Chantal is the best!

Chantal is an absolute expert in her field and we feel so lucky to have found her when we did. In our first meeting she easily helped us clear up any logistical questions we had and she continued to problem-solve throughout the planning process. Chantal is like your wedding best friend and her presence makes you feel at ease. Her knowledge, hard work, and passion for the job are so valuable. We know the day would not have run as smoothly without her and we are so grateful for all the care she took to get to know us and help us on this most special day. We cannot thank her enough and also cannot stress enough how amazing she is.

Chantal is such a wonderful event planner!

If you're looking for a professional, organized, reliable, knowledgeable and kind wedding planner or day-of coordinator, look no further. Chantal is your girl! She was absolutely amazing to work with. We hired Chantal as our day-of coordinator for our wedding so her services officially started about 1 month before our wedding. Even before her services officially started though, she was always happy to help and quick to respond to any questions I had. 1 month before the wedding, our weekly meetings on Zoom started and it was like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. She was so knowledgable and organized. She kept us on track and made sure we had everything done on time. She thinks of everything so you don't have to! She was so kind and easy to work with. My husband and I looked forward to our Zoom calls every week! She even sent us an MC template and met with my cousins who were our MCs to help guide them. She was a huge help at our rehearsal making sure everything was organized and ready to go. On the wedding day, she had every detail taken care of. Every detail we had planned was executed PERFECTLY! She worked so well with all the other vendors. She guided everyone and made sure everyone was where they needed to be all day long. She was just perfect and I am so grateful to her for making sure everything went perfectly on our big day. I didn't worry about a single thing on my wedding day because I knew she was taking care of everything. Do yourself a favour and hire her!!

Supportive Peace of Mind

I had my wedding in late October, 2022 - but I was engaged in 2020. So I booked most of my vendors in 2021 because I thought I was going to get married in 2021. Chantal was amazing even though she talked to me for much longer than her normal plans allow for. Not being from Kingston, I knew i needed local insight, support and help. Chantal offered all three and even though she was not feeling great the day of the wedding - she was amazing and was just what we needed.
Someone to be where I couldn't be and making sure the plans we confirmed fell into place. I organize events for work and volunteer and i needed Chantal on my wedding day. So if you're on the fence. Think about what you want to focus on for your wedding is it your friends, family and new spouse? Then save a bit more money and make this investment. You will not be sorry.

Incredible experience

Chantal was absolutely incredible and so integral to how well our wedding day ran! Working with Chantal was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. She kept us so organized, asking us questions we didn’t even know we needed the answer to! Having her running things on our wedding day kept us so relaxed and enjoying the day - we feel so fortunate that we were able to simply enjoy the day and be present to soak in every moment with our loved ones. We had no stress the day of our wedding knowing everything was in excellent hands. We couldn’t have been happier with the day, and are so thankful for the work Chantal put into it!

A stress free wedding

We booked with CC weddings and events in 2019 and then we had to postpone twice. Chantel was on top of everything and helped when I didn't know where to start back replanning for a third time. Friday at the rehearsal and the morning of everyone asked why I looked so stressed free. Chantal was the reason she made me feel confident that everything was handled and I had nothing to stress about.

Chantal is fantastic!

Chantal was amazing at keeping us on track over the past year and ensured that we had a perfect wedding. She brought up things that we wouldn't have thought of and leveraged her contacts in the industry to help us with our planning. On the day-of she took care of absolutely everything, making the set-up and take-down a breeze and things couldn't have gone any smoother for us. Thanks to Chantal, our wedding was exactly the day that we had in our minds. Thank you so much!! We would highly recommend hiring Chantal for any wedding or event planning in the future.

Turned our vision into a reality!

We highly recommend CC Weddings and Events to anyone seeking a wedding or event planner. Chantal is kind, personable, and highly professional. Our families, wedding party, and vendors had nothing but great things to say about her character, attention to detail, and work ethic.

From our first meeting with Chantal, we knew we were in great hands. She is extremely organized and made sure we didn’t forget any of the details that likely would have been overlooked, especially as we got closer to the date.

Our rehearsal and wedding day were an absolute dream and Chantal was a huge part of that. From our perspective, the entire weekend went perfectly and was completely stress-free. Chantal set up our ceremony and tables so beautifully, communicated with all of our vendors, arranged our decor and flowers, and even sewed missing buttons onto one of the groomsman’s pants. We truly thank Chantal for coordinating one of the best days of our lives and we hope to run into her again sometime in the future!

Above and Beyond

Wow! To say we were impressed would be an understatement. If you've been debating on hiring a wedding planner or coordinator, then debate no further! Chantal is phenomenal and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.
Not only did she understand and execute our vision perfectly, but also ensured our day was seamless, super enjoyable and stress-free. She always knew exactly what to do and when to do it. Having her help during the lead up to our event was so essential to the success of our day, she made sure that even the smallest of details were addressed.
Her level of professionalism and organization is top notch and her warm, magnetic personality made working with her truly a pleasure. We couldn't have been happier with her!

Highly recommend!

We were so lucky to have Chantal coordinating the most magical day of our lives. She was beyond prepared at all stages of the process and thought of things that we didn't consider, before we realized or even KNEW that we needed them. She was 10 steps ahead of us at all times, troubleshooting and organizing everything and everyone. Our day was entirely worry-free thanks to Chantal's incredible work and attention to detail. We highly recommend Chantal for any event. Our day wouldn't have been the same without her.

Amazing Experience

Chantal was a dream day-of coordinator. We thought we were close to being ready when we started our weekly meetings but Chantal had so much insight into the inner workings, we soon realized how much more work was in store. If it weren't for Chantal we would have been seriously underprepared. She was kind and attentive and a delight to work with. She's fantastic, go with Chantal.

Meet the team

Chantal Valkenborg
Chantal Valkenborg
Owner

I have been working in events for over ten years. These have ranged from academic events and conferences, to weddings and festivals. I have a BAH and MA in art history from Queen’s University and completed a diploma in event management certified by the Chartered Institute of Marketing in 2016 while living in the UK.

During my time in the UK I had the amazing opportunity to work on Pride in London. I worked specifically as a liaison between Prides throughout the UK and towards creating an accessible Pride for all. In 2016 at our first attempt we achieved Silver Certification with Attitude is Everything.

I subsequently moved back to Canada in the summer of 2017 and shortly thereafter my partner and I welcomed a baby boy into our family. Having a year to reflect on my career helped me realize that it was the perfect time to start my own business.

In the summer of 2018 I helped plan the annual Kingston Multicultural Arts Festival – hosting 22 cultural associations, coordinating 12 performances on the main stage and 6 free art workshops for up to 8,000 visitors. I currently work on events with Advancement at Queen’s University.

What makes me stand out as a wedding planner? My organizational skills and knowledge. My love for my job. Most importantly, my commitment to you, your vision, and your goals.

I would love to hear from you about your vision and how I can help make your dream a reality. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
