Best Event Planning Agencies In Vancouver Near Me

Mitchell Hoyle: Honestly where do I even begin with how much my partner and I loved Jennifer Schafer and the whole Umbrella Events crew! We had interviewed a few candidates for planning our wedding ahead of time, but as soon as we started up our call with Jennifer it was an instant connection. She is so kind, patient, and positive, and always makes your ideas feel heard while also lending her professional experience to enhance it ten fold. Not to mention all of this was done during the pandemic where we were working with a lot of what-if's and constraints of what we could and could not do. Still, the day turned out amazing, and Jennifer was SEAMLESS in her ability to coordinate and make everything flow perfectly. To be honest I barely saw her during the wedding day except when she needed to be seen and I mean that in the best way possible. It was truly a wedding without hiccups or mishaps and I attribute that to Jennifer and all the work she put into making it special for us. As a queer couple, this is a very LGBT+ friendly company, and I could not recommend them, and Jennifer, enough to make your wedding day the best day you've ever had.

Sarah Bales: Jennifer was our planner and we could not have picked a better one! We did the 3 month takeover and she was incredible. Soooo detail oriented, kept her cool throughout, executed on our vision so perfectly. I still have no idea if there were any mishaps or issues on the day of!!! Even my guests were complimenting her and how gentle, yet effective her style was. If you’re looking for a responsive, detail oriented, and really kind planner then book umbrella! Worth every penny.

Randeep Dosanjh: I hired Ariel Cachon as our Day of Coordinator from Umbrella Events for our Big Day. Ariel is awesome! Not only is she fun, super down to earth but this woman knows how to pull off a seamless event! She is an absolute pleasure to work with and pulled off the exact vision I was after for our wedding day. She responded in a timely fashion to all my emails, accommodated calls and in-person meetings when needed. I was a stress-free bride on my wedding day thanks to Ariel and her exceptional organizational skills. A huge thank you to Kim as well who was the 2nd wedding coordinator on hand at our wedding from Umbrella Events, she did a great job as well. What I liked most about working with Ariel was her relaxed but can-do attitude, thank you for making our wedding day one of the most memorable days of our lives!

Samantha Bates: Jennifer was absolutely incredible to work with. We hired her for month-of coordination, decor planning, and takedown services. She has the perfect personality for wedding planning; outgoing and confident to get the job done, but genuine and down-to-earth to make it feel easy and fun.She navigated challenging logistics and changing circumstances like a pro, always ready with creative ideas and solutions. She advocated for our vision and made sure that our day turned out the way we wanted. And it did!! My husband and I were mindful about all of our wedding costs, but we were SO glad that we chose to invest in her services. Beyond worth it. Thank you again, Jennifer!

Emma Hammond: Ariel was our wedding coordinator and decorator, and did an incredible job. She replied to all my questions quickly and was on top of planning ahead of the wedding. And on the wedding day, I didn't have to worry about a thing, she organized it all and made the day perfect, and run smoothly. I couldn't have asked for a better day.

Mercedes Book: Cristie was incredible in the event planning of a hybrid corporate event across two offices and also online logistics. Thrilled with the result. Thank you Cristie!

Jess Whalen: Cristie from Umbrella Events was absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding. Courtesy of COVID, she planned our wedding a couple of times over. She is so attentive, organized and such a pleasure to work with. She made the planning process and day of so seamless. Her experience is very evident when working with her and she has an extensive network of vendors to refer to. Her friendly personality and efficiency make her an ideal wedding planner & business owner!! We can’t say enough about how happy we were with Umbrella Events & Cristie! Thank you for making our day so magical!

Justine Spencer: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueI can't say enough good things about Umbrella Events as our wedding planner. We were lucky enough to work with Ariel who was lovely, professional, and helped us pull off the pandemic wedding of our dreams! They went above and beyond in many aspects of the process and I can wholeheartedly recommend them for your wedding or event.

Gladys N: How do I summarize how incredible Cristie is? She was hands down the sole reason we were able to pull the most beautiful backyard wedding during a pandemic of all times! As if organizing a wedding on a regular day weren't hard enough we decided to do it in late August! We truly can't ever thank her enough for being so wonderful to work with. She thought of all the details we wouldn't have even considered until it became a disaster on the day of. Instead, we were able to enjoy ourselves and all of our guests and had the best time ever. She pulled off the most beautiful wedding for us, but most importantly she was amazingly positive, sweet and just a blast to work with. Cristie you are a GEM!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts 3

Noemi Pomerleau: (EDIT: Updated following response from Umbrella Events)We got married last June, so it's been a few months, but every time I think about the wedding reception, I still feel frustrated by our experience.Hiring a day-of coordinator was almost certainly overkill for our small event, but I was planning it mostly alone, and didn't want to spend my day fussing and worrying over small details, so at the last minute I decided to hire someone to help, purely for peace of mind. In the end, though, a few crucial details got missed anyway.We were assigned Jennifer, and in the lead-up to the wedding she was great. She arranged pick-up for our wedding cake and other decor items, she helped me negotiate with the venue, she was super responsive in her emails. I was beyond thrilled and sure we were going to have a great experience with her.The day of the reception, though, things didn't go so smoothly.First, Jennifer showed up as scheduled to meet me at the venue, where I had dropped off a bunch of decor and prizes and my shoes and dress so I could change later. I told her my husband was going to arrive soon with desserts and other things and would need help unloading his car. I thought I had been clear, and Jennifer was just going to park her car and come back to meet him. I went off to hair and makeup, I texted my husband that she'd be there to meet him. All seemed well.When he showed up, nobody was there. He had to unload the entire car of all the materials and desserts, walking from two blocks away and making him a sweaty mess in the process. (EDIT: In the response, Jennifer went to lunch & remembers telling me that, but we had some crossed wires because she didn't know he needed help, & I didn't know she was at lunch!) Guests started arriving shortly after. Jennifer and her assistant helped hand out drink tickets, and we seemed to be back on track. The first couple of hours went flawlessly - Jennifer was probably super bored, with things going so well.Then, speeches started. The audio was WAY too low, and my mother-in-law was barely audible, even to me, who was sitting right next to her. Guests in the back kept talking over her, and I could see people visibly straining to hear. Despite me asking, at no point did somebody turn up the audio. I couldn't do anything, being pinned up at the front next to the speech-giver. I was very upset that Jennifer didn't step in.Worse, though, was when dancing was due to start. After our first dance, which had some audio hiccups at first (to be expected, as the first audio switch of the night) the audio got turned down, and when the party playlist came on it was nearly muted. A crowd of us shouted for the audio to be turned up, but nobody did it. My husband left to get the sound turned up, but - predictably - he got stopped by 15 people on his way. It took 20 minutes for the sound to get turned up, and by the time my husband returned almost an hour later, people were done dancing. He'd put together a custom mix for the party and was hugely invested in the music, so he was devastated. It's still the first thing that comes up when we remember that day, because he was so upset by that stolen moment. I was disappointed that after the issues with the first dance, nobody had been double-checking the audio or paying attention during the switch.Finally, at around 10pm, Jennifer came to tell me she was leaving. She'd never mentioned she'd be leaving early (three hours before the event was due to end). I was in shock. (EDIT: Since my review they clarified this was because we opted out of tear-down, which makes sense, but I wish it had been on the event schedule.)Overall our wedding was a huge success, but after paying $1500 for a simple job, I expected more. It was disappointing that these small mistakes and miscommunications had such big impacts on our memories of the day, when that was exactly what I was trying to avoid.(EDIT: Upped the rating to 3 stars to better reflect all the work Jennifer did in the lead-up to the event, despite the misses on the day of.)

