Jennifer Bazinet did an AMAZING job helping my husband and I coordinate our wedding day. Great…read morecommunication from Jennifer from the beginning and very fast response time to any questions we had. Jennifer was also able to solve any problems or concerns we had (for instance, transportation and floor plans) and she exhibited great professionalism throughout the entire planning process! She organized our wedding rehearsal which went well and on the day of the wedding Jennifer was the main reason why everything went smoothly! We could not have pulled off such a successful event without her! I highly recommend her services to anyone that needs event planning! She really helps relieve the stress from all brides and grooms! Thank you Jennifer!

The gals at Bliss helped plan my wedding. As a girl who did not dream of what her wedding day would…read morelook like when she was a child, I was overwhelmed with all the decisions but had a very clear idea of what I did and didn't like. Whitney, one of their event planners was an amazing help. She thought of everything and made my day special. We had Bliss design our flowers and decorations and everything was cohesive and elegant. The outcome was stunning. The price, about 10% of the weddings total cost, was worth every penny.

I have had the extreme fortune to have known Tara (and her team) for several years and I've watched…read moreher company bloom into one of the absolute best in the city! I've used Tara's services many times for various events (small/intimate to larger functions) and I can say each and every experience has been flawless. In fact, I breathe a sigh of relief when I'm fortunate to get Bliss on board as I know my event is going to be "white glove service" through and through. Her sense of style and imagination is incredible and her ideas are aways on pointe. What I love most about a Bliss event is knowing every single detail is taken care of so all I every have to do is sit back and ENJOY :) I highly recommend Tara & Bliss events to anyone looking for a quality planner. Wedding, corporate or intimate gathering, Bliss is my go to, 100%.

Hire this team!!…read more Nickie was absolutely amazing to work with. She planned my wedding and it went off without a hitch! She found us a venue, caterer, photographer, and officiant all UNDER budget. And her decor ideas and centrepiece inspiration were genius and invaluable. She was also our day-of coordinator and I didn't even know until AFTER the wedding that our photographer locked all her gear in her car and we almost missed out on documenting our entire big day, and, when the bartending team made a stink about providing guests with certain preferred drinks, she had it sorted in mere minutes. She helped with seating charts, decorating, flower arrangements, hotel accommodations for guests, and so much more. And she did it with the organizational skills of Martha herself. I'm serious, hire her.

She was attentive, professional and worked with us to realize our vision. She helped with the decor design and day-of-coordination and helped make our day truly wonderful. Thank you!

Queena executed the decor for my wedding day. She is extremely thorough and has an eye for detail…read more People ask me who do my decorations and I'm proud to refer them to Queena. She decorated the church and the reception area. There was a complication with the venues table linens that were being supplied and Queena was so reassuring and kept telling me not to worry. She was able to find me the right colour linens that went with my theme on the day of the wedding. I feel truly blessed to have met Queena and will continue to use her services for any upcoming birthday parties.

I should preface this review by saying our wedding was cancelled due to the Covid Pandemic, so…read moreunfortunately our full vision of the wedding never did come to fruition. That being said, Ishita was the most amazing wedding planner. She is extremely organized, thoughtful, and focused, and will advocate for you and your wedding when talking to vendors. We had a tight timeline which she readily accommodated and took on the massive task of helping us plan the whole thing. She kept us moving along every month and helped immensely with the decisions on vendors, providing us with excellent pre-vetted options to chose from. Beyond her wedding planning skills, Ishita is simply a lovely person. She was so easy to get along with and truthfully by the end of our process I really feel like I hired a wedding planner and ended up with a friend. If you're thinking about hiring Ishita-- go for it, you will not regret it!

