Wedding Vendors in Toronto

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Urban Scribes Design Studio when they recently handled our wedding stationery. A pleasure to work with. We relied on their expertise to design our entire wedding invitation suite and wine labels. We were extremely detail-oriented and Urban Scribes went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. We were ecstatic with the final products and our guests were absolutely blown away. If you want the best, look no further!

Suzy from Urban Scribes was an absolute dream to work with on our wedding stationery! Not only is she so talented at what she does, but she's flexible, accommodating and truly went above and beyond in every way, from giving us more options than we'd even asked for, to working with incredible turnaround times. We were really touched by Suzy's kindness and the care she puts into her work. We can't recommend Urban Scribes enough.

What an amazing experience! So professional, reliable, detail-oriented and a pleasure to work with. Suzy made our wedding stationary dreams come true in every way possible. Incredible work - we were truly so happy with our wedding invitations, welcome sign, menus, placecards, seating plan, etc. I don’t often write reviews but after having such an amazing experience, I just had to.

Superior service, timeless design and high end product. The quality far surpasses any other vendor that we tried. We are so pleased and impressed with our Wedding Invitations, Save the Dates, Reply Cards and Wine Labels! Thank you to Urban Scribes Design Studio for going above and beyond.

Please stay away from this company. Very wicked people . You will regret doing business with them. They will never return your call

Absolutely terrible company, should be avoided at all costs. They don't have their processes together which results in them making a bunch of clerical errors. They then blame you for their issues and deny coverage.

Rachel was so helpful to give us the best options for our travel and took a very good care of us. We literally had to only worry about our packing and everything else was taken care of for us. Thank you again, you are amazing!

This year Rachel helped me plan an amazing trip to Spain and France. She found us amazing hotels in the locations that fit our wants and needs perfectly while keeping budget in mind. She was fantastic with logistics since we were visiting three cities and traveling by train. She suggested taking trains rather than flying between countries and I am so happy we took her advice. It was a breeze! The gluten free restaurant maps she provided were so helpful and a nice added bonus to using her services. I will definitely be calling Rachel again for our next trip. Thank you, Rachel!

Rachel was professional, knowledgeable, and helpful in steering us to a resort that could accommodate someone with Celiac, still be within budget, and allow us to have an amazing time. We were so happy with where we ended up going- it was exactly what she described and what we were looking for. I would absolutely recommend reaching out to her, especially if you’re celiac, but even if you aren’t. I hope it won’t be long before I’m reaching out for her help again. Thanks so much Rachel!

Jason helped us plan our dream honeymoon! My wife and I were so overwhelmed trying to find a queer & vegetarian friendly resort. We ended up reaching out to Jason a few weeks before our scheduled time off to help us plan a last minute vacation! He was so thoughtful, understanding, and thorough. He made the process super easy. All of our future vacations will be planned with Jason's expertise. Thank you so much, Jason!

We just went to the Royalton in Jamaica. There were 6 adults, and 5 children, from 10 years to 5 months. Rachel did all the planning for us. With so many of us the food was an issue, as we had vegetarians, food allergies, food sensitivities and lactose intolerance, so making sure this was not going to be a problem was very important to us. We had wonderful service, and a great variety of food. The resort was beautiful, the pools were sparkling clean, the beach was clean and we had a lot of fun on boogie boards riding the waves. Our rooms were spacious and clean and the balconies faced the ocean. We had a great time thanks to all of Rachels hard work in planning the perfect family vacation. Thank you so much Rachel, I can not wait for our next family vacation. Dianne

I booked a limo in Toronto with Vale Royal for my daughter’s prom, which turned out to be the best decisions I made. We received an upgraded limo, which left all 14 teenagers that were going to the prom in a state of amazement. The chauffeur arrived on time and was very courteous even though he was dealing with 14 teenagers all by himself.

The limousine was very impressive and was clean inside and out and had plenty of room for all of the children to sit comfortably. It was probable the greatest limousine I have seen throughout Toronto. Vale Royal was very flexible when it came to picking up groups of kids from different locals and the chauffeur provided business cards to each child, which included his cell phone number in case they needed to contact him. Everyone who rode in the limo has stated that they had no problem with leaving their personal items in the limo upon entering the restaurant before the prom and the prom itself.

It brought me great comfort to know that upon request the chauffeur agreed that he would do a head count before leaving each location just to make sure no one was left behind. Once the prom was over the chauffeur kindly took each child to their house, which showed his dedication to his job and his clients. The value, professionalism, and quality service that Vale Royal provided to my daughter, her friends, and myself was outstanding.

I could not recommend their services enough as you will not be disappointed. Vale Royal knows what customer service is and they have impressed me with an everlasting memory. Thank you Vale Royal for impressive limousines and world-class chauffer’s!

Your limos were in excellent condition, and the drivers were amazing! Thanks for all your patience with making and changing plans, and for such great service!

The drivers of this limo compnay are very kind and helpful, and they always present a professional image when driving.

Thank you Sid for the great service.

