Reviews for Lustre Events by Melissa & Morgan
Lustre helped us plan an amazing wedding
Dream Team
The number of questions you end up having and details that go into a wedding our endless. I don't know where we'd be or how our wedding could have been pulled off without Lustre Events. It was absolutely flawless, despite severe weather thunderstorms, thanks to this dream team. Thank you Melissa & Morgan!!!
Made Our Personalized Wedding Dreams Come True!
Initially, all we had was a venue and a date, but they helped us navigate through vendors with their guidance and expertise. When issues arose - which is bound to happen, especially during a pandemic! - they kept calm and reassured us that all would be well. Their experience in all sorts of scenarios pre- and post-pandemic was apparent as they kept a steady eye on our special day. Even when our anxiety levels rose, and obstacles came up - even on the wedding day! - Melissa and Morgan kept calm and ensured we had the most beautiful wedding.
Their specialty is also making sure wedding dreams come true, and they delivered on that! In the beginning, it was hard for us to picture what our wedding would be like. After filling out their detailed questionnaire, Melissa and Morgan put together a design plan for us that immediately blew us away. They had figured out our perfect wedding before we even knew it ourselves! They created a colourful, garden wedding that reflected our personalities, complete with a DeLorean cocktail hour surprise for all our guests (BTFF is the bride's favourite movie!)!
They pride themselves for making memorable experiences for the bride, groom and all wedding guests. It's now been 3 weeks and we are still getting compliments from everyone about how wonderful and memorable our wedding was! We owe it all to Melissa and Morgan at Lustre Events! We'd highly recommend them to anyone!
Honestly run, don’t walk! You NEED to hire Lustre Events!!
They also coordinated the day of wedding absolutely perfectly, and managed all the vendors so we were able to be fully present on our day.
We still get rave reviews from our guests about how welcoming, supportive and accommodating Morgan and Melissa were.
Needless to say, hiring morgan and Melissa was by far the best decision and hands down the best wedding related expense.
After our big day, we were both heart broken to have had to say goodbye but we are so grateful for the memories of the prefect wedding day they helped us create!
Wedding Dream Team!!!!
M+M have a ton of experience and are very well connected. One of the best aspects of working with them was that they really know the industry and have so many connections to amazing vendors. Whenever we needed something, they listened to what we wanted and then gave us a list of great options! For example, we wanted a small venue for an intimate dinner in the evening - they gave us a list of 10 options, all of which they were familiar with and had detailed information about, having worked at those locations before. This “inside info” really helped us in deciding what was right for us. We needed a florist - they connected us with the most gifted person, who not only made spectacular floral decor, but at a very reasonable price. Having worked with this florist before, M+M were able to make sure that what she did for us fit in with the overall vision of the wedding and what we wanted. And WOW! People are still talking about our flowers. :)
Their working style really suited us. They got to know us, and listened to us to understand what we wanted for our special day. They truly cared about making sure our wedding reflected our unique style and who we were. The customization was awesome! This is not a cookie cutter service – they go the extra mile to make sure your wedding is about you and what you want it to be. They were terrific at incorporating elements of our two cultures in a way that was respectful and meaningful to us. There were so many amazing details that truly elevated our event and made it unique and special.
M+M came up with so many fantastic details to make our day special - things we would have never come up with on our own that, looking back, made our day memorable. They were never "pushy" or overbearing. In every interaction, I got the sense they truly wanted to help us achieve what *we* wanted for our wedding. It was the perfect combination of providing amazing and creative advice and suggestions, while always making sure we were comfortable and happy with how things were going. And they did everything within our set budget.
The pictures below of our dinner venue really highlight their skills. Guys, this was a TOTALLY EMPTY ROOM - like, 4 walls and nothing else - before M+M transformed it into a magical Indo-Canadian wedding wonderland!
Not only are they tremendously creative, they are practical and professional. They ticked all the boxes - got back to us promptly, were responsive to our requests, were extremely well organized, always professional and polite. They understand how an event should “flow”, and how your guests will experience your day. The pace and organization of the entire day was magic for us and for all of our family and friends.
The day of the wedding went off without a hitch! They made sure every detail was perfect, and that everything went exactly according to plan. We could actually enjoy our wedding day as they took all the stress out of it!
You cannot go wrong with M+M!!!
The very best husband-and-wife planning team: warm, experienced, capable
We chose the partial package, but if you want a truly stress-free and hands-off planning experience (and if your budget allows for it), I'd recommend the full package. Melissa and Morgan have excellent taste and are very intuitive about understanding what you want, even when you aren't sure yourself –– we threw a haphazard Pinterest board and several long and progressively more panicked emails at them, yet they somehow knew when to let our preference prevail, and when to tell us to go with the orange bistro napkins instead. When presented with non-traditional ideas or plans to DIY, they were not only receptive but enthusiastic.
