Similar to Jeremy, Leena was the only vendor that we regretted hiring. Leena is a fantastic sales woman and sold me on the initial meeting. After that, we received limited service and very poor quality plans by my standards. The vendor recommendations were not suitable for us and didn't meet our needs - I ended up finding all the vendors on my own. She provides no financial management support and was not involved in a single vendor negotiation or saved us any money. The day of plan was done poorly with typos, names wrong, etc. I had to redo the full day-of-plan and I sent it to her in which she refused to accept. I sent my schedule to the other vendors, briefed them, and followed up well in advance. Let's Party Consultants only followed up through a late night voice mail to some of my vendors and not to others. On the day of the wedding, my caterer, my friends and my husband couldn't find her for an hour after she was to arrive and she jetted out of there before the wedding was over (and by me counting straight hours - before our contract was up). I literally saw her for 5 minutes during my wedding. She also demanded a guest meal versus a vendor meal. She confused the DJ by giving him the wrong plan (her version which was inaccurate). I was so fearful of her performance that I actually got my friend to be the day-of-coordinators. The entire process left me frustrated and angry - my family urged me to fire her on many occasions - but she demanded payment upfront and I decided to try to make it work since I already paid. Other vendors who saw her name as my wedding planner gave me a warning based on their past experiences with her. By the way, she would tell you that full payment upfront is the standard. It is NOT TRUE - most of the wedding planners do not require this. It has been years since my wedding and I still wish that I hired someone else. As an aside, she did bring an assistant whom I liked a lot - Leena was smart enough to know that me and her were just not working and had the assistant be the interface. Perhaps, our experience would have been very different if we dealt with her instead of Leena. Why am I writing this now? My review was triggered by a friend who was so upset over her wedding planner - and guess what - it turned out to be Leena too. I feel like I need to do my part before more people feel their wedding experience is being "ruined" by their planner. read more

These guys are the worst potential planners. They promise one concept and deliver something completely opposite. I worked with their designer - Tanya. She was extremely kind and amicable until I deposited my full payment into their bank. The minute I made payment (which was requested prior to the event); she started becoming very rude and pushy and was not accommodating to my availability during my wedding week. I specifically walked her to the venue and clearly explained what was critical for me. On top of that, I also sent a very detailed email with everything that needed to get done. She agreed to match all deliverables discussed but what was provided to me was worth half the money charged and nothing close to what was promised. Let's party consultants is run by a bunch of rude, money minded idiots who don't care to make anyone's wedding a special event. Their work is of poor quality and they are definitely not the people to rely on to make your wedding easy. Finally, they have very poor communication on what timing is needed from their team to execute the plan. They didn't clearly inform me when a full payment had to be made until the very end and threatened to not show up for the decor until the night prior to my event despite having accepted full payment because I was unable to send a signed copy of their contract and had written to them on 2 separate occasions advising that I fully accept terms and conditions however don't have access to a printer to send them a signed copy. I would never recommend them to anyone ! read more

Leena and her team are legit the worst. Out of all the wedding vendors we used, she's the one we regret using. She uses templates and canned responses for pretty much everything as a way to scale her services but when you actually review the work she does, very little thought, effort or customization goes on. She's a good sales person though, very convincing. But as soon as you pay her upfront she is pretty much checked out. She even admitted to my husband who called her out on her poor services by the end of the whole process that she definitely did not deliver on expectations. I would not advise ANYONE using LPC services. read more

Out of all the wedding vendors we hired, Leena's was the only one we regretted doing business with. She's great at selling herself in the initial meeting, but after that...communicating is like pulling teeth. Info is out of date and not customized. Her claim that she would "save us more than she would cost" turned out to be laughably untrue. Search for other reviews online, you will find the negative ones - in hindsight, we wished we had trusted them, as they completely represented our experience! read more