Working with Erin and Olivia was an absolute dream! My wedding dress was everything I envisioned and more. The pearl details on both the dress and the veil were spot on — elegant, unique, and exactly my style. Every step of the process was smooth and enjoyable thanks to how kind, talented, and professional the entire team was. I truly felt like the most beautiful version of myself on my wedding day. I can't recommend them enough to any bride looking for a custom, unforgettable gown. Thank you again for making my dream dress a reality!

I had the most amazing experience at Valencienne! When I first came into their store, I told them my vision and Erin and her team knew exactly what I was going for. They have stunning laces and fabrics to choose from. They are experts but also so supportive and radiate positive energy. Erin, Olivia, and her team are with you every step of the way to make sure you feel amazing. They customized a beautiful bolero and veil to my dress. I received so many compliments and I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. I highly recommend Valencienne!

I can’t say enough great things about Valencienne Bridal! I first visited hoping to design a custom gown for my wedding, but ended up purchasing a dress and having them alter it to match my exact vision. They did such an incredible job that I brought them three different dresses for different events during my wedding weekend—and they completely transformed each one.
The attention to detail was amazing, and the dresses turned out even better than I imagined. The whole team made me feel like family from the moment I walked in. Erin, the owner, is an absolute sweetheart—so warm, encouraging, and made me feel confident from our very first conversation. The head seamstress understood exactly what I wanted without needing me to explain twice—she just got it.
And a special shoutout to Olivia, who gave me such great tips along the way! She’s clearly so talented and I know she has an incredible future in dressmaking ahead of her.
Everything was finished well ahead of schedule, and even though I didn’t go with a fully custom dress, it felt like I did. Thank you so much, Valencienne—you brought my vision to life and made the whole experience so special!

There is so much I could say about the team at Valencienne, a truly talented group who I've come to know as friends.

These ladies were like my fairy godmothers throughout the entire process. I truly don't know what I would have done without their expertise and support.

I first came to Valencienne in Spring 2023 after no luck finding anything I liked in stores. What I loved about our consultation was how the focus on how I wanted to feel was just as important as how I wanted to look in my dress. I felt a huge weight lifted from me, and knew I wouldn't have any "dress regret".

Everything was going smoothly with the dressmaking process (of which we were about 60% complete) when I found out I was pregnant, and would be about 7.5 months along on my wedding day. Naturally, this was a huge deal and my dress was my biggest concern, but Erin and Olivia were so incredibly gracious and understanding when I told them. We worked together to make sure that my dream dress wouldn't be compromised by this unexpected blessing and my changing body. It was a LOT of work (and I want to note that we gladly compensated them for the additional time/resources) - but truly the end result was PRICELESS. I felt so much care and attention was put into this dress, it still makes me emotional just thinking about it.

Even though I was carrying my little one, I still felt like the kind of bride I had always dreamed of being. I looked just as good as I felt in my dress, and I have the team at Valencienne to thank for that.

Valencienne made my wedding dress dreams come true - and executed beyond my wildest dreams.

From the incredible design, guidance and fabric sourcing (& more) by Erin to Olivia's attention to detail in hand-sewing the appliqué, I am blown away!

Thank you so much for such a fun journey. Highly recommend.

I couldn’t be happier with my engagement ring, and my partner’s classic gold band! Monil was fantastic to work with from the beginning to the end of the process. After providing him with ideas on the style of rings we both wanted, he provided us with 3D renderings to give us a sense of what the final products would look like, which was great. When seeing the actual rings - I was so pleased. Mine was exactly what I wanted and so was my partner’s.
Monil was also very flexible with regard to payments and fair with pricing.
We will be reaching out again for my wedding band! I would highly recommend going to Valour!

I had an amazing experience working with Monil on my fiancé’s engagement ring. From start to finish, he was incredibly patient, approachable, and thorough in answering all my questions. He walked me through the entire process, providing helpful insights on how to best tailor the design to make it truly special.

The ring was delivered with a quick turnaround at a very fair price, and Monil has continued to support us with after-care, including resizing. The craftsmanship speaks for itself—my fiancé has received countless compliments on the ring, and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!

We are already looking forward to working with Monil again to design our wedding bands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for not just beautiful jewellery, but also a seamless, supportive experience!

I had a disappointing experience with this jeweller. I worked with them to design a custom band for my engagement ring. Unfortunately, within six months of wear, the diamond came loose. When I returned to have it tightened, I was told that the diamond was too large for the setting and that this issue would keep happening. This was never mentioned during the design process, which I would have expected as an important professional caution.

I asked if they could propose a long-term solution (and was willing to pay for it). They said they would provide a design and quote, which they never delivered on. Since then, the stone has come loose again, and I've since gone to another jeweller to solve the problem.

While the initial design was beautiful and the service was friendly, the lack of guidance, accountability, and follow-up left me extremely disappointed. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend them for custom work.

