About
I’ve spent over 16 years planning unforgettable events across Canada — everything from dreamy, intimate weddings to high-energy corporate galas, celebrity speaking tours, and company retreats that spark fresh inspiration. No two events are ever the same, and that’s exactly what I love about this work!
As a four-time Toronto Choice Award Winner (an honour given to the top 5% of event professionals with the highest client ratings), I’m proud to be recognized for my creativity, attention to detail, and unique ability for turning big visions into beautiful realities.
Over the years, I’ve built strong relationships with some of the best vendors and partners in the industry, allowing me to offer clients unparalleled quality and service. At the core of my work is a genuine passion for creating spaces where people can connect, celebrate, and make lasting memories.
Let's start planning something extraordinary together!

My company hired Marielle to plan our corporate "day away" for teambuilding and leadership development. From the beginning, we could tell she was extremely organized and experienced! She project-managed all the components of the day and met with our planning committee with efficiency and care. She delivered an amazingly thoughtful, fun and luxurious-feeling day on a budget. We have already retained her services for our next corporate retreat in Muskoka. Look no further for your event planner! We will be hiring Marielle for many projects to come!

On the day of the wedding, she was honestly my calm in everything going on. She was on top of every detail and was beyond professional and warm. Worth every penny and more!! Thank you so much Marielle!!

From the very beginning, Marielle was incredibly detailed, organized, calm, and always several steps ahead. She knew exactly what needed to happen and when, and guided us through the entire planning process without ever making us feel rushed or like we were making decisions under pressure. Somehow, she kept everything moving while always making us feel like we had the time and space to think things through and make choices that were right for us.
Her communication was exceptional. She responded quickly to every question, change, new idea, and even those last-minute thoughts that probably came to us much later than they should have! Nothing ever seemed to faze her. She was consistently warm, friendly, outgoing, reassuring, and professional and, most importantly, she REALLY knows her stuff.
Her vendor connections and knowledge of the industry were also invaluable. She ran everything like the seasoned professional she is, and we had complete confidence in her throughout the entire process. She had great recommendations, eye for detail and the big picture. It got to a point where my fiancé and I would have said "Marielle you can decide because we have absolute trust in your vision". She's phenomenal!
On the wedding day itself, Marielle was an absolute superstar. There were inevitably little challenges and last-minute things that needed to be dealt with, but she handled everything seamlessly. In fact, one of the greatest compliments we can give her is that most of the time we didn't even KNOW there was something to troubleshoot. She simply took care of it. We were able to be completely present, enjoy our day, and trust that everything behind the scenes was in incredibly capable hands.
Beyond being stellar at her job, Marielle is simply a wonderful person to have beside you during such an important time in your life. She made us feel supported, looked after, and genuinely cared for from beginning to end.
We would recommend Marielle without hesitation to absolutely anyone planning a wedding. If you're looking to work with one of the very best in the business, you've found her. She is it. 10/10 doesn't even feel like enough. Thank you, Marielle, for everything you did to make our wedding so incredible!