My husband and I (a former bride) hired Olivia as a day of coordinator and she certainly went above…read moreand beyond day of duties. We hired her very early on (about 8 months before the wedding). We appreciated that she had the foresight to suggest that early on for us to connect 2 months before the wedding. This meeting ended up being a huge help in organizing all the final details left such as the timeline and schedule. As our wedding was the first Vietnamese wedding she coordinated, she did her best to ensure our cultural traditions were included, even arranging a separate chat with my mother. We were in frequent contact the month leading up to the wedding and she was always responsive. Olivia was so patient in helping us go through SO MANY versions of the timeline and schedule and gave all the right feedback and asked all the right questions for us to take back . She met with us in-person a few times as well, for site visits and to help with some pre-wedding day decorating. On the day of the wedding, Olivia was EVERYWHERE, doing her best behind the scenes so that everything went smoothly. I'm sure there were issues I didn't even know about because Olivia was there to address it! We had a long day with two ceremonies, a photoshoot, and a dinner reception, all in different locations, and with a super packed schedule. Olivia supported us through and through and helped us not only survive, but also enjoy it! She bought her own emergency kit and it was definitely helpful the one time I saw it in action - my husband spilled on himself and Olivia came to the rescue with a stain remover! She did so much, gathering people together, getting us food and water, setting up our DIY decor (which was done amazingly to our vision), and so much more. At the end of the night, she helped us pack away the DIY decor. She ended up staying with us for a whopping 16+ hours, and drove us to our honeymoon suite when all was over. Overall, Olivia is very organized, detailed-oriented and coordinates with kindness and in consideration of your needs as a couple. If it wasn't clear, we highly recommend Olivia and absolutely love her!

We had the pleasure of working with Melissa and Morgan (owners of Lustre Events) to design and plan…read moreour summer 2022 wedding in Toronto at the Miller Lash House. We were blown away with their services from start to finish. They are thoughtful and observant in obtaining information from their clients about design preferences. When we received their design plan for us, we could not have been more thrilled. They captured all the elements of the design and wedding experience that we were hoping for and even suggested additional special elements (like a Tiki bar) that we hadn't thought of ourselves, but absolutely loved. Melissa and Morgan were also thoughtful in helping us plan the multicultural aspects of our wedding, weaving together seamlessly different cultural traditions. The end result was unique, elegant and received glowing feedback from all of our guests. In addition to all of this, Melissa and Morgan were extremely organized and on top of our wedding timeline. Of note, our wedding was not the easiest to plan, as we live in NYC and were planning during the pandemic. This did not prove to be a barrier as Melissa and Morgan held Zoom meetings with us and handled everything on the ground in Toronto until we had our final planning meetings in person. We felt completely confident in them, even as two type-A New Yorkers! Lastly and perhaps most importantly, they are an absolutel joy to work with. Their warmth and positivity put us at ease, not just during the planning process, but also on the day of the wedding. They were super adaptable -- any last minute challenges that arose were handled swiftly and competently by Melissa and Morgan. It is clear that they have strong relationships and are beloved by all their vendors, and there are clear examples of us benefitting from these strong relationships. At the same time, we never felt pressured into using a particular vendor, and Melissa and Morgan also worked seamlessly with several new vendors that we introduced. And while always positive, Melissa and Morgan were also transparent with us at all stages. When they had strong feelings about certain decisions based on their extensive experience, they did not hesitate to guide us. All in all, we wholeheartedly recommend Lustre Events for anyone planning a wedding. They made our dream wedding come to life!

$4,000 of our hard-earned money down the drain.... Contracted Melissa in the late summer and after…read moreless than 6 weeks had basically nothing from her expect pages of links to venues with zero value-add info or budget details. Email responses incredibly slow. As a result, we sourced our own venue and when the date was unavailable to Lustre events, we made the decision to release them. They refused to refund any portion of our $4k deposit. Over the course of 6 weeks, we estimate Melissa spent less than 3 hours on us, we never even met Morgan. We requested a partial refund (from our perspective this was generous) to which she immediately gaslighted us... launching into what appeared to be a heavily scripted response, it was clear she's done this to others, dishonest vendor, very important lesson to always read the contract! Absolute scam.
