The Dream Team
Lexi
As a little girl, you could often find Lexi Kruger playing wedding and house in her Grandma’s basement. (Usually using a towel as a veil and her Mom’s old prom dress as her own, very elegant, wedding dress) A hopeless romantic, love and family are the most important things to her. When she was given the opportunity to work in the wedding industry, Lexi couldn’t turn it down. Having a love for all kinds of people, you will usually find her with a smile on her face. Growing up in Las Vegas, Lexi has seen it all and is well versed in all that the beautiful Valley has to offer, both on and off of the Strip. She loves her city and loves the diversity of the wedding industry. As a certified CGSP, (Certified Guest Service Professional) she thoroughly enjoys speaking one on one with the Brides and Grooms, to make sure their big day is the most memorable day of their lives. Aside from the wedding world, Lexi is a first time Papillary Cancer survivor and has been in remission now since 2017. She is a devoted wife to her best friend Eric and loving Mommy to her son 12-year-old son Landon, 10-year-old Halle and their 6-year-old sass queen Remi. She loves spending quality time with her immediate and LARGE extended family; including her two dogs, Izzy and Max. 
Jenn
Jenn has over a decade working in hospitality. She graduated from Event Design and Production from The International School of Hospitality back in 2017 and has been dedicating herself to events ever since. One of her many superpowers is being 5 steps ahead of everyone else. When brainstorming for design concepts, she’s always pushing the envelope and comes up with unique ideas. Her attention to detail while setting up is exceptional. She’s a natural problem solver and while she’s super personable with everyone around her, she makes sure things get done. When not working in events, Jenn enjoys discovering vegan restaurants in town and playing with her German Shepherd Oxxo. She is really an outdoor person and loves hanging out with her friends driving buggy carts around the dunes, if not hiking our surrounding National Parks. She is a globe-trotter and has some of the most impressive packing skills we’ve ever seen. 
Mayela
Mayela has been dedicated to building community and creating memorable experiences since earning her Bachelor of Social Work from UNLV in 2019. Her path into events came naturally through her nonprofit work, serving the Southern Nevada disability community through various local nonprofits, most recently as Program Manager at the Collaboration Center Foundation. Here she found herself planning everything from intimate gatherings to annual galas. What started as a role quickly became a passion, especially after planning her own wedding, which gave her a whole new love for celebrating life’s biggest moments.Mayela’s has a natural ability to stay calm and collected no matter what’s happening behind the scenes and her vendor partners and clients know they can always count on her to deliver seamless events filled with joy.When she’s not planning weddings, Mayela enjoys staying active, traveling with her husband, and exploring new cuisines and cultures. She loves spending time with her family, discovering hidden gems in town, and finding inspiration for fresh ideas everywhere she goes.Gina
Wedding planners are, by trade, hopeless romantics and Gina is no exception. After graduating from The International School of Hospitality, Gina joined the Simply Weddings team in 2013 and has since found that her true passion for weddings comes from her love of love itself. When looking back on her favorite weddings, she finds that her picks have very little to do with the décor, overall theme or food. Instead, it’s about the love so evidently shared between the couple on their big day.When not amidst wedding work, there’s no doubt that Gina will still be running off of her one true love – coffee! Gina enjoys spending her time with her boy Sebastian – preferably outdoors and near a body of water! She travels at any chance she can get and it’s even better if the destination can accommodate her love of scuba diving (as close as she can get to her dream of being a mermaid – for now!).Love Notes

Having Lexi was a true blessing and solving last minute emergencies as I witnessed her running all over the venue to make sure things were perfect from the walk down the aisle to the cake cutting, speeches, to flowers in the proper places and even a few safety pins for the brides dress. I couldn't imagine the day without her.

- Gaby J. Voted Top Wedding Photographer by Condé Nast Brides
Simply Weddings were above and beyond anything my husband, wedding party and I ever expected.
They are simply, simply fantastic, everything from organizing this from afar (We are Scottish), dealing with different requests, last minute requests - our day was absolutely amazing and went without a single issue.
-Keira & Ian
Simply Weddings consultants Cristina and Gina were simply wonderful. They made my destination wedding beautiful and easy for me.
— Donna & Avery
It is hard to put into words just how amazing Cristina and her team are!
She is extremely detail oriented, ensures you stay on budget, and has an amazing eye for design. It was so nice to be able to rely on her expertise. She had amazing relationships with all of our vendors and made sure we got our contracts signed in a timely manner. And on our wedding day, we didn't have to worry about a thing. There we undoubtedly issues she encountered, but we never knew of them. She made sure breakfast was delivered to the bridal suite, made sure I felt my best, helped me into my dress, and did everything to make sure we were happy on our big day. You need to hire her and her team!
