Services Offered

Day-of coordination, full or partial planning, and destination weddings for locations throughout the Caribbean are the core packages offered at this company. With the day-of coordination option, the wedding planner becomes involved about a month before your big day, providing you with guidance and assistance in those last few critical weeks. They will be there throughout the wedding day to manage vendors and the day's happenings professionally and effectively. Their services take away all the worry, allowing you to truly enjoy your wedding knowing Impresario Events has everything in hand. With full or partial planning, the professionals assist you with booking the perfect venue and stellar vendors, while keeping your budget and timeline on track. You will be guided throughout the entire planning process and can cruise into your wedding in full confidence that it is everything it should and could be.

The destination wedding service is start-to-finish, offering you invaluable guidance through the venue selection process depending on your needs and budget. With travel counselor credentials, the team can handle all the travel arrangements and bookings for you and your guests. In addition, as professional wedding planners, they can choreograph the details of the actual wedding with the resort coordinator on your behalf. 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. They will ensure your wedding planning and event’s execution is a joyful and relaxed experience rather than a challenge.

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.

Vow Renewal

We planned a vow renewal and was originally going to handle ourselves. On last minute, I found Zerlene at Impresario Events. We were so glad we hired her! She knew the best vendors from invitations, venue, cake, band, flowers, photography. All top notch. The final event was better than we expected. As one guest say, 11 out of 10! Zerlene is a pro working well into the night and triple checking everything, even the smallest details that we didn’t consider. She made it so easy and great value for what we received. The event was a smashing success and most of all gave great peace of mind. Thank you Zerlene!

Responsive, organized, efficient at managing all minute details of the wedding day!

Impressario Events was excellent and surpassed all our expectations! We met with several other planners, and we knew after speaking with Zerlene that she had the knowledge, confidence, and organization we wanted. We cannot recommend Zerlene enough, and our wedding day went smoothly because of her capable team. If you are unsure of where to begin, Impressario Events will guide you at every step of the process.

As a meticulous organizer myself, I was thoroughly impressed by Zerlene's attention to detail, professionalism, and level of readiness. Her years of experience in the industry was demonstrated through her helpful recommendations and adjustments in the schedule. She communicated with all our wedding vendors and ensured we were all on the same page so that our wedding day went smoothly. During the evening, Zerlene checked in on us on a regular basis and made sure we were taken care of.

Zerlene was responsive to all my emails and patiently answered any questions we had. We were pleased to hire someone who worked with us, and met us where we were at. Zerlene is truly one of a kind and we were blown away by her charismatic personality balanced with a firm demeanour, which indicated to us that she would be able to interact effectively with all types of vendors.

Amazing Experience with Destination Bride and Zerlene!

When my fiancé and I first started looking into destination weddings, I reached out to a few different websites for information. Zerlene was by far the quickest to respond, and right from our very first phone call, I felt completely reassured — she clearly knew her stuff.

Throughout the entire planning process, Zerlene was incredibly responsive, attentive, and went out of her way to check in with me multiple times to make sure everything was on track. Her support made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable.

If you’re planning a destination wedding, I highly recommend working with Destination Bride. You’ll be in great hands!

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!

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.

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!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
