My name is Lisa, and I am a certified Event and Meeting Planner.

​

Through my work at The Hospital for Sick Children and my involvement in medical conferences and workshops, I developed a strong interest in event planning. This inspired me to complete the Event and Meeting Management program at George Brown College.

After planning my own wedding in 2006, I gained a firsthand understanding of how much work goes into bringing an event to life—and how easily the guest of honour can become overwhelmed by the behind-the-scenes details instead of enjoying the celebration.

 

I gradually began helping friends and family with the final preparations for their weddings and special events. Sometimes, this meant arriving at the venue before the guests to ensure that everything was ready. I would send photos before they arrived so they could relax, knowing the space looked exactly as they had envisioned.

​

For other events, I took on a larger role—setting up centrepieces, seating arrangements, guest books and reception displays. Before long, I was also being asked to serve as the main point of contact for the day, coordinating the details and ensuring each event ran smoothly and on schedule.

​

Hiring a day-of coordinator allows you to breathe easy and fully enjoy your special occasion without worrying about the execution of all the details you spent months planning.

​

As your coordinator, I will be your extra set of hands, eyes and ears. From completing the final setup to keeping your timeline on track, I can take care of the behind-the-scenes details so you can focus on what matters most.

​

Don’t let your special day pass by while you are busy managing it. Be present in every moment—rather than experiencing it later through photographs.