David Eng: Umbrella events planned our wedding at the Vancouver Pipe Shop in the fall last year and we couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out!! Their expertise and 'on-the-spot' thinking was invaluable and Cristie was great to work with!

Mary Hein: We had the best experience working with Cristie at Umbrella Events. We had a clear vision of what we wanted, and were able to take on the planning ourselves, but we hired Cristie for her month-of coordination services. She was fun, professional, communicative, and so very organized - all the other vendors complemented us when they received the schedule she prepared. She was receptive to all of our ideas, and executed everything perfectly. On the day of, we were able to relax, enjoy, and fully participate in the celebration, without having to worry about a single detail. We could not have done it without her and her team!

John Bello: I. Love. Cristie. I get the chance to work with Cristie on so many weddings and events throughout the year and every one of her couples has a similar story that sounds something like this: "..Cristie is amazing..it only took us seconds after meeting with her, that we knew she was the one we wanted to hire." And it makes total sense.Her attention to detail, passion, enthusiasm, energy and heart make up the foundation of everything she does and Umbrella Events and her team is PROOF of that. 3

Greg: Is there a 10 star option?? 10 stars out of 5.Cristie is absolutely exceptional. She is so well organized, fun, and outgoing. She really put my fiancee (now wife) and I at ease with getting things organized and setup. Our wedding was a blank slate, so we built it all from scratch with multiple vendors -- I just simply can't say enough about how valuable her presence was leading up to, and especially on, our big day. Cristie you and your team are rock stars. THANK YOU!

Amanda Pizzo: Cristie and her team absolutely made our day! We are so grateful we found her and decided to invest in a coordinator and planner for our wedding. We were SO happy and impressed with the entire experience. From help with every step in the planning process, her responsiveness, organization, knowledge and expertise, creativity, and more. One thing I really appreciated was that Cristie truly took the time to understand my vision and hopes for the day. I had the security that she understood the non-negotioables and things that were most important to me and she was willing to fight for these things and communicate them to our vendors. As well as all the little details too! The other main value that Cristie and her team brought was the day-of coordination. This was invaluable for us as it allowed us and our families to relax and enjoy the day knowing that every detail was taken care of. Not only that but her and her team added so much fun and joy to the day as well. We could not be more grateful!

Halley Keevil: We needed a wedding coordinator for our reception and are SO glad we went with Umbrella Events! Stephanie made everything run smoothly from start to finish and was absolutely brilliant. We really feel like the reception planned itself, but it was all Stephanie! She was also really fun to be around and a genuinely great person. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks, Umbrella Events!

Vanessa Fernando: My wife & I worked with Jen at Umbrella Events for month-of coordination, and she and her team were an absolute joy to work with. From our first meeting, we felt her genuine excitement about our event, and were so impressed by her knowledge about all the details we might have otherwise forgotten. She was very efficient, reliable, and committed to realizing our vision; she was always checking in with us, which allowed us to feel at the centre of the process (making sure that we didn't get lost in the details). When last-minute hiccups came up, Jen was very calm under pressure and helped us find an even better solution! We feel so lucky to have been recommended Umbrella Events - it wouldn't have been the same without them. Thank you Cristie, Jen, and Blair for helping our wedding day be such a magical queer forest success!

Cascade Tent & Event Rentals: We worked with Cristie and her team last March for a production wrap up party and we couldn't be more pleased with their service! Great communication from start to finish and very detail oriented. Looking forward to working with them in the future!

Glorianna Anderson: We worked with Cristie and her team this February for our wedding and we could not be any happier! Hiring her was by far one of the best decisions we made. She is such a kind, enthusiastic and fun person and went above and beyond to make sure that everything went well. She was a pleasure to work with and very professional! I truly felt stress free on the day of the wedding knowing that Cristie was there organizing, coordinating and just being her amazing self! We had endless compliments about how beautiful the venue looked and how smooth everything went! If you are thinking of hiring someone to help throughout your whole planning process, or just the month before, or even just the day of please consider working with Cristie. You will NOT be disappointed!

Emma B: Cristie helped us plan our wedding almost a year ago, she was absolutely amazing, she had a tonne of great advice and really helped make our day a stress-free and wonderful experience. Couldn't recommend her highly enough! Thanks again Cristie!

Rhianna R: Brynn Belisle and Dream Group were wonderful! I can’t imagine having to plan on our own at the best of times but with the added stress of covid we would have been lost without Brynn. Brynn kept us calm and organized during a wild 2 years of uncertainty, a covid postponement, and a family emergency. She is an excellent communicator and very attentive. Her attention to detail while organizing our timeline was beyond helpful. We felt very relaxed the day of our wedding knowing we were in such great hands. Having Brynn allowed us to forget about the behind the scenes details and be fully present on our wedding day.

Eve Wong: If you’re looking for someone to help make your dream wedding a reality, we highly recommend Jessie from DreamGroup! From the very first meeting up to when the last vendor left our venue, Jessie was impeccable with her level of detail and organization. Without Jessie, the wedding never would have gone as smooth as it did. She really went above and beyond from contacting all of the vendors to helping out set up all of the decorations. Her eye for detail and design is excellent! She helped us with transporting all of our decorations to the venue and made sure that everything was set up in the exact way that we wanted it to! After the ceremony, Jessie helped us transport the florals from the arch to our sweetheart table and made it look immaculate! These are just the few things that shes done. Jessie always helped to make great suggestions and was always there for us whenever we had any questions! She is just amazing! Thank you Jessie for helping us make our special day even more memorable!

Rose Shumiatcher: My husband and I got married January 2023. We had Olivia Woolwich as our planner. She was absolutely fantastic. In the wedding planning phase she was helpful and also did not add any additional stress. On the day of the wedding she kept everything running smoothly which was so so so important. We highly recommend Olivia!

Copeland Lucas: We had a wonderful experience with Brynn and DreamGroup from the initial phone call to the end. Brynn is responsive, articulate, managed our vendors expertly, made our order of priorities clear and kept us accountable to our budget. Our Big Day matched our vision and was a fantastic wedding. Thank you to Brynn and the team.

Anna Hamilton: Our wedding day would not have been the same without Brynn from Dreamgroup. She went above and beyond our expectations. She is extremely prompt, knowledgeable and thorough. Pre-wedding she was able to answer all of our questions and concerns, always relieving any stress we had. On the wedding day she made us feel very calm and was intimately involved in every detail of the day ensuring everything ran smoothly (and it couldn’t have been better). Five stars isn’t enough to rate this angel on earth that is Brynn - we would rate higher if we could! Best day of our lives because she is the best in the business. Couldn’t have pulled off such a perfect day without her. A million thank yous to Brynn!

Don Reyes: My better half and I have experience in organizing events, but we wanted to keep wedding planning as stress-free as possible. We chose the Wedding Day Essentials package and we were paired with Cayenne - we knew we were in great hands from the first conversation as she demonstrated equal parts of calm, humour, and the willingness to learn about her clients. On top of this is her deadly precision in knowing what to do/say and when with ourselves and our vendors and we realized just how lucky we were to have her on our side.From reviewing contracts and providing commentary, to keeping us on track with timelines and deadlines, to always thinking about the "what if..?" or the "how about...?" situations and scenarios, the planning process was pretty darn low stress and this was definitely the case during the big day.Our wedding was approximately 125 guests - Cayenne and her assistants made the entire day FLAWLESS! We were ahead of schedule in cocktail hour, group photographs, and the tea ceremony to the point where we were able to get an extra 90 minutes with our photographers before the sun set!

