Jessica is the reason our wedding was so beautiful!

When we hired a wedding planner, we really weren’t sure what to expect. Enter Jessica - creative, impeccable taste, amazing advice, organized, assertive. She recommended amazing vendors, she designed a beautiful wedding, and she was always there to answer our questions. I am terrible with decisions and design, and Jessica stepped in and made the wedding of my dreams. We got so many compliments! Plus, on the day I worried about NOTHING - Jessica and her team took care of everything and the day went seamlessly with no issues. She even designed and organized all our signage!!! My husband is thrilled with Jessica as well. She saved us hours of research/reach out time and saved us some money along the way through keen suggestions. Plus she helped me be a calm, cool and collected bride. We truly couldn’t have done it without her and appreciate so much everything she did for us! If you’re looking for a planner she’s the one.

I only wish I was getting married again so I could work with Jessica again..

I cannot even begin to explain how amazing Jessica is but I will try... When my fiancé and I started planning our wedding, we had the intention of doing it without a wedding planner. My fiancé especially didn't think or understand the potential need for a wedding planner especially since we were have a relatively smaller wedding. Especially because our venue actually slightly convinced us that we did not need a planner... However, I did have a vision of what I wanted for our wedding and one of my biggest fears was spending all this money and showing up the day of and everything not being as I had imagined it...

We definitely were looking into a Day of Coordinator which is what brought us to Jessica. After my first conversation with Jessica, I knew I wanted more than a Day of Coordinator and I knew we needed her to help plan our wedding. I cannot even imagine not having Jessica... I always have said this, but I would have cancelled the wedding if I didn't have Jessica. Jessica made what should be a stressful time and experience, completely stress FREE. I knew I could put my complete trust in Jessica from the very beginning to bring my vision to life and quite honestly I didn't give her much to work with but just from the few details I did have, she was able to work wonders.

When you're planning an event, an event such as your wedding.... unless you have some broad experience of event planning, you cannot be expected to easily be able to throw a massive event such as your wedding, together (no matter how big or how small). Some can do it and more power to them but most of us will end up realizing it is way more challenging and not nearly as much fun as one would hope. Wedding planners exist for a reason and though it is an additional expense, wedding planners such as Jessica ARE WORTH IT.

As soon as we started working with Jessica, I barely had to worry about a thing. Jessica took the reins and she was so assertive and knew the exact questions to ask that we would have NEVER even thought to ask and with every vendor, she knew when to push back. Not to mention she was just an absolute pleasure to work with, she was always so kind and made our wedding amazing. I could honestly write for ever on how amazing Jessica was but all I can say is I only wish I was getting married again so I could work with Jessica again..

My now-husband and I quickly realized that we were in over our heads when we were planning our wedding. Our timeline was very short, and we led very busy lives. So, we began looking for a wedding planner to help us make our big day happen.

Before hiring a planner, my biggest fear was that we would not find someone sensitive to our needs as an intercultural couple. We were looking to combine our respective cultural traditions, which would make for a unique wedding. However, it would be challenging to strike that balance. There was a good chance that if things were handled poorly, a lot of people from both sides of our family would be disappointed. However, I'm happy to say our fears were completely unfounded. When we met Jessica, we quickly felt comfortable handing the reins over to her. She took the time to understand our needs, respected our desires, and made a special effort to ensure that what was important to us was included in the day.

We were drawn to Bisous Events when we saw their portfolio and noticed they had planned other intercultural weddings. Most places we looked at had only traditional Western weddings. Seeing that, we felt more comfortable reaching out to them, feeling they had the kind of experience we were looking for. Not to mention all the other weddings looked stunning as well! How could we not?

I cannot recommend Jessica and Bisous Events more. Our wedding day was special, memorable, and extremely fun! Honestly, we got everything we hoped for and so much more. If you want a truly spectacular wedding, then look no further. This is the place for you!

Amazing experience!

My husband and I booked Jessica for partial planning for our wedding and I'm SO glad we did. I honestly don't know what we would have done without her! Jessica is exactly the type of person you want supporting your wedding as she has impeccable taste, knows absolutely everything about weddings, and is super effective at getting things done. She was so patient with us and always there to answer our million questions, and genuinely cared so much about our wedding going perfectly. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was thought through, so that everything went as smoothly and was as beautiful as possible. We cannot thank her enough, as we had the most amazing wedding which was beyond anything we could have hoped for!