I was very budget-conscious in the planning, and we decided early on that decor was one of our lowest priorities. (I no doubt tested their patience several times with all my 'inspired' ideas to cut costs.) Still, Melissa and Morgan had the experience, creativity, and aesthetic knowhow to construct a beautiful, cohesive theme even given those limits. And don't just take my (admittedly biased) word for it: one staff person who worked at the venue, which hosts a lot of weddings, said that ours was the nicest they had ever seen the place look.
In terms of vendors, we ended up choosing Melissa and Morgan's recommendations in almost every single case. They were upfront about each (e.g. 'this person is a great team player, but will take a long time to get back to you'). When we weren't sure about their recommendation, they obliged without hesitation when we asked for price quotes from alternative vendors (and in this instance, we ended up going with the original vendor they'd recommended anyway). One bonus of using planners with good vendor relationships is that when anything unexpected occurs, they're more likely to be flexible: for e.g., I ordered a flower crown that ended up looking comically big on my head, but because Melissa and Morgan were on such friendly terms with our florist, she was very kind about re-making it on the day.
Wedding planning will inevitably come with last-minute roadblocks, so having planners who are calm and capable in the face of stress is important. Our wedding was on Toronto Island so we'd hired a ferry to transport our guests; with less than a week to go, the boat captain abruptly stopped answering all calls and emails. This is how far Melissa and Morgan went to help us: they physically WENT TO THE BOAT DOCK TO LOOK FOR THE CAPTAIN and ask for his whereabouts. No matter how thoroughly you interview your planners or think you can anticipate your needs, there will be an unexpected problem to solve. 'Locating a missing boat captain' was one of those problems. Being able to hand that off to people we trusted, especially with days to go before the wedding, was an enormous weight off our backs.
One last (and often overlooked!) reason to hire capable planners is to free yourself to have fun on your actual wedding day. There is no possible way I could've enjoyed myself the way I did if I'd had to sort out those last minute logistical, technical, and interpersonal snafus. When the DJ messed up our mics and recessional music, Melissa had called the DJ company to register a complaint before I even had a chance to get upset –– I didn't have to think about it because she did so for me. When one of our drunk guests became obnoxious and difficult, Melissa and Morgan dealt with them (and even had the magnanimity to never mention it to us). They handled everything with not just professionalism, but kindness too.
One word about their style: it's very warm, non-confrontational, and prioritises thoroughness over speed. This was great for me, because I work in a similar way. If you're someone who needs a pushy or business-like planner, someone to whip you into shape and tell you 'no' very explicitly, then their style may not be the right fit for you. But if you're looking for something more personal, then you couldn't do better than these two. They come with my highest recommendation.
Fairygod Parents for Wedding Planning
The planning process was just amazing. Although responses may be a bit slow it is because they will try to get everything sorted out with the vendors before they get back to you. So do not fret. They handled all communication with vendors, which lifted the stress from our busy schedule. Never once did I felt the pressure to pick some design ideas that they proposed. I absolutely love our final meeting where we go over the rundown of the day of the wedding. They took into our request to change some items or events.
I’ve been to several weddings where the morning of the wedding is usually chaos and stressful. However, on the morning of my wedding, I was so relaxed because I knew M+M had handled everything so well. I was able to enjoy the process of getting ready with my girls while munching on scones and sandwiches.
Our wedding was truly a dream come true from the décor to layout. I had family and friends come up to me after the wedding praising the work of art that M+M has done. Not to mention, they raved on how sweet M+M were.
To anyone planning their wedding, this duo is the fairy godparents to wedding planning and you will not regret having them by your side.
A flower garden dream wedding
They made my dreams come true!
Our design and vision were perfectly executed by M + M. It was like they downloaded everything I wanted/envisioned from my brain to theirs. They knew what decisions to make, and what I wanted, without needing very much input from my end, which worked perfectly for me :)
They were so warm and professional to work with. Personally, I don't know how they put up with having to work with me, because I could be a little particular at times to say the least.
The month of, week of and day of were all especially flawlessly executed by them. It was perfect, because when it came down to "crunch" time, everyone was asking me if I needed help with anything etc., I had nothing to do, and that was perfect. It gave me time to host our guests in from out of town, and let me enjoy the lead up to the wedding.
Thank you SO much, from Fili and I. We can't thank you enough for our beautiful wedding, and all of your amazing work! xoxo M