Monil was very patient and thorough when showing me all of the different stone and band designs, considering I had no knowledge of engagement rings. Once he showed me the Radiant cut with the hidden halo band, I knew it was the perfect ring for my now fiancée.

I went to several jewellers in the Toronto area, but Valour Diamonds beat the rest both in terms of quality and customer service.

Monil made the process so easy. He guided me to the right size and type of diamond to get, and created the exact ring that I needed for my engagement. Definitely recommend Valour Diamonds, they will take care of you.

Got the lemon meringue pie to celebrate a friend's birthday and they loved it! It was absolutely delicious and not too sweet. The owners were so kind and accommodating, and their space is super cute as well. There are seats by the window to enjoy their drinks and baked goods, excited to come back and try it!

I am obsessed with this bakery!
Firstly every one of the pastries look amazing! Considering it’s independently ran (by two lovely owners) and everything is handcrafted with fresh and local ingredients they have a great selection. They post their daily menu on Instagram the day of and it’s almost always has something new! They have a really good selection of gluten free items for pre order mostly, but they do have some GF pastries in store! As a celiac I love that the GF cookies are individually packaged and tarts have separate tongs as they are very aware of gluten free/allergy practices. The lemon meringue tart (GF obvi!) is not only the most beautiful tart in Toronto but tasted amazing. I’ve ordered Vanilla Bite multiple times for my office catering and events, and they never disappoint! I ordered cinnamon rolls for a morning meeting once and still get asked about them. I’m looking forward to doing holiday & Christmas office catering with them. Secondly the drinks! This is where my obsession started. First with the best matcha I’ve had in Toronto, then the homemade vanilla bean syrup, THEN the pumpkin spice latte that muade me believe in love again, now with my daily vanilla oat latte. Kevin is a beverage wizard.

Best of all, they are dog friendly!

I purchased the gf lemon meringue tart pie for mine and my daughter’s bbq birthday family gathering. It was perfection. Truly could not have asked for anything more perfect for our needs and loves ! Thanks again. Will definitely order again. Delivery was also seamless.

Dannah and Kevin are the real deal and Vanilla Bite is absolutely one of the best bakeries in the city. From their croissants to specialty pastries everything they create is delicious and from quality sourced ingredients. We also had the honour of having a cake from Vanilla Bite for our small wedding (and it was unreal).

I always make it a point to go to Vanilla Bite to buy pastries and satisfy my coffee fix. Their cookies are one of best that I have ever had, especially the Walnut Toffee Maple cookie. That first bite gets you hooked. I also usually have high expectations with croissants, but theirs exceeded mine and is now probably my top 1.

Incredible. Back again and every time I am incredibly impressed with attention to detail, staff that are constantly going over and above with micro level details that we never get elsewhere. Food never runs out and excellent pre-event detailing and during event changes as well. AV also runs smoothly and staff on site to assist.

We toured this venue early in our wedding planning process and were immediately impressed. It was beautiful and felt like the perfect fit for our wedding. We were ready to book right away, but the team told us they were still finalizing their pricing for the following year and would be in touch as soon as it was confirmed.

Unfortunately, what followed was a very disappointing experience. Over the next couple of months, we followed up multiple times and were told they were still waiting on approvals or signatures. Then, they simply stopped responding altogether. No replies to emails, no returned calls or voicemails. We even sent a new inquiry from a different email address just to see if we'd get a response, and still nothing.

By September, with no communication and our wedding date approaching early the following year, we had no choice but to move forward with another venue. This was the first time we’ve ever been completely ghosted by a vendor, and we’re really disappointed in the lack of professionalism. We understand delays can happen, but a simple response or update would’ve gone a long way.

To this day, almost a year later, we’ve still never received any kind of response or explanation from them.

Outstanding venue & staff.

We have hosted dozens of events and Vantage Venue is the #1 venue by far.

In-house chef goes above and beyond to accommodate. It's great seeing the same cheerful and kind staff every time we come here over many months.

View from the rooms is an added bonus.

AV on site is quick and responsive.

Doesn't break the bank like some hotels or other venues.

My only complaint is the room isn't big enough for some of our bigger events as we wish we could hold them all here.

100% would always book here if I had the opportunity.

Attended a 2 day workshop here. Well organized. Clean. Friendly staff. Bathrooms were so clean at all times! Food was fantastic! Worth every penny.

The venue was too small for the conference I attended, although that is not to the fault of St. Andrew's. The food was mediocre, again, likely because the conference went cheap. They could have provided more variety on day two, with different sandwiches or dessert. The view is excellent. Some of the staff were friendly, some were rude and pushy. Location was good, as it has PATH access. Limited number of restrooms which is a problem when the place is full.

Andre was fantastic to work with throughout the process of getting a tuxedo for my wedding. It only took a few quick visits to discuss style options, get measurements, and complete final alterations to perfect the fit. He shared his decades of experience with thoughtful design guidance, but never pressured us if we had a different vision. The final result was something I felt fantastic in, and I wouldn’t hesitate to return to him for another major milestone. Thanks, Andre!