Jenny Liu: My husband and I had the privilege of working with Jessie from DreamGroup and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Jessie was our wedding day coordinator and we cannot commend her enough for her professionalism, responsiveness, patience, and attention to detail. During our meeting one month before the wedding, Jessie created a detailed schedule for the day and pointed out some of the things that we hadn't thought of or that required further follow-up. Jessie was always thinking one step ahead, which kept us on track to finalize every little detail with our vendors leading up to the big day. She was very accommodating and receptive to what we wanted on our day, which made us feel very comfortable.On the day of the wedding, Jessie and her assistant took care of everything and made sure that we were able to enjoy our day, completely stress-free and just be in the moment. Everything went so smoothly and we received so many compliments from our guests saying how wonderful and organized the wedding was. We owe it all to Jessie, and cannot thank her enough for playing a key role in creating our dream wedding!We would highly recommend Jessie and DreamGroup to any newly engaged couple that wants to have an outstanding wedding experience!

Amy Le: Our wedding is more than we could dream of. From Olivia's careful planning and mindful execution she was able to give us our Pinterest worthy wedding. Our wedding day was full of joy and beauty that we will forever cherish.From the initial consultation to the to the finest details of our wedding, Olivia was there to make everything flawless and stress-free. She listened and added personal touches that made our big day even more memorable. The vendor's she recommended were phenomenal. They were extremely professional and outstandingly creative.My husband and I are forever grateful of Olivia wonderful gift of planning our wedding. She is a marvellous person who is very professional and genuinely listened and catered to our requests. if you are getting married and are looking for a experience, efficient, well organized and have a good style wedding planner, please do not hesitate and contact Olivia. It will be the best decision you will ever make.A&T

Gloria C: Jessie was the wedding planner for my wedding. Pretty sure the day wouldn’t have gone as smoothly without her there. She was professional and organize throughout the whole process. Kept us on track throughout the whole planning process and made sure everything was done and ready for the day of. Really glad that Jessie was there as the whole thing was really beautiful and really memorable.

Rea Yoh: After much research, my husband and I chose DreamGroup to plan our wedding, given their reputation as one of the best planning groups in the Vancouver area. We were not disappointed. Sandy was our planner, and she happily guided us from the beginning and continued to help us after the wedding. She was open to answering our many questions, no matter how trivial or silly, and offered so much advice. I can easily say that my wedding day was the best of my life, and I have DreamGroup to thank for that.

Erica W: We first had the pleasure of meeting Jessie back in 2019 for our 2020 wedding and right off the bat, we knew we wanted Jessie to coordinate our big day!In our initial meeting she offered so much advice and gave us a true idea of how much our ‘ideal’ wedding would cost. We left the meeting feeling like we received so much helpful information and felt that she deeply cared about how successful our wedding was.Due to Covid, we ended up having to postpone our wedding twice. I remember back in March of 2020, when everything was shutting down and I was stressing out over what to do with the wedding, I saw an email from Jessie telling us she already contacted our venue to see if there was another day available the following year. She also checked with all our other vendors to see what their availability was as well. Despite it being a very emotional time having to postpone, Jessie's proactive and sensitive approach to the way she assisted us was truly amazing.We finally were able to have our wedding in July 2022 and throughout the 3 years, Jessie was always so responsive and quick with emails. Planning a wedding can be very stressful, especially when it's a 250 person event, but Jessie was so personable and easy to talk to, that she made planning our wedding so enjoyable and fun.Thanks to Jessie, we truly had our fairytale wedding. I can’t say enough good things about Jessie and I would recommend her to anyone!

Emma V: Matthew and I hired Alexa with Dreamgroup for day of coordination for our wedding. She was a referral from a friend who used her services in the past, and boy are we happy we chose to work with Alexa and Dreamgroup! From the beginning of my 2 year wedding planning process, Alexa was open to any emails or phone calls that I had, and sent a very comprehensive checklist of things to do up until the wedding day, which I used “religiously”. During our planning meeting a month before the wedding, Alexa was super organized, discussing and finalizing little pieces I hadn’t even thought of, and made sure to follow up with any vendors if necessary after our discussion. Leading up to and on the day of the wedding, Alexa and her team were extremely organized and made the environment super relaxed and stress free. I know how much was going on behind the scenes with Alexa coordinating the vendors, the venue, etc., but based off the way she acted, you would never know! She was extremely relaxed and it was fun to laugh and smile with her to ease my nerves as well. Everything went super smooth on our wedding, and I can say so much of that was because of Alexa. I couldn’t recommend Alexa and Dreamgroup MORE - they are incredible!

Lynita White: Hiring Alexa at DreamGroup was the best thing we could have done for our wedding! Alexa is professional, but also has a funny and sweet personality that makes her so easy to get along with. She was a welcome presence at our rehearsal dinner and wedding for this very reason! Alexa is so easy to communicate with from beginning to end, and she was also able to take complete control on the wedding day to make everything run seamlessly. One of the biggest priorities of our wedding was to make sure that both we and our guests did not feel like we were working, and Alexa made sure that we achieved that and more. She did so much work behind the scenes to make feel pampered on the day. She made sure all VIP guests were fed before and during the wedding, ensured that we were on time in the limo and shuttle, and kept the timeline of the day running smoothly. Alexa wasn’t hired to decorate the event, but went above and beyond with setting up our personal belongings - the set up looked better than I could have ever imagined.There were a few mini emergencies on our day (venue front door locked when we were supposed to arrive! Difficulties corralling guests!), but Alexa handled them easily. She is someone to depend on for sure.All of our other vendors loved working with Alexa. We also had guests taking Alexa’s business card at our wedding because they plan to hire her for their events! I would love to see her at a future event, and if we need any events planned in the future, Alexa will be the first person I reach out to. I highly recommend hiring a month-of coordinator if you plan to get married, and if you can, you should definitely work with Alexa.

Chloe & Jose: We are so glad that we picked DreamGroup out of all the wedding planners that we shortlisted - and even more glad that we got partnered up with Alexa to plan out Day Of Coordination.From the first appointment to the very last item to be packed up at the end of our wedding day, Alexa was there to make sure every single detail of what we wanted to do was well executed.The whole process of planning was very smooth starting with DreamGroup's resource guide recommendation of all possible vendors that couples can use. From there, planning the wedding was easy and Alexa was accessible and knowledgable when it came to bouncing off ideas during our meetings. During the Wedding Day, it was such a breeze working with Alexa and her assistant. All our vendors were informed on every single detail of our special day and Alexa and her team handled it all. We didnt have to worry at all on how our special day would go - it enabled us to be free of stress and focus more on entertaining our guests!Thanks so much DreamGroup, Alexa and team!

Deborah Hong: We were looking for a month-of coordinator as we had done a lot of the preliminary planning and booking and wanted someone to take the lead at the end so we can enjoy the time with each other and our families. After meeting Cayenne in January, we knew she was the right person for our wedding as she was so friendly and very organized. The questionnaire was a great way for us to see where we were with our planning and see what was still missing. Once she got all our previous planning down, she was on top of all our wedding details and made everything seamless.The meetings and check-ins starting two months before the wedding were perfect as it allowed us to get any last minute tasks completed and really helped us be stress-free leading up to the big day. On the day of our wedding we were really able to enjoy the day as we knew that everything would run smoothly because of her. She checked in with us throughout the day and made sure we were happy and taken care of.Having Cayenne and DreamGroup as our coodinators was hands down one of the BEST decisions we made when planning our wedding! I have told everyone they need to have a coordinator for their wedding and highly recommended Cayenne.

