Wedding Rehearsal

This was the absolute perfect venue for our small 30 person wedding this past November. The different rooms within are ideal for breaking up the space for various points of the wedding day (i.e. bridal suite, cocktail hour, ceremony, dinner and dance). Also, the space itself is so stunning and fit our aesthetic perfectly. Being November, we did most of our wedding photos inside Archive Studio and it was a beautiful backdrop to our day.

We had a small wedding (ceremony/reception) at Archive and it was such an amazing experience. The studio space itself is beautiful, and allows you a blank slate to bring in your own elements to make it your own. We loved the ambiance of the space and had such a great experience throughout booking/touring the space, too.

Archive Studio is one of my favourite studios for indoor portraits! The mix of organic modern aesthetics and rustic brick walls gives it a unique feel. The large windows flood the place with natural light, offering tons of backdrops for the shoot. The spaciousness of the studio makes it ideal for hosting intimate ceremonies, receptions, or for capturing a range of images during a photoshoot. Highly recommended!

Archive is a true gem when it comes to Toronto studio rentals or for hosting intimate weddings or gatherings. It is super unique and the staff are incredibly organised and personable. Strongly recommend.

Archive is one of my favourite studios! I've photographed families, portraits and events there. Each time I'm there they've added something new. The decor, arched doors, long romantic curtains, lighting and location really set them apart from other studio spaces. When I photographed a surprise proposal the team at Archive was kind, accommodating and helped play along with the surprise. I can’t say enough good things about them. The proof is in the pudding.

Barb created a unique experience for our small elopement. She helped us with any questions we had, and made such an important milestone, stress free. We couldn’t be more grateful.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Barb as our officiant for our civil ceremony in the arboretum, and we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful experience. From the very beginning, Barb was warm, kind, and so attentive to every detail. She made the entire process simple and stress-free, guiding us through each step and making sure our ceremony reflected exactly who we are as a couple.
On the day itself, Barb brought such a calming presence — she made us feel grounded, present, and fully able to soak in the moment. Her words were heartfelt and thoughtful, creating a ceremony that was intimate, meaningful, and so perfectly “us.” Our friends and family commented on how lovely and personal the ceremony felt, which is all thanks to Barb’s care and talent.
We are so grateful for her role in making our wedding day so special. If you are looking for someone who is professional, compassionate, and truly dedicated to creating a beautiful ceremony, we cannot recommend Barb enough!

Barbara was amazing she really captured who we are in our ceremony to make our wedding so special,took her time and was extremely prepared and patient and never once rushed is. A true professional in everyway. She even handed me a cute little package with a bow that said for happy tears that I thought was such a beautiful touch. We could not have chosen someone better for our day. We truly recommend her to anyone that loves personal touches on their special day.

Barb is an absolute sweetheart! She came to our house on short notice and provided such a beautiful little ceremony. She was so kind, professional, and helpful. She made our day so much less stressful. I would recommend her to everyone :)

We recently had the absolute pleasure of being married by Barbara Peters (Be Wed by Barb), and we truly couldn’t have asked for a more caring, kind, and heartwarming officiant. From the moment we connected with her, she made us feel at ease and supported — like we were in the best hands possible.

Our ceremony was intimate and full of emotion, and Barb captured the spirit of our love perfectly. Her warmth, professionalism, and gentle presence made our elopement feel so special and meaningful.

We are so grateful to have had her be part of our forever. Thank you, Barb, for making our day unforgettable. Highly, highly recommend!

We had our wedding at Bleeks and Bergamot in July 2025 at their beautiful new Riverside Venue and had the best experience! Bailey was an absolute star from the beginning, very helpful and considerate, always taking the time to answer my never-ending questions. The venue takes care of so many things that made planning a wedding so much easier - they even did our florals! Christine, our day-of-coordinator was also great and helped ensure everything went smoothly leading up to and on the big day. They truly do everything they can to ensure your special day is how you envision it. We would definitely recommend having your wedding here, you won't regret it!

We managed to snag the last date available at this venue for 2024 due to a cancellation from another couple and we are SO happy we did. Bailey and her team at B&B are absolutely phenomenal. Their communication leading up to our wedding and during our planning was impeccable. They always responded within 24 hours and answered all our questions. We felt confident that things would be well handled. Unfortunately, we had some on and off rain during our wedding day and Bailey and her team actually moved the chairs for our ceremony between the inside and outside area THREE times between rain showers before finally settling on having an outdoor ceremony when the rain stopped. They were readily available with umbrellas and everything we needed. They managed a lot of the coordination day of, and reduced a lot of our stress! The venue is absolutely beautiful, so if you’re considering this venue do yourself a favour and book it! You won’t regret it!

Bailey also did our wedding bouquets, boutonnières and arch pieces. The bouquets were EXACTLY what I wanted. The colour palette matched perfectly, and all the floral pieces were breathtaking.

What a beautiful location to host an event. At first glance, the corn field kind of hid it's location but once you got back to the facility, it was absolutely amazing. Hosts were super sweet and very easy to talk too. They provided games for our event. They also had a bar and very clean/well kept bathrooms. Highly recommend if your looking for a vendor

We had our wedding here middle of October and only have good things to say! Bailey and Rebecca were amazing and super helpful through out the whole process with recommendations and suggestions for all of my questions! Having the bridal suite and grooms area is a huge bonus for day of getting ready. So many of our guests commented on how stunning the venue was!
Will definitely be suggesting the venue to all our friends and family in the future. And hopefully will be back in 10 years for a vow renewal!

Our wedding at Bleeks and Bergamot was a dream come true!

Communication with Bailey and Rebecca leading up to our day was so simple, putting any of our worries at ease. We felt we were in excellent hands every step of the way. We especially loved that there were no hidden fees for every little thing, something we encountered at many other venues. Right away, Bailey provided us with a lot of information, making it easy to find our other vendors.

