Wedding Planners in Toronto: 13 Top-Rated Picks, Service Levels and Prices

Bride and groom walking past an elegantly set table at an outdoor wedding reception.

You’ve booked the venue and the photographer yourselves, and the spreadsheet is finally full. Now you’re wondering who runs the day so neither of you has to.

Choose too little help and the vendor follow-ups land back on you in the final weeks, when you’ll least want them.

This guide shows which wedding planners in Toronto offer each of the four service levels and what each level costs. If you’ve done your own booking, there’s a reason day-of on its own is usually the wrong buy for you, and the coordinator section explains it.

The best wedding planners in Toronto

A Lush Affair

Stunning wedding reception with flowers and elegant table setup in an indoor venue.

Best for: Couples who want sustainability built into the plan

This is Canada’s first and only B-Corp certified event planning company, so eco-conscious choices come built in, not as an add-on. Owner Alusha Domanska learned the trade in event roles at the Distillery District, the Royal Ontario Museum and Berkeley Church. Packages run from full planning down to day-of, for an intimate gathering or a gala for hundreds. Ask to see her sustainability policy.

Art of Celebrations

Best for: Seeing your wedding design before the day

Roxy Zapala’s team shows you the room before it exists, in life-like 3D renderings. It’s also the one planner here with a public price list: full planning and design from $10,000, micro weddings under 25 guests from $3,500, destination from $5,500 plus travel. South Asian, Jewish, same-sex and cultural weddings are all part of the portfolio, and the florals are done in-house. A strong pick if mood boards alone leave you guessing.

Attia Events – Wedding Planning

Best for: Laid-back couples and elopements

No fixed tiers here. You decide how much Rana and Theresa handle and for how long, and they’ll join right after the engagement or in the final crunch. Elopements and adventure weddings are a specialty, and their Dupont Street space covers rentals, a photo studio and a venue. Go here if a ballroom formula leaves you cold.

Champagne & Cedar

Best for: Couples who want straight answers and a very detailed itinerary

Rebecca Holloway started the company after watching a family member’s wedding go wrong, and it shows in her hyper-prepared itineraries. She calls her style tell-you-like-it-is. Her WPIC certified team offers consultations, day-of coordination, partial planning and full planning, plus proposals if the question is still to come. Ask to see a sample itinerary before you book.

Devoted To You Inc.

Best for: Luxury and multicultural weddings in Toronto, Muskoka or abroad

Before weddings, Carmen Luk managed corporate projects, and she holds both WPICC and PMP certifications. Planning her own 2010 wedding at Villa San Michele in Florence launched the business, now 15 years old. Her clients are stylish and multicultural, and she works across the Toronto region, Muskoka and worldwide. She maps out your whole planning process before you sign, so ask to walk through it at the first meeting.

Envision Weddings and Events

Best for: Destination weddings with a straight-talking team

Over 200 weddings across five countries: that’s Kimberly Fu Skubic’s count from nearly 17 years of planning. Her credentials include TICO alongside WPICC and floral design. The team sells complete planning, a signature month-of coordination package and destination planning, delivered with humour and no nonsense. Start with the free 60-minute discovery call.

Mad Bash Group

Best for: Design-forward couples who want a look nobody else has

Lynzie Bremner’s agency, formerly Love by Lynzie, also produces brand launches, and that production background shapes its weddings. Graphic designers, fabricators and florists work within the same network, and the style runs bold and edgy. The team works in Toronto, Muskoka and Prince Edward County. Wedding tiers aren’t published, so ask which levels they take on.

MByrne Events

Best for: DIY couples who need hands for setup and teardown

Doing your own decor? Maria Byrne sells a setup, teardown and cleanup package for exactly that, and rents decor too. Full planning, partial planning and month-of or day-of coordination round out the menu. She launched the company in 2023 with WPIC certification, after years in health care administration. Book a complimentary consultation at the Carlaw Avenue office.

Pretty Plans Wedding and Event Coordination

Best for: Couples planning mostly on their own

Here’s the two-hour session. It’s the best seller: time with the lead coordinator for couples stuck on one decision or unsure where to start. Charlie, the CEO and lead planner, also runs full planning, partial planning with a lead designer, and month-of or day-of coordination that begins six to eight weeks before the wedding. Book the session first, then decide whether you need more.

Rainbow Chan Weddings

Best for: Timeless, fine art design with a calm planner

Rainbow Chan started in Toronto weddings in 2011 as an emcee and day-of coordinator, then earned WPIC certification. As principal planner and head designer, she oversees every wedding her team produces, with a fine art, feminine look. Partial planning is built for couples who arrive midway, beside full planning and month-of coordination. She takes on large banquets and small gatherings, locally or abroad.

SJ Soirée

Best for: Multi-day, cross-cultural celebrations

Several days, sacred rituals, family expectations: Jyoti plans weddings that blend traditions and carries one design concept from the ceremony structure to the lounge styling. She has more than 10 years and 100+ events behind her, in Toronto, Mexico and Italy. Full planning, design and coordination is the core offer. She takes a select number of events each season, so reach out early.