Claire Demner: We worked with Olivia Woolwich with DreamGroup and she was amazing. We had a COVID wedding, so got bumped twice, but Olivia was available throughout the process, helped us move the date (twice) and then once we actually got married in 2022 she was exceptional. She made the process so easy for us, to the point where multiple people commented on how stress free I was. Olivia helped us with arranging everything the day of, making sure we didn't forget anything, set up, take down, as well as was fantastic in helping with our decor. She was truly a pleasure to work with and we cannot recommend her enough.

William R Slap: Chrissie from Dream Group did an incredible job planning our outdoor destination wedding on the Sunshine Coast, B.C. while we were busy in graduate school in North Carolina.We are so grateful for Chrissie—she is the most committed, reliable, talented, hardworking, meticulous, caring, professional, thoughtful, creative, wise, skilled, and fun wedding planner we could have possibly worked with!Chrissie is the very best investment one can make in their wedding planning journey, and she was involved and plugged in every step of the way. Our wedding presented us with a number of potential logistical challenges, but Chrissie took on all the complexities at every step of the way with so much grace, level-headedness, and skill.Chrissie took care to understand our wedding vision and she helped us refine my dream aesthetic/design goals. Chrissie took every opportunity to advocate for me with venders to ensure that my vision became reality, and she always delivered. Her communication, professionalism, organization, and troubleshooting skills are totally praiseworthy!Chrissie truly went above and beyond at every step of the way to ensure that my wedding weekend was a dream-come-true no matter what. Chrissie is an investment, and she is WORTH IT. She is the best of the best. Look no further.

Barbara Paul: Wow, it has been such a long time since we first contacted DreamGroup to look after our wedding, which was postponed due to Covid. We were finally able to have our dream wedding at Brock House on August 6th with our full complement of guests.I am writing to you to sing the praises of your planner Jill Bryan. I cannot say enough great things about her calm and reassuring presence. Jill met us ahead of time at our home and took photos and notes of all our decor plans. I knew my vision would be recreated well. We met her at our rehearsal two days before the wedding, where her amazing SUV managed to hold all our decor plus 100 wrapped tea cups! Once everything was loaded up, we knew we could relax, knowing it was all in such capable hands. The day of the wedding could not have gone more smoothly. The bride's room was all set up and waiting when we arrived, and so was Jill! The decor was set up exactly as I had envisioned. Jill was able to quietly keep everything and everyone on track and was always there when you needed her. Not a single item was missed or forgotten. I think my favourite thing was Jill making sure I had plates of all three types of wedding cake! Thank you for making our day so flawless, Jill. We couldn't have done it without you!

Lisa Chen: We are so glad to have had Chrissie from DreamGroup as our wedding planner. When we started planning our wedding, we were still unsure with covid restrictions still in place, but Chrissie gave us the best advice to navigate through that and put our minds at ease. We knew we wanted to have an over-the-top extravagant fairytale wedding but did not want any of the stress that came with planning. Chrissie delivered. She really pulled through, took care of us, and made us feel totally calm and collected all the way up to the wedding day. Her expertise in bridal, wedding and event planning really set her apart. She is so professional, knowledgeable, and thoughtful every step of the way. She is always thinking one step ahead and so aware of our tastes, likes, and dislikes. She listened to our feedback and was attentive to every little detail. Chrissie and the DreamGroup team were fantastic to work with and they made our day truly spectacular.

Tori Simons: If you’re looking for a wedding planner look no further. Our special day would have been impossible without Chrissie’s high level of organization, attention to detail, and knowledge of everything wedding related. She knows the wedding industry inside and out, and gave us amazing tips and recommendations. She kept us on schedule and was always a phone call or text away whenever we needed her. I can’t recommend her enough!!!

Noel Chase: The team at CountDown did an incredible job making our dreams come to life. They are fastidious communicators and truly are industry professionals. We couldn't speak highly enough of their work.

MN L: I don’t know how I would ever be able to organize my own wedding planning during this pandemic on top of my personal schedule, so it was a relief to have Jenny’s help with everything from deciding on vendors and managing different contracts! Jenny was also very responsive and accommodating especially since unforeseen circumstances caused some change of plans. 10/10 would recommend!

Michelle Chiu: We are honoured to partner with CountDown Events for our annual charity fundraising event: The White Envelope Event. Soha and Jenny were instrumental in bringing our vision to life. We were able to lean on their impeccable relationships in the industry to curate an amazing roster of catering, decor and operational partners to produce one of the most unique and special events in the country. The day of the event was seamless - Soha, Jenny and their amazing team worked seamlessly behind the scenes to ensure the event was flawless.CountDown Events is a world class event production team - very client focussed and responsive. Soha and Jenny's depth of experience allows them to anticipate and tackle any and all client needs and challenges that may arise with composure, grace and ease. They are amazing humans and wonderful to work with. Hands down the best in the industry - we would highly recommend working them!!

Farah: I have used the wonderful services of Soha and Jenny at Countdown Events for a number of events and have been thrilled every time. They are absolutely amazing! For each event, they far exceeded my expectations. They not only create gorgeous and unique events, they are incredibly organized, professional and lovely people. You do not need to worry about a thing, as they think of every detail and more. They are the best at what they do and I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Aida Kosari: Choosing CountDown events was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding.They are a very experienced and professional team. Since our very first meeting about event’s details, they exactly understood the vision I had in mind for my wedding and they executed everything in a perfect way.I’m a very particular person with obsessive attention to details and not too easy to work with, and I had very specific ideas about a lot of things. I usually have to explain things many times or micromanage people to get the result I want but it was different with them. They inspired a lot of confidence and showed they can be relied on for everything I wanted. I had such a piece of mind for my wedding day and was very confident that they would manage everything perfectly and they did! During the process, always, I just had to say what I wanted once, and it would happen without me having to follow up or check on things or having to explain any further. We went through a lot of ups and downs and changed the date several times because of COVID, and eventually had to finalize everything in three weeks and I don’t think anyone else would’ve been able to put everything together in such a flawless way in such a short amount of time but this team. Jenny was always pleasant and very patient and responsive. She had a backup plan for everything! Soha is amazing and in our design meetings she led the process with professionalism and passion and great attention to details and she didn’t stop until we got the perfect result! My wedding day was a perfect day. Everything went great and exactly how we planned. Matin was very helpful and always available whenever I needed anything and took such a good care of me.I had A LOT of stuff at the venue, many things for my Sofreh, a lot of personal stuff for my hair and make up, cameras,extra jewelries, extra shoes, extra dresse, veil, cause I changed everything, many little items ... And matin packed everything at the end of the day. When I opened my suitcases the next day I was soo impressed with the way everything was packed individually and placed beautifully with such a care and attention (even the bobby pins!) and it was a perfect ending to a perfect process! If you have a wedding or an event, CD is definitely the way to go!

Jamie: We used Countdown Events for the celebration of the opening of our new workspace, and it was top to bottom an incredible experience. Jenny and her team were responsive, adaptable, and incredibly professional. We are not event planners, so we leaned on Countdown with a lot of questions and requests, and they never wavered in making everything happen to an even higher standard than we anticipated.

tamee karim: We worked with CountDown Events for an event hosted in September for approximately 120 people. Soha and her team, in particular, Jenny, were amazing to work with. Their 'full meal deal' option was extremely helpful as every detail was lead and executed by them. They were easy to work with - ie: they took our ideas and ran with it and worked with us to remain within budget. Their expertise, knowledge, and industry connections were invaluable and helped us put on a 10/10 event.

