Worth the money

I was hesitant to hire a wedding coordinator due the added costs. However, it was the best decision I made so I could have a stress free wedding day.
I did the majority of the pre-planning, but Lynn did attend meetings with the vendors and I before the big day. and took on a few additional task, no questions asked, including delivering our wedding props directly to our house after the event. Having Lynn as our coordinator for our wedding day was awesome and completely relieve all duties from us so we could enjoy the day. I was extremely relaxed for a bride on her wedding day, and I have to say that was largely in part because I had Chemistry Weddings to coordinate everything the day of.

Lynn made the day so much easier!

Lynn was fantastic to work with! She made us feel so much more comfortable leading up to the wedding and was so great the day of handling everything from set up to ensuring our vendors were on task and on schedule. Would absolutely recommend her whether you just need a little help or a lot!

Professional, tailor-made and caring (Indian / mixed wedding)

We had the most amazing wedding day and we can't thank Lynn and her team at Chemistry enough for helping to make it happen! We can't believe how relaxed we felt -- we just knew they had it all taken care of. And it wasn't just the wedding day. They were taking care of us from the moment we first got in touch!

We'd been looking for someone with a tailored approach like yours for several weeks when we found you. We didn't need a complete package wedding planner, but we needed more than just a day-of coordinator -- we had a big team of friends and family to help us execute, but we were missing the additional coordination to help us have a carefree day and take care of a lot of behind-the-scenes work. We also needed some help developing and executing our decor vision, and the decorators we'd consulted with didn't quite get our vision.

From our very first call with Lynn, we just felt so well taken care of and impressed that she were able to offer us the exact mix of services we were looking for. On our first consultation call we all just clicked, and she took time and great care to really listen to exactly what we were looking for to create a scope of work and quote that included just the services we were looking for and needed -- including helping us figure out what some of those were.

Chemistry was also so thoughtful and knowledgeable in their approach to planning an intercultural wedding, we never once worried that it wouldn't go smoothly. We even knew they'd be able to delicately manage all of our parents' and aunties' different priorities! The wedding day went off without a hitch (at least none we were aware of, thankfully :) ) and everything looked absolutely beautiful and just as we'd envisioned.

Thank you so much for listening to us and understanding our vision, for always being on the ball especially when we couldn't be and for just being a fun, energizing team to be around! Just when we'd be getting overwhelmed, you'd swoop in and give us the energy, direction and support we needed to get us back on track. We feel so fortunate to have found you and will definitely recommend you to anyone we know who's planning an event!

Great Planner

Lynn was extremely helpful in assisting organize our vision for the wedding. She assisted with most of our decor choices, which turned out beautifully on our special day. She also helped keep us on track with pre-wedding planning and coordination of vendors. We also utilized her to create our menus and place cards for the reception table. These were beautifully done.

We are appreciative for her efforts and assistance in planning leading up to the wedding and set up of table decor on the day of the wedding.

Thank you for an unforgettable day and experience!

Lynn & Chemistry Weddings are the epitome of professionalism. From the initial stages of planning nearly two years ago, we never had an unanswered question. Any task we needed assistance with (whether we asked or not), Lynn was more than happy to help. Our day was perfect both organizationally and aesthetically which we will remember forever. Lynn pulled our vision together incredibly. We would recommend Chemistry Weddings to everyone!

Best Decision I Made was Hiring Chemistry Events!

I will be the first to admit that my expectations for a wedding planner were above and beyond, and maybe even slightly delusional. I met Lynn at a wedding fair, we instantly clicked. The year and a half working together was by far the most enjoyable part of wedding planning. She was able to take away so much stress by handling details such as putting together my wedding website, designing and creating all the wedding stationary, doing floral arrangements, designing & decorating 3 separate spaces at the venue for the wedding day creating an 18 page 3 day timeline so everyone knew where and when to be all weekend long. Not only did she do all these things, she spent hours upon hours with me brainstorming ideas to ensure that the details that were so important to me were thought out and on the weekend they were executed FLAWLESSLY! She never once thought my ideas were too much and when needed she found solutions when pivoting was needed. My wedding was a three day event, 6 hours away in a different country and that did not limit her abilities at all - she handled all the vendors in Calgary and in Montana, she was so well organized that I felt I did not have to check up on her to make sure she was staying on track. She did not skip a beat. During the wedding weekend, everything was just handled, I was 100% a guest at my own wedding, I fully was able to enjoy the weekend without having to worry if things were getting done, not once! Every time we arrived at a planned portion of the weekend everything was set up beautifully, everyone knew where they needed to be and had the BEST TIME EVER! To top it all off, Lynn is just a joy to be around and work with, she is funny, kind, creative and smart as hell. I asked her to throw me the best wedding weekend in Montana that anyone has been to and she delivered bar none!!!!!

Lynn helped create the day of my dreams

Words can't describe the support that was provided to my by Lynn. She was the calming force throughout all the COVID changes and challenges. She helped me pivot and redefine my wants and needs to ensure I was able to go ahead with my day. I knew I could count on her to make sure the day went smoothly and she was there is help me achieve my vision. I will always look back fondly on that day and I truly enjoyed getting to work with Lynn.

We couldn't imagine anyone else helping us with our wedding day!

After our first meeting, we knew right away that we wanted to work with Lynn.

She stuck with us through several wedding date changes due to the pandemic. And helped us manage the stress of all our plans changing. In addition to having great advice for finding vendors and other wedding details, she's also the nicest person to work with.

We couldn't imagine having anyone else helping us with our wedding day!

Smartest Decision I Have Ever Made Hiring Lynn

We were unsure whether to hire a planner for our wedding but I truly think it was one of the smartest decisions I have EVER made in my life. Lynn is an absolute professional and an amazing human being to boot.

She took care of all the details and logistics of our day so we could enjoy our family and friends rather than being stressed out about all the little things that pop up throughout the day. She created a magical space beyond anything I imagined. Just thinking about it now fills me with warm and happiness.

Thank you Lynn for giving us a day we will always treasure.

Excellent service! Above and beyond! Highly highly recommend!

We worked with Lynn for partial planning/month of coordination of our small wedding in August (the venue did not have a coordinator). It was one of the best decisions made for our wedding!

Communication was exceptional - Lynn was always checking in with us and communicating clearly with the vendors, which greatly helped us to ease the stress along the whole process. She is very detail oriented which gave us so much confidence in her service in making our day run smoothly. Shelby was the on-site coordinator on the day of our wedding - I was initially worried that Lynn won’t be there but they were just a perfect team to work with! We had some last minute changes with the DJ and Shelby was great at communicating the details. We were able to enjoy our special day because of your excellent service!

Thank you so much again!