We had many opportunities to see the venue prior to our day, which helped to build excitement and envision our day.

The bridal suite is the perfect place for getting ready with your girls. Being adjacent to the creek made it the perfect spot for our first look photos as well as photos with our immediate family. We didn't have to worry about guests seeing us as they arrived since this property is down the road from the main venue.

The layout of the main property is fantastic. Our guests still rave about how fantastic our venue was and how everyone felt a part of the crowd no matter if they were on the dancefloor or enjoying a conversation. For the crowd that wanted quiet area to chat, the courtyard provided the perfect space. With the 5 large barn doors open, it still felt like everyone was in one space, which was especially important to us.

We can't thank Bailey and Rebecca enough for all that they did to make our dream day come true!

We couldn’t have chosen a more perfect place to celebrate our elopement! The team at Bliss Chapel made everything feel so effortless, intimate, and beautiful. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and cared for. The space itself is charming, cozy, and elegant — exactly what we envisioned for such a special moment.

The staff paid attention to every detail, making sure our ceremony felt personal and meaningful. What could have been stressful turned out to be smooth, joyful, and truly unforgettable. For couples looking for a simple yet magical way to say “I do,” Bliss Chapel is the perfect choice. 💍💐

Thank you so much Judith! She's amazing from start to finish. The venue is cute and neat. There's also a beautiful open field behind the building.
You made this a wonderful experience and I appreciate you.

Judith was incredible from start to finish! We chose to have our ceremony in an open field that’s behind her building & it has a mini park, and she made everything flow so beautifully in the outdoor setting. I was quite nervous about the process and had a million questions, but she was so patient and helpful, always ready to provide answers and guidance. Whether by text or call, she was incredibly responsive, which made everything feel so much easier. Her prices are very reasonable, and the support she provides throughout the entire process is invaluable. I’m beyond happy we chose Judith as our officiant—if I could book her again, I would! Highly recommend—BOOK HER!

Judith was incredibly kind ,patient and very warm .She even offered to take pictures of everyone after the ceremony .She made our day very special .Thank you Judith for the awesome service 🙏

Judith is an amazing person. She's very welcoming and makes you feel comfortable and happy .the place is beautiful and I felt I was in the right place. Just how I imagined it. Thank you Judith for your great service and to welcome my new year as expected. I highly recommend Judith for any wedding occasion that you want to plan. She's the best .her smile and welcoming me ment alot to me. Judith u did a great job in making us feel very special...
Thanks Jernelle 01.01.2025

We could have chosen no better officiant for our ceremony. Before our wedding, we took part in Martin's Marriage Preparation course which taught us about thinking intentionally about our values and how to blend those values and understand each other better. And for the weeks leading up to our ceremony, Martin helped craft a beautifully written ceremony that truly captured our relationship. He drew on humour, kindness and authenticity which was felt both by us and all of our loved ones.

Working with Martin at Ceremonies With Choice to bring our wedding ceremony to life was both a privilege and an honour. His kindness, patience, and impeccable humour made our experience working together so wonderful, and we can't recommend him enough for your special day.

As a thoughtful and engaged listener, Martin has a unique ability to highlight the most memorable bits of a love story while expertly weaving them into the ceremony. It was gratifying to hear from several of our guests that the ceremony was one of their favourites, praising Martin for his ease and grace throughout. We'd do it all over with him again in a heartbeat.

We can't recommend Martin enough! We are so grateful for the time he took in our initial meetings to truly get to know us as a couple. He then used that understanding to craft a ceremony story that was so personal and heartfelt. When you're with Martin, you feel comfortable, warm, and completely at ease. All of our friends and family were raving about how he made the ceremony feel like a beautiful story, and not just a formality. Thank you, Martin, for making our special day just that much more incredible!

No words to describe how incredible it was to have Martin officiate our wedding. From our first meeting, right through to when he pronounced us husband and wife, he was an absolute pleasure to work with. A true professional, and also so personable. He took the time to get to know us, listened to our story, and understood our vision for our wedding, and then he created the most beautiful, customized ceremony that felt just like us. The ceremony was perfectly timed, seamless and intimate. It was truly beyond our dreams. Martin touched our lives and was present during one of the most special moments of our lives, and we will be forever grateful for his warmth, kindness and care. Hands down recommended.

Martin is the best there is! He officiated our ceremony this past September, and it was perfect.

Martin is a warm, calm, funny, and thoughtful presence - a true professional. He was happy to work with how simple we wanted our ceremony, and it turned out exactly as we’d hoped.

Many of our guests mentioned how great he was, and we would very highly recommend him to anyone!

Thank you so much, Martin!

I had the absolute pleasure of having my wedding planned by Clement & Co., and to say they exceeded my expectations would be an understatement. We chose the full wedding package, and I’m so grateful we did. From the very first planning meeting to the final execution, every detail was handled with care and precision.

Lauren, our lead planner, was truly incredible. She was attentive, organized, and went above and beyond every step of the way. Her dedication and calm presence turned what could have been a stressful experience into something truly enjoyable. I felt fully supported throughout the entire journey.

If you’re looking for a team that will treat your special day like their own, I highly, highly recommend Clement & Co. Events—especially Lauren. You won’t regret putting your trust in them

Alex and her team at Blush & Bowties are truly amazing at what they do, and my husband and I are so grateful for the beautiful work they did to create the wedding of our dreams. Alex is an artist and came up with a vision for our day that felt personal to us yet beautiful beyond what we had imagined. Thanks to her, the entire planning process was simple and straightforward, and she was so clear, kind and organized every step of the way. On our wedding day, everything ran so smoothly and we didn’t have to worry about anything. Her team made sure we had everything we needed and every detail was so thoughtfully considered. Thank you so much Alex! We will forever be grateful for your part in our wedding.

