When we got engaged the first vendor we hired was a wedding planner. Carmen and her team took care of all the details for two ceremonies (one destination and one here in Toronto). She made sure every detail was taken care of. The events were executed with military precision. The decor looked amazing. We were able to relax and enjoy our day knowing that Carmen everything taken care of.

Thank you to Carmen and her team for helping us plan such a beautiful wedding! We appreciate her kindness, hard work, and dedication. She connected us with wonderful vendors to make our day beautiful and was available to us every step of the wedding planning process. We appreciate her so much! Love, Shelby Sal and Terry

We hired Carmen over a year ago when we wanted to do a destination wedding. Over the past year, Carmen has been amazing at listening to our questions and concerns, helping us find vendors and places that were within our vision, as well as, within our budget. She was also very experienced and reminded us of details and information that we wouldn't have thought of if we didn't have her with us.

We ended up choosing Hawaii as our destination wedding which isn't her usual stomping grounds. However, Carmen was very effective at connecting with local vendors and providing us a lot of attractive options, for the wedding venue, welcome party and general ideas on how the wedding trip would flow (e.g. preparing welcome bags, procure random items for the wedding, coordinating the videography sessions, etc.). Carmen was also very patient with us and calmly guided us through the process when the planning started getting overwhelming.

Despite not being able to see or visit the venue and set up beforehand, Carmen stayed on top of everything. The whole event, including the welcome party, the wedding ceremony and reception, were beautiful and things just happened seamlessly, thanks to Carmen. At the end of the night, she even helped us save some mementos from the night which we totally forgot as we were inebriated and had a moment of regret the next morning.

We've been to many weddings, but objectively speaking, this one was the best one! My husband and I could not have been happier. Thank you so much Carmen, truly appreciate all that you have done for us!

Carmen was an absolute joy to work with!

About a month after getting engaged, my (now) wife and I began researching and interviewing wedding planners. Four to five planners in, they all started to sound the same, but what stood out to us about Carmen was that we felt *heard*. We knew immediately that she would help make our vision a reality, and when we hit walls, provided us with inspiration without dictating what to do.

Throughout the entire process, she was communicative and extremely flexible with our schedule and requests. She routinely responded in a timely manner - even at odd hours of the night - which gave us confidence that she was hard at work for us and her other clients!

She coordinated with all our vendors seamlessly (photographer, videographer, MC, officiant, florist, hair/makeup, live music, wedding cake, venue). Even a last minute request (literally 2 days before our wedding) was accounted for and communicated to the relevant parties without a hitch.

On the big day, we never thought we would ever say this but the day of the wedding was a breeze! Carmen and her assistants, Queenie and Vanessa were attentive, thoughtful and provided reassurance with multiple check-ins the entire 10+ hours that we were with them. They handled literally everything: from ensuring that all events were going as scheduled to ensuring we stayed hydrated during the blazing hot July afternoon. Vanessa also made sure that my wife ate throughout her getting ready which was much appreciated! All of the criteria we established for our wedding were met (or exceeded!) and all we really had to worry about was greeting our guests and looking good for photos.

If you are looking for an efficient, professional, and all-around amazing wedding planner, just hire Carmen. It will be the best (and easiest) decision you’ll make for your wedding.

Devoted to You are true experts, Carmen is so well versed in the industry. Her passion and knowledge really shines through. From start to finish she really set us up for success when it came to planning our special day.

As soon as I was engaged, the first vendor I wanted to book was a wedding planner. At the time I was working full time from home and taking care of a toddler. I had absolutely no time in between to plan a wedding!

I googled the best wedding planners in Toronto, and Devoted To You came up. Little did I know, I was actually following Carmen on Instagram because I casually stumbled upon her page, before I got engaged, what a coincidence! I knew following her on Instagram was a good idea.

I contacted Carmen, filled out her client forms, and she was extremely responsive to schedule a meeting in person and talk about her services and potentially book with her. Thankfully this was a time after businesses with slowly opening from covid - 19 restrictions.

Of course I booked with her, and had no doubt she’d be an asset during the wedding planning process. She immediately started working on finding wedding venues for my now husband and I to see, booking times to tour, and she was there at every venue tour, which I greatly appreciated.
We found our dream venue, and I was extremely happy to know that she had planned at our venue before.