PAIGE + BRETT

Hiring Bisous Events was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. Jess and her whole team provided us with top of the line service - from planning and providing recommendations for theme, decor, design, all the small details, and the best vendors in the biz, to replanning our WHOLE wedding in 3 days due to restrictions.
We literally came to Jess with a blank canvas - so unsure as to what we wanted for our wedding and Jess steered us in the absolute best direction. She asked all the right questions and really got to know us as a couple in order to plan the most perfect wedding! The day of was so incredibly magical and so seamless - though, should there have been an issue I wouldn't even have known since Jess was on top of everything.
Jess is so dedicated and SO incredible at what she does. She does not leave a single stone unturned - things you wouldn't even think of. Not to mention she is hilarious and so fun to be around - meetings with Jess were such a pleasure!
We will 100% be recommending Jess to all of our friends and family and will be hiring Bisous Events for all future planning needs.

We got married in a pandemic with moving restrictions in Ontario, Canada. Enough said, right? Wrong. Enter Jessica, who's innovative and thoughtful approaches catered to both our whims and made our New Years wedding a night to remember!!
Thanks for coming through Jessica, it meant the world to us that you were there from start to finish.

Best,

Brett

Jessica and her team helped us create our perfect day. We first connected with Jess after reading her sparkling reviews on Google. We got engaged near the holidays which is a really busy time but Jess responded right away and made time for an in person meeting between Christmas and New Years. Her promptness and professionalism was one of the things that drew us to her instantly.

We were so grateful we did! Jess held our hand through the entire process. She helped us turn our vision of super modern and glamorous into reality. On the day of, Jess and her team made sure everything ran smoothly and the bride/groom/party and their families didn't have to worry about anything. 

The day itself went very smoothly and was the wedding of our dreams! I would recommend anyone planning their wedding to engage Jess and her team. We did full planning and it was the right call for us. We did not know the right vendors or how to engage them and how much things should cost. She was a real pro and helped us from start to finish. 

Thank you Jess for everything!!

A dream to work with

When my husband (!) and I finalized the plans for our wedding, we knew we cared about a seamless wedding, with personal touches, that we also personally could enjoy with our guests. We weren't sure we needed a wedding coordinator, but thank heavens we got one! Jessica from Bisous was a pleasure to work with. She is so organized and well versed in the Toronto wedding industry, that we immediately knew we had made the right decision. She offered great suggestions around our wedding and vision, while never losing sight of what we as a couple wanted. She even sent us several planning tools, including checklists! We had a few meetings with her, in her studio and at our venue, which was extremely helpful and again put us at ease. We got married at the great hall, which being a somewhat non-traditional venue, had many unique things to consider. She considered aspects of the day we haven't even thought of, created a great schedule and also liaised consistently with all our vendors, to make the day run so smoothly. I actually can't praise her enough for how seamless and smooth everything went all day - we got to enjoy time with our guests without ever worrying about something getting done, because Jessica was already on top of it. For a couple who literally tried to DIY most things, she also was so so helpful at setting up our venue with our vision and literally took our ideas to the next level, making everything look absolutely amazing. We got so many compliments on how beautiful our tables looked and how laid back the event felt. If you're not sure about whether you need a coordinator, I encourage you to chat with Jessica and consider getting one. Because we're hopefully only going to have one wedding there were tons of things that we didn't know anything about, and her expertise and advice went a long way!!! She honestly made our day, and our guests day, so much more enjoyable! Cannot recommend enough!

The BEST wedding planner - look no further!

What to say.. .Bisous Events run by Jessica the best wedding planner we could have possibly asked for.

We were recommended to her by our venue, as we had selected a venue first. From the first phone call onwards, nothing but the finest level of integrity and professionalism. She was very quick to reply for any query. We initially thought to hire her for a limited planning, but after meeting with her we were so impressed we elected to hire her for a full wedding planning. We did not regret this decision for a single second, and it is the best decision we made regarding our wedding. She is so proactive and on the ball. Everything was organized, leaving us with zero stress when the wedding came round. The event venue was The Great Hall that required all rentals including tables, chairs, glasses, etc. Jessica coordinated all these services. She kept us up to date the perfect amount - so we felt involved, but not burdened in the slightest. We knew exactly what was going on the entire time - yet felt completely at ease with her great organizational skills and vision. The vendors she suggested were fantastic and we are sure we saved money as she was able to suggest some great options that fit out budget. The wedding went off without a single hitch. The best night of our lives, and we owe a lot of it to Jessica. Everything was sorted to the final detail, she also designed the whole theme based on a few ideas for us, and it was BEAUTIFUL. She went above and beyond in every fashion. As an example, she was supposed to stay until 10:30 pm the night of the wedding, she ended up staying until 1 AM, just to ensure things were perfect. Not to mention, everything was done within our budget

Really, truly - if you want a wedding planner, look no further - Bisous Events and Jessica are a must.