When it came to planning our wedding, choosing Blush and Bowties as our wedding planners was easily the best decision we made. Being busy in our careers, spending hours planning a wedding was not something we wanted to do. Claire made the whole process seem easy - even though we know, without a doubt, that she was doing so much hard work behind the scenes. She is incredibly organized and communicative and brought our vision to life. Her attention to detail and organization is unmatched. Our wedding day was incredibly relaxing from the beginning to the end, and also a perfect reflection of us as a couple. We cannot recommend Blush and Bowties enough.

Alex and her team were absolutely amazing every step of the way through planning, communication, and wedding day execution! My husband and I live in the US and were planning our wedding in Toronto. We knew we wanted a planner that could go to vendor meetings, meet via zoom, and could make it all come together for us as we were out of the country. We chose to work with Blush and Bowties because of their attention to detail, intentional designs, their focus on the experience of your day, and their overall enthusiasm for taking on the planning of our wedding!

From the very beginning Alex provided mood boards that were exactly aligned with what our hopes and dreams for our wedding day would look like, we worked off of those and a 3D rendering to carefully and intentionally choose all of the details and decor. Alex sourced the best florists and vendors to take on the vision of our wedding and make it come to life. She gave options and never pushed us towards the most expensive option and guided us through what would be the most impactful on our budget. It was so helpful to have her give us timelines of when the dress should be ordered, when to send out invites, what sites to use for RSVPs, she kept our timeline on track and stress free! She is kind, funny, organized, thoughtful and calm.

Seeing her work her magic and be the director of the whole production of the day was truly inspiring. She is an expert and works endlessly for a seamless hassle free day for the bride and groom. I felt nothing but ease and trust in her as I knew she was amazing as what she does. Our wedding day could not have been any better!! If any hiccup came up, she immediately and calmly found a solution. Having her plan the wedding was one thing, but then seeing her coordinate our wedding day was a whole other thing that she so effortlessly did with a smile on her face! She is truly the fairy godmother every bride needs on her wedding day!!

I loved being as hands on as possible with Alex to figure out details and design ideas because I enjoy it, but I know she would be the best person to work with even if you didn't come with any ideas and wanted someone to just take it away and do their thing to make a beautiful and memorable wedding! She looks outside the box, knows what's trending, knows what's boring, knows what should be skipped and what's important, and is always up for doing something unexpected and untraditional!

10/10 highly recommend Alex and her team! We truly can't thank her enough for creating our dream day! Wish we could do it all again!

If you are looking for a planner and wondering if it's worth it, it 100% is!! I wouldn't have changed a thing!! They will allow you to enjoy every second of your wedding planning process and your wedding day without worry! They create life time memories that we will cherish forever!

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! We love you!

Alex is the consummate professional. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of all things wedding-related, an enviable network throughout the city and wider region, a perfectionist's approach to client relations, and one of the finest eyes for design I've ever had the honour of working with. This is all on top of her exquisite taste.

Without Alex our wedding would not have happened; even if it did happen, it would have looked nothing like the elevated and elegant affair that it was. We're lucky to have found Alex, and we're lucky to be able to call her a friend. Do yourself a favour and give her a shout.

Love this space

His music adds elegance, energy, and a memorable touch to any event. Whether you want classical, modern, or electric violin performances, Sammy is the go-to choice for all your violin needs.

I have had the pleasure of attending multiple performances by Sammy. He is a remarkably talented violinist known for his ability to perform a wide range of musical genres. Sammy brings elegance, professionalism to each piece, infusing passion into every note. His engagement with the guest commendable; he interacts with the crowd in a respectful and responsive manner, effectively maintaining a lively atmosphere throughout the event.

For those seeking an unforgettable experience and a memorable musical journey, I wholeheartedly recommend Sammy for your next event. I look forward to seeing him perform again in the future.

We hired Sammy Violin for a corporate event and couldn’t have been more impressed. He was incredibly professional, disciplined, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. His performance added elegance and warmth to the evening, creating a sophisticated atmosphere that our guests absolutely loved.

Beyond his talent as a violinist, Sammy is also a kind and reliable person who clearly loves what he does—you can feel his passion in every note. We received so many compliments about the music, and it truly became one of the highlights of the night. Highly recommended for any professional or private event. Looking forward to seeing him at future events!🎻🤍

We had Sammy perform for our wedding ceremony and reception and he was absolutely incredible. All the guests loved him and he made our wedding very intimate and special. We did not make it easy for him as we had outdoor and indoor incorporated for the wedding, but he accommodated every request even on short notice. Definitely a must-have for your wedding and/or private events and we highly recommend him. Thank you Sammy V!

Absolutely astonishing! Toronto Sammy is not just a violin player — he is a world-class violinist and electric violinist who transforms every performance into pure magic. From the very first note, I was completely captivated. The passion, precision, and emotion he pours into his music left me speechless. It felt as though the violin was alive in his hands, telling stories beyond words.

Whether it’s a wedding, corporate event, or private event, Toronto Sammy elevates the atmosphere and creates unforgettable memories. His presence lights up the room and leaves guests in awe long after the performance ends. I’ve never experienced anything so moving and electrifying at the same time.

If you’re looking for a guest wedding violinist or an extraordinary performer for your next event in Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Montreal, or even Vancouver, look no further — Toronto Sammy is the ultimate choice. Truly one of the most unforgettable musical experiences I’ve ever had! 🎻✨

We had Elena play at our wedding for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner—and she was absolutely incredible! Her music elevated the entire experience and created such a beautiful atmosphere. She brought a fun, lively personality and charmed everyone with her talent. Our guests are still raving about how much they enjoyed her performance!

Elena was absolutely incredible, and her performance at both our ceremony and reception added such a beautiful, unforgettable touch to our wedding day. Her talent and passion for music were evident in every note she played, creating the perfect atmosphere for each part of the celebration. From the emotional moments during the ceremony to the lively energy at the reception, she knew exactly how to set the mood. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about her, and we were blown away by how she elevated the entire experience. Elena was truly a highlight of our day!

booking Elena was one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding - she elevated the experience so much and did an amazing job entertaining guests with the violin and harp. she looked so stunning and classy and she has such a nice and fun personality. she had fantastic communication and was super easy to book!! thank you Elena!!!

