Key West Wedding Planners
Simply You was founded by Julie Shreck in 2008 with one purpose in mind: to provide every couple with the opportunity to create a wedding that truly reflects them, their lives and their love. Julie, along with her team of Key West wedding planners, bring more than 25 years of experience in hospitality and event planning to the creation of exceptional Florida Keys weddings.
Your passions become our passions, and we make it our mission to discover what matters most to you. Armed with this knowledge, we turn the vision for your special day into a reality. From grand galas to intimate gatherings and everything in between, working together we create a customized Florida Keys or Key West wedding that is truly and simply “you.”
How will your wedding décor and the location work together to elevate the visual background of your wedding? What culinary specialties will highlight the flavor of the Keys? Will the Conch Train deliver guests from the ceremony to the reception in ample time? Allow our team of consummate professionals to use our intimate knowledge of the Florida Keys and Key West, and strong connections to the finest locations, vendors and services throughout the Keys to make your wedding dreams come true.