Every piece at Vassi is handpicked and deeply considered nowhere else will you find a collection quite like this in Toronto. Andre pours his heart into every detail from selecting luxurious fabrics to crafting original designs. There’s a sense of history and purpose in his work like no other. I hold nothing but admiration and respect for this man and the legacy he’s built.

Vassi is great! Have been going to him for years - impressive service, unique clothing and membership guarantees better values. Very pleased to recommend! cheers Rob

The guys at Vassi helped me with a beautiful suit that was tailored in a seamless and timely experience! Highly recommend if you’re in the market for fine menswear.

First time visiting Vassi, needed a matching suit for my friend's wedding. Andre was very helpful and friendly, and the whole process was a breeze. The tailoring was especially phenomenal, I have somewhat uncommon body proportions and expected this to go how it usually does for me - with a lot of back and forth and having to come back several times. To my pleasant surprise, everything was perfect on the first go. I'll definitely be back!

I want to express my heartfelt thanks to Mr. Joshua Villanueva, Registration Services Representative at the Office of the City Clerk, City of Vaughan. My journey to obtain a license over the past three months was full of frustration and uncertainty, but Joshua's professionalism, patience, and genuine willingness to help made all the difference.

In a world where bureaucracy often feels cold and impersonal, encountering someone like Joshua—who goes above and beyond to guide and support—is a rare blessing. Without his help, I truly don't think I would have been able to obtain the license successfully. I consider myself very fortunate that my application was handled by him.

Thank you, Joshua, for your exceptional service and human touch.

I have to say I’m very disappointed with how the City of Vaughan is handling both the general cleanliness of our community and the ongoing issues around the speeding cameras. The town does not feel as well-maintained as it should, with litter and upkeep concerns that seem to be overlooked. On top of that, the speeding camera saga has turned into more of a revenue generator than a real safety measure. Residents deserve a city that prioritizes true community safety and a clean, welcoming environment, not half-measures and frustrating policies.

Speed enforcement cameras are totally ridiculous! Basically they will force you to pay if you go 4-5 kmph over the speed limit which they will set to 40kmph which is an absolute joke. So pay them regularly for these fines on top of the yearly taxes you pay the city. An absolute cash grab and I am glad people keep vandalizing these cameras. Good work Vaughan on wasting taxpayers dollars!!

Most of the officers who issue penalties seem more focused on hunting drivers for tickets rather than enforcing the law fairly. This approach only puts financial pressure on people and creates a sense of distrust. The appeal system should also be more transparent and fair.

I wish I could give 0 stars to this city hall and their useless employees who can’t help the citizens. I parked my truck on my driveway, and the two wheels were just slightly touching the street. I got a fine for that, even though I went to a hearing with evidence (a photo of my neighbor parking the exact same way—with their permission to take the photo). The judge saw my evidence and said, “I don’t know why you got fined for this; you’re parked just like everyone else.”

Yet today, I got another parking ticket for the same reason. I went to city hall hoping to get a parking permit, but they told me they don’t sell any. Instead, they told me to either get a smaller car or build a bigger driveway. They offered no real solution. We pay so much in taxes in Vaughan… for what? To pay these useless employees?

steven del duca , WAKE UPP!!

I got married here in June 2025 and absolutely loved it! We had been searching for a wedding venue for quite a while and were so glad we found Vaughan Estate. It is a beautiful, timeless venue with so many different spaces, including a bridal suite, a groomsmen suite, a separate bridal washroom (honestly a lifesaver), options for both outdoor or indoor ceremony, a gorgeous outdoor courtyard for cocktail hour, and a main ballroom with so much natural light filtering in through the windows. We didn't need much in terms of decor because the venue really speaks for itself. The food too - wow, I received so many compliments from guests that it was the BEST wedding food they've ever had! It was a joy working with O&B staff (shoutout to Hailey!) leading up to the day, and the event staff on-site were wonderful and courteous as well. I can't recommend Vaughan Estate enough!

As a wedding photographer who has shot at Vaughan Estate before, I can say it's a beautiful venue to get married at.

The architecture and natural surroundings provide a clean, classic backdrop. There’s also a great mix of indoor and outdoor options, and the team who works there is fantastic, professional and well-organized.

Highly recommended.

Gorgeous Estate for weddings or corporate events!!! Oliver & Bonacini is doing a great job with this historic venue.

I’m sharing my experience as a guest at a recent wedding, and I’d like to provide an honest breakdown for anyone considering this venue for their own event.

Pros:
(1) Charming Renovation: Despite being an older building, the venue has undergone renovations and is nicely sectioned and updated inside.

(2) Ample Parking: There were plenty of parking spaces available, and guests were able to have their parking validated, which was a great touch.

(3) Surprisingly Great Food: The steak dinner was excellent—flavourful and well-prepared. If possible, my partner and I would have both chosen the steak as our entrée.

Cons:
(1) Unpleasant Washroom Odor: The upper floor washrooms had a persistent unpleasant smell that detracted from the overall experience.

