About

Last update October 2024

Our work is profoundly influenced by our diverse yet similar cultures, where family, togetherness, and the celebration of life’s milestones are fundamental to everything we do. We draw inspiration from vibrant gatherings filled with music, dancing, and exquisite cuisine, infusing these cultural values into every wedding and event we design.

By accepting a limited number of events each year, we ensure alignment in vision, style, and execution, meticulously crafting each detail with precision and care. Every wedding becomes a custom masterpiece, uniquely reflecting your story while blending culture, elegance, and the beauty of the surroundings into an unforgettable experience.

With a team of innovative and seasoned planners, we specialize in luxurious, bespoke events, including tented weddings, multi-faith ceremonies, fusion weddings, and multi-day celebrations. Based in Toronto, we extend our services to Calgary, Banff, and beyond, bringing your dream wedding to life flawlessly, regardless of the destination.

Where do I begin!? When my now husband and I started our wedding planning, we seeked advice from many other newly wed couples about getting/using a wedding coordinator. The response was either they did and recommended we do too, or they didn’t but wish they had. We decided to explore and connected with 2 different planners. While we loved what they offered, we were still skeptical with spending the money on this service. Not to mention, my mom didn’t think it would be a good use of money. We continued to do planning ourselves for a few months and later came across Events by Whim and decided to connect with their team. One of the biggest things for us when choosing vendors, was the connection, conversation and vibe we felt with that vendor. We had the pleasure of meeting Alisha from the team, and we instantly felt that connection and vibe we were looking for. Alisha made us feel so comfortable and reassured from the very start. She walked us through everything they offered for month of coordination, which included a virtual walkthrough of the platform used and several guides available for couples. When we left that call, we knew we wanted to get the month of coordination, as we were comfortable with handling the planning up to that point, but wanted someone to take over closer too. Let me tell you, they did not disappoint! Alisha took over a month before our wedding. She was on top of everything and made sure all our vendors were confirmed, helped us finalize our itinerary, raised our attention to things we didn’t think of along the way, and soo much more. Our wedding consisted of 2 days - ceremony and reception. Michelle was our lead day-of coordinator, with Cristin-Marie working alongside for our ceremony and Grecia for our reception. With our 370 plus guest count, these ladies were on their toes all day/night. They made sure everything went according to plan, keeping us informed along the way for any tweaks and changes, or just checking in to make sure we were doing okay. We also received soooo much positive feedback from our friends and family attesting to the wonderful job of these ladies for both days. And remember my mom, who didn’t think we should get a coordinator. Well, her feedback was that the ladies worked super hard and did such a great job. She even recommended to a relative having a wedding later this year, that they get a coordinator as well - what a surprise lol. Overall, these ladies did an AMAZING job and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to choose the Events by Whim team! If you are considering a wedding coordinator, whether full planning or day of coordination, I would highly recommend their team!

Events by Whim saved the day! My now husband and I thought we could plan our wedding ourselves (being the perfectionists we are) and quickly found ourselves drowning. When we found Events by Whim, we felt an instant connection and boy are we glad we did! Alisha was an absolute joy to communicate with and linked us with our fairy godmother, Nirvanie. Nirvanie took away all of our stress and made our dream wedding a reality! We honestly couldn’t have done it without her and all of her amazing connections. She made sure everything was running smoothly on the day of our wedding, allowing us to enjoy every moment together. To the entire Events by Whim team, thank you for everything you do! I would recommend this team to everyone I know! They will not let you down!

One of the best decisions I made for our wedding was booking Events by Whim for Month of Management! We were on the fence about having a planner for our wedding, but we are SO grateful we did. There's so much that goes into preparing for a wedding day that I never expected and Alisha made sure that every detail was planned for - As a Type A person, this made me way less stressed! She really became my right-hand woman, always available for last-minute questions at any hour of the day, and was the person we could trust to handle all hiccups happening behind the scenes.

She also helped with the design of our Florals & Decor which blew us away and brought our dream to life! Our guests were constantly complimenting how beautiful our decor was.

Huge shout-out also to Nirvanie and Cristen-Marie who went above and beyond to make everything on our wedding day go so smoothly - Your 3-way calls made us feel like celebrities, and the way you had Archie nibble our cake was incredible!

Our day was truly perfect and it would not have been the same without the Events by Whim team! Let's do it again ;)

We recently got married in August 2022 and used Events by Whim to help us coordinate our special day at the Arlington Estate. Alisha and Nirvanie were extremely helpful throughout our planning process. We are so thankful for them and all that they did to make our wedding day a huge success. If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, we would strongly advise to put your trust in these wonderful ladies.

Our family hired the Whimlets to help with the planning of my brothers wedding. Best decision we made! Alisha was so seamless to deal with from the start. Both Karen and Alisha from the whim team took care of all of the details - the day of both weddings ran smoothly thanks to their help with not just the big stuff but the smallest of tasks. They kept us on time and on schedule. This team exudes passion and professionalism from start to finish. I would recommended using them if you want your event/wedding to be the very best day! Thanks Whim team so very much!!!!!

Worked with Alisha for a fab photoshoot and weddings this year, and her attention to detail is what makes all the difference in an event--so organized, never misses a thing, and venue looks so posh! She injects a wonderful vibe at the venue and makes it more fun to be there! We LOVE working with this lady boss! x

We had the pleasure of working with Whim Event Coordination this past weekend. Alisha and her team were professional and organized. They transformed our banquet space into an absolutely stunning classical display of beauty. Tastefully elegant design. We would love the opportunity to collaborate with them again in the future. I highly recommend there work and work ethic.

Amazing to work with, very detailed and organized! Whim Events allows me to focus on the entertainment portion of the evening and not worry about the little details in between - because it's already taken care of! One of my favourite vendors to work alongside.

We had the pleasure of working with Whim Events this past weekend (July 15th, 2016), and it was a great experience.

Not only did they put together a great event but were also incredibly professional and accommodating, not just with us but more importantly with the couple getting married.

We cannot thank you enough for everything!
