Booked an appointment 3 weeks in advance around the schedule of the decorator have it confirmed in an email and show up with my mom and fiancé to find she isn't there.

Where do I begin?…read more When I started planning my wedding a year ago, I looked into prices for planners to organize the whole event. At that time, I found the quotes extreme and saw no reasons why I would not be able to plan it myself. As the wedding got closer, stress levels were elevated, drama was added to the table and everyone's threshold for patience dramatically dropped. It was about 4 or 5 months to the wedding that I realized I DEFINITELY need a planner for the Day-Of Coordination at least because I did not want to go through the same chaos on my wedding day. I met with another very well-known local planner. We met and then she disappeared on me after I had mailed her the cheque. She did not respond to my calls or emails for a whole month, later claiming that she thought I was uninterested in her services and was lying about the fact that I had mailed the cheque. I thanked God EVERY DAY after having met Sarah Shore from DreamGroup that things fell apart with the other planner. In our culture, it is customary for the elders in the immediate family to be in charge of the day and having a day-of coordinator was slightly surprising for some and many including my own mother believed that it was unnecessary. My mother is now Sarah's NUMBER ONE fan. She absolutely loved how having Sarah manage the day allowed her to actually enjoy the wedding. Every time that I or anyone in the bridal party was stressed, all we had to do was just talk to Sarah for 5 minutes and we would all forget why we were even stressed. The way that she is so calm and collected is inexplicable. All our guests are still raving about how everything was well planned and organized and it could have NEVER been possible without the help of Sarah. I have said this to Sarah many times that I could never do what she does for a living considering the amount of stress she has to deal with and yet manages to remain soooooooooooooooo calm. I used to think quotes for planners were extreme, now I think they cannot charge enough for the work they do. Seriously, without a doubt, even the thousands of dollars you might end up spending on a planner is worth EVERY penny because otherwise you will not enjoy all the other pennies that you spent on everything else since you will be too stressed out. I will not recommend anyone else as a planner for any occasion. DreamGroup is seriously your dream vendor.

Clearly they only want to work with some clients and if you do not fit the bill then they will not even respond. I would proceed with extreme caution.

I hired Filosophi as the 'day-of' coordinators for our wedding. I think it was one of the best…read moredecisions we made!! The ability to be stress-free on such an important day is invaluable. The girls were a huge help, even from a month out. They recommended reliable vendors, gave us great advice for do's and don'ts, and used their copious amount of wedding experience to help us choose a timeline that made the most sense. And, when it came time for them to take over communication with all of our vendors, I was so relieved to let go of the reins and just take time to relax. No follow ups, confirmations, problem solving, coordinating, just relaxing. I was a fairly organized bride with very clear visions of the decor set up... I found it SO comforting to know that every detail would be looked after on the day-of, and that none of my friends and family had to worry about doing anything either! We wanted to throw a great party that everyone could enjoy, and the last thing I wanted to do was assign tasks to everyone. There were a few hiccups throughout the day, some of which I didn't even find out about until the day after (sign of a great, calm coordinator!) I.e when it came time to go to the ceremony site, Margaux said there were a few more people trickling in, so let's have another mimosa and wait until everyone's ready. Turns out that it was the groom's parents and our ring bearer that were 30 minutes later than the agreed time! I'm SO glad I didn't know that. The photobooth was also an hour late, and Margaux took control of that - I never had to deal with it. She managed it so well that we ended up getting the 2h booth time for free! These girls are skilled at what they do, and they're extremely helpful and accommodating. There wasn't anything I threw at them that they didn't take in stride :-) They were worth every penny and I'd highly recommend them to anyone!

If you want to plan a destination wedding then Melba is your gal!:)…read moreMelba is so informative, patient, kind, and well mannered. She was so lovely to work with. Nothing, but good things shared about her from all our guests that booked and dealt with her. She made sure all the details were what we wanted and that the wedding planner at the destination always had the correct information. Really cannot compliment her enough. Was so fortunate to get her name as a recommendation from another bride. If you are planning a destination wedding I would highly recommend using Melba. I know in this day and age it seems funny to use an agent with the great deals online, but she was able to get an amazing package for the guests, and it was much easier trying to plan 60 people via one person versus multiple sites/airlines. Highly recommended! If you want patience, and a beautiful soul, use Melba!!!

Jordan with Fairy Godmother Weddings planned our wedding for us in June 2013 and I have to say,…read moreJordan and the entire team there are absolutely amazing! The number one thing I would recommend to any bride or groom who has a wedding to plan - large or small - is to work with a planner and to find somebody good early. We were referred to Fairy Godmother by another planner who couldn't work with us because of our budget (too small!), so we felt we were on good footing. We also heard great stuff from a friend who had worked with Jordan for their wedding the summer before, so again, the signs were all great from the start. Jordan's approach is fantastic and my husband and I both felt that she took the time to get to know us, and provided us with just the package and support we needed. She always had helpful ideas and suggestions when I needed some direction, and built on the vision we were creating for our big day. On the day itself, Jordan and her assistant Robyn were pure godsends. They helped smooth over family drama by providing 'professional' direction and advice to family members when needed (basically helping me keep things the way my husband and I wanted them without having to start any kind of family fuss because we could say it was all just being 'professional'), and they helped supervise all our friends and family who were helping out with various tasks. They dealt with vendors arriving and leaving and picking and dropping all the various items, and they even made sure we had food in our room at the end of the evening. I know I haven't even covered off all the things they did for us to make sure we had the most amazing day of our lives - all I can say is I had the most relaxing, fun-filled and stress-free day of my life on my wedding day - and I know not all brides can say that!! Thank you Jordan and the whole team at Fairy Godmother Weddings. I would highly recommend anybody work with you guys on planning - and executing - the wedding of their dreams!

Wedding planning is a full time job and it can be quite stressful but Nicole was always there to offer advice and calm my nerves. She is so personable, sweet and professional. She will always go above and beyond to make sure you are not overwhelmed. We chose to save money and not hire a decorator so Nicole and her team used the items we bought to decorate in the morning of the wedding day. The wedding day went smooth and they made sure to keep everything running on a timely matter. I could not recommend Nicole and her team enough and I would not hesitate for a second if you are looking for a planner to help you on your wedding. Thank you Nicole and team! We love you!