(2) Inconsistent Renovations: While the interior was mostly updated, some areas—such as the windowed room—could still use improvement. The view was beautiful, but the tile flooring felt outdated; hardwood or laminate would have elevated the space.

(3) Bar Experience Was Terrible: The bar was disappointing, though I want to emphasize that the bartenders themselves were fantastic (more on them below). At most weddings, the bar is a hub of celebration. Unfortunately, after just two rounds of tequila shots, our entire group was abruptly cut off—not by the bartenders, but by the head of security.

None of our guests were behaving inappropriately or appearing intoxicated. We simply wanted to enjoy ourselves, but before we could even settle into the evening, the head of security prohibited any more shots. Even the bartenders seemed confused, mentioning that our group was nowhere near the level of drunkenness that would warrant such a restriction.

Another note: the venue enforces a "no tip jar" policy, so you won’t see one on the bar. I had to tip the bartenders directly—which I gladly did, as they were kind, attentive, and clearly trying their best despite the limitations.

Final Thoughts:
If you’re looking for a venue where guests can cut loose and celebrate late into the night, this may not be the best fit. It felt more like a venue designed for early wrap-ups and quiet evenings. If your vision includes a lively dance floor and cocktails past 10 PM, consider looking elsewhere.

That said, the staff (aside from the head of security) were incredibly kind, which is why I’m giving this place 2 stars instead of 1.

I hope this review helps future couples in making their decision.

I had my wedding at the Vaughan estates in summer of 2018. Everything was so beautiful and the staffs are amazing! Laura was my contact and you can trust her with everything :) price was reasonable, food was great and the front lawn was full of flowers. It was everything that I wanted.

Cozy and cute! I love the flavours they had. although some of them were out of stock. You get to taste the flavours of gelato. Tried the fermented rice and black sesame, fermented rice was out of stock by the time we decided the flavour we went with black sesame. It was nice. It’s just a take out place.

I love Vava Cake for their great variety of beautiful and tasty cup cakes and chiffon cakes. Their chiffon cakes are super light with exact amount of sweetness; and the designs are eye-catching.

You can either order for pick up in any of the 3 stores, or order for delivery; they offer delivery options to Oakville and Mississauga as well.

The staff are very friendly and order/pick up process is very convenient.

Vava cakes are just right, not too sweet, super creamy, and full of flavor for every perfect bite. Great to pick up on the way home, bring to a friend’s party, or treat yourself. The 4 inch Christmas cake is something I would happily share..... with myself.
It's draining my bank account, I've got to stop.

Got a cake from them on my birthday and it was divine! Do not sleep on the Hokkaido Cheese flavour! I love that their cakes are not overly sweet and the chiffon stays soft even if it’s been put back in the fridge. They have nice selection of cake designs, some are cute and some are elegant.

Amazing service and a great cake. I gave them an inspo picture for my 30’s birthday and they made it even better than what I asked for! The colours, the flowers and everything was on point. The cake itself is fluffy and not too sweet which is amazing. They used fresh strawberries which made the cake taste quite refreshing. I would definitely recommend them for a special occasion.

We can’t say enough good things about our experience with Veronica as our wedding coordinator! From our very first phone call, she was warm, organized, and incredibly supportive. Before working with her, we were feeling overwhelmed—but Veronica stepped in, connected with all of our vendors, and took the lead on every detail with such ease and professionalism. It truly lifted the weight off our shoulders and allowed us to fully enjoy the process.

From our meetings and rehearsal to the big day itself, Veronica went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Her attention to detail and calming presence made such a difference. We are so grateful and feel incredibly lucky to have had her by our side.

Future couples—you are in the best hands with Veronica! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping make our day so perfect.

– Natalie & Chris

We had VBE weddings as our day of coordinator for our small 75 people wedding. From the first consultation phone call, we knew this was the right choice. Veronica asked a lot f questions on call clearly showing she's extremely experienced. We were very confident going into the process with them. Simone was our coordinator. We began working closely with her about a month out from our wedding date. Simone was extremely professional and knowledgeable. She helped us so much with the timeline, getting ourselves ready for the big day. She also made sure our rehearsal ran smoothly, coordinating perfectly with our venue. We had the best time on our wedding day. We could not thank Simone enough for her hard work. She arrived at the venue early to set everything up and packed things up before she left. Everything was perfect and we did not have to worry about a single thing. Our guests also loved the event and had a blast. I recommend VBE weddings without any hesitation to any couple looking for help on their wedding day.

Absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service provided by our wedding planner Veronica Belle Weddings in the summer 2023! Her attention to detail, creativity, and flawless execution made our special day truly unforgettable. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an stress-free and magical wedding experience.

I don't even know where to start to thank Veronica for everything that she did for us. We were so impressed and blown away by the work that her and her team did to make our special day that much more special. The way she setup and decorated was even better then we had pictured, she kept everything so organized and flowing, she worked so well with our family and vendors to coordinate a surprise for us, and everything turned out perfect. So many of our family and friends noticed the hard work that she put in and mentioned it to us. We are so grateful to have had Veronica working with us for our wedding!

