    Trusted partner in planning your big day.

    If you are looking for someone who is responsive, responsible, and who will work hard to make sure no details are overlooked, you will not regret bringing Carmen on to be your wedding or event planner. We hired Carmen to be our wedding planner immediately after our civil ceremony back in October 2020. Fast forward two years, two delays, and one baby later, Carmen delivered a spectacular wedding celebration with our family and friends in the summer of 2022. Throughout the two years leading up to the celebration, Carmen kept in touch with us and kept my husband and I on track with all the elements that required attention and progression.

    I am especially grateful that Carmen was able to introduce amazing vendors across a variety of price points during the process, it is so important as budget begin to accumulate that you have a trusted advisor to guide you through vendor selection and helping manage expectations for the quality of service at various price points.

    Overall - Carmen is someone that I trust wholeheartedly during the wedding planning process and I had zero ounce of doubt that Carmen and her team would come through to deliver the wedding of my dreams. I would recommend Carmen to all the brides out there looking for a partner in wedding planning!

    Best decision we made!!

    I really can’t say enough positive things about Carmen and her team! We hired Carmen for her month-of coordination services and it was the best decision! I woke up on my wedding day feeling so calm and present because I had so much confidence in Carmen to ensure the day ran smoothly - which it did! From constant communication in the weeks leading up to the wedding, pulling together our day of schedule, coordinating all of our vendors to even helping source last minute decor items, we were so so impressed and had so much fun with Carmen and team on our actual wedding day. My number one advice to anyone getting married is to hire Carmen - you won’t regret it! :)

    Carmen, will help with your wedding planning process

    When we first started wedding planning. The first thing we thought of was hiring a wedding planner. We googled top 3 wedding planners in the GTA and DevotedToYou was the only wedding planning company who personally responded in a genuine and timely manner.

    We first met Carmen in January 2019 and my husband and I felt an immediate connection as
    she stood by us until we finally said our I Dos in April 2022 because COVID-19 delayed our wedding two times!

    Appreciative of this connection as Carmen was able to help us re-organize and re-book all of our existing vendors each and every time we changed our wedding date.

    Due to the nature of COVID-19 my husband and I didn’t even know if we would have our wedding so naturally, we would email Carmen every chance we got and she was so diligent, reassuring, and patient with us. Not to mention she is sensible, fair, and has an optimistic attitude.

    What also kept me at ease during the whole wedding process was this amazing google doc spreadsheet that Carmen created. Every detail to names and telephone numbers of the wedding party + wedding vendors, payment schedules, timing of events, etc. It was immaculate!

    On the day of our wedding everything went smoothly. Carmen took a video of my husband and I’s first look and I honestly tear up every time I watch it. It’s one of my favourite videos of the day and I am grateful she captured that moment for us.

    I would definitely recommend DevotedToYou to help you plan your beautiful wedding!

    Dream Wedding Achieved

    We met with 2 other wedding planners and ultimately decided on Carmen because of experience and the connection we felt. Thankful for that connection because COVID delayed our wedding 1.5 years and Carmen was incredible in re-booking / re-organizing the wedding twice.

    Initially, I was against a wedding planner. "I have planned parties before, how hard can this be?" Having been through it now, I am thankful that we got Carmen. There are so many details involved and decisions to make, that I would not have thought of. Carmen was always available for any questions that my wife and I had. Carmen also has cultivated strong relationships with key wedding vendors (photographer, videographer, florist/decor etc) and was able leverage those relationships to help us achieve my wife's dream wedding.

    We have since referred Carmen to two other couples that were extremely pleased with their weddings as well.

    If you are getting married: 1. Get a wedding planner / day of coordinator at the very least. 2. Hire Carmen. We are incredibly grateful for Carmen's hardwork to make our wedding a success.

    Why to be cautious of videographer Konrad Czystowski, if recommended

    Carmen is a professional and helped us figure out pieces for our wedding. There was one vendor that she recommended, Konrad Czystowski, which we wouldn't have met if it wasn't for Carmen and why we are not giving 5 stars. Although she tried to reach out to him on our behalf, he's continued to be difficult.

    I'm writing this to share our experience...so Konrad CZYSTOWSKI, I think he goes by Freshsox, but there's no reviews for his business and he's missing on all social media as he works off of referrals. In retrospect, that should raise alarm bells. A good videographer who cares about clients would open themselves up to feedback online, in addition to being referred. He has closed those channels and from our experience, we can see why. He did Carmen's wedding for a discount and offered us a rate of $5k for an 8 min highlight reel and 1 min trailer, which apparently is a discount, but who knows as rates are never posted in the wedding industry. However, after Covid cancelled our wedding and we were looking at new options, he took advantage of the situation. First he told us, he will raise our rates if we postpone, but he doesn't know by how much. In my opinion, this is a sign that he does NOT have his business together or care about his clients to do this during a PANDEMIC. Finally, he came back and said he wanted to charge us $1000 more...a full 20% surcharge above our $5k cash deal because we were unlucky enough to have our wedding cancelled by covid. He also said most of the vendors he talks to also is doing this, even though the vendors that I hand selected did not and were wonderful during this time. However, he was a referral from Carmen. He was dismissive when we tried to meet him halfway. After 2 months of stress and waiting for him to respond to our emails or of him avoiding our calls, he decides we don't deserve our money back and is trying to keep our $2500 deposit. Clearly after what he has done, he created a situation in which it was impossible to trust him or want to have him on an important day like our wedding.

