How They Work

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.

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.

Great Day of Coordinator!

Hiring Zerlene from Impresario Events was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding at Three Feathers Terrace.

From our first conversation leading up to the wedding to the moment the night ended, Zerlene was incredibly organized, professional, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. She thought of every detail, kept our timeline running seamlessly, and ensured every vendor, family member, and member of our wedding party knew exactly where they needed to be. Because of her, we were able to truly relax and soak in every moment instead of worrying about logistics.

What impressed us most was how calm and confident she remained throughout the day. She handled everything behind the scenes so effortlessly that we never had to think about anything except enjoying our wedding. Her attention to detail and ability to keep everything on track made the entire day feel effortless.

If you're looking for someone who is organized, reliable, and genuinely cares about making your wedding day everything you've dreamed of, we cannot recommend Zerlene highly enough. We are so grateful for everything she did to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. Thank you, Zerlene, for giving us the gift of a completely stress-free day as we couldn't have imagined our wedding without you!

July 2026 wedding

Zerlene goes above and beyond for her clients. She is very efficient at creating day-of schedules and back-up plans. She also provides great recommendations. I hired Zerlene as a day-of coordinator but I felt supported and received kindness for months in advance. She is experienced and reliable- I would highly recommend her!

Best Investment Ever!

Hiring Zerlene as our coordinator was by far one of the best investments we made for our wedding. Without her, the day would not have gone nearly as smoothly as it did. Her proactiveness, preparedness, and overall calmness allowed us to put all of our trust in her and truly enjoy the day stress-free. She ensured everything was set up for our ceremony, reception, managed all of our vendors, and ensured she closed to loop on everything at the end of night so that we did not forget to take home anything. Would highly recommend if you're looking to enjoy an organized, stress-free event!

Do yourself a favour and book Impresario Events

I am so glad my partner and I hired Impresario Events to take on Day of Wedding Coordination.

Leading up to the wedding, Impresario asked excellent, detailed questions so that they fully understood the event. I loved that they got in touch with all of my vendors the week before the wedding and had thoughtful conversations with each one to ensure that everyone was on the same page.

Zoya was our lead coordinator on the day of our wedding. Right from the ceremony rehearsal, Zoya's calm and decisive demeanour made me feel confident going into the day ahead. On the day of the wedding, I didn't think twice about the decor, meal, or timeline - I could see Zoya rocking and moving behind the scenes, always two steps ahead of the guests. Sure enough, everything went off without a hitch.

Thank you, Zoya and Zerlene!

We think she might be a magician… in the best way possible

Working with Zerlene was genuinely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We cannot recommend her enough.

Her professionalism, personality, transparency, responsiveness, and overall approach to planning are truly unmatched. Wedding planning was incredibly overwhelming for us, especially since we knew almost nothing going into it, and decision fatigue was very real. Zerlene’s insight, honesty, transparency, knowledge, experience, and decisiveness were exactly what we needed. She has this directness in a playful way that we appreciated that honestly kept us well informed and sane throughout the process.

What we appreciated most was that she never dismissed our vision or ideas, even when they may have sounded unrealistic and/or all over the place. Somehow, she always worked her magic and found a way to make things happen while still guiding us realistically and professionally.

She treats you like an actual human, not just another client. She was so understanding of different cultures, emotions, language barriers, time zones, family dynamics… all the moving parts that come with planning a wedding. Her rapport and communication made us feel so supported every step of the way, and she was always incredibly responsive whenever we needed her.

She’s also amazing at working with any vendors you throw into the mix. No matter the personalities, styles, or moving parts involved, she collaborates seamlessly and makes everything feel cohesive and under control.

On the wedding day itself, we barely had to worry about anything because Zerlene already had everything handled, often even the things we as a couple completely overlooked. She was always several steps ahead.

She is truly wonderful to work with, goes above and beyond in every aspect, and delivers so much value for what she charges. Don’t sleep on her!! She is incredible!!! Just go with her already, we are speaking from experience here!!

Zerlene at Impresario made our day extra special

We got married March 28 at Windsor Arms Hotel. Zerlene had been amazing to work with during all of the prep until the big day, being very organized and responsive. On the day there was seamless coordination with all of our vendors and our ceremony was absolutely perfect.

Saved the day ... perfection to work with - is on your side .....

Zerlene was FANTASTIC - I cannot emphasize enough how professional and on top of things she was. She is a very smart - problem solving and graceful individual. She is very good at her job and moreover a person of integrity. She can handle the job, and some curve balls were thrown out way last minute. I strongly recommend her - and here is the most important thing - she is on your side - this is critical. Thank you, Zerlene - you saved the day.

Day of Coordinator January 2026

We are so glad that we worked with Zerlene and her team as our day of coordinators! We met with Zerlene a few times before our wedding and she connected with all of our vendors ahead of time. The day of the wedding ran so smoothly (even with last minute changes) due to Zerlene and her team. We didnt have to worry about a thing and our spaces were set up up beautifully and cleared up at the end of the night which was a huge load off of our minds. Zerlene went the extra mile by being so kind to our guests and us making sure we ate throughout the day and checking in on us! Thank you for giving us such a great & stress free day we will never forget!

Destination Wedding in Punta Cana

Zerlene was hands down amazing. I found her on a whim on google, and after dealing with several other wedding travel coordinators, she put me at ease almost immediately. She always made herself available (day and night), guided me and my partner on processes that were complex and overwhelming, and thought of so many things that never even crossed our minds. Being a new bride was very overwhelming at first, but with Zerlene’s help she made everything flow seamlessly. I’d recommend her to anyone who is looking for a good wedding travel or wedding coordinator (as she does both). Her communication skills exceeded my expectations and she was so helpful on everything from start to end.
