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

Jennifer was also able to solve any problems or concerns we had (for instance, transportation and floor plans) and she exhibited great professionalism throughout the entire planning process!

We could not have pulled off such a successful event without her! I highly recommend her services to anyone that needs event planning! She really helps relieve the stress from all brides and grooms! Thank you Jennifer!

The outcome was stunning. The price, about 10% of the weddings total cost, was worth every penny.

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

Before meeting Wendy, I thought wedding planners were an unnecessary expense. Oh boy, was I wrong!…read moreWendy was an invaluable part of the wedding planning process. She found amazing vendors within our budget, re-negotiated a bad contract I had signed before meeting her, and gave us guidance on how we could incorporate Chinese wedding traditions into what was a very Western wedding including having a personal translator for my husband's grandmother from Taiwan. Wendy planned an all-around perfect wedding all while my husband and I weren't even in Toronto until the week of the wedding! The greatest testament to Wendy's professionalism, expertise, and compassion is the fact that when my MIL became very ill in the month leading up to the wedding and all our plans were quickly falling apart nothing seemed to phase her. She had back up plan after back up plan and was constantly adapting to the new situation. Even when my MIL was too ill to leave her hospital bed Wendy found many ways to include her in the wedding giving us a few more sweet memories from that bittersweet day. Wendy's support did not end after the wedding. Unfortunately, my MIL had passed away that same night. Wendy attended her funeral the next week and even explained some of the Chinese funeral practices. It's been over a year and she still checks up on us every once and a while to see how we're doing. I am very grateful for her kindness and her calm demeanor through all the chaos.

My florist was prob my favourite vendor…read more I am just in awe w/ her arranagements and her sense of elegance and love shown on every piece. Her style is something I have always admired. She gave me a lot of reassurance when I needed it at some pt (good friend had a similiar centrepiece idea). Jenny told me no centrepiece would look the same even w/ the same flowers... and you know she was so right :) On our day, I was completely blown away....It was everything I had imagined and more :) A little bling here and there...with my fav colours. What more can a gal ask for? I loved my bridal bouquet and same w/ the bridesmaids. All the parents, relatives corsages & boutineres looked amazing. The centrepieces were the best ever (yes totally biased ^^). We had 37 tables... 6 on elevated vases (relatives & parents table) & the rest in the shorter vase. At the end of the night, everyone took the centrepieces home! Guess I will have to make my own replica :) Jenny also did the decor (backdrop, cake table, receiving table, head table) & the organza linens (31 in lilac, 6 in plum) for each table. She also added some subtle bling for me (backdrop) - smth i did not ask for but sooooo pretty ^^ I loved it! I would HIGHLY recommend her :) She's wonderful in every way & you will definitely be in good hands ! Appointments only

I came across my Jenny (Floret) on Yelp and read the review below from James and I disagree with…read morehim. I'm not surprised that his wife and him were disappointed because they literally gave her a little more than a weeks notice. I got married in June 2012 and Jenny was the best! She BLEW me away when she actually found the exact centerpiece flowers that I had wanted (the lime colour greenery) AND it was difficult to get in Toronto. It's been 3 years now and my relatives and friends STILL talk about how much they loved the flowers that night. During the many consultations, Jenny was so inspirational, creative, dedicated, focused and professional. I honestly went with her because not only did she showcase her original photographs of her work on her website but she was really patient and understanding when I was indecisive in my choices. Ladies and Gents, I hope my review will encourage you to go with her. As long as there is sufficient time, I'm sure there won't be any disappointments.

Naira (the owner and mastermind behind Weddings by Ardenian) designed the floral decor for my May…read morewedding. We had ordered centre pieces for all our tables, for the reception room tables, and for the ceremony site, as well as the flowers for the bridal party. I could not be happier with the outcome. The flowers were outstanding in quality, the arrangements were incredibly rich - she used a lot of flowers and did not spare any expenses to achieve the look I had asked for. Although I had only ordered centrepieces for the main ballroom, Naira went ahead and decorated the window panes and mantles of the entire ballroom with dozens of small vases and white flowers, matching my theme. I had not expected this; I had already paid for everything so she really did it because she simply thought it would make the room more beautiful. She seems to truly enjoy what she does and puts passion in it. She is very reasonably priced, especially for the high quality of the work she does. I would recommed Weddings by Ardeninan to anyone in heart beat! Thank you Naira!

Date: 2019.02.18 Review: The One Bridal…read moreService Purchased: Wedding and Engagement Photography Score: 3.2 / 5.0 This is going to be a lengthy piece to reflect my mixed feelings about One Bridal's photography service. The One Bridal did a lot of good/great work but the long waiting at the end reduced my overall satisfaction. Let me start with the pre-photo shoot. We shopped around and talked to a few vendors before selecting One Bridal for our photography. I was impressed by their marketing and a number of wedding photo albums they had on their slideshows. One Bridal also offered competitive market rates for photography. Communications were excellent in the beginning and they were transparent about the timing of when they collected payments and when they will provide the photos (usb), album and canvas. For this part One Bridal scores 4.5 / 5.0 The photographer who took the photos was Joseph. He worked alone for our engagement photos in 2018 Spring and he had an assistant who helped take additional photos at our wedding in 2018 Summer. Our engagement photos were taken at Main Street Unionville. I was responsible for buying a permit for the location but there were no issues with getting the date & time we liked, meeting with the photographer, or weather. Joseph was both photographer and director as we walked around the location took photos The engagement photo shoot was scheduled to be one hour in length and took longer (around 1.5 hour) to complete, so I was happy when Joseph was able to give us some extra time to take all the photos. We had to do some walking and some of the photos we had to take a few times over but overall the day went well. For this part Joseph scores 4.0 / 5.0 Our wedding photos were taken at a banquet hall in Markham. The day and photo shooting started earlier for us as our party had some additional activities in the morning. Joseph & team had no issues with meeting us at a private residence near the banquet hall then relocating to the banquet hall afterwards. Since it was wedding day, there were a lot of activities and a lot of photos. The photography team took photos of us, our bridal party, our family, our guests, and our venue. Over a thousand photos were taken that day (given the large volume some photos were excellent, so good and some bad - that was to be expected). When reviewing the photos afterwards one observation I had is there were a few photos with large groups where a few people were somewhat blocked by others. The whole day went by a blur but I probably should have stayed for more photos with our guests after the ceremony. The photography team worked a full day, ate lunch and dinner with us and mostly did a good job. For this part Joseph and team scores 4.0 / 5.0 For me, the biggest challenges started after all our photo shoots were completed and 100% of the balance was paid. We were hoping to get all the photos (usb) and album about 3 months after our wedding. However, it took us around 5 months to get our usb and around 6 months to get the album (we got our canvas early so that was not an issue). During the waiting time communication with the vendor was inconsistent (longer turnaround times for phone call / emails). My main takeaway from the waiting experience is perhaps I should not pay the full balance until the final piece of product is received. For this part One Bridal scores 1.0 / 5.0 Overall, there were some communications challenges (it is fair to say it applied for both sides and I contributed to those challenges as I got more frustrated with waiting) and some lengthy waiting but we got what we agreed upon (our canvas photo, our wedding album and our usb key with all photos) and I am mostly satisfied with the product. 3.2 / 5.0 David Wu
