Sorry for the long review.. but I had such a hard time writing my review for the Whim Team because I wanted to make sure I adequately captured how AMAZING they truly are. From the very beginning with their questionnaire, I knew that hiring the Whimlets was the most perfect fit for us. I had the pleasure of working with Alisha, Sylwia and Michelle.

Alisha, our month-of coordinator... such an incredible and inspiring human being. Leading up to our wedding day, Alisha provided some amazing recommendations for vendors (and they were all fantastic), helped us create the perfect timeline and ensured everything was going according to plan with deadlines, payments, and everything we never even thought to think of. She was always quick to respond to my e-mails and text messages. Every single time I had a conversation with Alisha, I felt a sense of calm and relief wash over me. This is the effect she had on me as a bride a month before her wedding day. Having Alisha to coordinate the details of our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Nothing would have come together the way it did without her supreme planning and organizational skills and just overall knowledge, experience and passion for what she does.

We also had Sylwia and Michelle of Events by Whim with us on our Hindu wedding day and our reception. These two are forces to be reckoned with; they handled EVERYTHING. If anything went wrong, I had no idea because these girls took care of all the details, kept everything on time and in order and kept me calm. I knew we were in good hands and it made the world of difference - I actually got to enjoy the two most important days of my life. From helping me to bustle the train on my dress (thanks Michelle!), to handling guests that showed up without RSVPing, we cannot thank this team enough. My family members had such great things to say about Michelle and Sylwia as they were so professional and efficient. This team will always have a special place in our hearts.

In addition, Michelle of RSVP by Whim created our wedding invitation suites and all of the stationary at both our Hindu wedding and reception. She truly captured our Beauty and the Beast theme in the most perfect and elegant way. She listened to everything I wanted and used her creativity to design something even better than I could have imagined. The signage, the table numbers and everything were beautiful and tasteful. Even with my last minute requests, everything turned out perfectly. We especially love the personalized monogram she created for us; something we can always have as our symbol.

If you are planning a wedding, or any event for that matter, please please take my advice and reach out to Whim Event Coordination & Design.. You will not regret it.

Alisha was AMAZING!

It was only 4 month between our engagements to the big day. We knew we needed professional help if we are going to make it work.

My wife and I retained Alisha to do full wedding planning for us. We knew she was the perfect fit when she busted out a 150-line checklist and a full stack of excel sheets. It may sound daunting, but it certainly speaks for her level of organization. And don’t worry, she took care of most of the paperwork 
She was super patient and took us visiting multiple venues often on evening and weekends. Super responsible with speedy email replies and never complained about our “harassment” calls in late evenings and always accommodated our last minute requests.

Alisha was a great communicator as well, she was able to grasp our vision and communicate effectively to the vendors. Everything turned out more perfectly than we even imagined. Alisha was also great at helping us saving money. Through her extensive network in the wedding industry, we found the best vendors for the job at reasonable prices, not to mention some nifty tricks she taught us that made our dollar stretch the extra mile.

And if you want a stress free wedding day, Alisha is your girl! She organized the timetable effectively, coordinated with all the vendors, does all the communication/negotiations behind the scene, guided our guests and she took care of issues before we even recognize it existed. She has great control over the flow of the event and handled even the small details beautifully. It was truly stress free to the point that I had nothing to do as the groom other than enjoying myself.

Highly recommended!

I cannot thank Alisha and Michelle enough for their amazing work on our wedding day. My husband and I decided to have our wedding in Toronto while residing in Ottawa. We struggled to find a decorator that wouldn’t view us as a nuisance just because we lived in another city. Whim Events came to the rescue! From the moment we reached out to them, Alisha and Michelle scheduled Skype meetings and reassured us that distance was no problem for them. Alisha always asked me “What do you envision,” from the moment we started speaking. They made my vision of a soft, romantic wedding come to life in ways I never thought possible. The ongoing communication they had with me meant more than anything, they were always availble whenever I had questions.

They were so patient, organised, creative and were focused on making my wedding one of a kind (not to mention they are so easy to get along with and have beautiful personalities!) There were so many last minute requests I made to both of them but they never made me feel like I was a nuisance, instead they were encouraging and positive that our big day would go smoothly. Their attention to the bride and groom’s needs is really what sets them apart from everyone else.

The day of the wedding I received so many compliments from guests on our stage and table décor, and continue to receive compliments weeks after our wedding day! They really made my vision of a romantic theme come to life. There was such an overwhelming amount of love for the décor and Alisha and Michelle along with their team made this day the most special day of our lives. I truly believe there couldn’t have been a better vendor to suit our aspirations for our big day. I never saw my hall until the moment I walked in with my husband, and it couldn’t have been more beautiful. Thank you both for everything your company represents and I will/have constantly recommended Whim Events to future bride friends.

When it came to planning our wedding, our main criteria was that people had fun, food was delicious and the wedding looked beautiful. Little did we know that to accomplish these seemingly simple tasks, there were 5 bajillion tasks to coordinate and months of planning involved. Not only did we have 2 religious ceremonies to coordinate, but we also had 2 completely different cultures and almost 400 people to accommodate.

We are so grateful to the Whimlets for helping us keep our head on our shoulders. They were the reason we were able to enjoy the best day of our lives and the reason why our wedding day went so smoothly. They helped ease us into the whole process of wedding planning by organizing, coordinating and designing a day we truly cherished. Step by step, they were able to guide us and direct us in what needed to be done and the timelines that needed to be followed. They were patient with all our indecisiveness and helped us find the best solutions for our vision and our budget. It really helped that they have connections to amazing vendors at the palm of their hands, they did not disappoint and really catered to our needs.