Paulina Cameron: CountDown Events bring magic and delight to everything they create. They have been instrumental in helping us with the design and planning of FWE's annual Gala and making it stand out as Vancouver’s top fundraising “Event of the Year”. Both Soha and Jenny are true visionaries who can be counted on to create exceptional experiences year after year. We are beyond grateful for their contributions as Committee members, professionalism, positive energy, and continuous support of women entrepreneurs.

Hannah Smith: Children's Wish/Make-A-Wish is honoured to partner with the esteemed event production team at CountDown Events. This team brings our venue to life, from the lighting to table settings, CountDown Events leaves no detail untouched at the Night of Wonders gala. Year over year, they elevate our gala to the next level, creating an aesthetic brands jump to be aligned with. We love working with CountDown Events

Sandra Yaletown Photography & Film: Mixing passion and a whole lot of talent, Soha and Jenny are the ultimate dream team for wedding/event design & planning. The Countdown Team executes each and every event with the utmost professionalism and commitment and it has always been a pleasure working with them and seeing their creative vision and ideas come to life. Highly recommend!

Mina M: we just worked with Jenny and Soha for our wedding, they were so friendly and professional, I couldn't ask for anything more , definitely recommend them.

Nazanin Babaeipanah: There is an individual with the name of Nazanin Bp who has given Countdown Events FAKE 1 star review and this person is impersonating me, and using my name. Let me start off by saying that Soha and Jenny are not only kind-hearted and incredibly talented at what they do, they are visionaries in the wedding industry, and always strive to be the best. I look forward to continuing to see their success and growth in the industry.

Parmis Aslanimehr: I can’t thank Jenny and her team enough for everything they did in making our events a dream come true. We had two events (Welcome Party & Wedding) spaced one day apart and Jenny went above and beyond to make both nights flow seamlessly. She’s the kind of person that is quick to respond to your emails and texts. She’s always prepared for every meeting, she’s on time, and works with the best vendors in the city. She’ll think outside the box with you during the planning process and will nail your vision. She’s extremely dedicated in the planning process, and when the big day comes, you can just sit back and relax because Jenny and her team have everything under control. I highly recommend working with Jenny for any event as you can be assured that you’re in the best of hands.

Ava Clogg: We recently employed the services of countdown events for our wedding. We were assigned Jenny as our event planner as she had come highly recommended by a good friend. Her event management and organization skills, attention to detail, knowledge and professionalism were second to none. All her recommendations and contacts were excellent. Weddings can be extremely stressful but Jenny’s calming demeanour and problem solving abilities ensured that not only was the event flawless but also we were able to enjoy every moment of our special day completely stress free! We can not recommend Jenny and countdown highly enough. If you are looking for the best look no further.

T.J. Almodovar Real Estate: It's been almost a year since our wedding and I am still amazed at how Jenny and the team orchestrated our fairytale wedding.This review is coming from the perspective of a groom that wasn't the most hands-on in the roughly year-long planning process. We didn't have to take any time from our busy work schedules or even sacrifice any time from travelling or our social lives but CountDown Events took on the massive workload and delivered the wedding of my Wife's dreams and a day that I still dream about to this day. Our wedding was a 16/10.There were no missteps by their team but there are always surprises when dealing with so many different people, personalities and vendors. Jenny and the team are so plugged into the wedding industry that they can easily overcome these surprises with their contacts and resources.I've always imagined I would be featured in magazines like ESPN or TIME as a child. Now that I am older and understand that those dreams were quite farfetched, being featured on WedLuxe Magazine has been such a wonderful surprise. And this is all thanks to CountDown Events!To conclude, I know there are some future grooms out there reading this review and are battling to answer the age old adage "Is it worth it to hire a wedding planner when I am capable of doing it myself?" Simply save yourself the time, stress, and agony and hire one ASAP. And make sure you only hire the best in the industry: CountDown Events.

Janey Fieldgate: The best in the industry for a reason! Jenny was remarkable from the first meeting up until The big day. We worked together cohesively over the course of six months and created a vision that was your definition of a “dream wedding”. (Royal Wedding)Jenny’s professionalism, creativity, attention to detail and passion (just to name a few) translated into the whole process- which was utterly seamless. Jenny and the Countdown team not only made our wedding day stress-free, but the most magical it could possibly be.I cannot thank you enough for all of your hard work and persistence in making my dreams a reality! Each and every aspect of this planning process was so enjoyable, I can’t wait to do again for future events to come!

Moko Kourehchian: We were lucky enough to have the bests in the industry all because of having the best planner in the country, Countdown events did an amazing job not only on the day of the wedding, but also how to gathering everything together, referring and introducing all trades, and also how to communicate with all of them, arranging everything from the venue to the decor to the floral design to the photography and videography.Our wedding was a kind of last minute, we finalize the date only 2 months before, but the way that how everything went smoothly and organized was like everything had been arranged for a year! and having Jenny from Countdown events at All Phases and in every situation was an absolute relief.And on the day, we knew that everything will be fine, not just fine, perfectEverything had been done exactly the same as what we wanted and they scheduled it. I'm so grateful to have Countdown at our wedding.

Sonia Beyzaei: Working with Countdown Events has truly been a pleasure.Our wedding day was like a dream come true; flawless, perfect, exceptional and I cannot thank Jenny and the Countdown Events team enough for making it happen with their professionalism, hard work and amazing input. If you want your perfect dream wedding to come true, I would highly recommend countdown events. They’re simply the best in the city.

Ellie Yousefian: My Dear Jenny,I cannot thank you enough! You and your team are true professionals. You made a world of difference on our day, the way you managed everything allowed us to be in the moment and stay calm and secure that your team will resolve every challenge.I truly cannot thank you enough for making our dreams come true! Everyone was in awe and the energy was surreal. It was the most amazing way for us to start our lives as husband and wife and we'll never forget your efforts! I look forward to planning many more wonderful event with Countdown events! I cannot thank you enough and I will forever recommend you guys for every single event!They are incredible!

Charissa Principe: Working with Jenny and the team at CountDown to plan our wedding was the best decision we ever made!! My husband and I are from out of town so we knew we needed someone in Vancouver that was experienced and organized to keep us on track. After meeting with them and seeing so many of the beautiful weddings and events that they had planned we knew they were the right fit for us. Jenny was there every step of the way whether it was by email, text, in person or through a phone call. She understood our vision and assembled the best team of vendors to bring our dreamy Parisian wedding to life. Her professionalism, creativity and dedication truly shows and we couldn’t have been happier. Not only was she there to make sure everything was running smoothly but she also helped calm my nerves when I got too anxious :). Every detail was on point and we were able to enjoy one of the most special moments of our lives with our family and friends without a worry. We loved our experience with Countdown and would recommend them to any couple that is looking for a team that goes above and beyond. These girls nailed it and we can't thank them enough for all their hard work 3

Miriam Giordani: “We engaged Mixed Media Events to host our company’s painting social as a team bonding event. Our idea was for each of us to paint a canvas connected through a common theme, and the art work would then be displayed in our boardroom. Mixed Media was really accommodating to our ideas and tailored their team bonding activities to our needs. Miriam provided great feedback on how we should coordinate our paintings to make sure it would fit our office. Mixed Media also ensured a professional artist (Erica) was there to guide us and answer any questions we had about painting techniques. Even though we each had a different painting, Erica was patient and helped each of us walk through how we should approach our painting, and also provided tips on how to improve the painting. Miriam took photos throughout, and helped us capture some great moments. We also had food/drinks, and everything tasted great! It was a wonderful experience for our company, and we all enjoyed this team bonding event!” - Apex Fund Services, Vancouver BC

Courtney Leong: Sharon and Laura are experts in this industry. Responsive to emails, able to answer my questions, organized, timely and executed a flawless event. Definitely recommend!

