Surprise and delight your guests with a
memorable event.
Wedding and Event Planner in the Greater Toronto Area, offering Full and Partial Wedding Planning services and Month of (Day of) Coordination.
​
I work alongside my clients to help them design, plan and coordinate their wedding, corporate and social events in a timely schedule with less stress!
Wedding planning is one of the most significant group projects you'll be in charge of!
It's a meeting of the minds and a brainstorm of the people, places and things that will come together to create your dream wedding! As with all group projects though, some days will be highly productive and others will be hampered with difficult discussions or overwhelm.
​
Whether you're planning a big wedding or intimate special day, weddings come with their own set of timelines, tasks, questions and scenarios.
​
Hiring a wedding planner ensures that all of the moving parts and details are covered. By working together, you’ll have more time to focus on the major tasks and time with family and friends while keeping up with the long to-do list. A planner's support will also guide you through challenging situations and decisions.​

At Vanessa Legair Events & Design we work collaboratively with our clients to create the unique and customized event you’ve envisioned.

How far in advance do I need to book a planner?The short answer: As soon as possible! The long answer: The first few months of planning and the last few months of planning are commonly the most time-consuming and, sometimes, stressful periods for couples. A planner will help you to discuss and organize your wedding ideas and needs, and provide you with the tools and resources to complete your wedding plans in a timely schedule. You'll also have the benefit of a trusted, experienced professional who can support you through challenging situations and ensure the minute details are covered. Book 6-12 months in advance of the wedding date for Full or Partial Planning services. Book 2- 4 months in advance for a Month of (Day of) Coordination package.
-
Do you offer payment plans?Yes, we do! The service contract will outline your payment plan which starts with a non-refundable portion at booking, followed by equal payments in the months/weeks leading up to the wedding. Payment Methods: E-transfer, cash
-
Will you help us select our venue and other vendors?Yes! Research and recommendations of vendors are included with our planning and coordination service packages. This may include visiting venues with you, discussing costs and your budget, and/or helping to set up meetings on your own. We'll ensure you have all of the key details to make the best decision for your wedding.
-
Will you come to our rehearsal?Yes! The rehearsal is an important time for your planner to meet your officiant, wedding party, family and friends who will have a role on the wedding day. In addition to practicing the ceremony program, we'll go over any special instructions and the Who-What-When-Where and How questions that may arise.
-
Will you stay until the end of the night at our wedding?Yes! Wedding day coverage is scheduled for 8-12 hours, inclusive of last call. After all of the excitement and energy of the day, it is our joy to have a final moment with the newlyweds! Our team will assist in packing up personal items you have provided for the wedding day. The removal of rentals, large/heavy decor items and all personal items will be coordinated with each vendor/supplier and/or family members and friends as noted by the couple.
