Other than marrying Matt, this was the best decision I've ever made. Our day was an absolute dream. How it looked, felt, and how we were able to enjoy as much time as possible with our guests was is irreplaceable. The experience working with the team at JYW was so good. Planning can be super stressful but having the experience, energy and connections JYW brought to the table was incredibly helpful. The professionalism was magic, always on time for meetings, perfectly responsive to questions, approachable and so super helpful it made me excited about planning, and creating this beautiful day with them. We had help with planning, decor, and day of coordination. Most definitely recommend this talented team!

Julianne Young Weddings planned our three-day wedding event in Banff. Words cannot express how amazing Julianne was throughout the entire year and a half planning process and how grateful my husband and I were to have her and Aimsley at our wedding. When we were looking for planners, it only took a short skype phone call for my fiancé and I to fall in love with her energy and enthusiasm. My fiancé and I were living long distance and knew we would need her to plan almost every aspect of our wedding. From the get go, she offered us the flexibility to tailor her services to exactly what we needed and this separated her from all the rest. When we started planning, I had a vision in my mind of what our wedding would look like. When Julianne showed us our décor inspiration board for the first time, we were shocked at how she not only brought that vision to life but she elevated it to another level and made it more spectacular than we could have ever imagined. She always made a point to help keep things within our budget which was very important to us and all the vendors she recommended to us exceeded our expectations. This allowed us to put our complete trust in her and made the whole process so much easier. On our last skype meeting a week before our wedding, she reminded us that if we had any issues or concerns pop up, to let her know and that she will take care of it. She wanted to make sure that we enjoyed all the days leading up to our wedding day and not to stress. This one comment meant so much to us. On the day of our wedding, Julianne and Aimsley were on top of everything and so professional. Our bridal party kept telling us how amazing they were. During our room reveal when I looked at our reception decor for the first time, I burst into tears. It was so beautiful! I still tear up just thinking about that moment! You can tell Julianne lives and breathes beautiful weddings and this is absolutely what she was meant to do. She has all the elements of a perfect planner with intense organizational skills, creativity, and style. I promise, if you choose JYW to help with your special day, you will feel as thankful that you did as we do.

Having Julianne and her team be a part of our wedding was the best decision we could have made. They were literally our sanity throughout the entire planning process. You don't think you will find anyone that cares about your wedding more than you, until you meet Julianne. She kept us on track, guiding us in finding our perfect fit for each decision, and always did all of this will so much positivity and grace. There is no part of a wedding that Julianne and her team aren't complete masters of. They made our big day (and entire four day weekend) work out flawlessly. Both of us said, "wow, we didn't pay them enough." We can't even find a way to thank them for all of the magic they made come to life!!

The amount of work, dedication and time that goes into planning a wedding is quite overwhelming, and when we passed the planning ‘torch’ to Julianne a month prior to our big day, we were ready, relieved and excited.
During our transitional meeting, Julianne made the anticipation and reality of the closely looming date so incredibly exciting, and she asked all the right questions. We walked out of that meeting and both said "thank goodness we have her"! When the big day came, Julianne was as bright, lovely and professional as ever, and was not only our planner, but a friend. She took on every role with grace and poise, and every task was thoughtfully executed. The amount of work she did on the wedding day was extraordinary. She is the hardest worker, and everything went flawlessly! We were never worried or concerned, and were left enjoying the day with our family & friends.
A wedding planner is an absolute must, and hiring Julianne Young Weddings is a necessity. Thank you Julianne, so much for everything, and for making our wedding day the best day of our lives. You were born to be a wedding planner!
XO Stephen & Samantha

Julianne and her team were amazing! They were so helpful and professional from the first email to the end of our reception. They were easy to talk and plan with, they helped with decor ideas and the planning timeline. We received a timeline checklist and were given advice and recommendations for vendors, many of which we ended up booking. They were very professional on the wedding day as well, everything was timed out perfectly and they kept everyone calm and collected. Right at the end of the reception we had a couple wedding crashers and the girls were on it so fast and came to talk to us about it. They also had sandals ready for the bridesmaids at the end of the night and continued to make sure everything and everything looked great and happy! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone! They have varying packages depending on what services you need which was so helpful! Thanks girls for making our wedding perfect!!