We are so happy that we hired VBE to work with! They were incredibly professional and reliable. Veronica made our wedding completely stress free and our wedding turned out exactly as we imagined. From the planning all the way to execution Veronica was there for every step and helped answered any questions we had leading up to the wedding. She also connected us with other vendors which was very helpful! She went above and beyond on the wedding day and we would highly recommend working with her!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Ashley from Velvet Bordeaux Events, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. From start to finish, she was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure every detail was exactly as we envisioned.

We went with her day of coordination package which typically, this would be mostly the wedding couple planning up to the months leading up to the big day but throughout the entire process, Ashley was there to provide her recommendations, helped us out with so many details and that was already beyond what she needed to do.

One of the things I appreciated most was Ashley’s clear communication and thoughtful follow-up. As a busy bride, it’s easy for things to slip through the cracks, but Ashley always kept us on track without ever making the process feel overwhelming.

She listened closely to my ideas and made every effort to bring my vision to life. On top of that, the vendors she recommended were fantastic—each one contributed to making our wedding night absolutely beautiful.

Ashley’s professionalism shone through every step of the way, but what meant even more was the genuine friendship we built during this process. My husband and I are so grateful for her support, guidance, and care. Velvet Bordeaux Events was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

Working with Ashley/ Velvet Bordeaux was hands down the BEST decision we made during our wedding planning process. From the very first consultation, we knew we were in the hands of someone truly exceptional. She brought an incredible mix of professionalism, creativity, calm energy, and genuine care.

The timeline was perfect, the vendor coordination seamless, and the entire day flowed effortlessly. We felt so present and relaxed on our wedding day because we trusted completely that Ashley had everything handled.

All our guests are raving about how amazing the day was. We truly can’t thank Ashley enough for making our wedding day the most amazing, stress-free, and joyful celebration of our lives.

If you’re considering hiring a wedding planner—stop your search and hire Ashley immediately. It will be the best decision you make!

Ashley and her team were phenomenal! From the first day I hired Ashley it was always a positive experience throughout. Although I hired Ashley for a day of coordinator / month of she reached out periodically throughout the year to check in to see how we were doing. Loved that, showed she cared. She even did a rough schedule of the day of well in advance ! She was eager to assist with any vendor issues or suggestion throughout this time! When it came to the day of the wedding I was absolutely calm and had zero worries. She was very attentive the entire time and ensured I got everything I wanted to have captured that day. Ashley handled everything with grace and positivity. She only communicated need to know things everything else she took care of. She also handled my bridal party with just the right amount of sass when needed ;) Thank you for making my day worry free and always bringing your warmth and your bubbly personality to ease the day! My entire day ran on time without delays and we had great giggles along the way!

I recommend her to any bride I talk to now!

She was also mother of the bride approved ! Ahaha

Patrizia and Anthony

We truly cannot say enough good things about Ashley of Velvet Bordeaux Events. From the very beginning, she was an absolute dream to work with- positive, calm, and always one step ahead. She guided us through the entire wedding planning process with such expertise; helping us navigate the industry, make thoughtful decisions, and helping us to stay on track.

Ashley was an advocate for us and handled every bump with a cool head and never once lost her cheerful, warm demeanor. On the wedding day, thanks to her, we (our wedding party and our family included) were able to be fully present and actually enjoy the day without stress, knowing we had Ashley. We weren’t worrying about details, set up, and dealing with issues that arise.

She has an incredible ability to take care of every little detail while making you feel supported and celebrated. We are endlessly grateful to have had her by our side, and would recommend her to anyone getting married or planning an event.

Ashley, thank you for everything - you made our day magical.

- Paula and Jared

Ashley is a rock star planner and coordinator. She made the whole wedding planning process seem so easy! Not only does she know the best (and budget-friendly) vendors to work with, but she executes your wedding vision perfectly. She is organized, experienced, and detail-oriented.

On the day of the wedding, I never had to worry about something going wrong and if it did, I knew that Ashley would take care of it. This allowed my now-husband and I to actually enjoy our wedding rather than stressing out about it. I cannot recommend Ashley enough. She is truly an exceptional planner.

My bestie wanted a Pride and Prejudice quote cake for her birthday and Velvet Lane did not disappoint! The ordering process was quick and easy, and the member of staff I spoke to was very accommodating of my special request for the hand piped message. We ordered the lemon raspberry flavour and it was delicious and HUGE as you can see from the photos. Money well spent . Thank you for making my friend’s birthday extra special !

Love the vintage cake decorating workshop at Velvet Lane Cakes!! Me and my girls had the best time with Danielle - she’s so incredibly patient and friendly and made the 2.5 hour class fly by! Despite all being new to cake decorating, all our cakes turned out so wonderful and professional looking! It’s a perfect activity to do with your friends and it’s such a treat being able to bring your cake home as well to enjoy!

