LAVISH ENGAGEMENTS REVIEWS

As the mother of the bride who had to organize a wedding, cancel a wedding during covid, and reorganize a wedding, Georgia was my lifeline. I could not have done it without Georgia and her team. During the two years of planning stages, she was my rock. She had direct links to Vancouver Island's best services, quality, and unique products. During the planning stages, she was excellent, professional and a source of strength. We had the best caterer, photographer, musicians, and floral; she could facilitate and coordinate everything easily. The best thing was the feedback from our guests and the wedding party, who told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended and that everything seemed seamless.

Georgia was truly amazing and helped to make sure our day ran perfectly. When issues came up throughout the day, we were grateful to have Georgia there to make sure everything was taken care of and that the stress never fell on us. Georgia was friendly, professional ,and easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. On the wedding day, she made sure everything ran on time and went above and beyond to make us feel celebrated. We would definitely recommend Georgia and her team at Lavish Engagements!.

I've had the pleasure of working with Georgia at Lavish Engagements and let me tell you, she is always on top of her game. Her great communication, her friendly demeanor, and her detail oriented nature make Georgia a wonderful asset to your wedding or other special event. Scoop her up if she's available!.

SHAPING MEMORIES EVENT PLANNING REVIEWS

Trina and Braeja made our wedding day run extremely smoothly. They were so incredibly organized and made the planning process very easy for us! Originally, we thought of looking for a day of coordinator and we cannot express how happy we are that we went with Shaping Memories as our planners instead! So many little things that they brought up throughout the planning process we had not even thought of! We can’t thank them enough for all their support and help from the beginning right up to the big day.

DJ'd a wedding yesterday with Braeja and Trina and they were fantastic! The roads to the venue were pretty terrible and they kept me informed well before the date on alternate routes and to leave a good cushion for time. They were both very professional and the whole day went super smooth with their direction. Thanks again for keeping me so informed and hope to work with you more in the future!.

I recently had the pleasure of working alongside Braeja & Trina at a wedding they were planning/coordinating, and these two are so lovely to work with. They are organized, communicative, prompt, kind, fun, and did an incredible job of helping the couple's day flow smoothly. I highly recommend their planning and coordinating services to any couple!.

KRYSTALIZED EVENTS REVIEWS

Krystal is such a beautiful and kind person, who brought such a calming and knowledgable impact to our wedding planning process and our day. We were lucky enough to have her as our coordinator and decorator, she was very organized and was the key to our day going smoothly, efficiently and look absolutely stunning! Krystalized events is amazing for anyone getting married but also specifically us whom are not from the area and had a "destination" wedding!.

I can't say enough about Krystal. Her energy and ease made our day flow without worrying about anything. I can't say how thankful I am for her. If you're doubting on getting someone to help plan and organize your wedding, don't think about it anymore- just do it. You'll thank yourself later on. - Michelle & Trent.

What a GEM you are Krystal! We only had the opportunity to meet through FaceTime....yet you got it ALL right for our wedding. You were so thorough and thoughtful in making all the pieces come together and ready for our special day. Thank you so much!! - Brian and Analise.