HAYDEE + ERROL

My husband and I were initially looking for a day-of-coordinator for our wedding, but the moment we met Jessica we were so drawn by her enthusiasm, passion and friendly personality that we decided to hire her for Planning instead. Throughout the planning process, Jess really took the time to get to know us as a couple and our vision for the day. She was responsive to all our emails and made the time to meet us on several occasions. She connected us with great vendors, came with us to meetings and always had great suggestions to offer. On the day of our wedding, so many people told me that I was the calmest bride they’ve ever seen (vendors included) and it was because I knew that our wedding was in very capable hands. Jess made sure everything was taken care and executed properly. I couldn’t have dreamed of a more beautiful and memorable day and we have Jess and her team to thank for making that possible.

Aside from choice of the right bride and groom, booking Bisous Events was the best wedding decision we made! Immediately after we met with Jessica to discuss booking month-of planning services, we instantly felt a weight lift off and knew that we were in excellent hands.

There are so many pieces to pre-wedding and day-of organization/set up that just aren't known to people who are planning for the first time. Jessica steered us in the best directions and helped us streamline communications with vendors and maximize their services. She was always available to provide advice (responses within 24 hrs), and in the weeks leading up to the day asked us all the right questions to anticipate elements to help the day run smoothly.

Even if a venue provides a coordinator, their priorities can differ. Jessica and her team are there 100% for you and to advocate on your behalf and deal with any little hiccups that pop up in the day, allowing your guests to just enjoy. We got the feeling that she truly cared about our vision and making the event a success, making every effort to be involved with venue communications and key meetings over and above what was contracted for. 

It also helped that Jessica has impeccable style and she and her team were meticulous in their work. The décor set up reflected our instructions perfectly (or expertly worked around any last minute hurdles). 

As a financial investment, while the peace of mind and comfort on the day alone is worth it, we also felt that the service costs were recovered by her ability to help you focus on what is important to you and re-purpose / maximize décor pieces from the ceremony to the reception. Highly recommend!

KATIE + MICAH

We met with Jessica based on a recommendation and we are so glad that we did! We ended up deciding on the full planning package as it became clear to us that we were no experts in planning a wedding, but Jessica was. She was with us every step of the way to help us plan and coordinate our perfect day, which it turned out to be. Our goal for our wedding day was to enjoy the day with our family and friends and having Jessica as our planner allowed us to do so fully. She had a true understanding of what we wanted our wedding day to be like. Her sense of décor and styling is amazing, and our wedding looked better than we could have imagined. 

Jessica was helpful in coordinating our vision for our day and finding us the best vendors (and within our budget!). Many people even came up to us to compliment how organized our wedding planner was, especially in the days leading up to our wedding. Thanks to her hard work our day went off without a hitch. Hiring Jessica as our wedding planner was the best money we spent on our wedding!

REBECCA + MIKE

We waited until a month or two before the wedding to decide on a day-of-coordinator and hiring Jessica was one decision we never looked back on. Jessica and I hit it off the moment we met - she is friendly yet professional, has a great sense of style, and really tries to get to know you and your vision for the big day. She went through all our plans and ideas to ensure she understood what we expected on the wedding day and I liked that she made suggestions for not only logistics, but also little decor ideas that I missed or didn't even think of. She also wasn't afraid to voice her opinion on her experiences, as she wants only the best for your big day. She is very passionate about what she does and you can see it through her work ethic and overall attitude when corresponding with her. I had no problem relying on her to get things done and she was super responsive throughout the entire process. As the previous reviewer mentioned - it really felt like Jessica was a friend at my wedding and not just a planner. Thanks so much for all your hard work!

GRACE + TREVOR

We were recommended Bisous events by our photographer. Once I checked out the website I was pleased to see they offered partial panning. Bisous Instagram was magical and portrayed beautifully executed events. I was nervous planning a wedding in only 6 months especially when I did not exactly know what I wanted. Jessica truly gave vision for the design of our wedding. I could not of imagined it any other way. She knew what I wanted before I even knew what I wanted. When the day arrived I was not stressed, nor worried about any of the details. I fully trusted Jessica and her team. And, I certainly was not wrong too. As I walked into our ceremony and reception I was blown away by how everything looked. It was truly breathtaking. All details flawless. During the planning process Jessica was easy to talk to, she gave excellent creative direction, and was always detail oriented.

Anyone who has the pleasure to work with Jessica is in great hands. She will ensure your dreams come true and make the process fun along the way. She has amazing talents!

TRACY + PHUONG

Shortly after our engagement, my fiance and I both knew a wedding planner was definitely a must we will not go without hiring a professional. I found Jessica simply after doing some research online getting in touch was so effortless we met in person when we both flew home (we reside in Alberta but originally from Toronto). The partial planning option was a great choice because overall we knew what we liked and needed help with mainly decor etc. Jessica was always there for any questions no matter how big or small. She went above and beyond for us, on the day of despite the little things we had a great time. The attention to detail was incredible I cannot say enough how great of a day it truly was.

Thank you to Bisous Events and Jessica!