Zyra T.: I called and talked to someone regarding renting a few items needed for a small wedding ceremony on Sep 16. The lady I talked to said to email her instead and she will send me an invoice. I emailed her on Aug 11 and I received NO reply to this day. I guess they don’t want to entertain potential customers who aren’t going to be renting a whole bunch of stuff. What a disappointment. Surprised I’m seeing 5 stars here.

Amanda Lade: We used imagine that events for our wedding and Laura and her team did a great job. The decorations were wonderful and she helped us the day of getting everything organized. Would definitely recommend!

Lauren Venema: Laura, Sharon and the team work miracles for our orientation event at the UBC Sauder School of Business every year! Every September our event takes on a different theme - amusement park, tropical island and this year was camping. One phone call to the Imagine That Events Team with our theme and our budget and they deliver us the coolest props and decor to bring our theme to life! They take care of everything from sourcing the items, planning, set up and take down, and always at a really reasonable price. With so many other elements of the event to worry about, working with this team is always so easy. Highly recommend.

Ariel Menta: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueMy husband and I used Imagine That for our wedding and they did such an incredible job decorating our backyard we didn’t even recognize it as our own - the staff were very responsive, had wonderful suggestions driven by experience, and they took all of the stress off setup and placement off of our hands!

Tammy Still: Very professional company and made our event so memorial. Love the attention they give to every detail. Highly recommend this company.

Nicole Yamanaka: I've had a couple experiences with Imagine That Events (both virtual due to COVID) - each time they really delivered an amazing experience. Honestly, I find myself inundated with Zoom meetings and resulting Zoom fatigue. I wasn't expecting a ton the first time, but I was thoroughly entertained and engaged at the online party. Then the second time, again, I thought "well, what's going to be different, it's still Zoom" and well I suppose I just enjoy being proved wrong. Thank you, Laura and Imagine That Events for both these great times. I can't wait for the next one!

Kalina Donald: It takes talent to design experiences in person... but online? That is a feat. Laura and her team at Imagine That Events design experiences that create fun memories that last forever!We have had the pleasure of working with Laura for many events in person and online.If you want to work with a team who can help you design memorable experiences, from parties in your homes, to your employees or clients, Laura and her team can do it in style. (Birthdays, Weddings, Pub Nights, Corporate Employee and Client Experiences including Conferences...) Love them all...

Steven Szalontai: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueWe did a zoom pub night that was so engaging and fun. We did a trivia game that was fun and challenging. It made for a great night.

Janyne Messelink: Just had our second corporate event arranged by Imagine That Events this season! They truly were lifesavers! I wasn't sure how our holiday parties would look like this year, or if we could successfully have any at all. They handled all the details, logistics and technology, managing everything including virtual hosting, gift package deliveries (to our entire staff spread out across the lower mainland), and arranging a very engaging team trivia game.They really took care of everything from the party platform to coordinating the entertainment to ensuring all the audio-visual needs were managed. Our staff was really impressed and would like to do this more often! Thanks again Laura and Sharon - your team was truly professional, accommodating, and creative!

Rob Whitzman: These guys are professional and on top of it. They let you enjoy the event while they take care of all the hard stuff. Fantastic job.

Nghia Diep: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueI’ve recommended Laura and Sharon to be the planners for some of my clients and they are amazing to work with.

Carlo P: Just attended a virtual kids event hosted by Imagine That Events for my company. The event was great! It was very well organized. There was a package delivered to our home the day before with a cookie decorating kit, cookies and gifts for the kids. During the event, there were activities to keep the kids engaged alongside the cookie decorating, as well as a visit from Santa!Laura was an amazing host!I would highly recommend! In some ways the kids were more engaged in this Christmas event than in-person events that we've had in the past.Thanks Imagine That Events!

Ying Zhang: The DJ , photography, and flower vendors that Sharon arranged for my wedding day were high quality as they all went above and belong my expectations. Sharon and her crew did an excellent job with the setup at my ceremony and reception. I strongly recommend Sharon and her crew if anyone needs event planning.

Andy Young: Very attentive senior staff, despite picketing by regular staff, who are trying their best to disrupt guest's experience.

Autism BC: Laura, Sharon and the team at Imagine That are wonderful to work with. They come full of ideas, experience and the ability to take your vision, or lack of vision and create something wonderful. We have worked with them for the last two years on the British Columbia Excellence in Autism Awards and would not hesitate to recommend them as a fantastic event management and decor company. Thank you ITE, we look forward to next year!

Sandrine Ramoisy: I always thought event planners were only hired for large events. I have seen Laura work her magic on small gatherings, and realized that a party planner for casual events makes so much sense!! Her energy and creativity will turn any family gathering or business meeting in a memorable experience. Our networking group crab dinner this week was unique, simple and out of this world fabulous.

Event Planner: Great people that can create beautiful events

Monika Kodnani: Gorgeous stuff and Excellent customer service and satisfaction

Wendy Shao: Liting and her team are super professional! Liting has been so helpful since the beginning and her design of the floral and decor definitely exceeds our expectations! Thank you sooooo much for making our dream wedding come true!

Michael Lee: Hi Liting,Thank you so much for all your hard work on Saturday ! We definitely had to take a day to recover and process everything that just happened. We couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out, from how amazingly beautiful the flowers and decor was arranged, to how smoothly you made the day run by with your incredible supervision and delegation. Kiki and I could not have asked for a better team to help guide us throughout this journey from picking the venue,to giving us your recommendations to the amazing connections such as Bobo from BeigeWeddings, Momo the makeup artist the incredible videographers from VShine, and especially putting up with our countless questions and demands; especially the super late-night wechat messages from Kiki.You were incredible with your flexibility in being able to incorporate all of Kiki’s dad’s paintings the day of without ever seeing prior and staging it around making it look like everything belonged there. Both our parents were very happy to meet you that day, and complemented how perfect everything came together. I know for a fact that none of this would have been possible without you and our astounding team at Paradise Events. Your understanding and ability to extract the images that were in our minds to make it a reality is second to none. You definitely created the dream wedding that Kiki had envisioned from our initial talks, to the sketch, and of course the final product was better than anything we could’ve imagined.We’ll definitely recommend you to any of our friends that get married in the future, we just want to thank you once again for all of your hard work. It was a pleasure to have been able to share this huge moment in our lives together with you.

Maria Lo: We want to thank Liting and her team at Paradise Events for all their help designing and coordinating our wedding! We have been their client since 2020 and had to postpone twice due to pandemic restrictions but Liting and her team were super understanding and patient. We couldn’t have asked for a better team.Everything went amazingly well on the wedding day, and we cannot express how appreciative we are for everything they did for us! The flower arch and bouquets were absolutely gorgeous! We received so many compliments about the décor, organization, and how this was the most fun the guests have had in a long time. Laura worked with us late the night before and starting early the morning of the wedding to keep us all on track the whole day. She also did a fantastic job leading our rehearsal with our large wedding party and little kids! Laura was like a child whisperer, pep talking the children before they walked down the aisle.It must be a super busy season and they have a hard job, yet they gave us the best care and attention! The team at Paradise events did a tremendous job, leaving us with memories we will always treasure.