We recently had the pleasure of hosting Elena at our company holiday party, and the experience was nothing short of enchanting. Her unique combination of harp, violin, and piano created a beautifully floating ambiance that perfectly complemented the festive spirit of the evening. This multitalented artist not only showcased incredible musical skill but also exuded a classy and eloquent presence throughout the event. Overall, the performance was a delightful highlight of our celebration, leaving a lasting impression on everyone in attendance. We highly recommend Elena for any event seeking a touch of elegance and sophistication.

Title: An Unforgettable Musical Experience with Elena
I recently had the pleasure of hiring Elena a professional Musician for my nephew’s wedding held at the prestigious Old Mill on June 8. From the moment I discovered her profile, I knew she was something special. Her talent as a musician is unparalleled, and her kindness and professionalism made the entire experience delightful.

During the event, Elena’s performance was nothing short of magical. She began by playing the piano during cocktail hour, setting the perfect ambiance. Her grace and skill were evident as she moved seamlessly from one instrument to another. First, her Swarovski violin enchanted everyone during the couple’s first dance. Then, during the evening at dinner service, she played a strolling harp—yes, while it moved!! And after accompanied by her LED violin, which added a modern twist, and even included some Bollywood hits, which my guests adored!

But the highlight and surprise of the evening was Elena’s voice. It was nothing short of incredible. When she sang, time seemed to stand still. We didn’t want her to stop. My guests are still raving about her days later!

Would I recommend Elena? Absolutely! One million percent! If you’re planning an event, book her without hesitation. Her passion for music shines through, and she’ll elevate any occasion. On a personal note, Elena, thank you for being an inspiration. You’re now our go-to musician for all family events—I can’t wait for the next one!

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Emily as a second photographer for Jessica Samyn, at Julianne & Christian’s wedding at Maison Principale. It was such a joy to finally witness her work up close. I’ve been following her on Instagram for a while and have always been impressed, but seeing her creations in real life was something else. Her talent is absolutely flawless — every detail was refined, and the overall design was nothing short of magical and grand. Truly inspiring work from a visionary planner!

Emilie was truly a godsend. From the very beginning, she made the entire planning process feel seamless and stress-free. Her talent, organization, and attention to detail are unmatched. She took the time to understand our vision and brought it to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined.

Thanks to her, my wife and I had the wedding of our dreams and more. Every detail was perfect, and we were able to truly enjoy the day knowing she had everything under control. We can’t say enough good things about her. If you want your wedding to be the best day of your life (without the stress), she's the one. THANK YOU!

I highly recommend EmEvents!
I inquired their services to help me create the wedding of my dreams! Both Emily and Sam are great listeners and hard workers. They pay attention to detail and will not stop until the job is done. Wedding planning is very stressful, and as a very involved bride, I was very pleased that Emily, Sam and their team were able to make my experience a 10/10 with their impeccable service. I trusted them 100 percent and they exceeded my expectations! My wedding was one of a kind. Emily kept everything on a schedule, nothing was missing or out of place. The entire day rolled smoothly. Even if there was a hiccup on my end, they made it come together flawlessly without notice. They are the absolute best planners in Canada. I cannot get over how beautiful everything came together. Their touch is like no other.

Thank you girls!
With love, Kayla George

If you’re looking for someone to plan your event/wedding, Em Events is the one to book! I was planning a small wedding and SO MANY things went wrong!!! Less than 10 days prior to the date, Em Events saved my wedding!! I can’t explain how comforting she is! Emily has tremendous empathy and professionalism, her years of experience in the field is remarkable and shows as she thinks about every single detail!!! Would 1000000% recommend!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Emilie should be your first call after getting engaged. The most organized wedding planner in the city. She made my wedding day the most special day of my life. No stress and everything was perfection. I got to enjoy every second of my wedding and it was everything I wanted and more. I can’t recommend enough.

We are so happy we chose Caroline as our month-of-coordinator! She went above and beyond to make our wedding day seamless and stress-free.

Caroline took the initiative to contact all of our vendors, ensuring they had the information they needed and were aligned with one another. She created a detailed wedding day timeline and shared it with everyone involved, which kept everything running smoothly. She also helped us build a photo list so our photographers knew exactly what moments we wanted captured, and she supported us in finalizing a detailed seating plan.

What really stood out was how much she took off our plate. Caroline independently sent emails and coordinated logistics with vendors, giving us so much peace of mind in the final weeks. When we first hired her six weeks out, the only vendors we were still missing were a limo service, hair stylists, and makeup artists—and she helped us find all three. For the limo, she even identified the cost of each option and created a spreadsheet so we could easily compare and choose. That level of organization made the decision-making process so much easier.

The day before our wedding, Caroline attended our rehearsal and collaborated with our officiant to make sure the ceremony ran smoothly.

On our wedding day, she set up many of our decor items, including guest name cards, table numbers, our guestbook, beverage dispensers, signature cocktail signs, wedding favours, and more. She also came prepared for anything on the big day—with scissors, pins, and even a glue gun! It’s that kind of thoughtful, hands-on help that made such a difference.

We are incredibly grateful for all the care, professionalism, and support Caroline provided. We highly recommend Caroline!

We asked for help from Caroline about one or two months before our wedding. We thought we could manage the wedding without a planner, but we soon realized we couldn’t make decisions! Once Caroline jumped into our plan, she made everything so quick and easy. I just had some ideas, and she helped me a lot in finalizing details and bringing ideas to life. She understood everything I wanted for our wedding! Thank you, Caroline, again. Highly recommended!

Thank you Caroline for organizing and coordinating our wedding :) Caroline was absolutely a delight to work with and really ensured that everything on our big day went smoothly and calmed our nerves throughout the process. We are really appreciative of her expertise and resourcefulness! Thank you again for guiding us through this process, you made everything feel easy and brought our vision to life.