I want to say a big thank you to Velvet Lane Cakes & Cafe for making our special moment of baby revealing gender so memorable! The cake was delivered right on time, despite that it was a Statutory holiday, it tasted delicious and was absolutely amazing! My husband and I were truly enjoying the cake and we were so happy with our choice! Highly recommended!

First off, i’d like to say they have friendly customer service and responded to our inquiries very quickly . However, i’m not sure what happened with our order:

Cake order was scheduled to be delivered via doordash at around 2pm on Sunday Aug 17. I received a text message that my order was picked up from the store and was on its way at 1:35pm.
At 1:55pm I get another text informing me that the order was cancelled (??)
Then the order was reassigned to another dasher at 2:25pm and was delivered at 3:28pm… again, not sure what happened here.

Now for the cake itself:
Looked great however the message and cherries were very poorly written. (see photo) We have seen other customers post images of their cake and their messages were written perfectly so i’m not sure why ours was like this.
The taste was ok… a bit dry. But the size of the cake was perfect.

Overall disappointed for the price we paid and what we received.

Delicious cupcakes. They have about 5-6 flavours. I liked all of them.

Each one is about $4-5 but you get a slight discount if you get half a dozen.

Other bakery items and coffee as well. Enough space to seat a few people too.

Lia made for a FLAWLESS wedding day! We used the month-of-coordinator service which was perfect for getting all of the last minute details sorted. She had great, professional communication with all of our vendors and venue staff - we did not have to worry about a thing! The flow of our wedding day was excellent and she kept us on schedule. Could not recommend Lia and her team enough!

Lia is amazing! She helped us execute the wedding of our dreams and took on the theme we wanted and made it happen. She kept track of all the details we didn't even know we needed to keep track of. She walked us through the structure of a wedding and personalized it for what we wanted. She was kind and courteous to guests and helped us rehearse beforehand. She kept every speech and photo session on track and on time to ensure we got to enjoy our wedding. She coordinated with our vendors so we didn't have to closer to the date of our wedding. She was great with the little touches that helped to make our night memorable and special and even made us a plate of food to make sure we were well fed during photo sessions so we got to taste our own appetizers and have special moments with each other during a very busy night which wouldn’t have happened without her. We are so thankful for her and highly recommend her.

Lia has been integral to my wedding day!!!! She had many meetings with me prior to my wedding and even more closer to the date (it was extremely helpful). I didn’t have to worry about a thing! She had everything planned out for me. Not only did she coordinate all the vendors and ensure we were on schedule, her energy and words of encouragement were priceless. She kept reminding us to take in the moment and be present - I appreciated this a lot 💕 The evening ran so smoothly and she was there at the drop of a hat if something needed to be addressed so that me and my husband could enjoy the day/ evening! I cannot fully express here how important of a role she played and I highly recommend her - the best money spent on my wedding! She had her assistant stay very late into the evening as well and helped me pack all our belongings which was also very helpful! Thank you Lia!!

This review is a little overdue.
I went back and forth so many times trying to decide if I wanted a day of coordinator. When I finally decided yes a month before my wedding I was so very lucky to find Lia. Lia and Grace were absolutely amazing! Everything was kept on schedule and it was all executed flawlessly. If you are thinking of going with a coordinator for your event book Lia and her team at Velvet Rope Events & Co you will not be disappointed.

I had the pleasure of working with Lia at Velvet Rope Events for my wedding. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and exceptional organizational skills made the last month of planning a breeze. From the initial consultation to the day of the wedding, she always had the best advice and organizational documents to ensure everything was completed on time. My family could not stop raving about VRE’s efforts throughout the day to make sure everything went as planned! I highly recommend Velvet Rope Events for their outstanding services and the unforgettable experience they provided!!

Great venue! Been to 2 shows there so far, both were amazing! Was able to get there no problem by transit once and easily found parking nearby the second time. Security was respectful and efficient, as were the bartenders. It was clean and there was a good amount of room in the back to escape the crowd while still being able to at least somewhat see the band on stage.

Great, intimate venue with amazing bands playing there. Security is respectful and always asks before checking bags. The staff are super friendly, and the prices are fair. There are benches at the back if you need to sit down, and the bathrooms are clean, which is always a plus.

The acoustics aren't the best, but the vibe makes up for it, it’s seriously awesome. It does get packed, so be ready to be shoulder to shoulder with the crowd. Depending on how you feel about that, your experience might differ. I've been there plenty of times and it’s always great to come back to this spot!

Great Queen West menu for live music. Low ceilings with lots of exposed brick. Great staff and very accommodating for people with accessibility issues.

Great space for live music! Sound quality and lighting are superb! Space is large enough to accommodate, but the washrooms are small, expect a lineup. The drinks/beers here are $16 each which is absurd for a single tall can of beer!
Overall would recommend 🤘

I love this venue. Security is always good staffed and even if it's annoying that they check each person very close, you can always feel safe. I like the dark room and the cute lights. The bar is huge and always a good time there.

