This takes the hassle and stress out of organizing a destination wedding.

Impresario Events believes that every wedding is a unique reflection of the couple and that their role is in partnership with them as an advisor, guide, and trusted friend. It is their goal to ensure that you feel stress-free throughout this special time in your life, especially as many future newlyweds are already dealing with other daily life happenings and time is precious.

Incredible

When I first started planning my wedding nearly a year and a half ago, I was a bit on the fence about hiring a wedding planner. Eventually, I came around to the idea when I realized how much work it would be and so I interviewed approximately 10-12 wedding planners in the GTA, and I had by far the best feeling about Zerlene. Now that my wedding is over, I would say that Zerlene was easily the single best investment we made in our wedding, and I attribute the success of our wedding entirely to her. From the start, Zerlene was incredibly organized and responsive. She remained on top of all the details, constantly reminding us about deadlines and decisions and did not let things slip through the cracks. Zerlene also had amazing vendor recommendations, attended all of our meetings and had questions for the vendors that I wouldn't have even thought to ask.

Zerlene went above and beyond. Our wedding was not an easy one - it was a large wedding (nearly 200 people), and we had a lot of individual guest accommodations and specific requests for various vendors. She was able to execute on all of it and always remained incredibly calm. Even in the face of a couple of difficult vendors that we were dealing with, Zerlene was on top of it - she reached out to them immediately and frequently, and she advocated for us to ensure that we got what we wanted.

If you are at all on the fence about hiring a wedding planner (or can't decide which you want to hire), you will absolutely not go wrong with Zerlene. She was the best decision we made, and I could not be happier with how our wedding turned out. Thanks to Zerlene, it will truly be remembered as the happiest day of my life.

The best!!!!!!!!!!

We absolutely loved working with Zerlene! She was so accommodating and helpful through our entire planning process and took away all of the wedding planning stress. She went above and beyond to be responsive and to help not only us but all of our guests to arrange travel plans and wedding plans. Zerlene made everything easier and genuinely cared about every detail. We were so lucky to have her and highly recommend her!
Thank you for everything Z!!!!! :)

The wedding day was perfection.

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner than Zerlene! From the very beginning, she was a joy to work with—professional, calm, and incredibly easy to communicate with. Her calming personality helped keep us relaxed throughout the entire planning process, and she took the time to design an itinerary that truly worked for us, considering all our preferences and priorities.

Zerlene was always responsive and quick to answer any questions or concerns we had. About six weeks before the wedding, she took over contacting our vendors, which was such a relief! She coordinated everything flawlessly, ensuring that every detail was taken care of so we didn’t have to worry on the big day. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, our wedding day went off without a hitch, and we could fully enjoy ourselves.

A truly special moment came during the rehearsal when my dad couldn't make it. Zerlene stepped in without hesitation and walked me down the aisle. That gesture meant the world to me and was just one example of how much she genuinely cared about making our day as perfect as possible.

We’re so grateful for Zerlene’s support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, organized, and thoughtful wedding planner. She made our special day truly unforgettable!

Zarlene is a wonder

My partner and I recently got married at the Kortright Centre for Conservation, hired Zarlene as our day of coordinator, and let me just say wow! She helped us so much starting about a month before the wedding. She helped us with organizing the timeline, made sure all our vendors were on the same page, helped with the set up of the venue, and even kept track of important documents that my partner and I had overlooked in the rush and excitement of the day. I never once felt nervous or stressed because since our first communication Zarlenes experience and professionalism was clear. Thank you so much Zarlene for such a wonderful time, we appreciate all that you do!

Hired for Day of coordinator

We hired Impresario Events as a day-of coordinator for our wedding. Zerlene was really easy to work with, answered our emails quickly, and had some really great resources and ideas for us. On the day of, she arrived on time and helped us set up. She was on point the whole evening - ushering folks to where they should be, communicating with vendors and staff, and in general, keeping everything on track.
Overall, we were really happy with her work.

Zerlene’s Services

I hired Zerlene for her month before + day of wedding package services and she exceeded my expectations. I felt much less stressed during the weeks leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day itself. She ensured that no detail was missed in order for the big day to flow seamlessly. Additionally, she is also a joy to work with and always got back to me promptly to answer any questions I had. She is also much more reasonably priced vs. Many of the other coordinators/planners I look into.

Amazing Multicultural Wedding

Zerlene from Impresario Events was invaluable in planning our multi-day, multi-ceremony wedding. The bride and I hired Zerlene for full service wedding planning for a wedding in Toronto, and we live in the US. Given that we were remote, we could not have planned such an amazing wedding without her. She was very flexible working with us, gave us tons of great advice, solved problems for us, was extremely responsive at all hours of the day, and made wedding planning fun.

Professional, Organized and Open to a Challenge!

I did not have the most conventional wedding reception, but with Zerlene as my coordinator, it somehow came together perfectly. My husband and I could never have pulled off our dream day without her. She tended to every detail that I would have never thought of alone. Zerlene took care of all the confirmations and details leading up to the wedding so I could focus on the day. I highly recommend Zerlene to take care of any style wedding you might be throwing! Thank you, Zerlene!

Amazing co-ordinator!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Zerlene as our day-of-coordinator. She really knows her stuff and made our wedding day run extremely smoothly.

From the moment we met, you could just tell she was on it. She gave us detailed forms for us to fill out, which helped us think through our planning process. She also recommended time frames for each portion of the day, which helped us plan the logistics.

On the day of our wedding, I didn't even notice any issues since Zerlene solved them immediately. Thank you Zerlene!