Allison Yu: Paradise events is a must for making dream weddings come true! Liting is incredibly responsive, timely, and organized. She was incredibly accommodating to our budget and goes above and beyond in creating beautiful weddings. It was so nice to have a reliable vendor to have our florals, decor, set up, take down, and photobooth from - and she delivered on all accounts!

Andrew M: Even with all the changing Covid restrictions leading up to our wedding day, Liting was extremely flexible and accommodative. Her passion in her work is demonstrated through her beautiful creations. Liting is very hands on, detail orientated, and someone who is confident in her abilities. All our guests were in awe with how magical the decorations were.Meeting her in person, we were able to see how passionate and professional she was, and we have no regrets in choosing her to be a part of our wedding day and fulfill our vision.Yvonne and Andrew

Maria L: Positive:QualityI will recommend PE to everyone. The flowers and decorations are fabulous. All my guests took the flowers home.

Claire J: We backed up the scale of our wedding since pandemic never going better and so we had to change all the plans with vendors. In this situation, from beginning to end, Liting helped a lot with responsibility. We could reach her whenever we need with a quick response (she has never cared about time), quite impressive work compare to other companies in Metro Vancouver. Liting perfectly did her job, made our wedding beautiful, helped us to have wedding in our budget (which is most important point). Our guests were really happy thanks to Liting, she is just perfect. There’s no reason to not choose her for your big day! Highly recommend!

Andrei Kamchiline: We got in touch with Paradise Events prior to the start of the pandemic to plan the decorations and floral arrangements for our wedding. As the pandemic began and continued to escalate, Liting maintained communications with us and were very flexible in making sure that our event would be just as we originally imagined -- fitting the latest restrictions that would be in place. Our event ended up having few restrictions and Liting and her team were able to deliver on our original plan + give us options for enhancements and partnering vendors.The floral arrangements were spectacular, the setup was very high quality, would not hesitate using them again or recommending to our friends and family.

Shing-Chi Wang: We have great experience with Liting Chan of Paradise Events Planner. Liting is such an experienced event planner with a professional attitude that is way above what is required from her customers. She can immediately understand what my wife wants, and cater to her wish more than anyone could. Any money spent is well worth it.Her attitude will bring her success and give her customers ultimate satisfaction. And for us a wonderful memory of our wedding. Thank you so much, Liting. We will remember our wedding date forever due to your good work!!And she designs great flower arrangements....

Winni Huang: I still cannot believe Liting and her team helped me managed a wedding in such a short time frame and yet it was a perfect wedding for me! From decor to cake, artist to venue, Liting demostrate the term "professionalism" perfectly in my case. I'd love to do this again with her and her crew but I'm happily married to the love of my life! I wish Liting and Paradise Event all the best!

Allen X: We approached Paradise Events for the planning of a micro wedding (signing ceremony) while we are in town with family. Despite the extremely short timeframe, Liting's team organized and coordinated everything in an exceptionally efficient manner. Liting helped us determine the most ideal location, photographers, makeup artists, officiant, apparel, etc. She is always quick at responding to our requests or questions. On the magical day, our guests were truly blown away by the gorgeous ceremony site filled with beautiful flowers and candles. We feel like Liting is our big sister, taking good care of us and helping us relieve a lot of stress throughout the process.In conclusion, Liting is not just an ordinary event designer. She is remarkably passionate in weddings and flowers, and constantly go above & beyond to achieve the very best. We strongly recommend Liting's team for all your event needs.

Daisy Wang: Liting和她的团队给了我们一个梦幻美丽的小型婚礼，优雅而精致，完全超出我们的预期。去年11月的时候我们找到Liting，期待做一个30人左右的冬季室内婚礼，Liting迅速而高效的做出计划，不仅帮我们找到完美高性价比的场地、推荐了优秀的Vendor，还提出很多关于细节的建议。但是，COVID-19的升级导致政府只允许10人婚礼，Liting第一时间告诉我们政府的规定细节，尊重我们暂时等待的想法，同时帮助我们和vendor商量保留原定的日期。在我们最终确定保留原日期进行10人婚礼后，Liting又快速调整整个plan，确定所有的细节，给出专业意见。针对我们的新要求，也都帮助满足。我们非常感谢Liting和她的团队为我们的婚礼所作的一切努力，帮助我们在有限的预算下创造了一个非常美好的回忆，所有到场的人都喜爱我们的婚礼。Liting是一个热爱婚礼事业、有创意、用心做事的人，她真诚做事的态度和专业的能力不会让你失望，我们庆幸选择了她，这是完美的第一天。

Mar Sain: 👍

S&K Gan: Liting and her team are incredibly passionate with what they do. We were planning our wedding since last year however, due to COVID we had a lot of last minute planning and changes yet Liting and her team were able to go above and beyond to accommodate these changes and help us plan the perfect wedding. Her team is energetic and professional. Jessie, the assistant coordinator did a fantastic job in keeping us on schedule. Their DJ, Mr. DJ Junior was amazing! We highly recommend Paradise Events for your one-stop wedding planning.Thank you so much for making our big day so memorable and perfect.Love,S&K

Sam H.: 首先真的非常感谢Liting给与了我和妻子一个完美的婚礼! 因为时间原因我们的时间非常紧张，她尽力帮我们在最短的时间内实现了所有我们期待的东西。真的感谢她，让一切不可能成为可能，并且为我们节省了很多的资金，大大的赞！真心建议大家选择她让婚礼成为一生中最难忘的一天！I really want to say thank you to Litingg who gives us a perfect Wedding ceremony!

Thank you Liting to make impossible to possible even perfect, at the same time, saving so much money for us in detail. Last but not least, we truly recommend Liting or paradise event as your wedding planer to make the big day unforgettable in your life.

Julie Minarto: Words cannot describe what a beautiful job Paradise Events did in creating the perfect day for us. From our initial meeting via Zoom to all the many changes due to covid, Liting went above and beyond to ensure everything we envisioned for our wedding was bought to life, and then some!We wanted a rustic elegance feel for our wedding, and the photos don't do the decor and floals justice. Wowzers! were the words that came out of our mouths upon seeing the floral and decor halfway done through set up. Once we saw the whole space we were absolutely blown away and speechless. Liting's attention to detail was second to none. We kept finding additional surprise details as the evening went on, and they speak to the care and attention that Liting puts into her work. We would highly reccomend Liting and her team to create the wedding of your dreams. Thank you Liting, we are so incredibly grateful!!

