Devoted To You

Our wedding day was the most smooth, organized and perfect day. This is all thanks to Carmen and her wedding planning expertise that guided us the entire way. When we first met with Carmen exploring the idea of a wedding planner I felt immediately she was someone with good energy and experience that I wanted by us throughout our wedding planning journey.
On the wedding day both the bride and grooms side went smoothly while getting ready, and the ceremony/reception at the venue was executed perfectly according to plan. During our bride and groom photos it started to rain… and guess who came out running with a picture-worthy classic clear umbrella…Carmen! The Devoted to You team was amazing and I highly recommend working with Carmen for your wedding planning needs!! Thank you Carmen for making our special day happen beautifully.

There are not enough words to show how thankful I am to Carmen and her team. We booked Carmen for a month in coordinator and it was the best decision I could have ever made! Prior to booking Carmen I felt as though I already had everything in place. All my vendors were already booked, and we were just working through the fine details of the schedule. Though when she came in, she turned my world upside down and it was 100% for the better. There were so many wedding detail nuisances that I did not consider and this is where her team absolutely shined. Carmen coordinated with all my vendors so that everything was good to go for the wedding day. She was the point of contact for a special surprise for the groom and the guests that went off without a hitch and I couldn't have been more pleased. She held meetings with my videographer and photographer as well as my wedding party to ensure everyone was on the same page. And created a very detailed and thoughtfully scheduled itinerary to ensure the day ran smoothly. Just to name a few of the many things she did for us. Though the one thing that truly validated my decision in book ling Carmen was how I felt on my wedding day! I was able to truly enjoy the day with my husband. Knowing that I had a team that knew the schedule and knew what needed to be done, took a big load off my shoulders. This allowed the both of us to be present and really enjoy our day and you cannot put a price on that! Thank you, Carmen, and your devotedtoyou team. We are forever grateful! 10/10 highly recommend.

Carmen planned our recent wedding at Casa loma and working with her was a dream. She was patient, kind, hardworking and on top of everything. She was able to think of details that we would've missed if we planned the wedding ourselves. It is obvious that Carmen has tons of expertise as a wedding planner. She is also very pleasant to work with and a very generous gift giver! Leading up to the big day, Carmen met with us weekly and made sure all vendors were communicated with and kept in the loop. All last minute surprises and emergencies were handled smoothly by Carmen. Our wedding day went more smoothly than we ever could've imagined and our grand vision was perfectly executed. Thank you again Carmen for everything, we couldn't have done it without you!!!

We had Devoted to You as our month of coordination, and Carmen was absolutely fantastic! She came in and took charge, handling all the final vendor communication, organizing the stationery, and coordinating everything on our big day. I recommend her to any couple like us who planned most of the wedding ourselves but needed a pro to make sure things ran smoothly. Our wedding was an afternoon brunch that wrapped up by 3 pm because the venue had another booking right after. But thanks to Carmen, we were able to squeeze in some extra photos before we had to leave as Carmen helped us pack all of our stuff in advance! She even made sure I didn't go hungry or thirsty amidst the craziness of the day. I seriously can't thank her enough and can't even imagine how things would've turned out without her! Highly recommend her to any couple out there!

Joanna M. of Devoted to You Inc. was the amazing planner who managed an elegant dinner party for my husband’s family. I reside in the US and was very nervous about planning this event long distance.
I do not have enough superlatives to describe my experience of working with Joanna. She treated my intimate dinner for 40 with the same level of professionalism and enthusiasm for events 5 times the size.
Her venue selection was lovely, and the vendors were exactly what I requested. Her attention to detail and recommendations were spot on. She was readily available and responded in a timely fashion. It was just a pleasure working with her.
Because I had to travel to Toronto for the party, she secured reservations at a trendy cocktail bar/restaurant, truly above and beyond her responsibilities as a planner.
I highly recommend without reservation Joanna for your next event!
