Hi Everyone, i recommend you to use Zerlene as your No#1 Wedding Planner she really did an excellent job coordinating our Traditional Ghana & Nigerian Wedding as well as our Church Wedding. She was extra ordinary and I trust her so much. I was planning my whole wedding via Long Distance. We live in Edmonton and the 2 weddings were being planned in Toronto. This woman planned the wedding and work tirelessly to make my beautiful day come true. She treated me like family and i will never forget her hard work and dedication. Zerlene may God bless you so much. She also got to know both our cultures and how she could incorporate her creativity into both weddings. Everything went magical as every bride would want it and she was easy to work with...Please guys choose Zerlene!!!!! We love her!!!

Thank you so much for such a wonderful wedding!!!
Victoria and Babatope - June 22 & 23 2018 Summer Wedding!!

We are so happy with the service we received from Zerlene. She helped make our day truly wonderful, and the process leading up to it infinitely less stressful.
Vendors: Due to her extensive experience, Zerlene was able to recommend numerous vendors (venues, photographers, DJs, invitations, flowers, wedding dresses, etc.) that fit our wishes and budget for the day. Additionally, she was prompt to investigate new vendors we wished to investigate. I was truly impressed by the quality and caliber of professional contacts she had. It was also a huge relief knowing that Zerlene had previous positive experiences with these vendors – I didn’t have to worry about getting any less than expected.
Communication: Zerlene has excellent communication skills. She communicates very effectively and efficiently, and always promptly responded any questions or concerns we had. As an individual with a very busy schedule, I was very thankful to have a planner who was always willing to work around my schedule. While Zerlene is a very well established and busy planner – you will feel like her only client.
The Details: There are a lot of things that go into planning a wedding, many of which I would have never thought of. Thankfully, Zerlene is incredibly organized and experienced, so she ensures that every detail of the big day is taken care of. I honestly can’t stress enough how nice it is to not have to worry – “have I forgotten something”, because I knew Zerlene was on top of it.
Day-of: Our day quite literally went perfectly. I loved Zerlene’s organization day of the wedding because she ran the day from the background so to not disrupt your enjoyment of the celebrations. But she quietly kept everything moving perfectly on schedule. I know my MC’s were so thankful for her. They were able to celebrate and enjoy the night without having to watch the clock every moment as Zerlene would cue them right on time. Zerlene also has excellent taste. I left the table arrangements largely to her judgement, and they turned out beautifully.
Again, our day could not have turned out more perfectly, and the process was infinitely less stressful due to Zerlene’s expertise. I can’t recommend her enough!

In February 2018, roughly 8 months out from my big day, I realized that I needed help planning my big wedding. I went on Google, not really knowing what or who I was looking for, and came across Impresario Event's webpage. After browsing the website for a few minutes, I knew Zerlene Mekdeci was the planner for me!

Zerlene made the planning process so easy for me. She has a wealth of connections with many different vendors which made the dreadful process of finding and selecting vendors, easy and enjoyable for me, the bride! Zerlene has so many great ideas and tips that only someone with her knowledge and experience would know.

Zerlene was always available for impromptu telephone calls and via email. Her turnaround time on planning documents and questions was within 24-48 hours OR LESS, which is amazing seeing as she coordinates multiple weddings a year. I always felt comfortable reaching out to Zerlene for any question I deemed as "silly" and sometimes just to bounce ideas off of her.

On the day of the wedding while I was getting ready, I didn't have to worry about the church set-up because I knew Zerlene was taking care of it. At the hall, Zerlene was on the ball. She kept us, our parents and bridal party in line for the receiving line. Zerlene got us food off of our anti-pasto bar, coordinated with the MC and DJ to ensure our itinerary kept on track, worked with the kitchen staff, and so much more! She checked in with us to make sure we were okay. It was an amazing feeling to know that we had someone else on our team that day.

Thank you for everything Zerlene. Our guests will be talking about our wedding for years to come!

Highly recommended!!

Zerlene helped us put together our wedding with full planning and day-of coordination. Zerlene was professional and organized and very responsive to my emails. I loved having someone with me every step of the way, and knowing that my wedding day was in the hands of someone else and I could just enjoy! There were some vendors that we were picky about and ended up finding on our own, but the vendors we did use by Zerlene's recommendation were absolutely fantastic! If you are looking for a second hand person to help you with your day, Zerlene will certainly be there for you!
