could come to for advice, suggestions, recommendations, etc. for their future events. I cannot put into words the gratitude I have for each and every one of my clients, supportive friends and family, and amazing vendors who have helped me make A Simple Planner what it is today. What started as a small idea has turned into a big adventure.

When I am not working or planning, you can find me: drinking coffee or tea, supporting my thirteen year old best friend Maddox on the basketball court, walking my dog Chip, watching a sporting event (most likely college football or college basketball), or spending time with the ones I hold near & dear!

Meet Julia, Lead Coordinator.

There is nothing I enjoy more than a celebration, and I have a passion for planning those special moments. I am detail oriented, creative and extremely organized. I pride myself on timeliness and my empathetic nature. It is like Christmas morning to me listening to someone’s vision and helping bring that to life. I promise to make your planning and event day as seamless as possible. Let me do the work and you enjoy every moment of it!

I pride myself on my work, but outside of those moments, you will usually find me chasing around my toddler, spending time with my husband, family and friends, exercising, traveling to a place near and dear to me, France, or just enjoying a nice glass of wine while snuggling my two dogs.
