About

As a good listener, meticulous organizer, and patient service provider, Carisa puts her clients at ease as she helps to plan your big day.

Experience

A native and current resident of Coquitlam, Carisa got her start in hospitality serving banquets at Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club. A few years later she became the club's principal wedding planner and immersed herself in this livelihood, learning many skills and making industry connections. She then acquired certification as a Wedding Consultant and Coordinator by Wedding Planners Institute of Canada (WPIC) in 2011 and started the business she leads today.

Services offered

Above All Occasions offers three different packages to its clients for wedding planning service. For those who need help with planning for the entire process, the Complete Planning package offers assistance with time management, vendors, budget concerns, and coordination for rehearsal and the wedding day. For couples who have already taken care of the planning and organization and only need assistance on the big day, the Day of Coordination package is on offer. And finally, for those who want professional advice and guidance for handling the process themselves, the customizable Just For You package is available.

Carisa is the perfect person to help you with your wedding day! Whether it just for her day-of services or a planning package, she is the perfect combination of girlfriend and professional you need.
If there was a hiccup in the day, Carisa made sure I did not know about it. She was so helpful in recommending other vendors that I needed and listened to all the details that I had in mind for our wedding. Carisa was also great for the things I didn't know I needed to arrange and in letting me know the best ways to prep things for the big day.
Thanks so much Carisa!!

We hired Carisa to be our Day of Coordinator and she was amazing from start to finish! She put together a checklist of all items we had for set up along with an outline for the day based on our meeting we had with her. This gave us a great start to creating our own timeline as we were so lost in starting this! This also really helped us begin our timeline for our MC to also refer to. Hiring Carisa was the best thing for us to do as we didn't need to worry about the set up and were able to relax the day of our wedding! She is very detail oriented and listened to everything we had to say about our decor and set up. She is very personable and professional along with ensuring everything runs as smoothly as possible!

We hired Carisa for the "day-of services" and she was amazing to work with as she is friendly, organized and punctual. She followed up with us several times prior to the wedding to make sure we were on track, quickly responded to our emails and phone calls and she really understood our vision. Our wedding day was amazing we were able to relax as Carisa took care of all the details and the set up she did was perfect. We would recommend her services to anyone!

Our sincerest thanks,
Cynthia & Pawel Koper