Caroline was super helpful in coordinating the plan for our wedding. We opted for the month before package and are so glad we did! We thought we had everything organized, but after a couple meetings we realized there were a few things we missed that only a professional would know to look out for. She provided perfect direction to allow the day to run seamlessly! She is very well organized, detail oriented, and the setup was flawless!

Caroline and her team were lovely and am so happy with the service provided by En Pointe weddings!

My wife and I cannot thank Caroline enough for all the hard work she put into our dream wedding. She is kind, detail oriented, extremely organized, and SO wonderful to work with. She handled everything from finding vendors, to all the correspondence, to setting timelines for things that needed to get done, to event management on the day of.

We had a huge snow storm night before our wedding and our hair & makeup team cancelled on us the morning of. She took control of the situation immediately, said to us "don't worry, drink some coffee, I'll handle this" and found a makeup and hair team in an hour that turned out to be even better than who we initially hired.

My wife and I are both not particularly organized and we're both extremely busy. Our wedding would never have happened without Caroline's help. If you're ever in doubt about hiring a wedding planner, it was the best decision we ever made. And if you are looking at hiring a wedding planner, Caroline is the best decision YOU will ever make. I cannot sing her praises enough. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for everything!

I waited a few weeks to write this review because I needed time to truly reflect on everything Erica did for our wedding. The headline is simple: say yes to Erica. Don’t hesitate—just do it. Hiring her was the best investment we made for our wedding. In return, we gained a planner, a coach, a therapist, a supporter, a family mediator, a design consultant, and, most importantly, a friend.

Vendor Dream Team:
One of the biggest “thank goodness for Erica” moment was realizing that she was behind 95% of our incredible vendor team. What sets Erica apart is that she’s not just connecting you to vendors—she’s matchmaking. She considers your budget and availability, of course, but more impressively, she thinks deeply about personality and vibe. She ensures that your vendors are not only professionals but people who match your energy and the vision for your day. This made the planning process smoother and more enjoyable, and it made the wedding day itself feel like a collaboration with people who truly got us. All thanks to Erica’s insight and connections.

Complete Trust:
I can’t count the number of times we faced a decision and I found myself saying, “Erica, I don’t know what the right choice is—but I trust you to make the call on the day.” And wow, did she deliver. From the very beginning, I knew I could trust Erica completely to bring our vision to life. That trust meant that on the wedding day, we could simply enjoy ourselves. We didn’t worry about a single detail—because Erica had every one of them covered (She also day of taught me how to fold my pocket square… life saver).

Fun Throughout the Process:
It was important to us that wedding planning didn’t feel like a chore—it should be a joy. Erica made that possible. Even though most of our meetings were over Zoom, we looked forward to every one. She matched our energy perfectly and made the entire process—from planning to the wedding weekend itself—fun, easy, and memorable. Not every planner brings that kind of lightness. Erica does.

Meticulous:
Perfection might seem like a baseline expectation for a planner, but Erica brings it to a whole other level. She is incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and a true perfectionist—in the best way. She also helped us be thoughtful about where to invest and where to scale back, never pushing us to spend more just for the sake of it. Her goal is a perfect wedding, not an expensive one. And she and her team absolutely delivered.

We’re endlessly grateful to Erica and her team—Farhan, Cara, Claire—for creating the most magical, meaningful day of our lives. Yes, a planner can feel like a big expense when you’re first starting out. But for us, it was hands-down the best decision we made. Because of Erica.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

As a wedding decorator!! I have had the pleasure of work with Erica Irwin and her amazing team on beautiful weddings.
I cannot recommend Erica enough. Their professional, passion, dedication, and expertise turned what could have been a stressful experience into an enjoyable and magical journey. Erica & team that will go above and beyond to make your day extraordinary, Erica have beautiful heart of gold🤍 thank you for creating memories that we will cherish forever!

I recently photographed a wedding that Erica partially planned. She is amazing, her attention to detail and organization is unmatched !! She is the perfect combination of organized and calm. I 10/10 recommend her to alllll clients

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Erica, and I can't express how grateful we are for her incredible work. From the very first meeting, which was under a year from the wedding date, she was organized, attentive, and genuinely interested in understanding our vision. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, which made all the difference in planning a wedding that felt uniquely "us."
Erica has an invaluable number of connections in this industry which she was ready to dip into at any time. She’s extremely communicative and very responsive. We came across a “bride’s nightmare” during the planning processes when we were informed that our wedding got double booked at the Cathedral a few months into the planning process. Erica delt with the issues very professionally and made us realize how invaluable a wedding planner is.
On the day of the wedding, Erica was nothing short of amazing. She managed every detail with consideration and professionalism allowing us to relax and truly enjoy our day. She coordinated with vendors seamlessly, handled any unexpected issues without missing a beat, and kept everything running on schedule. Her calm demeanor and problem-solving skills ensured that we could be fully present with our guests without worrying about a single thing. Having done our wedding at the National Gallery of Canada, Erica was crucial in managing all the vendors that had to be brought in for the event. The décor, the flow of the event, and even the small personal touches she suggested were all perfect. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful and well-organized everything was!
If you're looking for a wedding planner who is not only highly skilled but also a joy to work with, we wholeheartedly recommend Erica. She made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free, and we can't thank her enough for making our wedding day truly unforgettable. Thank you Erica!

Where to start..?
There is so much to say about how exceptional Erica is as a personal and even more as a planner.

When we got started in the wedding planning, we didn’t realize how much we needed a planner.
We didn’t need just any planner… We needed the experience and professionalism that Erica provides.

Erica has provided support, guidance, amazing insight we would never have thought about and a service of quality!

The wedding industry can be overwhelming but Erica made us feel at ease amongst all the details of the planning. She guided us through everything we should know and advices on our venue, Fairmont Château Laurier.

