Hire Alusha - just do it.
We truly cannot imagine our wedding without Alusha. Missy and I are in our forties, and are big planners who don’t easily let go of control. Imagine our surprise when Alusha gave us complete confidence from the start, enabling us to let go of the reins a bit and just enjoy. She was incredibly organized, calm, and on top of every detail, which meant we were never once stressed on our wedding day—we always knew everything was being handled.
She’s a joy to work with: chill, confident, fun, and deeply experienced, with strong connections in the Toronto wedding scene. Our wedding was at Steam Whistle Brewery, where she’s a preferred coordinator, and her familiarity with the venue made everything run seamlessly.
As a lesbian couple planning a same-sex wedding, we felt completely comfortable and supported by Alusha from start to finish. We can’t recommend her highly enough—any package you choose with her is absolutely worth it. -

Thank you!!
Alusha was an incredible month-of and day-of coordinator. Without her, our wedding would not have gone as smoothly as it did. From the start, you could tell that she knew what she was doing. She contacted all of our vendors and put together schedules, leaving us stress-free leading up to and on the day of our wedding. She even managed to quickly grab my bouquet when I forgot it right before I was about to walk down the aisle. Thank you so so much again!! -

A Steady, Supportive Guide Through the Chaos of Wedding Planning
Let me start by saying that wedding planning brought out a level of stress and anxiety I wasn’t fully prepared for. As someone who tends to overthink and put pressure on myself to get everything just right, I often felt overwhelmed and unsure of how it would all come together. But having Alusha by our side was truly a lifeline. Her presence, her reassurance, and her steady guidance didn’t erase the stress entirely, but they kept me grounded through it. I honestly don’t know how I would have made it through without her.
We were pivoting from our original vision — at a different venue, with different plans — and it felt like we were starting from scratch. That’s when Alusha stepped in with the kind of steady, reassuring presence I didn’t even realize I needed. She wasn’t just our planner — she was a constant, grounding force who helped carry the emotional weight right alongside me.
She has this calm confidence about her that’s hard to describe — the kind that quiets your internal chaos just by being in the room. While I was fixated on every little decision and potential problem, she’d gently walk me through what actually needed my attention, what could wait, and what would sort itself out. Her experience showed in the way she approached everything with ease, and her support was unwavering — even when I just needed someone to listen to me spiral a little.
She encouraged us to make decisions that reflected our priorities and values, and reminded us that the day was about us — no one else. That advice stuck with me every step of the way.
And when it came to the logistics? She absolutely delivered. Every vendor she recommended — from our DJ, to our officiant, to the décor team — was incredible. We’re still hearing compliments about them, and they were all part of Alusha’s trusted network.
On the day itself, we were able to fully be in the moment, knowing she had everything under control. There were even thoughtful, beautiful touches that I didn’t find out about until after the fact — all Alusha. She made our day feel seamless, magical, and so genuinely us.
If you’re looking for someone who will not only help you plan a beautiful wedding, but also make the process feel more manageable, more meaningful, and more grounded — Alusha is that person. We are endlessly grateful for her and truly can’t imagine our wedding journey without her.-

Incredible wedding planner
This review is long overdue, but so so deserved. We don’t even know where to begin with Alusha. She was just the absolute best and we couldn’t have imagined planning our wedding without her. She was the perfect mix of fun, down to earth energy and pure professionalism. We met with several wedding planners, but from the moment we met with Alusha we felt an instant connection. She listened to our vision, kept us organized, but most importantly made the whole process FUN. On the day of, we knew we could let go completely and let her handle all the details. She is a natural leader who seamlessly took charge.
In the weeks leading up to the wedding she took over managing all our vendors and coordinated all the timelines. What really sets Alusha apart is that she genuinely wants to make your day meaningful and treat it as an important celebration without the overwhelming “this is the most important day of your life” pressure. She consistently reminded us to focus on what mattered the most: enjoying the day and creating beautiful memories rather than stressing over perfection (not an easy task for me). She really understands that a wedding is a beautiful and important day, but not the pinnacle of your life. Her attitude was so refreshing and allowed us to fully enjoy the experience without losing site of the bigger picture. -