    It's a difficult situation for all of us, but he chose to make it even more difficult. I wont go into the specifics, but he's not returning our $2500.

    Based on this circumstance we are all in, his contract requires that he returns our deposit if he can't perform due to an unforeseeable situation like a pandemic, but based on what we've seen, his biggest focus is money not how clients feel about what he's doing.

    Our learnings are, even if you are referred by someone, or they are touted as a 'pro' in the industry, it's hard to trust someone if they don't have real reviews. Honestly...we wish we were given better choices of videographers during the selection process. He said he shot for a Raptor in Miami and insinuated it was Chris Bosh to help win our business, but we never validated this. It's easy for people to say whatever when they don't have reviews or the work posted publicly. For your wedding, don't just look at the video portfolio, but keep in mind who you're hiring. It's that whole genius, but a jerk notion. You want to work with someone who is a genius, but also trustworthy and wont take advantage or is tough to work with during the worst of times. Because who know what can happen these days.

    Carmen exceed my expectations

    From my first initial meeting with her, she was warm, stylish, professional while also making you feel really comfortable. She came prepared with everything you would expect and more (with cute folders too!), we hit it off and after that I knew she would be my planner. During the process, she really made it as smooth as possible. Being in interior design and operations myself I was used to noticing the fine details of everything! However she would make me feel at ease and would be on top of everything (including answering my 17 question emails!). Although the services I agreed with only allowed a few meetings and phone calls, there was no limit with Carmen. She would always assist and try to help with any requests and always went above and beyond. After the whole process, I would like to think of Carmen as a friend. She keeps in touch and doesn't just drop you like other vendors would after your services have been fulfilled. Oh and she is fluent in Chinese! That was a bonus for me as she could communicate with my parents and really knew the Chinese wedding traditions. On the day of my wedding, everything went so smoothly, I honestly didn't have to bat an eye and everything turned out perfect! We were on schedule, everything was set up exactly the way I want, etc. She literally made my dream come true and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a planner!

    Amazing experience with Carmen

    Thank you Carmen and her team. They are absolutely amazing to work with.
    The wedding day came out perfectly, and it was exactly what I dreaming for. We hired Carmen as month of coordinator. Because we would like to design our wedding by ourselves, and Carmen shared lots of good advice and thoughts with us. We believe hiring Carmen was one of our best decision we made for.

    Love you Carmen!

    Devoted to You offers a very personal and one of a kind service! There was only 1 month away till the wedding day and we still had some major tasks that weren’t settle! Right after our initial meeting with Carmen, we knew right away that we approached the right person to board with us. From planning the wedding day logistic to negotiating with the remaining vendors, Carmen was more like our kind and friendly older sister who guided us through the jungle of worries and anxiety. At the end of the day, it’s not just about the quantity of tasks that was done but the quality and happiness found in us and our guests. Carmen offers a truly amazing service where its work shine more than any 5 stars reviews!

    Great job on our wedding!

    We got married last October and had a wonderful time at our wedding, and we couldn't have done it without the hard work delivered by the Devoted To You team. My wife had a hard time convincing me of the need for a wedding planner, but in hindsight, I would definitely recommend their services to couples looking to enjoy their wedding day without having to worry about the necessary logistics of hosting a complex event.

    The DTY team communicated with us in a timely manner and responded to our concerns clearly during our planning stage. My wife and I had a hard time coming up with elegant ideas for a reception backdrop last minute but the DTY team really stepped up on our wedding day and surprised us with a beautiful backdrop framing our wonderfully decorated sweetheart table. We also really appreciated that they made sure everything ran smoothly up until we were sent off with sparklers, which they coordinated nicely with our guests.

    My husband and I would highly recommend Carmen Luk and her team at Devoted To You for her wedding planning and coordination services. Carmen went well beyond her scope of duty to ensure that we had a seamless and memorable day. Prior to the wedding, she met with the two of us on a number of occasions to understand what we wanted in our perfect day and help plan it. Knowing our MC was a bit nervous, she even met with him to ensure he was comfortable. She would always be prepared at these meetings with a plan of action as well as extra print outs for what was needed to be done. Carmen would also try to make herself available when it came to meeting with vendors (although she was not required to). Most importantly, she would be up front with us on costs of certain vendors and whether there were too many activities that would run over time.

    Carmen and her team assisted throughout the planning process from the recommendation and selection of vendors, to the coordination with the hotel and the set-up. In the lead up to the wedding, Carmen was always very responsive and quick to address any concerns we had. Despite having a cultural wedding with over 300 people, Carmen provided us with a detailed schedule and ensured the whole wedding party was on time. She was extremely helpful particularly with the logistics as we had many different events throughout the day (door games, tea ceremony, church ceremony, reception, dinner, etc). From the start of day when she arrived at 6am to prep the bridesmaids for the makeup artists to the dinner reception, Carmen and her team were very professional and would be helpful wherever possible and no matter how small the task. Her team even assisted me in my numerous outfit changes during the evening! Carmen is also respectful to parents/ relatives and was able to communicate to them in Cantonese and Mandarin which was a huge plus for us.

    Being a bit of a bridezilla who is a perfectionist, I was truly impressed with Carmen's work. She truly goes above and beyond to make everything perfect and everyone happy.
    We can't thank Carmen and her team enough for helping us with our wedding. We look forward to having them plan our future events :)
