Amazing Planner!

We hired Trade Sensations Events & Co. for our wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with the service! Justin Bueno, our planner, was absolutely incredible—detail-oriented, organized, and energetic! He was fantastic at communicating with our vendors and ensured everything went off without a hitch. We would hire him again in a heartbeat!

For our Hindu ceremony, we had the added support of Pavan, who was a huge help with his knowledge of what needed to be done. We also had a student, Nicole, who took great initiative with table setups and helped ensure everything was perfectly arranged.

One small drawback was the absence of the two notion baskets for both the ladies' and men’s bathrooms, which were part of the package and meant to match our color theme. We were looking forward to that detail, but unfortunately, they weren’t provided.

Additionally, we were asked for a tip at the end, which felt a bit unexpected. We believe tips should be optional and given directly to the planners and assistants who worked hard during the day, rather than covering any administrative fees. Those fees should be included in the overall price, which we had already paid for the 'Full Day Wedding Coordination' package.

Despite these minor issues, we were very happy with the overall experience and highly recommend Trade Sensations, especially Justin, for their excellent service and support on our special day!

Great work!

Hire Trade Sensations and you won't be disappointed!
We are so happy to have hired them for our special day! Debbie was truly amazing at her job. She really took care of everything for us, of course with the assistance of Pavan. Though there was some hiccups along the way, Debbie was on top of it all and made sure we didn't worry about a thing. Thank you again for making our day as smooth as possible!

Trade sensation - trade in fabulous!

We used Trade Sensation for our August 2024 wedding, they helped make my wedding absolutely magical. I hired them for a day of coordinating, and got so much more. They got involved with my event a couple of months before our big day, they put together a timeline and documents to provide to all my vendors. They made sure that my day went smoothly. Everything arrived on time. They conducted the event with the grace of an orchestra conductor. On my team I had Samantha and Pave, who are absolutely fabulous, and Carla, who owns the company, took a very hands-on interest in our wedding and made sure everything went above and beyond our expectations. I would recommend Trade Sensation do anyone looking to have peace of mind on their wedding day.

Unbeatable

Justin and the team were so amazing. I left them in a space that was full of DIY candles, flowers, place cards etc etc and they completely transformed the space. Any changes, no matter how last minute, we’re done without a hitch. Of any advice I would recommend to people planning their wedding, it would be to hire these guys

Stunning final decor with some bumps along the way

We hired Trade Sensation as the decor team for our wedding and they did a truly beautiful job. Kristine took time to understand our vision and brought it to life beautifully. The team was also very accomodating throughout the process. For example, when I shared with them that the invoice was over our budget, Carla spent some time with me to reduce the costs while still keeping the spirit that I was hoping for. Additionally, we had a traditional set up in front of our head table as well as a few items that I had DIYed that they kindly agreed to set up and did it perfectly! They were also quite flexible to problem solve when we were having issues with storage.
There were a few aspects of my experience with team that I think could have been handled better. Firstly, we were initially quoted a certain fee and made our decision to go with Trade Sensation based on that number. Unfortunately, we weren't told that this number can go up drastically after meeting with the floral team, and we were under the impression that the initial quote would be close to the final price which wasn't the case. As a result, we had to eliminate aspects of the decor that we had initially discussed to bring down the price to something that was within our budget. Secondly, some time before the wedding, a realized that the remaining balance that was sent to me is missing $1000 that I had already paid. I reached out to one of the team members who helped me solve the issue. A few days before the wedding, I recieved a message from another team member about the remaining $1000 (which I had already paid, but there was a discrepency in their invoice). I explained that their colleague is aware that it's already been paid. The response I got was that only one person handles payments. As a result, 4 days before my wedding, I had to scavenge through my banking records and send screenshots of my e-transfers to prove that I had indeed sent the full amount. At the same time, there was a discrepency between the number of centerpieces that were ordered by the florist and the number in the invoice (which was the final number we had requested after initially estimating a larger number). So again, I had to go through hundreds of emails to find the email I had sent with the final numbers to prove that I had adjusted the number of centerpieces within the time frame required by the floral team.
I do have to say, despite these experiences, I would not change my decision to pick Trade Sensation as our decor team. The final decor was stunning and that's ultimately what mattered to me. The team was also quite receptive to feedback after I clarified what my concerns were which I appreciate.

Thank you Carla & Justin!

I was extremely happy with Trade Sensation's level of professionalism and organizational skills. My husband and I were so overwhelmed in thinking we could coordinate everything ourselves. With a few months left to go, thank goodness we had Justin to help us! He is an absolute rockstar and I fully believe our wedding would not have went as smoothly as it did without him. I appreciate how thorough he was in planning, and in coordinating with all my vendors so I didn't have a thing to worry about! He has such a fun loving personality and it really lightened the mood and put us at ease the day of. I highly recommend him if you choose this company as your coordinator!

Excellent experience Thank you Justin and Carla!

We hired Trade Sensation for a Day Of coordination for our small wedding.

Carla set us up with her senior coordinator Justin. Both Carla, Justin and their team did a phenomenal job with both planning and implementing the day of the wedding.

They made us feel relaxed and focused for our special day!

Also their pricing for Day of coordination was very fair!

Thank you!

The only choice for wedding coordinators!!!!!

We used the Trade Sensation team for same-day wedding coordination and it was the best decision we made related to our wedding. Specifically, Justin was absolutely phenomenal to work with. Leading up to the wedding, he made sure that everything was organized so that it would be executed to perfection, and he most definitely delivered. From coordinating with all of the vendors and with our venue the week before the wedding, to taking charge of everything on the day of, we truly felt like guests at our own wedding because we did not have anything to worry about... all because Justin (and Angie on the day of!) took care of anything that came up. The Trade Sensation team's attention to detail, commitment to perfection, and overall kindness made them an absolute pleasure to work with. We would work with them again for all coordination needs!!!

Top Tier Service

The team of Carla, Debbie and Justin are truly the dream team. They attended to our every need and we're so hospitable. From day one they were so kind and understanding, where other planners were giving us the cold shoulder because we were going to be immediate clients, the team here understood our situation and encouraged us to do what we wanted. They were accommodating to our every need. Made our dreams come true. They were so friendly and went the extra mile, they really walk you through everything. I have told all my friends getting married you need a wedding planner and look no further than trade sensations .

Awesome team

A month before her wedding, our daughter suggested that we engage Trade Sensation as our day of the event coordinator. Having planned all the details and engaged the vendors ourselves for our cross cultural event, I was hesitant as I felt it was not necessary - Boy! wasn't I wrong about that!!
I was very glad that we had Justin with us on the big day! He was everywhere taking care of our multiple requests and needs - all with a smile on his face. Indian weddings are long with multiple events and Justin and Mandeep made it seamless for all of us.
When we had to reschedule the evening events - Jewish ceremony and reception - to a later date, Trade sensation accommodated the change and worked their magic again. Justin and Angela made us relax, laugh and enjoy the evening making sure everything was perfect. Thank you Trade Sensation team!