We definitely had a few hiccups along the way, shedding a few tears and even wondering if we should just elope… But Erica was the fairy god mother we needed and we are so thankful we had her by our side. She helped us manage the hiccups with had and did the necessary for us to have the wedding of our dreams.

Erica and her team are the best! Truly so thankful for everyone that was involved in the planning of our wedding. We got to live the most beautiful day of our life but we know we had lots of people running in the background to make that day feel magical and special for us.

You want someone that will care for your special day and if you are lucky enough, you get a planner that has a heart of gold.
I would 100000% recommend having Erica and her team by your side. Our wedding day and our experience planning would not have been the same without Erica.

When I say I had a TRAILER FULL of decorations, including 3 arches and over 12 bins of decor, I ain’t kidding! Fiona and her incredible team didn’t even flinch. Fiona is highly organized. Here is another professional in the wedding industry who knows what to do and has an impeccable eye for detail. Fiona is a talented stylist / decorator and brought my wedding vision to life. While I did not hire her to be my day-of wedding coordinator (as I didn’t need it with my venue), I know she offers this service as well and would highly recommend her and her company!

Fiona is AMAZING! 😻

She is organized, efficient, clear, and so passionate about her work! She takes the time to really understand you and your desires for your event, and does all that she can to bring it together. She has impeccable taste and an amazing eye for design! Our wedding would not have run as smoothly without Fiona. She thinks of all the little details you don’t even realize!

Hands down I would recommend Fiona for any of your events! ✨

Fiona Lau and her team were invaluable to our wedding planning. We paid for Full Planning and I recommend this package for every couple who can afford a wedding planner (very reasonable prices). Fiona is the perfect balance of highly organized and going with the flow; ensuring important issues are promptly addressed while not letting minor details bog us down. She is exceptionally team-oriented ensuring that I, André and all the vendors felt like we were all on the same page. She was crucial to making our planning process and wedding so enjoyable.

Some of my favourite moments:
- When our first officiant had to cancel (many months before the wedding thankfully), Fiona helped us book a new amazing officiant within 24 hours.
- When we had the final meeting with our venue, Fiona did all the heavy lifting so Andre and I spent most of that meeting in our own world admiring the venue. We only chimed in when they needed our opinion.
- My mother coming into my bridal suite saying, "What is this?! I am the mother of the bride, I am supposed to be stressed but I have nothing to do!"
- During the wedding, I was completely in the moment without a worry. Everything was magically in the right place during the event. Even when I got home, I went through all my stuff worried that something had been forgotten at the venue but it was all in place...I don't even know when they did that but I know that was Fiona and Danielle's doing!

I am absolutely happy with my decision to hire Fiona as a coordinator with partial planning support for my wedding in 2023. If you are planning a wedding and wondering if these services are worthwhile, they absolutely are and will make the entire process and day-of much, much less stressful.

This review will be long, but I wanted to provide as much detail as possible to help you make an informed decision and know what to expect.

Fiona was very professional, kind, and patient throughout the entire process. We met regularly both in-person and virtually on a monthly or bi-monthly basis, where Fiona would check up on our progress and identify what we needed to do next. As we did not have family in the area who could help us, we found her recommendations and checklists vital to our success.

She helped us by pulling together a vision board complete with the colours we'd chosen to help with decorative aspects and finding the perfect venue. She was happy to provide a list of vendor recommendations, but definitely was not pushy and will work with anyone you have chosen.

She set up templates to document and track our budget, decorations, guest list and more. All of this is done in Google Drive and easily accessed and shared with whoever needs to be involved.

Once we'd chosen and contacted vendors, Fiona attended many of our meetings with them. This is very helpful because she asked so many questions that I had never even thought of to ensure all bases are covered. She reviewed our contracts before we signed and highlight anything which seemed non-standard, missing, or that we should clarify. This was very reassuring given the amount of money at stake.

Fiona developed the schedule for the day and worked with the coordinator at the venue and with all of our vendors. The day of, Fiona and her staff were basically *the* fairy crew. Fiona's team received all of our deliveries, in some cases picked things up for us, ensured that the venue was set up, kept the day on running schedule, stepped in to help wherever it is needed, and also helps the wedding parties as they get ready and during photos.

As a result, our day was fun, stress free, and absolutely worth it.

Don't hesitate to hire Fiona!

Fiona was a superstar helping us plan our wedding! From our first conversation she made me and my husband feel so comfortable and it was so clear to us that not only is she an amazing support, she definitely takes charge! Our communication lasted for over a year and she kept us on track for acquiring vendors, and coming up with our vision for the day. By the time our wedding rolled around, I was very comfortable knowing that Fiona had our backs and was going to make it the best day possible so that we could relax and just enjoy ourselves. The definite highlight of working with Fiona was the wedding day and knowing that she had everything under control.

Held a small (under 50 person) wedding here over the Thanksgiving weekend, we sure lucked out with weather! This little gem was perfect for our family and friends to gather. An old house, but with cute accents and details. It was perfect. We did leave a note with those minor technical issues! They had folding chairs and tables, I was able to tuck away the house decor in the cupboards and put up our table clothes, decor and floral arrangements!
Beds are a bit hard but wasn’t a huge make or break for me.
The huge deck out back really helped make it feel fun, and gave space for everyone to hang out and not be elbow to elbow inside. For the back yard we got more leaves to cover some of the patchy grass from autumn, but a decently sized yard. Highly recommend for a cozy feeling! I will cherish the memories made here.

Been here many times and it’s always amazing 🤩. Thank you so much 😊 for having us here for the 3rd time

Mr. Graeme we are very grateful to you for amazing ceremony. Mr. Graeme was even guiding us in advance what to do in our ceremony. He is a very kind person. He made his job very professional he was on time he do not miss any detail. He was not rushing us and give us the time enough to make us feel comfortable same as our guests. We absolutely recommend him 💯 Thank you for been part of our marriage !!!

