Our wedding was an amazing success thanks to Holly. She was the glue that kept everything together without an issue, always available to help and improvise in case something went wrong. She is super professional, meticulous, and an amazing person to be around. Trust me, once she is in your team, you got nothing to worry about she'll have your back 1000%. Thank you so much Holly!!

Hiring Holly was the best money we spent on our entire wedding—truly worth every penny. We booked Holly’s wedding assistance package because we’re natural procrastinators and had only about six months left to seriously plan after being engaged for three years. We had a few vendors booked and some loose ideas, but absolutely needed help pulling everything together. Holly stepped in quickly and completely transformed what felt overwhelming and impossible into something organized, manageable, and even fun. She handled everything: vendor communication, contract reviews, reminders for payment deadlines, sourcing décor (and even doing DIY projects!), helping us design our theme, keeping us on budget, building a day-of timeline, and full setup and teardown. She also helped us figure out our real priorities when we were indecisive or unsure—which was often. On the wedding day, she was an absolute hero. Our DJ’s Spotify completely failed, but Holly had already downloaded all of our playlists onto her backup phone “just in case.” We didn't even know she had done this! The DJ ended up running the entire night’s music from her phone. That level of preparedness sums up Holly perfectly. She was always within eyesight, ready to answer a question or fix a problem before we even noticed it. She kept everyone on schedule, handled all the teardown, and made sure we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Our guests and family noticed, too—my brother and his fiancée were so impressed that they knew right away they wanted to hire her for their own wedding. (And his fiancée is an excellent planner, so that says everything.) Holly is passionate, organized, observant, creative, and unbelievably dedicated. She went far beyond anything we expected from a planner. If you’re on the fence about hiring a coordinator, don’t hesitate. If you can hire Holly, do it. She made our wedding possible, and we are endlessly grateful. More...

We can not recommend Holly enough as an event and wedding planner. She came super highly reviewed to us and it’s easy to see why. Holly was our day of coordinator for our relatively large and complicated wedding in July and she was the best money we spent on the day. Leading up to the wedding she answered all our questions, was prompt on email and zoom and had great advice. She was always positive and had such a great problem solving energy. She didn’t make any of our crazy ideas seem too much. On the day off she was truly the glue that held that day together. She kept the day on time and was the touch point for all of our vendors. She cued all the different events and speeches, helped pack up stuff and probably solved a million more issues we didn’t even know happened. She even sewed my bustle when it ripped after my brother stepped on it. We had approx 170 guest. A full room flip, between ceremony and dinner, second looks, lots of decor, multiple djs and a party that went to 2am. I can not recommend her enough! Book Holly! More...

We hired Holly as our day-of coordinator, and she was absolutely wonderful to work with! Even though I had done all the wedding planning and organization myself, Holly was always available to answer questions leading up to the big day and offered great support during the week of the wedding to make sure everything would run smoothly. On the wedding day, she took care of the setup and decoration details so that I could fully enjoy the moment without worrying about logistics. Her positive energy and bubbly presence truly made a difference. She was a ray of sunshine! If you’re looking for someone who will step in at the right time to make your day stress-free and filled with laughter, I highly recommend Holly. More...

Holly was the first and best decision that we made regarding our wedding day. It truly would not have been as beautiful and organized without her. She made sure things were decorated, made sure we ate, and was an absolute master of cleaning up and ensuring everyone got home safely. As someone who did not always know what to do next or what would be the best option, I truly appreciated having someone with so much experience and knowledge at our side. Our guests were raving about how lovely she is and how they wished they had her for their wedding day! Thank you so much again, Holly! More...

After seeing Holly in action at our friend's wedding, we decided to hire her for day of wedding co-ordination and my god Holly is the best. Holly put out so many wedding day fires. I'd ask her about something, and she would tell me it was done hours ago. This woman is seriously on it. From delivering cash to our vendors on the day of, driving and delivering the boutonnieres to the guys getting ready location, coordinating the first look, keeping everyone on schedule, and so much more, Holly has got you. She provided us with much needed advice leading up to the wedding and was always available for questions. She kept copies of all our contracts. She kept our venue accountable. 2 hours before the first look, I noticed the sleeves were missing on my dress - the dress shop had lost them. Holly called the shop and, thanks to her advocacy, they sent an employee with the sleeves from their sample dress and delivered it to the hotel. She literally saved the day because the sleeves were the main reason I loved the dress. Hire this woman. It's worth the money. Her price is more than fair for the industry and she's probably one of the best ones out there. Holly - thank you so much. You are the best. You made our wedding wonderful. More...

