Best decision during our planning journey

Working with Chantal was truly one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning journey and we're so grateful she was with us every step of the way.

Chantal is the perfect mix of professional, creative, and genuinely caring. She was always on top of everything, super organized, and brought such a calm, reassuring presence that we never even felt stressed.

Our wedding turned out more beautiful and meaningful than we ever imagined, and that’s in large part thanks to Chantal. We can’t thank her enough for her dedication, thoughtfulness, and the heart she poured into making our day so special :)

The best experience

My wife and I hired Chantal as our wedding coordinator and we are so, so happy we did. It’s hard to put into words how instrumental Chantal was in keeping us organized and on track throughout all of the planning, helping execute the perfect wedding for us the day of, bringing our vision to life, and going the extra mile. Chantal is incredibly talented and the most wonderful person to work with. She feels like a friend to us, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking to have the same experience we did for their special day. Thank you, Chantal, for helping make our day unforgettable.

She is amazing!

I literally don’t even know where to begin
Chantal was an absolute dream to work with. A calming presence during the planning stage, a guide during the rehearsal date and an absolute machine the day of!!
I cannot even begin to explain how stress free I felt day of because I knew she had everything under control. I planned my wedding from start to finish with her and the moment I had to let go of the reigns I felt completely at ease.
Chantal knew how anxious I was about everything and even on the day of, when I know she was running around wild, she still kept me in the loop through text and communicated every step of the way.
My in laws were very stressed about having the wedding at their home, but I know Chantal made it much easier for them.
Throughout the day I kept hearing them say how wonderful she was and so very professional and kind.

She was all of those things and so much more.

My husband had said it to me best.
Of all the things we spent money on for the wedding, he could not understand the value of Chantal. He had trepidation about why we would hire someone and spend the money had when I had planned so much of it myself. I kept telling him there was value in what she did and he would see it eventually. He just needed to give her time.

It took one video call with Chantal for him to turned to me and say “I get it”.
She went above and beyond his expectations and even to the point where he commented about how of all the services we paid for, hers was by far the best choice we made.

Through our crazy day not only did Chantal keep a smile on her face, but she rolled with all the punches and delivered a truly amazing day.

Could not give her enough praise or recommend her more highly.

Thank you Chantal!

Highly recommend Chantal!

We hired Chantal for day of coordination services and we are so glad we did! We got married on family property and one of our biggest things was that we didn’t want any of our family members to feel like they were “working” our wedding and worrying about if things were going how they should. Chantal took this stress away and worked with us leading up to our wedding to understand our vision for the day and executed it perfectly! From our weekly meetings, to communicating with our vendors, to setting everything up, to making sure the day went smoothly, Chantal was there and did it all! Highly recommend Chantal!

Can't speak highly enough of Chantal!

We had the pleasure of working with Chantal for over a year while planning our 200-person wedding, and it was truly an amazing experience. Initially, we started with her partial planning package, but as we navigated the many moving parts, we quickly realized we needed her full expertise. Chantal went above and beyond in every aspect, making the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. She allowed us to have complete creative independence, embracing our vision and bringing it to life flawlessly. During our regular meetings, Chantal kept us on track and pointed out many details we would have overlooked without her expertise. Chantal seamlessly managed all vendor and guest correspondence, alleviating a significant amount of stress for us. Our family members and wedding party also noted how efficient and lovely it was to work with Chantal. Her fun, easy-going yet highly organized personality made collaboration a joy. We would highly recommend working with Chantal—she was the perfect partner for our special day and we are going to miss working with her!

Our amazing experience with Chantal!

We decided to hire Chantal after seeing her in action at a friend's wedding and immediately knew we needed her to coordinate ours. She was hustling all day and night, making sure every detail was perfect, and we were confident she’d do the same for us.

We booked her wedding day coordination package, and the process began about eight weeks before our wedding. Even though I’m a type-A person with a lot already organized, I was carrying so much of the mental load that it became overwhelming. From our first meeting with Chantal, that mental load lifted almost instantly. She quickly took the reins, alleviating a huge burden from us. She reorganized our timeline, making it far more efficient, and handled communication with all of our vendors to ensure every detail was squared away well before the big day.

She also stepped in to direct and coordinate our rehearsal dinner, which was invaluable since we had a friend officiating. Chantal was an absolute pro and a genuinely kind, caring person who truly wanted to make our wedding dreams come true. On our wedding day, everything went perfectly, and that’s thanks to her hard work behind the scenes. We were completely stress-free, knowing she had everything under control. We trusted her fully to make the important decisions so we could focus on enjoying every moment of our day.

I cannot recommend Chantal enough to all future brides. Hiring her was the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning process!

So worth it!!!

Chantal was incredible to work with, I cannot recommend her services enough. Hiring her as a wedding day coordinator was probably the best decision we made, throughout our entire wedding we kept saying how much easier the day was because of Chantal. The meetings before the wedding kept us on track, and she thought of sooo many preparations we would have not thought of ourselves. On the day before she made sure we felt comfortable with how the ceremony would go, and listened really closely to everything we wanted. On the day of, she connected with literally every vendor, set up both venue spaces, made sure that flowers/cake/food/everything was in place, probably solved lots of problems that we don't even know about, answered questions from our friends and family, and checked in with us to see if we needed anything. She made it so that we could have the most fun ever. Looking back I would have hired her for even more planning!! Her work is amazing, thank you Chantal!

Chantal is great!

We hired Chantal as our day of coordinator and it's a decision I'm so glad we made! We had a clear idea of how we wanted our wedding to look and Chantal really helped us to deliver on it. Our weekly check-ins helped to manage the stress of planning and kept us on track. She let us guide her on our wants and offered insights into things we hadn't considered or simply overlooked. We felt in control of our planning, but she was ready to support us where needed and made a fantastic recommendation for our bar service - in short, she understood the assignment! I was able to be present and just enjoy our wedding day because Chantal and her team had everything covered. Honestly, Chantal is great and you can tell she is passionate about her work!

There is no one better than Chantal!

Hiring Chantal as our day-of coordinator was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. Right from the start we wanted to work with. Her attention to detail, her patience, and her knack for understanding exactly what we wanted were incredible. Every meeting with her was not only productive but also surprisingly fun—she has this infectious enthusiasm that made planning enjoyable.

Chantal's dedication to making our day special was evident in every interaction we had with her. She truly went above and beyond, from crafting a flawless timeline that ensured everything ran smoothly to handling last-minute details effortlessly. On our wedding day, I felt completely at ease knowing she was there to manage everything behind the scenes. Chantal, you're not just amazing at what you do—you're a true gem. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had you as our coordinator!

Chantal is amazing!

Chantal was a huge help in our wedding planning. We originally thought we would plan everything ourselves but as we started looking at all of the details decided we would at least entertain the idea of a planner. Originally just looking for a day of planner we ended up using Chantal for her partial planning services and she proved her worth! She helped suggest which vendors to look at within our budgets and which to stay away from. She helped us to navigate the various contracts we dealt with and understand some of the more confusing quotes. Our monthly chats were always pleasant and helpful and the last weeks where she began to take over really helped to take the load off. During our day she kept us and everyone else on track and it really let us focus on ourselves and each other. We’d occasionally catch a glimpse of her taking care of something during the dancing like moving flowers or blowing out candles that we wouldn’t have had the attention for but appreciated the foresight.
We didn’t think we’d need a planner but have recommended to our friends that if they can afford it, Chantal was well worth the peace of mind.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