Wenhui Jiang: We met Liting @Paradise Events about 5 weeks prior to our wedding date. We were clueless of what a wedding in Canada looks likes and we both had super busy work schedules on top. She was so professional and the communication part was effortless. During the prep she was responsible and met all our requirements and last minutes changes. On our big day, everything was beyond and above, the flowers was exactly what I wanted and everything was so gorgeous. Not only that all the vendors was very professional and on time. My family were so happy and they kept praising about how good it was organized. Liting was able to keep everything below our budget too. I couldn’t thank her enough and I would definitely strongly strongly recommend her.Liting真的是一个超级敬业超级负责超级细心的人。不管我们提出的任何需求她都知道如何实现，而且提出的意见中肯且实际。一路上她推荐的所有的化妆师，甜品师，摄像都非常靠谱，还帮助我们谈下来了很好的价格。我的家人都对这场婚礼赞不绝口，其实我们几乎都没有操过心，真心感谢liting还有他的团队。最靠谱没有之一，我非常respect 他们。我妈在我朋友圈里留言：‘’多想亲自参加女儿的婚礼[爱心][爱心]，看到婚礼如此温馨[玫瑰][玫瑰][玫瑰]，此刻我心中充满了感谢，感谢所有帮助女儿女婿组织这场婚礼的人，感谢所有参加婚礼的人和观看婚礼的人[爱心][爱心][爱心]🎉🎉🎉‘’

Andrew Liu: Paradise Events is one of the best vendors to work with! Liting is so genuine and thoughtful and really puts in effort to get to know you as a couple and what your vision is so that she can bring it to life. We started planning out our wedding pre-COVID, and then eventually made the call to do a micro-wedding on the original date and save the big reception for next year. During this time, Liting really helped guide us on making a decision that is what we really wanted, and gave us inspiration to do something intimate and sweet which really resonated with our personalities too.Eventually we came up with a unique and personalized design for the micro-wedding as you can see from the picture. Liting is so talented and there's no one we would trust more to take care of everything. The florals were way beyond expectations and everything was absolutely perfect before we even arrived on-site! The attention to detail was spectacular and the execution was flawless. Rest assured that you would receive the best service and product by going with Paradise Events.Thank you so much to the entire team at Paradise Events, and another big thank you to Liting for making the trip back to the venue to take pictures with us! We're super excited for next year!With Love,Andrew & Sophia

Lydia: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueGreat team! Thank you for providing me a beautiful ceremony! We appreciate it! It was not easy to get it done in a short time. But you guys did it for us with wonderful and professional service. The design is exactly what we want and all my guests love it. Thank you

Kristine Lam: Paradise Events was recommended to me by my photographer for my bridal bouquet but we decided to ultimately have Liting design the most gorgeous decor for our micro wedding ceremony. From our initial meeting to the big day, Liting was extremely professional and paid attention to every single detail no matter how small. We only had a few weeks to plan the wedding and Liting made the process as smooth as it could have possibly been. She was very accommodating with our budget and gave us multiple options to choose from.Needless to say we were blown away when we arrived at the venue that day. Liting went above and beyond all our expectations and transformed the space into the most beautiful french courtyard ever. All of our guests complimented on the decor and even wanted to book the same venue for their future wedding because of this!We are very grateful to have met Liting and chosen Paradise Events to plan our special day. Thank you so much for making my wedding dream come true!

Vaishali Mittal: Nice

Tyler Stadius: Professional and friendly company. They go the extra mile. Highly recommend them.

Lidia Lubascher: If you are looking for a reliable, responsible and organized place to work with or to work in your event I would highly recommend contacting them. You'll find an amazing and friendly staff.

Lihau Gonsales: Best crew to work with. It’s all about the people you surround yourself with and this crew is amazing. If you like to have fun and make money at the same time then look no further!As far as service, we are second to none. Real professionals doing in how it’s supposed to be done a 💯 if the time. Lovely, efficient and fun! The whole package. A triple threat!

Neil Prakash: Briar and our team helped to organize our wedding and did an amazing job. We were lucky to have her with us on our big day and everything went off without a hitch!

Shakeira MacLean: Briar and her team were spectacular throughout the wedding planning process. I did a full service plan and her creative solutions and approach helped to realize my vision while being reasonable with my budget restraints. Her team is delightful and I can't imagine the day being as smooth as it was without their diligence. Truly a great team and highly recommend working with them.

Francisca Pangestu Lacombe: With the last of our out of town guests on their way home, I can finally sit and write a proper "Thank You" to our AMAZING coordinator/planner Joey Greene.I first worked with Epic Events 4-years ago when my hubby and I tied the knot. Briar and Joey did such a fantastic job taking care of all the logistics, ensuring that the day was stress-free, fun, and everything I imagined my wedding day would be. After such a wonderful experience, I knew the next time I needed help with day-of-coordination, a call to Epic Events would be the first one I made.Four years later, when I decided I wanted to throw a surprise birthday party to celebrate my hubby's milestone birthday, I knew I'd need help executing on the day-of. I was SO lucky to be able to work with Joey again and I can't say enough wonderful things about how AMAZING Joey is. Joey is not only incredibly organized and fast with replies and feedback (which I appreciated as I have a mild case of OCD :)), he is also a creative genius who worked incredibly hard, going above and beyond, to make the party spectacular. Its been a week since the party and we're STILL getting calls and notes from guests about what an amazing time they had!Joey, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for making the party such a wonderful, beautiful success and something that we will remember and cherish for many years to come.

Janelle Cohos: Working with Briar for our wedding was a 11/10 experience! She went above and beyond for us - from the planning and preparation stages, all the way through to the day-of coordination of our special day. We went into this process with virtually no idea about how wedding planning looks, and Briar was the BEST coach we could have asked for! She kept us accountable to our monthly goals, helped us manage our stress levels, and was an amazingly calm presence for us the entire way through. We would hands-down recommend Briar and her team for any event, big or small, that you are dreaming about! They will absolutely nail it.

Greer Nelson: I can't say enough good things about Briar and what she did for us on our wedding day. Not only is she a delight to be around she is also amazing at her job! Her attention to detail and ability to handle anything was impressive. I was doing all the wedding decor and planning myself so by the time she came on board I was beyond relieved. I would highly recommend her over and over!

Lyndsey Chauhan: I hired Epic Events for a corporate event, and it was amazing how Briar's organization, initiative, anticipation of our needs and willingness to support as much or as little as we needed let to an extremely successful stakeholder event for us. I would recommend or hire the Epic Events team again in a second.

Kerstyn Edey: 1000% would recommend. She's pulled off some labour intensive weddings with such ease and organization allowing her clients to fully enjoy the moment.

Budget Blooms: We have worked with Epic Events for years and you would be very lucky to have their expertise on your side. Briar and her team are professional, fun and allow you to truly enjoy your day.

Joe Pound: I have worked with Briar and her team at Epic Events and always look forward to being a part of her weddings! She is incredibly organized and easy to work with. She is very professional, incredibly thorough, and always provides the finer details when communicating with her co-vendors. We always look forward to working with her and her team!

Shaylene Guichon: Would highly recommend! Briar and her team are professional, organized and efficient. Easily the best money we spent on our wedding day. Thank you again for everything!!!

Mathew Collings: I LOVE working with EPIC, they live up to the name! As a Wedding filmmaker a great planning team is so key to allow us to do the best job we can for our clients. When you have a team like Epic that is so on the ball and so easy to talk to it means we don't have to bother the Bride and Groom, it means we can simply ask the planners most of our key questions, this makes it so much easier for us and it allows for the couple to focus on each other and not worry about a thing leading up to or on the wedding day. Plus the team and Epic are so fun to be around and on those long wedding days that is a massive pick me up!

Aron Veen: Epic Events was a tremendous help at our destination wedding; I can't even tell you all the small details that were flawlessly handled. We were so impressed by Briar's professionalism, attention to detail and positive attitude. Highly recommend!

Lexi Dusessoy: If I could give them more stars I would! We just finished our wedding this weekend and it was PERFECT. There wasn't a single thing we would have changed. Thank you Briar

Charles Yu: We had less than two months to our wedding day. Briar and her team took over and efficiently orchestrated our dream wedding into a reality.