After venue shopping, she kept me on track with booking vendors, and provided extensive options for hair, makeup, videographers, and photographers, DJ’s, florists, etc . Carmen was able to provide vendors at different costs which suited our budget. She did not force us to book with the “most expensive” vendors, and provided us great insight on areas we can save. She coordinated all the meetings with the potential vendors, ensured we were comfortable with the vendor we booked, and even encouraged us to think on it for a while before we made our decision.

The wedding planning process was extremely enjoyable from start to finish, by having Carmen by my side. The month before, as expected, was extremely busy for us, but she took control with confirming ALL the vendors, and coordinating final meetings and reminder payments for us.

On the day of the wedding, I felt absolute bliss. I placed all my trust in Carmen, and that gave me the peace I had during the day. I met her assistant, Queenie, who was an absolute sweetheart, and Sarah who was also extremely sweet, whom I met at the venue. There was not a time during the wedding day, that I had doubted Carmen’s abilities to make the day run smoothly. I was able to be in the moment of my wedding day, take it all in, and enjoy the day seamlessly.

Carmen’s ability to implement immediate changes to make the day seem as if there were no changes, was extremely impressive. That validated the reason why I hired her and why I would hire her again.

Carmen is an incredible wedding planner. Thanks to her hard work, our wedding was a dream!

Carmen’s network of top-notch vendors made the process smooth and cost-effective. We had an amazing team of vendors that made our dreams a reality. I had a request for a specific type of videographer last minute. She was able to tab into her network and find the exact person we were looking for.

I also wanted to do unique designs that combine both Eastern and Western elements. Carmen helped me find the right vendors and kept us on-track throughout the planning process. On the big day, everything went off without a hitch thanks to her flawless execution.

On the day of our wedding, Carmen handled any issues discreetly and efficiently. My husband and I were able to fully enjoy ourselves. Her passion for her work truly shines through, and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner.

Our wedding day was the most smooth, organized and perfect day. This is all thanks to Carmen and her wedding planning expertise that guided us the entire way. When we first met with Carmen exploring the idea of a wedding planner I felt immediately she was someone with good energy and experience that I wanted by us throughout our wedding planning journey.

On the wedding day both the bride and grooms side went smoothly while getting ready, and the ceremony/reception at the venue was executed perfectly according to plan. During our bride and groom photos it started to rain… and guess who came out running with a picture-worthy classic clear umbrella…Carmen! The Devoted to You team was amazing and I highly recommend working with Carmen for your wedding planning needs!! Thank you Carmen for making our special day happen beautifully.

There are not enough words to show how thankful I am to Carmen and her team. We booked Carmen for a month in coordinator and it was the best decision I could have ever made! Prior to booking Carmen I felt as though I already had everything in place. All my vendors were already booked, and we were just working through the fine details of the schedule. Though when she came in, she turned my world upside down and it was 100% for the better. There were so many wedding detail nuisances that I did not consider and this is where her team absolutely shined. Carmen coordinated with all my vendors so that everything was good to go for the wedding day. She was the point of contact for a special surprise for the groom and the guests that went off without a hitch and I couldn't have been more pleased. She held meetings with my videographer and photographer as well as my wedding party to ensure everyone was on the same page. And created a very detailed and thoughtfully scheduled itinerary to ensure the day ran smoothly. Just to name a few of the many things she did for us. Though the one thing that truly validated my decision in book ling Carmen was how I felt on my wedding day! I was able to truly enjoy the day with my husband. Knowing that I had a team that knew the schedule and knew what needed to be done, took a big load off my shoulders. This allowed the both of us to be present and really enjoy our day and you cannot put a price on that! Thank you, Carmen, and your devotedtoyou team. We are forever grateful! 10/10 highly recommend.

Carmen planned our recent wedding at Casa loma and working with her was a dream. She was patient, kind, hardworking and on top of everything. She was able to think of details that we would've missed if we planned the wedding ourselves. It is obvious that Carmen has tons of expertise as a wedding planner. She is also very pleasant to work with and a very generous gift giver! Leading up to the big day, Carmen met with us weekly and made sure all vendors were communicated with and kept in the loop. All last minute surprises and emergencies were handled smoothly by Carmen. Our wedding day went more smoothly than we ever could've imagined and our grand vision was perfectly executed. Thank you again Carmen for everything, we couldn't have done it without you!!!
