Adding Teena to our team was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. We had done as much work hiring vendors on our own as we could and when we needed extra help to finish planning Teena was a perfect fit. She has many years of experience, knew many of our vendors well, and had good working relationships with them already. We were glad to lean on her expertise, she knew all of the right questions to ask to help us get set up and was able to provide recommendations for other services and vendors when we were struggling to find the right fit. The day of ran smoothly and it helped us to relax knowing that someone else had everything under control so we could focus on enjoying the day.

Thank you Teena!

Teena was a great help leading up to my wedding date and the day of the event went smoothly, she was comfortable and calm-which helped me stay grounded during the wedding. I would definitely recommend her as a wedding planner- Thank you Teena!

Teena is the absolute best and so necessary for a wedding. I am a very organized person who loves planning but I didn’t want to have to worry about anything. I know issues happened leading up to the wedding and she took care of it all. To show the high points:
- one of our vendors got COVID19 (a week from the wedding) and she helped get a replacement
- when there was an issue with a guest and allergies, she knew exactly how to handle it without making it a big deal
- everything was set up so perfectly and exactly like I dreamed without a lot of direction
- she pointed out the key points we needed to know and it was so necessary, we would not have thought of on our own.
- when we had to push our wedding out (twice) due to COVID19, she held prices and was so accommodating to us.

I could keep going on and on! Basically -you don’t have to worry about a thing and the wedding was an absolute DREAM and I don’t say that lightly. I have high expectations and it surpassed!

If anything else bad happened, we were not aware which is amazing. Most importantly helped us have the best day ever without any worry.

Honestly, if you are looking for a wedding coordinator, look no further because Teena is the only way to go!

Saying "yes" to a wedding planner at Elegant Professionals was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. Planning a wedding during COVID was INSANE with last minute venue changes, menu updates, government restrictions a constant moving target there was a lot on our plate. Having Teena there every step of the way, keeping the influx of questions, emails, calls to the absolute bare, necessary minimum allowed us to truly enjoy the day. She took our decor vision and executed it to perfection - I can't even believe we considered doing it ourselves. Investing in a planner from Elegant Professionals is the best money we ever spent when it came to our wedding...highly highly recommend!

Three weeks out from my wedding, I was feeling overwhelmed and didn't want to feel that way on my big day. I decided I would look into a day of coordinator and booked with Teena. This was easily the best decision I made for the wedding. She is so kindhearted and easy to work with. Although we booked last minute, she helped with so many final details and communicating with all the vendors on our behalf. Our wedding day went off beautifully and we felt so at ease thanks to Teena!

Teena was amazing! We were really unsure about hiring a coordinator, but after meeting with Teena and discussing the options and what we needed we went for it. Turned out to be the best decision we made! We felt so relaxed on our day and really able to enjoy ourselves and not worry because Teena had everything under control.

Teena was recommended to us by Hockley Valley Resort for planning and decorating our wedding venue. She delivered quality service and made all of our imaginations into a reality. The decorations blew all of our guests away and her planning for the wedding and organization with all of our other vendors was incredible. Teena definitely works very hard behind the scenes and it makes you feel warm inside knowing that someone is putting their heart into your special day. I highly recommend both of her services, ten out of ten!

Teena and Debbie were both amazing! You will not be dissapointed! I hired them for day of coordination but they ended up doing so much more than that and truly went above and beyond for us. We cannot thank you enough.

We were unfortunately quite disappointed with many aspects of the services that we’re provided while working on our wedding, especially the lack of responsiveness. A big reason we chose to book wedding coordinator services is because of the many services included in our initial agreement, including (but not limited to):

- unlimited emails/calls
- email reminders of any outstanding things to do within weeks of the wedding day approaching
- Organization of the rehearsal and wedding day schedule– detailed itinerary
- follow-up with all vendors 1-2 weeks prior to the wedding date to finalize details
-Set up of ceremony site including; signing table, pen, programs, unity candle etc., (standard items as per bride and groom to be determined)

We were extremely disappointed to notice that leading up to our wedding, it suddenly became very difficult to get in contact with Teena.

I truly thought something serious must have happened as I have never heard of a wedding coordinator going completely unresponsive or missing a month before the wedding, for over 2 weeks, with zero acknowledgment of receiving emails/out of office messages, or anything. We did not get a response to our initial question we had sent until over 20 days later. Our experience contradicts what our initial expectations were upon booking the services, which indicated unlimited emails/calls.

Another item that was disappointing was the coordination of the final wedding itinerary. We had a challenging time obtaining this in what we feel is reasonable timing. Our wedding was on July 29 and I had reached out following up on July 17 (although I thought we’d even have it by then) in which we were told it would be sent shortly. We did not end up actually getting the first draft until 6 days later, on July 23, only 6 days prior to the wedding. This was also after many follow-ups and being told it would be coming earlier, but then not ever actually receiving it on our end. Due to the lack of responsiveness I did most of the final vendor coordination and confirming leading up to the wedding. I have many friends who got married, who also have day of wedding coordinators (not wedding planners) and their experience was entirely different.

In addition to the events leading up to the wedding, we were also disappointed with a couple of things on the day of the wedding.

We had clearly planned out where everything needed to go and gave everything labeled, with pictures and directions. We provided 3 gold pens with a post-it note indicating that 2 should be laid by the guest book, and one on the signing table at the ceremony. When we went to sign our documents in the middle of the ceremony, there was instead a bright blue pen, with my gold pen nowhere in sight (the gold pen was just left in the original box).

Another item that was frustrating was a missing USB with my husband and his mom’s meaningful wedding dance, which is irreplaceable to our family given my husband’s mom’s passing. After the dance portion of the night had began my husband asked for the 2 USBs he had given Teena back. Teena indicated that she only had one, which was provided and then Teena went to look for the other one but never came back with it. My husband had to reach out after the wedding, during our honeymoon to try and obtain this extremely important item. It was disappointing that it would not have been treated with more importance and that the time was not taken on the day of the wedding to look for it (since it was in Teena’s possession) so that we did not need to follow up after, and have my husband’s dad drive from Toronto to Orangeville to retrieve it.

There were a few other things that were frustrating, which Teena was responsible for coordinating through her role working for our actual wedding venue (another surprise after booking these services), such as the extremely wrinkled linens, and our missing sugar flower arrangement on our wedding cake.

After the wedding we did provide this feedback to Teena, in which she did apologize and acknowledge the issues and we did receive a 20% refund, however at the end of the day we did still spend a ton of money on services that ultimately caused way more stress for our wedding than they did benefit. I was very excited initially thinking the services would provide peace of mind and assistance, but instead booking these services lead to a lot of unnecessary stress and uncertainty as a result of the lack of responsiveness, and it lead to us trying to sort things out last minute, which I strongly feel we would not have been left doing had we not have booked Teena’s services. It is difficult and unfortunate knowing we paid a significant amount of money for services that were not aligned with the initial expectations set out in our agreement.

Teena was amazing! I knew I wanted a day of coordinator to help out so I could enjoy my day without having to worry about anything, and she did just that. From the initial phone call, Teena was very straight forward and let me know everything that she would handle for our event, including things I hadn't even thought of. Leading up to the event she continued to be thorough and easy to contact, returning every email in a timely matter and addressing my concerns/questions. On the day of my event, she handled everything and I didn't have to worry about a thing! I highly recommend Teena, you won't regret it!
