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 9-year-old son Landon, 7-year-old Halle and their 5-year-old sass queen Remi. She loves spending quality time with her immediate and LARGE extended family; including her two dogs, Izzy and Max.

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!).
Sofía
Sofia has a natural way to go around life helping almost everyone she encounters.
She is a die hard fan for beautiful stationery, colors and organization. She’s the proud owner of an extensive markers, colors and paper collection where she dedicates her free time to create art and practice lettering. Sofia majored in advertisement and communication which is the perfect outlet for her creativity.
As we do in Simply Weddings, Sofia believes that committing your life to your significant other is something to be celebrated on your own terms. She creates many of the custom stationery pieces you see and helps us in the office with our social media strategy, online marketing among other admin tasks.
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 to hang 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.
Storm
As a child, Storm was (and still is) a huge Disney Princess fan, watching Beauty & the Beast daily and singing Snow White’s “Some Day My Prince Will Come” at the top of her lungs. Her prince did in fact arrive and Storm was able to have her fairytale moment as a Simply Weddings Bride!
After graduating in International Business, Storm jumped straight into Technology Recruitment and after 9 years looked for an opportunity for a career change after relocating to the US from London. With a passion for people (and process) and value for the human connection above all, she fell in love with the wedding planning and is excited to continue learning and becoming immersed in the industry.
Storm enjoys cocktails in the sun, all the guilty foods and adventures with her husband and adorable boy Arrio.

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.

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
I can not thank enough Simply Weddings Cristina and Lexi for prepping and also making my wedding day run smoothly! Cristina was very professional, sweet, helpful and with a great calming personality. She made sure everything was covered on my wedding day with the other vendors. I love how detailed oriented she was and very organized.
