Impresario Events believes that every wedding is a unique reflection of the couple and that their role is in partnership with them as an advisor, guide, and trusted friend. It is their goal to ensure that you feel stress-free throughout this special time in your life, especially as many future newlyweds are already dealing with other daily life happenings and time is precious.

Incredible
When I first started planning my wedding nearly a year and a half ago, I was a bit on the fence about hiring a wedding planner. Eventually, I came around to the idea when I realized how much work it would be and so I interviewed approximately 10-12 wedding planners in the GTA, and I had by far the best feeling about Zerlene. Now that my wedding is over, I would say that Zerlene was easily the single best investment we made in our wedding, and I attribute the success of our wedding entirely to her. From the start, Zerlene was incredibly organized and responsive. She remained on top of all the details, constantly reminding us about deadlines and decisions and did not let things slip through the cracks. Zerlene also had amazing vendor recommendations, attended all of our meetings and had questions for the vendors that I wouldn't have even thought to ask.
Zerlene went above and beyond. Our wedding was not an easy one - it was a large wedding (nearly 200 people), and we had a lot of individual guest accommodations and specific requests for various vendors. She was able to execute on all of it and always remained incredibly calm. Even in the face of a couple of difficult vendors that we were dealing with, Zerlene was on top of it - she reached out to them immediately and frequently, and she advocated for us to ensure that we got what we wanted.
If you are at all on the fence about hiring a wedding planner (or can't decide which you want to hire), you will absolutely not go wrong with Zerlene. She was the best decision we made, and I could not be happier with how our wedding turned out. Thanks to Zerlene, it will truly be remembered as the happiest day of my life.

Amazing Multicultural Wedding
Zerlene from Impresario Events was invaluable in planning our multi-day, multi-ceremony wedding. The bride and I hired Zerlene for full service wedding planning for a wedding in Toronto, and we live in the US. Given that we were remote, we could not have planned such an amazing wedding without her. She was very flexible working with us, gave us tons of great advice, solved problems for us, was extremely responsive at all hours of the day, and made wedding planning fun.

Amazing co-ordinator!
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Zerlene as our day-of-coordinator. She really knows her stuff and made our wedding day run extremely smoothly.
From the moment we met, you could just tell she was on it. She gave us detailed forms for us to fill out, which helped us think through our planning process. She also recommended time frames for each portion of the day, which helped us plan the logistics.
On the day of our wedding, I didn't even notice any issues since Zerlene solved them immediately. Thank you Zerlene!

Our family's second time with Impresario
We were very fortunate to have the help of the team at Impresario. Zerlene was organized throughout the entire prep process and quick to respond to concerns and adjustments. On the day of our wedding, Zoya was on top of all the behind-the-scenes details. Together, they gave us peace of mind and took on many of the responsibilities so that we could more fully enjoy our wedding day. We found out about Impresario through a family referral, and we would be happy to recommend this team ourselves.

The BEST decision we made!
Working with Zerlene and her team was the absolute best decision we made. We hired Impresario for "Day-Of" co-ordinator, 1 month to our wedding date when realized how crazy it would be to try and manage our wedding ourselves, but in all honesty if I could do it all again, I would have hired Zerlene much earlier now knowing the invaluable experience she has.
Zerlene was in touch constantly through the last 4 weeks, organizing zoom meetings and all of the details we had put together from before. She worked with all of our vendors and made sure that everything was running smoothly.
We had the pleasure of having her assistant Zoya for our rehearsal and wedding day, and it was such a pleasure to work with her as well! Zoya ensured that not a single detail was missed, and in fact, the vision we had was so beautifully brought to life, we were pleasantly surprised beyond our imagination. The day ran so smoothly, effortlessly, and gave us a peace of mind that you cannot put a price on!
We had the most beautiful wedding day and we cannot thank Zerlene and her amazing team enough for helping to make our day perfect.
With much gratitude,
Sabrina & Alber Altun

Would go with Zerlene again even if I were to do it all over again
My husband and I want to thank Zerlene from the bottom of our hearts for her incredible work, and for the magical day she's helped create for us.
She's incredibly experienced and knowledgeable. Her expertise was invaluable in choosing the wedding vendors from among the thousands out there, and she truly helped us select the best ones. And on the day of the wedding, she and her assistant were heroes. They were meticulous, performing all the tasks I requested, as well as those I hadn't considered but were crucial. They probably fixed all the issues I'm still unaware of, ensuring everything ran smoothly. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out!
One of many things that I really appreciated with her was how she understood my budget limit, and how she suggested vendors who are very skilled and affordable at the same time. The vendors that Zerlene suggested had prices that were unmatched with other vendors. Plus the quality of their work was really good that it did not feel at all like it was a compromise between price and quality.
Her professionalism and calm demeanor throughout the planning process made it such a pleasure to work with her. She handled every challenge with grace and ease, making it seem effortless. We are so grateful to have had her by our side.

Zerlene was really great to work with.
We hired Zerlene from Impresario for Wedding Day Coordination for our wedding which took place in April. Zerlene helped to coordinate our rehearsal, ceremony and reception. She was kind enough to recommend the remaining vendors we needed to secure before our wedding day, which went beyond our expectations. We were very happy with the vendors we booked thanks to her referrals.
Prior to hiring Zerlene, we had initially encountered difficulties with another wedding planner, which left us feeling more stressed and behind schedule in terms of having certain vendors booked for our big day. Despite the challenges we faced, Zerlene went above and beyond by using her strong relationships with vendors to ensure that each of them were ready for our wedding.
We were very impressed with Zerlene's reliability, kindness and experience. Throughout the planning process she was very prompt with her responses. When we encountered a stressful situation close to the wedding, she was very proactive and empathetic. We felt reassured despite the uncertainty of the situation. Ultimately, we were able to come to a resolution.
We would highly recommend Zerlene from Impresario Events to anyone who is looking to plan for their wedding. Her experience, professionalism and kindness really stood out and she helped ensure that our wedding day was a success!

Exceptional Wedding Day Coordination by Zerlene
My husband and I were absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service provided by Zerlene as our wedding day coordinator. From the initial consultation to the final moments of our reception, Zerlene's professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for our special day were evident.
Zerlene's communication skills were impeccable. She was always prompt in responding to our emails and calls, and she made sure to keep us updated on every aspect of the planning process. Her organizational skills were also top-notch. She created a detailed timeline for the day with us via zoom live and up kept the document until we finalized it. This schedule helped everything run smoothly and ensured that all of our vendors were on the same page.
On the day of the wedding, Zerlene was a true lifesaver. She handled everything with grace and ease, from coordinating the arrival of the vendors to making sure that all of our guests were comfortable. She even went above and beyond by helping us and our wedding party get food from our wedding venue to ensure we were fed before taking photos, this was extra, and it saved all of us from being hangry.
Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better wedding day coordinator than Zerlene. She truly made our day stress-free and memorable, and we would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a coordinator who is professional, organized, and genuinely cares about making your day perfect. Thank you, Zerlene, for everything! You are a true MVP!
