Primrose is a group of three talented and hard working women. Mackenzie as lead planner/coordinator organizer extraodinaire, Kelly as lead designer, and Robyn as marketing/photographer. These women work so well together, they have wonderful personalities and they all communicate so effectively.
We are so grateful that after all the stress of planning a wedding ceremony in 2020, that when we hired Primrose for our reception in 2021 they took away every stress and worry we had of doing it all over again. They absolutely blew every expectation out of the water and went above and beyond for us to have a special day. They were always available to answer a quick question, to organize a zoom meeting when we needed a full update on how planning was going, and the aisle planner software they used allowed us to see the progress without getting overwhelmed. Throughout the entire planning process they helped us feel at ease.
Now on the day of the reception, the girls were amazing, we did not have to worry about a single detail. They set up and decorated the reception hall, they organized every single vendor, they delivered our flowers to us. When a problem arose they handled it, and only told us about the issue after it was all taken care of so as to keep communication open but not to worry us. During our reception if we can a concern, they were able to handle it immediately so our guests and us were completely happy. The next day they even took down the rentals, and packed up all of the things for us, so that even then we did not have to lift a finger. It was so relieving for us that our family and friends never had to lift a finger to make the event happen. Everyone could just show up have a good time and enjoy themselves.
If you are looking for a similar type of stress free wedding planning experience, book Primrose! You will not regret it. We can not say how many times we looked at each other and said, "we are so glad we hired these girls, and they are worth every penny to allow us to have our special day!"
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mackenzie, Kelly and Robyn.

Day Of Coordination
Working with MacKenzie was the best decision we could have made leading up to our special day. We hired Primrose Event Planning for their Day-of Coordination. The relief that we felt on our wedding day knowing that all the details would be taken care of was worth it all. She took care of everything from our rehearsal details to creating a timeline that made our wedding day run so smoothly that it truly was the best day ever. Our vision came to life all because of her and we felt so blessed and are forever grateful for the work that she put into our big day. Thank you again MacKenzie!
And for any one unsure about hiring a planner, this company is the best you can get, trust me, you will have no regrets.

A One of a Kind Wedding Day Designer!
We hired Primrose Events to design and decorate our wedding day this past July. Choosing Kelly with Primrose Event Planning and Design was the best decision we made when picking out wedding vendors! We came to Kelly in a panic about 6 months before our wedding day, as we were ghosted by another wedding designer who we had booked a year in advance. From the very beginning Kelly was so amazing to work with - she was so knowledgeable about the wedding industry, she really listened to our wedding day dreams and she worked so hard to make them all come true. Whenever I came up with a new idea or wanted to change something about the day of details she was easy to contact and communicate with, and most importantly she was always on board! She always had such a kind and positive attitude throughout the entire planning process, and truly lifted such a weight off my shoulders. In hindsight, I wish I would have hired her as our wedding day planner instead of just our decorator/designer!
Another great part about working with Kelly was she was always mindful of our budget, which can be hard to find in wedding vendors! She was open and honest with us about what we could and could not afford, and made every effort to find cheaper alternatives across the city if needed. Weddings are EXPENSIVE, and hiring a wedding vendor who is mindful about this was so important. Also, did I mention that she is a calligrapher?? We also hired her for her calligraphy talents, and it added the perfect touch to our day!
Planning a wedding is no easy feat, and having Kelly by my side to help with all the design and decor details of our wedding day helped to make this such a beautiful experience. I would recommend Kelly and her team to anyone looking for a wedding designer/decorator or planner. She is organized, smart, authentic, creative (and funny!) and you will not regret hiring her to make your wedding day dreams come true!!!

Lifesavers!
We hired Primrose for Day of Coordination and I’m so glad that we did! They handled all of the last minute issues that cropped up in the final well, including (but not limited to) setting up the ceremony chairs when we found out the venue didn’t, dealing with an anthill, procuring a welcome/direction sign, setting out menu cards, and probably a thousand other things. This was definitely money well spent, since they did an amazing job behind the scenes making sure our day ran smoothly! If I was to do it over again, I’d strongly consider full wedding planning services, as they really saved us a ton of stress and work.
Primrose Event Planning and Design's reply:
Stephanie! It was so great meeting you and Ryan and we are so happy that we were able to have been a small part of your day! We love to hear that we helped it run smoothly so that you were able to enjoy every moment. We wish you all the best in your future and hope that you stay in touch!

Love love love them
I had hired Mackenzie and her staff later on in my wedding planning, but the amount and support that she had given took a lot of stress off of me . Especially on my wedding day. I’m am grateful that Mackenzie was there for me and my husband on our wedding day. I would definitely be recommending her to people. She went beyond and above for us and still is! So thank you again Mackenzie!

Made for a Perfect Day
We had the most wonderful experience working with Primrose to plan our July 2nd wedding. Throughout the changing COVID restrictions, they helped us keep our heads on and continued to plan as though we would be able to host a reception. With two weeks notice when restrictions changed, they got all of the rentals and food orders in place and we were able to have a lovely reception at the Banff Springs all thanks to them. Their eye for design made the tablescapes, florals, and colour palate STUNNING and Robyn's photography captured such beautiful photos of our day. We cannot thank or recommend Primrose enough!
Primrose Event Planning and Design's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Maddy. We had such an amazing time working with you on your beautiful mountain wedding. You and Arun were such a dream to work with and we are so happy for you both.

Sam's Bachelorette Party
Primrose worked with me to put together a bachelorette party for my friend, Sam. I had contacted them pretty late in the process and the way that they were able to jump in and help bring the event to fruition was incredible! I was stressed and short for time, having just moved into my new house, and Kelly stepped in to design my new space with decor, food, and beverages. She even spent 5 hours building a custom massive balloon arch that I had requested. When Sam arrived, she was stunned with how beautiful everything was put together and absolutely loved the balloon arch. It was an incredible, eye-catching feature and it provided a great backdrop for photos. Thanks, Primrose!

Summer Company BBQ
We had the ladies from Primrose design and coordinate our company BBQ back in 2019. Our company was turning 5 years old and we wanted to celebrate with our entire crew. There was about 100 people there, we held it in a public park. It was beautifully designed with the theme of Summer BBQ. We had red checkered linens, floral centrepieces, and white chairs. We worked with them to coordinate a buffet style food service that ran efficiently and smoothly, despite the heavy rainstorm that came in the afternoon. Luckily, they were prepared by holding our BBQ where there was a permanent structure with a roof to keep everyone dry and warm. The rain didn't stay for long and everyone had a wonderful, fun-filled afternoon!

Great experience. Definitely recommend!
Mackenzie went above and beyond for us. We were able to hand things off at the month out mark and didn’t have to worry about the details since she had it covered. It was great to feel like we had someone in our corner.
Primrose also did a stellar job with the venue design and were able to execute on our vision without issue.

Thank you Primrose!
I couldn’t have done it without these lovely ladies! I am so grateful they helped my wedding come together so beautifully. I really appreciated their flexibility; they were willing to support me completely in all of the aspects I wanted to plan myself and they were happy to take care of anything I preferred not to handle myself!
