Wonderful wedding planner

We are beyond grateful for Liz & Brilliant Events! One of the biggest gifts she brought to our wedding was her deep connection to the Whistler & the Whistler community. From recommending the best local vendors to knowing all the hidden gems in the area, her knowledge and relationships made the entire experience so much smoother and more special.

On the wedding weekend itself, Liz was not only incredibly organized, but also a calming presence for me personally. She was so supportive in helping manage my anxiety and made sure I felt grounded and cared for every step of the way. Our family and guests kept telling us how seamless everything felt, and that is entirely thanks to her professionalism and dedication.

Not only was she an incredible planner, but also such a kind, genuine, and supportive presence throughout the entire journey. We can’t imagine having done this without her! Highly recommend!

From Vision to Reality: A Seamless, Joy-Filled Wedding Thanks to Brilliant Events

Working with Brilliant Events was one of the best decisions we made during our destination wedding planning journey. From the very beginning, Liz brought an amazing blend of warmth, professionalism, and calm that made us feel instantly at ease. She was always quick to respond, incredibly organized, and never once missed a detail, which made the whole process of planning a wedding feel less overwhelming and so much fun.

What really stood out was how honest and authentic she was. If something didn’t make sense or felt off, she wasn’t afraid to speak up to offer guidance. Her honesty felt like a breath of fresh air. She also had an incredibly thoughtful and humorous way of navigating both of our ideas and/or preferences, helping us find the perfect middle ground every time without ever making it feel like a compromise.

Not to mention, our families adored her too. By the end of our wedding, it genuinely felt like she was part of the family. On the day itself, we were able to be fully present and soak every single moment in, knowing everything was in her hands. It all came together so beautifully: florals, catering, music, photography, cake, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception…. Literally everything. The end result truly surpassed our wildest dreams.

Thanks to Liz, our wedding day was filled with love, laughter, and so many unforgettable moments that our guests are still talking about weeks after. We couldn’t be more grateful for everything Liz and her incredible team did to make it all happen.

If you’re looking for a painless and fully memorable wedding experience, we highly recommend Brilliant Events to bring your vision to life flawlessly.

Brilliant Planner, Brilliant Wedding, Brilliant LIZ!

Liz is the best – our wedding day was perfect and she made everything happen leading up to it. My wife and I are busy people and we were planning the wedding from a different country and we couldn't be happier with how it all came together. I couldn't recommend Liz and her team at Brilliant Earth more highly.

Look no further!!

When I got engaged the first thing I thought was, surely I can do this all myself. As I began to plan- and let me tell you I am organised!- I realised. Why am I putting so much stress on myself on a day that I will only get once. I sprung online and I am so so so grateful I found Liz. She is organised, hilarious, kind and absolutely brilliant at what she does. The name does not fall short of what I received as a service. Liz took care of me and everyone in my bridal party and family. She had all the nerves taken away and I look back on that day and not one thing was out of place or wrong. She was pure perfection. Liz!! Thank YOU!!! My family and I adore you!!!

Trust Brilliant Events to make your dream day come true!

Liz and the Brilliant Events team went above and beyond to make our wedding weekend one for the books.

We had tasked her with quite the challenge - two wedding ceremonies in one weekend. First a Hindu wedding on the Friday, and a Jewish wedding on the Sunday. Hosting 200+ guests for multiple events is a huge undertaking and Liz and her team made it look easy. All while being an absolute pleasure to work with.

We felt heard every step of the way and were allowed to have as much involvement as we wanted throughout the process. The ask to integrate cultural elements of two demanding religious was challenging, and Liz took it in stride. They learned all the names and details of both traditions, delivering incredible events that both represented our Indian and Jewish communities, while also making each event our own.

One of the best things that came out of working with Brilliant Events is the network they have in the Sea to Sky corridor. From florals, to photographers, videographers, even local artisans for our welcome bags, Liz was on it. And the people she surrounds herself are the most talented and easiest to work with.

In addition to the thorough planning process, Liz and her team executed the weekend flawlessly. This was a logistically complex and operationally challenging weekend to pull off, and everything went off without a hitch because of Liz’s attention to detail, communication with her team and all our vendors, and exceptional execution ability.

We’re already thinking of another reason to have an event, for the sole purpose of working with Brilliant Events again.

A wonderful experience

Liz delivered us a gorgeous, stress-free, and super fun wedding. I had no idea how smart I was to hand her the reins - super collaborative and incredibly professional. I don't know if wedding planners get better than this.

Professional, Responsive, Personal & Fun!

Liz and her team went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was perfect. Not only by showing up on the day and ensuring everything ran perfectly on schedule (without, for one second, taking away from the emotion of the day or making it feel rushed) but by being incredibly responsive and supportive in the time leading up to the day. Liz anticipated and solved so many potential issues for us well before those issues had even crossed our minds.

Brilliant Events is also very clearly a well respected company in the wedding industry, as each of our vendors went out of their way to tell us how lucky we were to have Liz and her team helping us out (and we understand why!).

Weddings are a ton of fun, but they can be very stressful for those organizing leading up to the day - Liz and her team took so much of that stress away. This was easily the best investment we made for our wedding, and would strongly encourage anyone planning a wedding (or any other event for that matter) to engage Liz and her team.

15/10 Brilliant Events knocks it out of the park

It's not possible to capture the magic of Brilliant Events in words. You have to experience it to understand. I was a stupidly busy bride in the lead-up to our wedding, and all I can say is Every. Last. Detail was handled. I have not one thing these women could have done differently. They showed up as coordinators and left as friends. Liz Tiedman and Hayley Cianca had to navigate all kinds of gong shows, many of which I didn't even know about; all they'd say was "I got you". They so did. Every guest we spoke with said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. Thanks, ladies. Looking forward to debriefing over drinks one of these days!