We are so happy Graeme was able to be a part of our special day. He is one of the kindest people we have ever met. He was so professional and really knows what he is doing! He helped us customize our ceremony to really make it feel personal and our own, and he met with us quite a few time before the ceremony to really get to know us. It was really nice on the day of to know exactly what was going to happen (helped calm the nerves)! Thank you so much Graeme!!

Graeme is a wonderful person, and the best marriage commissioner. My husband & I are so happy that he performed our ceremony, and everyone at the wedding loved him too! He was great before the ceremony with planning, and met with us multiple times. He's very easy to talk to. Thanks again Graeme!

Graeme is a fantastic person and was a wonderful marriage commissioner. He is warm and caring and shows a genuine affection for the people he marries. He was flexible and courteous with our time, even helping us with a rehearsal 2 days prior to our wedding. On our wedding day his calm presence set the tone for us and our guests, he led us through a quick and beautiful ceremony and closed with his own thoughtful remarks. We were excited to be his 301st wedding and would recommend Graeme to anyone!

Graeme married my sister and her new husband today and did an absolutely amazing job. He made everyone feel very comfortable and was very good at directing what was going to happen and where everyone needed to be. He had very kind words to say after the ceremony and it was a pleasure to meet him and I would highly suggest him.

Love the private space. Sound is great. Lots of room. Staff has always been really kind and helpful.

Solid place to jam. Definitely worth what you pay. The gear is adequate and more than loud enough. I like that it's kinda tucked away. Lots of charm.

We love this space. Instructions on getting in are easy peasy. Adequately spacious, cool lighting, no sense whatsoever that we're disturbing any of the neighbours. Nothing but good things!

Fully equipped, quality rehearsal room, in a convenient location with an affordable price! On top of that Matias is an amazing host and owner making sure you have a great experience!

He is very accommodating , we got married at his back yard ,it was small and simple wedding , it made all of us happy. Thank you so much Dustin for everything.

My husband and I got married this past Saturday and were absolutely thrilled to have Dustin perform our ceremony. He did an incredible job - our guests were just blown away, as were we!
His speech being so personalized for us was a beautiful gift, and I am so grateful for him agreeing to give my husband a little inside joke from me just before sending us off to our first kiss. It made the moment even more special for us.
Dustin was super easy to communicate with and made the process seamless. I will be recommending Dustin to everyone!!!
Thank you so much, Dustin!

I spent a lot of time worried and nervous about our ceremony, but Dustin did a phenomenal job at making us feel comfortable and at ease when we needed it most. Very clear and well spoken, many of our guests thoroughly enjoyed his presence in our ceremony. Thank you Dustin for doing such an awesome job!

My husband and I recently got married with Dustin officiating the wedding, and he was absolutely amazing. He was completely professional and really made the ceremony fun and magical for all of our guests/us. He would consistently follow up with us and ensure everything was to our preference! I would highly recommend him to officiate your ceremony!

If you are thinking of getting married please choose Dustin as your officiant, He is super kind, professional and he made everything that day perfect. We chose the option of getting married in his backyard the venue was perfect especially since we wanted an intimate ceremony. Thank you so much for making our day perfect Dustin! You rock :) Ohhh and big ups for letting him bring our dogs! That was super important to us!

My now husband and I had our wedding at Homestead 1880 this past July 20th 2024.

The day was SO beautiful! The weather was perfect, the details of the DIY projects we prepped for the day looked absolutely gorgeous with the venue as the backdrop.

The venue owner, Cathy Zuana along with her husband Ronnie did an absolutely incredible job prepping the property for our big day. Everything from the landscaping to how nice and clean the farm and farm house (that we rented for the weekend) was just picture perfect.

Everyone was in awe of how stunning the venue was! We received countless compliments and people asking about it throughout the day.

The venue was perfect for what we were wanting. I would recommend it to all brides who are looking for a venue that they can personalize in a way that suits them best.

We haven’t gotten our wedding photos back yet from our photographer but please enjoy looking through these photos that our guests captured, that we screenshot from our wedding video etc. As you can see from the photos, this venue is a dream come true!

Thank you so much again to Cathy and Ronnie! :)

My husband and I held our wedding at Homestead 1880 last September and I truly can’t say enough good things about this venue. You would never know it was a newer venue as the owners (Cathy and Ronnie) have it operating so smoothly. They were both an absolute pleasure to work with and were flexible and accommodating throughout our entire planning process. They were also able to recommend some wonderful vendors, including a phenomenal day of coordinator!

The venue itself is stunning and the bridal suite on site is convenient and fully equipped with everything you might need for an easy, fun, and seamless getting ready morning.

Cathy and Ronnie went out of their way to make sure we had the absolute best wedding day. I would not hesitate to recommend this venue to anyone!

Absolutely breathtaking
If you’re looking for the perfect rustic venue to get married, this is it 100%! We were beyond happy with everything! The property is beautiful, and the barn is exceptionally gorgeous! Cathy & her team were beyond accommodating!
The best part is you can do everything there! The guests did not have to move from the ceremony to a reception venue.
A truly breathtaking spot for photos.
There is a farmhouse on site that can be rented, which is great to have a nice place to get ready and stay the night !

My family and I attended a wedding at this venue in the fall of 2022, and we were absolutely blown away by the stunning setting and high-end finishing of the facilities. The outdoor ceremony took place overlooking beautiful corn fields, which provided a breathtaking backdrop for the event. The reception was held in a renovated barn, which had been beautifully finished with high-end details including a stunning chandelier. The far side of the barn had a covered deck with multiple seating areas around gas-fired heaters, which provided a cozy and comfortable atmosphere for guests. We were also impressed to find that the barn had newly installed washroom facilities, which were clean and well-maintained throughout the event. Overall, we had an amazing experience at this venue and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and luxurious wedding or event location. Five stars!