I recently went to the Canadian Bridal Show held at the Convention Center in Toronto. Let's Party Consultants was there and took our information since we're getting married in June 2016 and just got engaged. Well it's now March 2nd (2 months later) and I received a 'follow-up' email from Leena regarding her 'conversation' with me at the Wedding Show which we never had. The email was addressed to another person, not to me or my name and was clearly a blanketed templated email she sent out to everyone. If someone can't even bother to come up with a tailored email to the recipient with the name of the correct recipient, how can you ever trust them to plan your wedding? NO ATTENTION TO DETAIL WHATSOEVER, RUN, RUN FAR AWAY NOW!!! read more

I'm so glad I found this company. I met them at the wedding shows in January- they were at two that I attended. I've received so much guidance and support so far already. I'm sailing through my planning so far and have gotten lots done, in such a short time. It's so easy and stress free, and even though I tend to email a lot of questions that randomly come to mind throughout the day, each one gets replied to very quickly. I have 2 colleagues who have used this company and one of my neighbours did as well. In particular, Leena and Suzanne are amazing. I had to write this review because I'm so impressed. Most of my other friends getting married are so stressed out. This is the best investment I ever made. read more

BEWARE: Services / prices NOT as advertised Where to begin... We got married on the Toronto Islands this summer and hired Leena (Let's Party Consultants) as our wedding planner. As everyone else has already mentioned, Leena is very responsive when trying to get hired but tends to disappear once the contract has been signed and deposit made. As the bride, I was pretty relaxed as far as brides go and certainly did not expect Leena to be at my beck and call. However, over the course of 6-7 months of planning, I think I spoke to Leena on the phone maybe 5 or 6 times (even closer to the wedding date) and nearly always at my prompting. It's difficult to discuss everything via email and can get very time consuming and Leena's reluctance to have regularly scheduled phone calls resulted in delays with certain things, most notably our invitations. Luckily we had a small wedding so the invites hiccup did not affect things too much but that is besides the point. As planning progressed, so did our costs. At no point did Leena want to discuss a budget and how we can save money, despite my asking several times. In fact, Leena seemed to go out of her way to raise costs. We highly suspect she takes cutbacks from all of the things she pushes on her clients. For example, she absolutely insisted we needed a tent, straight up LIED about the fact that there was no indoor space at the venue in the event of rain (being temporarily in another province, we had booked the venue sight unseen) and then quoted us the ridiculous price of over $5000. Understandably freaked out by the hefty price tag, I went over Leena's head and called the venue personally only to be told that no tent was necessary as there was an indoor room to be used in case of inclement weather and that we were the only couple even looking into it. This was a common experience. Leena frequently quoted us prices that seemed ridiculously exorbitant and the only way to determine the veracity of the quote was to reach out to vendors personally - a process which rendered the hiring of Leena null and void. Why am I doing all the legwork when we hired you specifically for that purpose? Moving on to décor... We decided to go with Leena's in-house décor team as it seemed to be the easiest way to keep everything within one team for the sake of cohesion and clarity (and our sanity). Bad idea. Based on our vision (I sent pictures of exactly what I wanted with details about how many, colours, etc.), Leena initially quoted us around $1500 (approximate). The final bill was close to $5000. That's almost 3 times the original quote. We were charged the ridiculous sum of $300+ for seashells and sand! Despite my telling her in advance that we wanted the chuppah for our ceremony (which was already present at the venue for no charge), Leena told me literally 2 days before the wedding that she would not be assembling it. She literally said (and I'm quoting) that it was a "foreign piece of equipment" for her team and they would not know how to assemble it. Despite being wedding planners for a decade, her team was stumped when faced with the riddle that is a wedding chuppah. Unbelievable. She also only let me know that she would not be assembling it upon my reaching out to her to confirm this and got somewhat nasty in her responses. Imagine the unpleasant surprise that would've awaited me on my wedding day had I not reached out to confirm this in the first place. The few days leading up to our wedding, Leena COMPLETELY disappeared. By which I mean she refused to respond to texts or emails, even ones that were time-sensitive and urgent such as booking water taxis to get the wedding party to the island. I had ZERO contact with her on the day of my wedding. Luckily by then I had accepted Leena's poor work ethic and lack of interest in her clients (beyond a paycheque) as one of life's lemons so I managed to stay calm but it was frustrating to say the least. Having said all of that, our wedding was set up beautifully (but considering the ridiculous costs, still not super-fancy or anything). The décor was lovely and Leena's team kept things going fairly smoothly on the day of. Verdict: Do NOT hire Leena or Let's Party Consultants unless you're willing to spend an extra $10,000 (which is the amount that we estimate she over-charged us). I would maybe recommend hiring her to be the day-of consultant as she did keep the event flowing smoothly. read more

