Nothing short of amazing

We have nothing but great things to say about Afzia and Style & Elegance. As our "month-of" coordinator, Afzia kept us on track in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and left no stone unturned when it came to planning our big day. She has a cheerful attitude, thorough process, thoughtful ideal and very calming presence that made the wedding rehearsal, ceremony and reception go smoothly.

With Afzia's help, everything about our wedding just seemed to flow effortlessly. We cannot thank Afzia enough for her help and would without hesitation recommend her to any couple looking for a helping hand making their wedding day a dream come true!

Absolutely Fantastic!

We met with Afzia in the fall of 2019 to start the process of planning a wedding. We didn’t know what we were doing so we thought it would be best to leave it to the professionals. We are absolutely sure we made the right decision after three pandemic related postponements we finally got to have our day at the start of 2023; it was perfect all because of her hard work. She truly is a professional.
On the day she asked us two questions: 1) are you ready to start?, and 2) we’re a little ahead of schedule, do you want to take photos with all of the guest tables? The second questions was an on the fly idea to fill a 30-minute gap before dinner that would have otherwise been a lull. Her quick thinking gave us a memorable moment as our guest thought up themes and made funny faces for the photos.
We had a fantastic day together where we could focus on each other because we knew that she was on top of things. She had detailed plans and acted as a hub for all of our vendors to connect. She was able to help us to understand the contracts we were signing with our vendors and helped us to find reputable ones that reflected our wedding style.
Afzia was easy to get along with, a pleasure to work with, and she really knows her stuff. We would absolutely recommend her to friends and family looking to plan their big day.

She helped make our day come to life and made our vision even more perfect than we had imagined it could be.

1. So friendly and professional
2. Helps you figure out the little details
3. LGBTQ+ friendly
4. If you love spreadsheets… she does too 😎

Seriously… our day wouldn’t have been as magical, if we didn’t have Afzia.

SO grateful for Afzia!

Afzia was our month of coordinator and she did an amazing job! She is so organized and super friendly. The day of there were a few hiccups, but Afzia helped make them right and made sure everything was perfect! Afzia was so great to work with and she made our vision come to life! Working with Afzia really helped with the stress and organization of the whole wedding. It would not have been as perfect as it was without Afzia.

Simply, the best.

Afzia is a complete ray of sunshine. She saved us when we were left without a planner 50 days before our wedding, during a pandemic, while we also had a lot of personal things going on. Afzia also had some things happening in her life, but not once did she drop the ball - she was on top of everything from the moment we met right through to the end of our wedding day. She was kind, respectful of everyone, and so so organized. Her attention to the small details made our vision come together better than we could have imagined. As a type A personality I don't love giving control, but she made me feel so at ease. I am usually stressed for timing or details at other people's weddings, but her timeline gave us time to breathe and enjoy every moment. We could not recommend her more!! Thank you for being apart of our day!

Overjoyed with Afzia

From the initial meeting with Afzia, we were thoroughly impressed with her level of organization and attention to detail. Even though we were not 100% certain at that point how our colour scheme and theme would be, from what we described to her, she depicted a true reflection of exactly what we wanted - with colour swatches to match! Having her took much of last-minute detail stress that would have taken us away from our wedding day. She kept us on track with timelines and vendors, and ensured everyone was contractually signed for their services. Anyone that was involved with the rehearsal dinner or required delivery was scheduled in her work-back schedule and notified accordingly. We highly recommend Afzia! On the day of our wedding she knew exactly where everyone was, including us, at all times of the day. Not a moment passed where her attentiveness did not go unnoticed. Thank you, Afzia, for making our day memorable, and for taking such good care of us!.

Amazing wedding coordinator!

Afzia was a fantastic day-of wedding coordinator at our wedding! She was professional throughout the planning process, easy to communicate with, and she even recommended a couple of vendors and helped us with final details. The schedule she created for our day was perfect - nothing was rushed or forgotten, and she kept it flexible enough that we could go with the flow as the day went on. She kept our large (and sometimes unruly) wedding party organized on our wedding day and made sure that we all knew where to be. She also did a great job of setting up our table decor in the short timeframe our venue allows, and she adapted quickly to a couple of last minute changes we made. We were able to relax and simply enjoy our wedding and our guests because Afzia and her assistant were there taking care of everything. We highly recommend working with Afzia!

Really helped to have an extra set of hands!

We had our wedding on private property so we didn't have the usual staff help for set up, having Afzia there to help take care of all the set up the day of so we could just focus on getting married was amazing. I don't know how we would have done it without her that day!

Planner Extraordinaire!

Afzia worked with us for almost a year and a half leading up to our wedding. She helped us find amazing vendors, organized items that we needed to accomplish, and truly helped us fulfill the vision we had for our Big Day! We could not recommend her services enough. We had absolutely no worries on the day of with her ensuring everything was perfect for us, even going above and beyond doing a food run when we figured out that I could not eat anything at the venue for lunch! Without her, our wedding would not have been half as beautiful! Hire her if you want your day to be as stress free as possible!