Something Blue Weddings and Events

Best for: Weddings of any religion or tradition

Simona Shafir worked in hotels, a restaurant chain’s events team and a kosher caterer before earning WPIC certification in 2014. From North York, she plans weddings of any religion and size, and also works in the Okanagan Valley. Full planning comes with vendor discounts. Handling your own decor? Her setup and vendor management package covers it.

Your Effortless Event

Best for: North York couples who mainly need day-of help

Elena Knysh puts day-of coordination front and centre beside wedding planning. Call her if your planning is done and you want someone else running the day. The office is on Sheppard Avenue West, handy for the north end. Consultations are free, and she sends planning tips by email.

Most of these planners sell more than one level of help. Picking the wrong level is the costliest mistake you can make.

Wedding planner or wedding coordinator: which do you need in Toronto?

A planner starts early and helps make the decisions. A coordinator arrives late and carries out the decisions you’ve already made.

Full planning. The planner helps choose your venue and vendors, sets the budget, leads the design and runs the day. Offered by A Lush Affair, Art of Celebrations, Champagne & Cedar, Envision, MByrne, Pretty Plans, Rainbow Chan, SJ Soirée and Something Blue.

Partial planning. You’ve booked some vendors. The planner fills the gaps and pulls everything into one plan. Offered by A Lush Affair, Champagne & Cedar, MByrne, Pretty Plans and Rainbow Chan.

Month-of coordination. A month-of wedding coordinator takes over in the final weeks, confirming vendors and building the timeline. Offered by A Lush Affair, Envision, MByrne, Pretty Plans (starting six to eight weeks out), Rainbow Chan and Something Blue.

Day-of coordination. A day-of coordinator runs the wedding itself. Offered by A Lush Affair, Champagne & Cedar, MByrne, Pretty Plans, Something Blue and Your Effortless Event.

Lighter help. Pretty Plans sells its best-selling two-hour session on its own. MByrne and Something Blue offer setup and vendor management packages for DIY weddings.

If you’ve booked everything yourself, choose month-of over pure day-of. Someone has to confirm every vendor in the weeks before, and you won’t want that job.

Once you know the level, the prices start to make sense.

What a wedding planner costs in Toronto

Full-service planning in Toronto runs about $3,500 to $10,000 or more. Day-of or month-of coordination runs about $1,000 to $3,000. Your quote moves with guest count, travel and how much design work you want.

Art of Celebrations is the only planner here with public prices:

  • Full planning and design from $10,000
  • Micro weddings, under 25 guests, from $3,500
  • Destination planning from $5,500 plus travel

Everyone else on the list quotes after a consultation. Ask for the price in writing and the exact hours on site.

Under $1,000 sits below the usual range for coordination. On that budget, ask about a planning session or a setup-only package rather than full day-of coverage.

How to choose

  • Which service level is this quote for? Two quotes only compare if they cover the same level.
  • Who will be at our wedding on the day? Several firms here have teams, so confirm whether the lead planner attends.
  • When does month-of coordination actually start? Pretty Plans starts six to eight weeks out, and others vary.
  • Is decor setup and teardown included? MByrne and Something Blue sell it as a separate package.
  • Have you planned weddings with our traditions? This matters most for multi-day or blended celebrations.
  • Do vendor discounts reach us? Something Blue names vendor discounts as a benefit of full planning.
  • How many weddings do you take on the same weekend? Your planner’s attention on the day depends on it.

FAQ: Toronto wedding planners

How much does a wedding planner cost in Toronto?

Full-service planning in Toronto costs about $3,500 to $10,000 or more, and month-of or day-of coordination about $1,000 to $3,000. Art of Celebrations publishes full planning from $10,000 and micro weddings under 25 guests from $3,500. The other planners on this list quote after a consultation.

What is the difference between a wedding planner and a wedding coordinator?

A planner works with you from early on, often helping you choose the venue and vendors. A coordinator steps in near the end to run the plan you’ve already made. Many Toronto firms sell both as separate packages.

Can I get a day-of wedding coordinator in Toronto for under $1,000?

Under $1,000 is below the usual Toronto range of about $1,000 to $3,000 for day-of or month-of coordination. Nobody on this list publishes a coordination price, so ask each planner directly. On a tight budget, ask about lighter options like Pretty Plans’ two-hour session or a setup-only package.

When should I book a wedding planner?

Book a full planner before you choose your venue, because venue selection is part of full planning. Book a month-of coordinator once your vendors are confirmed, well before the final six to eight weeks when that work starts.

Does my venue coordinator replace a wedding planner?

No. A venue coordinator handles the venue’s side of the day, while a planner or coordinator manages every vendor and your full timeline. If you’re still choosing a venue, browse wedding venues first.

Is a wedding planner worth it?

A planner is worth it if you would otherwise spend your engagement managing vendors, or if your wedding runs over several days, blends traditions or involves travel. If you have planned everything yourself, month-of coordination is the better buy.