Stay clear of LETS PARTY CONSULTANTS. I booked their wedding planning services last year and was extremely disappointed. LET'S PARTY CONSULTANTS are not capable of delivering the level of service that they sell. LET'S PARTY CONSULTANTS were difficult to schedule consultations with, very poor at follow up, continually added stress to the process as well as unprofessional and disorganized on the event day. read more

There's a reason why so many negative posts are written on this page about Let's Party Consultants, specifically about the owner herself, Leena. People tend to not read them, or look beyond the feedback that is shared. In order for Leena to stop her madness, we must take her out of business, STOP giving her business. She was hired to execute a wedding for me and was rude, aggressive, demeaning and disrespectful when I shared my thoughts with her. I was disappointed when my vision didn't come to life, and she kept repeating how she won awards, had credentials on her website (which anyone can post a logo on) and boast about her lifestyle. Guests at my wedding overhead her speaking VERY poorly of someone that I hired on my big day. Extremely immature for a businesswoman. I wouldn't use her or recommend her to anyone. No ethics. Sad, lonely, unattractive lady in my opinion. read more

My wife and I hired Leena from Let's Party Consultants as our day-of-coordinator for our wedding this past summer. Working with her was simply fantastic! I am a wedding photographer and have been in the wedding industry for a decade. I was amazed by how much I didn't know about what it takes to make a wedding run smoothly behind the scenes. Not only did she take the time to get to know us and provide much more support prior to the wedding than we thought we had paid for, but at every meeting, we had one or two "aha" moments of major things we simply had not thought about. She was always quick with unique solutions to our wacky ideas and made sure all the details ended up exactly where they should. On the day of the wedding, everything ran extremely smoothly and on schedule. We really didn't even know she was there except when we needed her and she appeared like clockwork. I would definitely recommend her. read more

Be Careful and read the contract well... someone who thinks that their services are great need not ask for the entire money upfront or in two months... read the reviews on Wedding Wire and other sites... I had a stone drop in my stomach when I read the contract. When I offered some money to start and the rest in two months given we found a suitable reception location she said she wouldn't work that way. The contract also talks about overtime fees(someone with 13 years experience should be able to properly quote you)... Further the contract allows her to drop you without a refund and allows you to drop her without a refund... I would thread carefully with that contract especially that the rating on wedding wire isn't that good either. read more

I couldn't believe the negative reviews I've read and wanted to share the experience we've had with Leena and her staff as they were truly amazing to work with. When we first started the wedding planning process we didn't really put a lot of thought into hiring a wedding coordinator. In all honesty the thought of a "Wedding Coordinator" seemed like an unnecessary luxury and we figured our money was better used in other areas. We were talking with a lot of married friends and noticed a trend... The ones who had used a coordinator kept telling us how thankful they were that they had. And the ones who had not used one deeply regretted it and urged us to get one. We contacted few people getting a bit discouraged because they were either ridiculously overpriced or not in the least bit flexible. Out of all the people we called Leena was the ONLY one that offered to come to us and meet us. I thought, "finally". Someone who cares! From our first meeting we were impressed by her. Throughout the whole process she was nothing but professional, organized, and truthfully a bit of a ball buster. Which is EXACTLY what we were looking for in a wedding planner. She was always available by phone or email so it's surprising to read otherwise. When it was the actual wedding day it ran perfect and we receiving nothing but positive feedback from our guests! think the best part for my wife and I was that my family and friends were able to actually enjoy the celebration. No one worried for anything and it was the number one compliment we received when people talk about our wedding. I can't tell you how thankful we all were! Leena is truly gifted, capable and affordable!! read more