Holly was an absolute lifesaver as our day-of wedding coordinator! She was calm, patient, and incredibly organized—always one step ahead and prepared for anything. When a bridesmaid’s dress ripped, she had a pin ready. When the mother of the bride’s dress lost a hook and eye, Holly had the tools to fix it on the spot. Her positive energy, attention to detail, and constant communication kept everything running smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator and would 100% recommend her to anyone getting married! Thanks Holly!!! :) More...

Holly was the wedding coordinator for my son’s wedding this weekend. She was perfect. She put in so much time, attended two walk-throughs in advance of the big day, brought with her a kit full of remedies and solutions for any situation. She was cheerful, unobtrusive, almost invisible, but knowing she was there put us all at ease; feeling fully confident that we could handle any unforeseen issues that might arise. Always a complete pleasure to work with, Holly put in such a long day on the wedding day, and most of all seemed to truly love her job the whole time. I’ll be recommending her to every bride I meet. Thanks Holly! More...

She was there all day and somehow was everywhere we needed her to be.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would...Holly is that great! We had the pleasure of having Holly provide "day-of" coordination for our wedding.

Among so many of the things she took care of, Holly coordinated our vendors, helped us finalize our timeline, came in clutch with design elements, and most importantly let us focus on being in the moment! We had a couple of major emergencies come up, and Holly handled it all with so much grace and composure. Our guests had a wonderful time and a big part of that we owe to Holly's expert help.

Holly is an absolute rockstar! Our wedding had a lot of moving pieces, and she executed the whole day flawlessly.

On the day of, she was there to fix the little things that went wrong (like sewing a loose button back onto my husband’s jacket), and was prepared with snacks and other essential items we might need. At the end of the night, she completed the whole tear down and brought all of our things up to the hotel room (and packed them!).

Okay! So First of all Holly is awesome! She is a rockstar! She made our wedding day perfect!💛 She went over and beyond with us! We booked her as a day-of-wedding coordinator. And I thought it just meant that she will handle how things go on the wedding day. Let me tell you, She was present from the get go. I never thought that I would be so present on my wedding day, I am the controlling type where I have to be in control of it all and I was able to trust her fully, She has a calming effect and has a fun energetic presence! I didn’t have to worry about a thing. She is amazing and has a beautiful rapport with the vendors and was basically leading and guiding, making sure everything is going to plan! She was able to switch and adapt to any hiccups or changes that happened before and during the wedding. Here are some of the examples of what she did for us: She was asking us a few months of advance for the contract and any vendors information we have. We had a video call a few weeks before the wedding to discuss everything again, I even told her about possible family dynamic issues that I would need help with and she had a plan to deal with it and be there for us. We didn’t have a bridal party so she met with us the day before the wedding to just to give us quick tips and suggestions for the ceremony (which is not required from her). And when we had an issue with the DJ possibly not being there, I already accepted that we would have to just play music from Spotify. My husband contacted her the day before the wedding and she got us a DJ within the hour! She and my husband dealt with it without involving me because I was so stressed! (again something extra from her) She was at the venue before everyone, doubled checked with everyone and even handled the centrepieces! My friend made the centrepieces and was going to set it up but Holly suggested that she picks them and sets them up and she even took the decorations back with her! When she heard me saying that I will rent a uhaul to pick the decorations after the wedding she refused and said that she will drop them off for us!! (once again she wasn't required to do any of this at all!) When my bustle broke, she came with a thread a needle and fixed it right there at the spot! She wasn’t even near me, suddenly she is behind me stitching it up so it doesn’t break again! She spoke with the MC ahead of time and was there guiding him and cueing him on what to do. The party was dying down sooner than I thought and she handled the bus issue with a simple call to the driver! TLDR: Holly is awesome, if you want to enjoy your wedding day and be present and not worry about anything book Holly! She has great rapport with vendors and can handle any hiccups before, during and after the wedding! Believe me you will not regret having her on your team! 💛 More...

Holly was the glue that held our wedding together. She helped us manage the whole setup and takedown of our event, an unexpectedly quick flip between ceremony and reception and was so encouraging and understanding throughout the whole process. She had solutions for every hiccup that came up; she had umbrellas for when it rained, supplies to hang our sign and made sure everyone got a late night snack. When we were struggling to communicate with our venue, Holly was so flexible. If i could give her 6 stars, I would. More...

Holly was the day-of coordinator for our wedding and the real MVP. If I could give her a sixth star I would. For brides or couples who might feel overwhelmed with the planning process, she was confident and directive, but not too directive - only offering suggestions during the planning where they were welcomed. She offered recommended vendors (we went with the DJ she recommended and they were wonderful), she was super on the ball with the plan, contacting all of our vendors the week before, and a hype woman during our rehearsal dinner. The day of the wedding there were a few small and one big hiccup and we had no idea until the next couple of days when we were ready to deal with it. Any time there was a situation we needed to be involved with, like a delay in the ceremony, she was calm and cool and offered a solution. Otherwise she maneuvered the agenda, vendors and speakers seamlessly. We also gave her a decor plan with freedom to change anything she’d like and she made tweaks here and there that the space so much more lovely. She even joined in the singing during the ceremony where we needed more voices - I’m not sure there’s a problem Holly can’t solve. Would absolutely recommend Holly to any couple getting married!

