We believe wedding planning should be easy. We work hard to create a dream wedding experience that suits you and your partner perfectly. If you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed, or if you just want to hand the difficult ‘stuff’ over to an expert, an award-winning wedding planner can really help.
We can help organize your wedding, keep your wedding day on schedule, or help you with your wedding styling and decorating. Either way, we take charge so you can relax. And we’re always here to help! This is the most important day in your life – it shouldn’t be the most stressful, too.
Remember that an average wedding takes about 250 hours to plan. We use our wedding planning expertise to ensure that everything is just the way you want it on your special day.
You remain in control, but you can relax, too. We simply take care of the ‘to-do’s’ so you can focus on your ‘I-do’s’, and have the wedding day you’ve always dreamed of.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We're Victoria BC Wedding Planning and Event Planning Experts! We can create a stress-free day. We are skilled at predicting and preventing potential mishaps and fixing any that do arise quickly and quietly, too. We’re here to support your decisions, calm your nerves, answer your questions, and guide you through the wedding process.
We want you to have fun, and not be concerned with any details.
Who Do You Usually Work With?
Our best client fit is someone who is naturally organized but has never coordinated and event of this size, so they are unsure what could go wrong, or what event logistics they should be foreseeing. We also work with clients planning a destination wedding. We'd love to hear from you.
Our Venue Has An Events Person Already. Do We Need A Planner Too?
Venue managers are very helpful with issues regarding their facilities. They are often responsible for renting/booking the space and managing their serving and setup staff. However, it is not typically in their scope to assist you much beyond this. They do not know the many details of your wedding day timeline other than the most basic information as per your contract with them. So we still have lots of work to do!
We orientate your arriving vendors and direct them, ensure your décor is as you planned, greet your guests and wedding celebrant, and run your rehearsal and wedding ceremony, cocktail reception and dinner. We are involved with and manage all the actual details. And we’re the main go-to person for everyone, including vendors, guests, the wedding party, the Master of Ceremony, and even the Venue Manager.
How Does The Process Work?
Email us for a consultation. Then during the consultation, we’ll get to know each other, as we hear your thoughts and expectations for your wedding. We’ll also discuss what services we can help you with. After your consultation, we’ll customize a package just for you.
Once your package details are settled and you’re ready to get started with your wedding plans, we’ll do a contract together and collect a deposit fee to secure our services for your wedding day. Then the real fun starts – we’ll get your first planning appointment on the calendar, and it’s off we go, planning and designing your dream wedding!
