Jodie is a Wedding Planner Fairy Godmother !

We cannot say enough positive things about Jodie Garneau and her team at Thistle & Thorne. Jodie was with us from day one, providing us unparalleled partial planning services, with a calm and professional approach.
Jodie was able to keep us on track with our plans, budget, vendors and was a core part of our wedding day bliss! Two team members, Destinye and Krystal, were also on site and phenomenal with set-up with our decor; they were genuine, kind and were so caring with our guests. The whole team worked effortlessly in the background, and treated us like royalty.

Jodie was a blast to work with, and we are so thankful we were able to have her (plus, the Thistle and Thorne team) on our big day! We recommend Jodie with Thistle and Thorne for your big day.

100/10 recommend!

We are so filled with gratitude as we look back on our wedding day, and we owe so much of the magic and joy we experienced to Alex. Her expertise, attention to detail, and unwavering support made all the difference in creating the perfect day we had always dreamed of.

From the countless hours of planning and coordination to the flawless execution on the day itself, Alex was an absolute rockstar. Your calm demeanour, problem-solving skills, and genuine care for our vision truly shone through in every aspect of the planning process.

Thank you for going above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. Your dedication and hard work did not go unnoticed, and we will forever be grateful to have had you by our side every step of the way.

With heartfelt thanks,

Roze & Troy

Destinye is the BEST!

Thistle and Thorne weddings are absolutely trustworthy company.
Destinye was my main wedding planner and she is such a gem, she truly cares about your wedding and really takes away all the stress that is involved in putting a wedding together.
Destinyne and Jodie went out of their way to put over the top effort to make all my dreams come true for my husband and I’s wedding day.
They took over a very challenging task with a vendor and I was so impressed by their professionalism.
I would wholeheartedly and truly recommend them , you can trust Destinye with all your vendor search , she will always point you in the right direction for reliable and trustworthy vendors and to keep you organized !
As you know as a bride and groom this is very important.
Destinye’s professional services and expertise leaves you with a calmness you prayed for.
She is there for you through every laughter, your stresses in life, your tears and everything in between.
Hire her, I promise you, you’ll not regret it

Best Planners Around!!

We have had the pleasure to work with Thistle & Thorne's team DJing a few weddings this past year. They are always on top of every detail and keep the day organized and worry free. I would highly recommend using their services if you need help with your wedding planning :)

Best investment of the wedding

Destinye was an AMAZING person to have on our side from day 1 when we met all the way through to the wedding. She has such a kind and go getter spirit - you’ll feel like friends by the end. We loved having her (and her team) and she made our (very complicated with timing and transportation) wedding run like a dream. She rolled with every last minute change and made every last request happen, no questions asked. Before we got engaged, I didn’t even know a day of coordinator existed. Now, I can’t imagine pulling off our wedding without one. Highly, highly recommend

10/10 recommend Thistle & Thorne to anyone embarking on the wedding planning journey!

Holy smokes! Where do we start with how much we love Jodie and her Thistle & Thorne Team!!!

Our wedding day was one of the best days either of us have ever experienced and that is due in large part to Jodie and her amazing team! Throughout the two years we took to plan our wedding (thanks COVID!), Jodie was always professional, responsive, organized and, overall, was such a delight to work with. She made every interaction feel like we were the only wedding she was planning and helped us every step of the way.

As an expert in the industry, she was able to help us identify vendors that best suited our vision, while also keeping us within our budget. She always answered our endless questions and allowed us to have a fairly stress-free wedding planning experience.

The end result was spectacular and we will be reliving our special day for years and years to come! With Jodie’s direction, our vision and vibe came together perfectly and it was so beautiful.

10/10 recommend Thistle & Thorne to anyone embarking on the wedding planning journey!

P.S. We also loved the platform she uses (Aisle Planner) as it helped make the planning process even easier (winning combination = Jodie + Aisle Planner)

If you need a wedding coordinator - this is the one

I do not have enough space to write all of the things that make Jodie an incredible choice for being our wedding coordinator, but here are some of her highlights:
- She has an extensive wealth of knowledge all things wedding related that made our planning process so much smoother. Whether it was COVID regulations, vendor suggestions, decoration trends, flow of planning a day, we had the utmost trust in her and her guidance every step of the way and our success of the day really shows how important he input was with our planning.
- She is probably the hardest working woman you will ever meet - many of our guests were amazed at her organization, diligence, leadership, and grace that she carried throughout the day. As a bride, she allowed me to feel fully present on the day because I knew that everything was being taken care of with precision and care.
- She is so stinking thoughtful and kind - by the time the wedding came around, it didn't feel like we were in a transactional business & client relationship, but as friends. Her emails are always warm and empathetic, our planning meetings we're filled with laughter, and on the day of, even with how busy she was, she would give us thoughtful touches like surprising us with glasses of champagne to celebrate right after the ceremony, or taking sweet videos that we'll keep forever as memories!

I could go on but hopefully you've already booked her, and if you haven't then what the heck are you waiting for.

Highly Recommend!

Working with Jodie and the PEAKS and VOWS team was an absolute dream!! With two months notice they helped us make our dream wedding day a reality. I am very detail oriented and love planning but it was so nice to hand it over to Jodie and let her take care of everything. She is super friendly, easy going and made our day stress free! From quick responses to helping with last minute special requests, she was a breeze to work with and she clearly loves what she does. We cannot recommend her enough for helping plan your special day!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Very professional and helpful

Jodie was our coordinator for our wedding at high gate hills retreat. Having a coordinator for your day of is money well spent.
Jodie made sure our decorations looked great before we walked down the aisle (it was a windy day), she had great recommendations like renting blankets and heaters. She Helped coordinate the DJ and the wedding party so they all went down the aisle with the right music and spaced apart.
Jodie was part of a package with our venue but now that I’ve had her i feel it was something we needed for our wedding. She took stress off the day and made sure everything went smoothly.
Thank you jodie for making my day amazing

Jodie was the best!

Can't say enough amazing things about Jodie! After our wedding plans changed due to Covid, we were so lucky to have found a new venue and wedding coordinator on very short notice. Jodie worked her magic, and made our small 30 person wedding at Highgate Hills Retreat come to life! She had so much knowledge, professionalism, and creativity. Her easy going personality fit perfectly with our vibe, and we could not have asked for a better wedding coordinator!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