We recently attended a country wedding at Homestead 1880. The huge barn was fully restored and had beautiful sunset views of the country farm. Also amazing were the amenities including large modern bathrooms, very high ceilings with a gorgeous chandelier and outdoor covered fire pits offering comfy seating for some fresh air. The dance floor is large and the ambience is very quaint. What a great location for a wedding, birthday party or country hoedown.

We had DJ Tonee for our wedding. Everything went smoothly with the music, sparklers, fog machines and up lighting. He is very responsive and easy to work with. Would recommend!

I cannot say enough about Tonee and the whole team at Interlace. We had a French-Canadian and Lebanese wedding and Dj Tonee played the perfect mix of music including English, Arabic, and French, as well as taking into account the group of people that were there and what kind of music they would like. We literally had people telling us how awesome the music was at our wedding for weeks afterwards, it was one of the main things they talked about. DJ Tonee also worked seamlessly with our Zaffe group, and had no problems at all with incorporating their music and orchestrating the whole thing. He made no mistakes with what music we wanted when we wanted. It was wonderful, and he worked so well with our friend who was our MC. He made our magical night so perfect and was so helpful and accessible. I cannot recommend him and Interlace enough.

The other part of Interlace that we used for our wedding was the photo booth, and it was AWESOME. The photo booth attendants even came u to us to make sure we were happy with the look of the photos before they let people take pictures which was so nice of them. They were so attentive to everyone taking photos and the backdrop and props were hilarious and fantastic, everyone loved them. It was definitely a main attraction at the wedding and worth every penny.

Thank you so much everyone at Interlace for not causing us any extra stress and actually being our lifesavers for music and entertainment. We so appreciate you and your whole staff for helping making us feel so special on our big day.

We had a Polish and Arab wedding and DJ Tonee did a great job mixing both cultures’ songs and keeping everyone on the dance floor! Our guests had a great time!

I highly recommend Dj Tonee and his crew for anyone looking for professional and reliable entertainment for their wedding! Was the most reliable vendor we dealt with during this stressful process. After meeting him for the first time after a friends recommendation, we knew we were in good hands and can rely on him the day of the wedding! He definitely knows how to keep the party going, we only heard good things from the guest about the entertainment. Glad we went with him for our lighting and entertainment! Thanks for making this day unforgettable!

Dear Mr. Tonee Aziz and the Interlace Group,

We wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible professionalism and outstanding service you provided at our wedding on Saturday, September 2, 2023. Your contribution played a pivotal role in making our special day truly unforgettable.

From the moment we first connected, your dedication and attention to detail were evident. You worked tirelessly to understand our musical preferences and the ambiance we wanted to create, and the result exceeded our highest expectations. The music selection was flawless, and the way you seamlessly blended different genres and styles kept our guests on the dance floor all night long.

Your ability to read the crowd and adapt to their energy was truly remarkable. You not only met but exceeded every request, making our wedding reception a night filled with joy, laughter, and cherished memories. Your professionalism and charisma resonated with everyone present, and we received countless compliments from our guests about your incredible performance.

Beyond the music, your coordination with other vendors and your overall commitment to ensuring the smooth flow of the event were invaluable. You truly went above and beyond to make sure every aspect of our wedding was perfect.

In every interaction, you and your team exemplified the highest level of professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. Your dedication to your craft and your passion for creating unforgettable moments were evident throughout the entire planning process and on our wedding day.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had you as our DJ and to have experienced the magic you brought to our celebration. Our wedding would not have been the same without you, and for that, we are forever grateful.

Mr. Tonee Aziz and the Interlace Group, you are more than just a DJ company; you are memory-makers, mood-setters, and masters of your craft. Thank you for sharing your talent with us and making our wedding day a dream come true.

With heartfelt thanks and warmest regards,

We found ourselves in a bit of a scramble the week of our wedding when our original officiant had to cancel. Jacqueline stepped in on short notice and completely turned the situation around. She met with us the very day she confirmed her availability and immediately brought a perfect mix of calm, humour, and confidence that put us at ease.

With only a few hours to prepare for our meeting, she somehow managed to find genuine, meaningful connections to our story and wove them into a ceremony that felt incredibly personal and full of heart. She’s outgoing, thoughtful, and quick on her feet—and we honestly believe she did a better job than our original officiant could have. What started as a stressful last-minute change ended up being one of the best things that could’ve happened.

Our guests were equally impressed. Many told us how funny, engaging, and natural she was—and several remarked that it felt like she had known us for years. A few even said they wanted to use her for their own celebration of life or if they ever get remarried!

We’re so grateful she was part of our day. She truly delivered an outstanding ceremony, and we couldn’t have imagined it any other way.

We had Jacqueline as our wedding officiant back in May and she was wonderful! She listened to our story and crafted a beautiful script to reflect our story and values perfectly. She even included a quote from one of our favorite movies. :)
Thank you for contributing such a special part to our big day!

Jacqueline made our wedding seamless. She was great all around and we and our guests thought she did a wonderful job. She was there to help through the ceremony and she made it funny but nice all at the same time. We would definitely recommend her for your wedding!!

With all of the decisions that are involved with planning a wedding, Jacquie was by far the best decision we made. From the first meeting we had with her we felt so at ease with the whole process. She made the rehearsal so much fun and our ceremony was tailored the exact way we had hoped. We had so many compliments after the wedding from our guests saying how great the ceremony was and I recommend to everyone in search of a marriage officiant to use Jacquie. She truly is amazing at what she does!

Jacqueline was our officiant for our wedding and we couldn't have asked for a better person! She is extremely knowledgeable and creative in creating the perfect ceremony for you. We had so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the ceremony and program was. We also recommend having the rehearsal with Jacqueline before the ceremony as she made it a lot of fun for our parents and bridal party. Jacqueline has many tips and tricks for making your ceremony (and the photos) perfect. Thanks Jacqueline for a perfect wedding ceremony. Highly highly recommend!!