I got insurance from them and they are super cool and quick. Shoutout to Stephen, his turnaround time was so quick that I got the insurance certificate in an hour. Totally recommend this place and team!

Fast call back and friendly people

What a wonderful experience! From start to end, we loved working with Vert. We are so lucky to have found them to cater our wedding and customize our menu with us. We loved the food, the presentation and everyone is still raving about how awesome the food tasted at our wedding. I would do it all over again just to eat the leftovers! Thank you guys for all you did for us. It was a magical day, and the leftovers kept me fed for a week after. WE LOVED IT!! 10 stars if I could!

Delicious lunch boxes for our company lunch and learn. Great variety in boxes including salad, artisnal chips, and sandwiches. The sandwiches were generously filled and all ingredients were fresh and delicious. I especially liked their steak sandwiches with chili lime sauce. The company was able to address our dietary concerns also.

Delicious food! Amazing steak sandwiches. Some of the best staff. You can win their cookies at Opera Bob's Trivia nights on Tuesdays.

Seriously the best food around. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you know you’re getting real quality food. The steak sandwich is the best steak sandwich I’ve ever had. No word of a lie. And the blueberry pancakes?! I can guarantee no diner in the city compares.
The atmosphere at Opera Bobs is amazing and friendly, watching the games is always a great time, but it’s the food from Vert Catering that first brought me in. It’s really that good.
And to top it all off, Marilyn and Pedro are two of the sweetest, most stand up people you’ll ever meet.
Take my advice: eat their food. You won’t regret it. You’ll be coming back for more.

I have ordered for corporate lunches and had nothing but positive experiences each time!
Marilyn is so accommodating ans efficient. She definitely goes above and beyond!
My clients love the lunches and the fact that all the packaging is eco friendly!
Definitely recommend Vert to all my clients, coworkers, family and friends!

We celebrated Father’s Day at Via Allegro Ristorante, and let me just say....WOW. I’ll admit, pulling up to a strip plaza had me second-guessing what kind of restaurant we were walking into. But the moment you step through the doors, it’s like entering a completely different world: upscale, sophisticated, and absolutely stunning. From the walk-in wine fridge to the pizza ovens and elegant decor, every detail is beautifully curated.

We arrived about 30 minutes before our reservation during a very busy dinner service, and the staff didn’t miss a beat and graciously seated us within 10 minutes. That level of accommodation and attentiveness really stood out.

The service throughout was exceptional. The staff anticipated our needs before we even asked and catered to every member of our family with warmth and professionalism, it truly elevated the experience.

And the food? Top notch. Yes, it’s on the pricier side, but worth every penny. From the appetizers to dessert, everything was flawless and we all left happily stuffed.

I genuinely can’t wait to return and enjoy another unforgettable meal.

We had the pleasure of dining at Via Allegro Ristorante, and from the moment we walked in, it was clear this wasn’t just a meal—it was an experience. You walk into the entrance and all of their awards greet designed on a golden wall greet you. This restaurant is sophisticated, elegant and entirely designed to the smallest detail. The ambiance is warm and sophisticated, blending modern elegance with classic Italian charm.

The menu is a true celebration of Italian cuisine. Every dish we tried—from the handmade pastas to the perfectly grilled meats—was executed with precision and passion. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and the presentation was just as impressive as the flavor.

What truly sets Via Allegro apart is its world-class wine list—one of the most extensive we’ve seen in the city. The sommelier helped us pair the perfect bottle with our meal, elevating the entire evening.

Service was impeccable: attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. Whether you’re celebrating something special or simply want a memorable night out, Via Allegro is a must-visit for any food and wine lover in Toronto.

I had a fabulous time at Allegro this weekend. The service was spectacular - Ben was super attentive the entire evening and the food was exceptional, especially the Sea Bass. The wine list was also impressive. I will definitely be back again real soon!!! 5 stars all the way!

Highly recommended!!! we had a small party of 20 people and everyone was having a great time with delicious food and service. We started with big portions of shareable appetizers that everyone could try everything and finished with shareable tasty desserts. There was nothing left to eat next day unfortunately 😂The main course had different choices and were prepared to our liking. The service was very friendly and efficient. Overall, it was an amazing experience that we would like to repeat again and again 😁thank you

My wife and I recently had dinner at Via Allegro Restaurant to mark a special occasion, it was the day after our wedding anniversary.

From the moment we arrived, the experience was excellent. The ambiance is refined yet warm, making it an ideal place for a celebration or a relaxed evening out.

We ordered a variety of dishes, and every single item was delicious. Each plate was prepared with attention to detail and balanced flavours.

The ingredients were clearly fresh, and the presentation reflected the standards you expect from an established restaurant like this.

The service was attentive without being intrusive. The staff were knowledgeable about the menu and made thoughtful recommendations when we asked.

Overall, it was a memorable dinner and a perfect way to continue our anniversary celebration. We will definitely be coming back and would recommend Via Allegro to anyone looking for quality dining in the area.
