Unforgettable!

We got married in October 2023 and couldn't be happier with our experience working with Fiona as our wedding planner and coordinator. Having a small, intimate wedding was important to us, and the “Our Little Wedding” package was the perfect option. (Also, her team of vendors is fantastic!)

Fiona guided us through the motions of planning a wedding, being as hands on as needed. She listened intently, making sure that even the small details were a reflection of us. Providing us small to-do lists and meeting with us to check-in made the process a lot less overwhelming.

Just a few days before the wedding, one of our vendors had an unforeseen emergency and wasn’t able to make it. Fiona rectified the situation, quickly finding an alternative to ensure that we wouldn’t stress.

We highly recommend Fiona to anyone seeking a wedding planner who is reliable, cares about making your day special and is also a great hype woman.

Thank you, Fiona, for making our wedding day as beautiful, memorable and stress-free as it was!

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish

Fiona was really knowledgeable from day one, steering us in the right direction for vendors and helping us navigate various forms and contacts.

Fiona held our hand every step of the way, setting goals for us on a very manageable schedule and keeping us on track. She was very patient with us when we encountered problems and offered solutions that were tailored to our specific circumstances.

Leading up to the day of, and on the day, Fiona was seemingly everywhere, troubleshooting and coordinating with our venue and vendors to make sure everything was perfect.

And the whole thing went off without a hitch, it was a dream wedding come true. We could not have wished for a better coordinator than Fiona, and wouldn't have even imagined working with someone who was a better fit.

Our wedding day would not have been the same without Fiona!!

What can we say about Fiona! Booking Fiona as our wedding day of coordinator (month of) my husband and I agreed that this was our absolutely FAVOURITE vendor that we had on our wedding day and so so so worth every penny and more. I cannot tell you how much we love fiona and everything she did. Honestly, our wedding day would not have been the same without her and her team. Without Fiona, I cannot begin to imagine what would have happened, haha. From the planning sessions with her and the emails and texts over the year leading up to the wedding, Fiona was so organized and always so helpful with answers to my questions and advice on wedding planning and things to do. She has so much great experience and wisdom to offer. I cannot tell you how organized and professional she is as well. A month before she completely helped me with everything from organizing spreadsheets and vendor information, to contacting vendors and finalizing details, sitting in calls, etc., she really went above and beyond. It was also really helpful that she has her own catalog of items to rent -- definitely make use of that! On the day of the wedding, Fiona was literally the glue holding our wedding day in place. She and her amazing assistants did everything from setting up our venue space, ensuring that vendors arrived on time for set-up, keeping us on schedule, dealing with any emergencies that came up, helping with coordinating the limo, ensuring we had food and water during the busy day -- she literally kept everyone on schedule, everyone on task, and kept checking in with us. She was there to carry my veil and flowers, she had emergency kits and a Mary Poppins bag that had anything and everything you could possibly need. My husband and I could write a book about how great of a wedding planner she is and how great her services are -- but just know if you book her she will deliver 200% of what you expect and more. We are so thankful for her and would absolutely recommend her for any event planning!

An absolute must

Fiona made our dream wedding reality and made the entire experience great. Fiona knew all the questions to ask, had regular check ins/ meetings, helped with tips, sourcing items , fine tuning ideas, managing vendors, creating time lines, and organize all the fine details. Thanks to her our wedding day was ahead of schedule and we could enjoy our day without stressing! If there was anything to say that is essential after going through the wedding experience, it is a wedding planner !! We could not have had the wedding we did , without Fiona

Best money we spent on our wedding

We hired Fiona as our month-of and day-of coordinator for our October 2022 wedding. All brides will agree that there are endless ways to spend your money when wedding planning, and I can confidently say that booking Fiona was the best money we spent. Not only did she keep us on track through wedding planning with her keen organization, experience and expertise in the industry, her presence on our wedding day allowed us to relax and truly enjoy every minute of it. Everything went off without a hitch thanks to her guidance, organization and attentiveness. If you're a budget conscious couple wondering if the extra money is worth it, trust me - the money you spend on your coordinator will allow you to enjoy every other investment of time, energy and money exponentially more. Hire Fiona now, you won't regret it!

Fiona goes above and beyond!

Fiona and her team were an integral part to our day! We first got in contact with Fiona a year and a half before our wedding and she helped with everything from sourcing décor to reading over contracts to contacting vendors. Our wedding day could not have gone any better! Every detail had been thought of and everything ran smoothly. We were able to relax and enjoy the day knowing that everything was being taken care of. We would recommend her to anyone planning their wedding! We couldn’t have done it without her!

Organized, personable, totally worth it!

It was great working with Fiona – there’s no way we could have pulled off our summer camp wedding without her!

In the months leading up to the big day, Fiona helped us with vendor suggestions and gave us monthly to-do lists to keep on top of everything we needed to get done.

In the weeks before our wedding, Fiona organized all our vendor communications so that drop offs, set-up and timing throughout the day was flawless. Her day-of coordination took a huge load off for us, our wedding party and families so we could fully enjoy the day.

Having Fiona’s support helped us focus our time, energy and money on the things that were most important to us for our big day. 10/10 would recommend working with her!

Book Fiona!

She's everything you'd want in a planner! She's kind, professional, and to-the-point. She's organized and definitely reassured me during my stressful moments. I booked Fiona for the month-of planning package and it really put my mind to rest knowing all the loose ends would be tied up by her and not myself so that i can just relax and enjoy. On my wedding day, I think I was the least stressed person and had the absolute best time thanks to Fiona Lau Events. Book her no hesitation!

Professional, organized, and on the ball

It was a pleasure to have Fiona as our month-of wedding planner. Her guiding questions during our consultations helped nail down our day-of schedule and wedding vendors. Throughout the planning process, Fiona was responsive to emails and messages, kept on top of our emails/requests between ourselves and our vendors, and kept us on track. Her experience and coordination with vendors helped make our wedding day seamless.