Wedding coordination
We hired Alusha as our month-of wedding coordinator and Julia as our day-of coordinator, and we cannot recommend them enough! From the very beginning, they were informative, responsive, and incredibly organized. They took the time to understand our vision and ensured every detail was executed. On the day of our wedding, they managed everything seamlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy our day without any stress. Their professionalism, calm demeanour, and attention to detail were exactly what we hoped for. Thanks to them, our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. Alusha and Julia will go above and beyond to make your day perfect! -

Flawless planning execution for our big day!
The professionalism and grace with which Alusha from A Lush Affair showcased was amazing. Our expectations for our big day were surpassed in every conceivable way. Alusha’s commitment to making our wedding a memorable one was always top of mind. From our first meeting, she allowed us to share what we had envisioned for the wedding, she listened attentively to our ideas, she provided great feedback and made suggestions that ended up marking our day that much more special.
Additionally, Alusha was always quick to respond to all our inquiries regardless of the time or day, I was so impressed!!! She also coordinated with our vendors to manage timelines and logistics with the lead up to the wedding which allowed my partner and I to enjoy the process that much more without worrying about any last-minutes issues. Our set up at the venue on the day of was super beautiful and we were able to truly enjoy every aspect of our wedding knowing that Alusha had everything taken care of.
In short, Alusha’s commitment to her clients and to making their vision come to life for what will be one of the most important day of your life was nothing short of extraordinary. Thank you to A Lush Affair for making our day so special! -

Highly professional team!
I had the pleasure of working with Alusha over the past nine months leading up to my wedding reception. Our package was for partial planning, and she was instrumental in recommending vendors, following up with vendors, and other aspects of the planning process, including some things we had to troubleshoot space-wise. Although I found some vendors and the venue separately prior to hiring A Lush Affair, I still needed help in that area. Every single vendor that Alusha recommended was high quality. Importantly, Alusha has a very calming presence and a professional demeanor. She was lovely to work with. Although I'm thrilled that I had a beautiful wedding reception, it was bittersweet because our project was over. If I have any big events in the future, I would love to work with her again. Any time I interacted with her when I was stressed out, she made me feel that everything will be all right (and it was!) She is always ready to offer ideas and to problem-solve.
My day-of coordinator, Erin D., was also amazing. Any time I needed help on the day of the event, she was there for me and was so pleasant and on top of things. She took initiative with a couple of things in the set-up of the event, and they were great calls (she made sure to communicate the changes before the start of the event to get my OK). Erin was my rock on the day of the wedding reception!
I highly recommend A Lush Affair for your event planning needs - weddings or any other events! -

The reason this was the best day of our lives!
My husband and I cannot thank Alusha enough! We worked with Alusha as our day-of/month-of coordinator and it was the BEST money spent for sure! She put everything together perfectly, made sure all of our vendors were organized and informed of the plan, and was such a rockstar on the day of! She brought the perfect level of excitement and calmness to the event - she assured us that everything was going perfectly and just let us focus on being present with each other and our loved ones. 10/10, would absolutely recommend! Thank you Alusha, you are the best! -

A Lush Affair is Amazing!
We partnered with Alusha from A Lush Affair for the month leading up to our wedding and the day of. She did an amazing job with the itinerary and making sure everything was perfect for our big day. All of her hard work allowed us to really soak in our wedding day and not stress about the details, because she thought of everything! I can't say enough about how great our experience was. -

Just go ahead and hire her already
We hired Alusha as our Month-of-Coordinator for our wedding this summer. In hindsight, I wish we hired her to plan the whole thing! She really made the final month leading up to the wedding so easy for us. Friends kept asking us if we were stressed and we were genuinely just so relaxed knowing Alusha had everything handled. We're so thankful for her knowledge of the wedding and event industry. It definitely made a difference. I promise you, if you're thinking about getting a coordinator or planner, you should just go ahead and hire Alusha. Her services are absolutely worth the (very reasonable) investment.
She's also just an authentic and great human, so she's pretty nice to be around. :) xo -
