About

Last update February 2026

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!

Marielle was the wedding planner for my son’s wedding. We cannot say enough about how much stress she alleviated from the very beginning until and including the big day. She is organized, attentive and genuinely cares about her clients and their wishes. Communication was clear and timely and changes and last minute requests were not a problem. We would recommend her in a heartbeat for any event that you are planning.

We were referred to Marielle and her team by our venue because they love working with her - and now we see why! We hired her for partial planning and she made the whole process so enjoyable and easy. She listened to our dreams and vision and made them come to life within our budget. We enjoyed every minute of our day because she anticipated everything and made the whole day run so smoothly. She was also so lovely and gracious to everyone on the day of - even the most difficult personalities! Thank you for making this whole wedding planning process so wonderful, Marielle!

We hired Marielle for full planning with less than a year and she made the whole experience so amazing! I was overwhelmed with work and needed someone to take my ideas and make them come to life and she did just that. She was so fast to respond to all my emails, found me amazing vendors and I feel like we became friends! She was beyond professional and organized on the day and honestly killed it. BEST investment. Hire Marielle!

We hired Marielle and her team to plan our massive corporate 30th anniversary event. She was knowledgeable and such a delight right from the beginning. We had a tall order - and she delivered above and beyond! Helicopter rides, RMT massages, pond and trailer rides, amazing authentic Argentina fire grilled food, all were expertly provided and made for such an amazing day. I loved working with her so much and was so impressed with her on the day-of that I hired her for my 2026 wedding! I highly recommend Marielle and can't wait to work with her again!

I hired Marielle to take on all the logistics for our donor gala dinner and she executed every detail I asked for and more. She was attentive to my requests, responded promptly to my inquiries and anticipated everything we needed onsite. She was everywhere and managed every detail with care. She completed this contract with excellence and is a true professional. We will definitely be using her services again! Hire her for all your event planning needs- it’s that simple!