We recently worked with Holly for our wedding in August 2024 and we couldn't be more grateful! Holly's energy and dedication is unmatched, and her ability to bring our vision to life is what helped make our wedding day so special. From recommending fantastic vendors, to dealing with our hectic schedules, working on a backup plan after some potential weather issues, sourcing specific decor items, and spending hours on ensuring every aspect of the ceremony was perfect, working with her was one of the best decisions we've made. The best way to describe this: if we came to Holly with a question, 9 times out of 10, she was either already working on it, or had a plan to get it resolved. We've already recommended her to friends and family who will be getting married shortly, and we would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a coordinator/planner. Holly, thank you again for all your hard work and help in making our special day so perfect! It truly means the world to us. More...

We can not emphasize enough how happy we were with Holly's services and how critical a role she played in the success of our wedding, which we hosted at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in May 2024. We met her at a wedding show and immediately got a great sense of her personability, organization and hard-working nature. She supported us at every step of the way and ensured nothing fell between the cracks. We threw several challenging requests her way and she was unwavering in her commitment to bringing our (often grand) vision to life. In addition to doing everything one would look for in a wedding planner, she truly went above and beyond on many occasions, wearing several hats both at the planning stages and on the day itself. Through all the busy and chaotic elements of planning a large event, Holly was a continuous source of reassurance and helped minimize our stress levels. Her communication approach is thorough, clear and extremely responsive. She is also incredibly friendly and positive — a true joy to work with. We would absolutely recommend Holly for anyone's event.

We could not have asked for more from Holly. We engaged her services about half way through our planning and discovered a whole host of things we had not considered. Holly was exceptionally good at solving any problems that arose both before and during the celebration and made an excellent impression on everybody. She coordinated everything perfectly and with her help the wedding went off without a hitch. Her connections and her enthusiasm elevated the event considerably. i can certainly say that Holly removed almost all stress from the entire process and played a key role in making the day a great experience for all who attended. Whatever you do, hire Holly! More...

Q&As

I love helping people and I love the opportunity to be creative. Supporting clients as they plan milestone events, organizing charity galas that have an impact on our community, helping a company celebrate a success or thank their team - this works brings both my clients and myself great joy, and I am so grateful to say that it puts me in the category of "if love your job, it doesn't feel like work".

I love the opportunity to be creative in any way: finding creative solutions to budget limitations, producing unique, hand-made embellishments that tie into a theme, whatever we can dream-up I love the opportunity to make it happen. Working for larger companies sometimes hinders creative possibilities, so I branched out on my own!

I have been planning and coordinating events for over a decade and find great joy in helping others create or bring their vision to life.

I love the analogy of the Duck:
Picture the graceful and elegant duck, floating effortlessly on the water: this represents the forward-facing event experience for yourself and your guests. Now imagine the ducks feet hidden under the water, quietly paddling like mad to keep moving in the right direction: that’s me, calm and focused on every detail to ensure your event is a complete success!

My experience comes from large scale charity galas, weddings, and corporate events, which require great attention to detail and a strong ability to “go-with-the-flow” on event day. When events are planned well, unforeseen circumstances are few and manageable in a seamless and undetectable manner. With experience comes knowledge of do’s & don’ts, tips & tricks, and a flurry of creative ideas to help design or embellish an exceptional event.

I'm happy to offer advice, tips & tricks, and some guidance remotely, but the majority of my services are in-person and hands-on coordination!

Throughout the pandemic, clients meetings and planning session moved to a remote platform, and we came up with new ways to celebrate milestones virtually. Now that we are back to a new normal, there are still precautions in place to keep germs at bay, but allow for a more intimate and connected celebration that we have been missing for the past two years.

Services

Whatever your budget, your event can be fabulous. Holly will work with you from the very beginning to find the aesthetic that fits your event and assist with every detail along the way. Or she can assist specifically with day-of’ coordination, and offer help and advice where needed. Together you will take the steps to make your event a seamless success!
Services offered: Day-of Coordination, Corporate Events, Wedding Assistance, Full Wedding Planning & Coordination, and Customizable options available on request.

Timeline-tracking, list-making, and knolling (the process of arranging objects so they are parallel or at 90-degree angles) are key tricks to this trade. In addition to event planning, I’m happy to offer organizational skills for whatever home or office projects where you might need a hand. Costs for these services are offered on a case-by-case basis, and contracts can be drawn up specifically to fit your needs.
