Founder, CEO & Certified Wedding Consultant

What does a “successful” wedding feel like to you?

A successful wedding, feels like a day that is by lead by the couples love for each other. Where the vendor team comes together with intentionality, professionalism and grace to make the magic happen.  

What’s one thing you always remind your couples on their wedding day?

Slow down and take it all in. We have planned so well and now is the time for you to relax, be present and enjoy the beginning of your marriage. That is the true reason we are all here so that we can start you marriage journey off with a beautiful beginning.

What’s one wedding moment that still sticks with you?

A father of the bride was in the ICU the week of his daughter’s wedding and was able to get well enough to be released on Thursday but he would be wheelchair bound through the wedding.  The bride’s brother was going to push the wheelchair to escort his dad and sister down the aisle. Right before we opened the large church doors to Our Lady of Sorrow’s, the father got up out of his wheelchair and said, I am walking my daughter down the aisle. He stood up, we opened the doors and they made it down the aisle. There was not a dry eye in the church. I had to collect myself before I could go in and sit down. I still can’t tell the story without getting teary.

What’s one thing you always have in your event day bag?

Twizzlers

What’s your ideal Saturday when you’re not working a wedding?

Home with my family.

    SINGLE BEST DECISION WE MADE

    Working with Kindra was the single BEST decision we made in our whole wedding process. The stress of the daunting “to-do” list we had to complete over the next 11 months instantly melted away when we first met with Kindra. With her expertise and connections, she hand-picked vendors that fit perfectly with our wedding vision, personality, and budget. We could not have asked for a more super-star vendor team. Our wedding day was executed flawlessly by Kindra and her team. From the day-of timeline, vendor communication, and décor set-up to the moment we walked out of the venue at the end of the night, we did not have to worry about anything! We could not have imagined a more enjoyable wedding planning process or a more amazing wedding, and it’s all thanks to Kindra!

    wedding of our dreams

    We had the wedding of our dreams thanks to Kindra Browne and her team at Simple Elegance! She is a fantastic planner with an eye for detail. From the beginning Kindra was incredibly organized, calming, professional, and one of those people when you meet them you feel like you have already known them for years. Kindra goes above and beyond to provide recommendations for vendors, constantly communicate with not only vendors but also the wedding party and family, and manage any changes that come up throughout the process. I was incredibly calm the day of knowing she was in charge and the day went perfectly! If anything went wrong, I had no idea, and I think that is a true testament of what an amazing planner Kindra is. Thank you SO much for everything Kindra. We are forever grateful for Simple Elegance and can’t recommend them enough!

    extraordinary

    Kindra Browne of Simple Elegance is extraordinary. Because of Kindra, our daughter and son-in-law had the most beautiful, memorable, happy, and fun wedding anyone could ask for – an amazing feat following two postponements that resulted from Covid-19. We knew we were in very capable hands from our first meeting with Kindra. She was warm, friendly, and organized, and she listened so that she could create the wedding day our daughter wanted. She recommended and worked closely with our venue, florists, musicians, always giving us exceptional, level-headed guidance. What we didn’t know then, is that Kindra also would move mountains to get us through the challenges of Covid, and postponements that delayed the wedding for a year. We had complete confidence through every challenge, continually impressed with Kindra’s grace, warmth, kindness, expertise, and peerless work ethic. And because of Kindra and her staff, our daughter and I were able to enjoy every minute of her wedding day without a single concern.  We look forward to working with Kindra and Simple Elegance on another wedding some day!