Not only is the Whim team extremely organized and detail-oriented, they also know how to deal with any emergencies. It was only after the wedding did my husband and I find out that some unforeseen things had to be dealt with on the day of the wedding, but they were able to make everything run flawlessly, without anyone even noticing.

To say the least, it was a magical day that we’ll never forget – we even had many of our family and friends telling us they had the best time – and we owe it all to Whim. Thank you for making our wedding beyond anything we ever expected and for being part of this special celebration! We truly couldn’t have done it without you!

First of all I would like to encourage anyone who has recently got engaged or is planning a wedding to IMMEDIATELY contact Alisha. I say immediately as her services are way beyond our expectations. She not only helped create our dream wedding but she helped pair us with the most amazing vendors to work with. We decided to go with the full planning as my wife and I have very busy careers and could not manage planning on our own. Our wedding was a little over a week ago and I can tell you both of our families and friends have not stopped talking about how this was the most amazing and organized wedding they have ever attended. Everything turned out perfect (including the weather as it was supposed to rain) and the happiest day of my life would not have been possible without Alisha! We pretty much took almost every recommendation she gave and used vendors she recommended and I can say EVERYONE was amazing!! Like I said at the beginning make sure you contact her immediately as I know she is worth every penny and she may not be available for your dream day if you wait too long! I also know I will be using her again in the future!!

We had a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a tented reception at Markham Museum with about 250 guests. I have more videos than pictures but if you want to see anything online feel free to check our hashtag #robzgotherwish

Happy wedding planning and Congrats!!

Looking for a wedding planner is a tough process, especially when planning a South Asian wedding - you need to click with that particular individual on a personal level AND they have to get along with your family who are heavily involved your wedding plans. Tough job. Alisha and her team came to us with a glowing recommendation from my husband's cousin, who had used her team a few years ago. Looking through her website, I could tell we would get along famously! I mean, she loves Game of Thrones...Need I say more? Meeting Alisha and talking to her about what our expectations were and how we envisioned our wedding day, she just knew. It was a done deal for us. We used her team for partial planning and they meshed so well with our family in the process. From designing our invitations to managing the reception (which apparently had a lot of hiccups that we had no idea about because it was so seamless!), we never regretted our decision to pick Whim. We would honestly recommend Alisha and her team for any wedding! You won't regret it!

We had the pleasure of working with Ilina from Events by Whim as our month of/day of wedding co-ordinator! Honestly couldn't rate the service provided high enough and if you are looking for a wedding planner - definitely check these guys out!

Planning a wedding in Canada whilst residing in the UK wasn't easy. In the month leading up to our wedding, we felt quite overwhelmed with the amount of things that would require consideration - particularly with time-management on the day. I randomly stumbled across Events by Whim after a long search and chatting to multiple vendors in this area. From the moment of filling out their initial online questionnaire, we were so impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail.

Ilina herself was incredibly accommodating in attending our final venue meeting as well as the rehearsal dinner on two separate occasions which we all super appreciated. She highlighted important points that we had missed and offered invaluable advice + solutions. She worked well with all our other vendors prior to and on the day. Despite certain events getting delayed, overall everything ended up running to time thanks to her and Sylwia on the day. Most importantly, we got to enjoy our day stress-free! Despite initially being quite apprehensive about getting a planner/co-ordinator we were so so glad we did and lucky that they had availability for us at such short notice because I couldn't have imagined a better fit!

We came to Whim knowing that we wanted to throw a multi-day Canadian/West-Indian wedding in Toronto… but we didn’t know where to start. We immediately hit it off with Alisha! She really listened and understood our vision. We decided to go with the full planning package and were so happy we did. Even though we are located in Vancouver and the wedding was going to happen in Toronto, Alisha made wedding planning feel easy. She was always super responsive, organized, professional and up-beat. Planning was structured and decisions were handled one at a time so we never felt overwhelmed. By the end of the wedding she felt more like family than a vendor. We truly can’t recommend Whim more highly. Thank you Alisha!

I had Michelle from Events by Whim design me my perfect wedding card. She worked with my impossible mish-mash of requests, in a close to impossible time frame and gave me the most beautiful card I could have ever asked for... all while I was out of town (in Ottawa)!

Michelle was unbelievable easy to work with. She is a great communicator, and made the whole design process a breeze. Sometimes it is hard to express exactly what you want, yet somehow Michelle knew exactly what I was talking about and was able to design it seamlessly. Michelle took all the idea's I had, which were LITERALLY ALL OVER THE PLACE, and managed to skillfully use her creative talents to make sure my invitations actually felt like mine!

When I received my cards, I was completely blown away! They were well designed, well printed and ultimately a quality product. On top of that they were already bundled together (OMG, thank you Michelle for doing that).. saving me so much time with the mailing process!

Since sending them out, I have received so much positive feedback on them and I am absolutely over the moon! They absolutely set the tone of what my wedding will be like and I adore them!

If you are like me, you are reading so many reviews about the vendor you are about to choose for your big day. You want it to be perfect! Especially if you are working from another city, like I was. Let me tell you, Events by Whim will make distance seem like no matter, make the entire process as painless as possible!!

My husband and I had our invitations done by RSVP by Whim and I was 100% impressed with the design, quality, and professionalism we received by Michelle. Her responses were timely, and she was so accommodating to everything we wanted. We got so many compliments on them, and I loved them so much I had one framed for my home. I would definitely recommend them and use them again when we have another big event.
