    Libby is AMAZING not only as a wedding planner but also as a person. Having never planned wedding before I had no idea about the first things and steps I needed to do. All I knew was only the venue were we planned to hold our wedding. By the time we hired Libby we had 2,5 months before the wedding. She took the whole process under control and helped us to alleviate any additional stress leading up to the wedding by providing helpful tips and resources that kept my husband and me on track for our big day. Through the planning process, Libby was attentive, organized, resourceful and punctual. Libby made our wedding day perfect.

    Libby thank you so much for all of your help, advice, guidance and support during our wedding planning process. You made all the overwhelming and daunting tasks manageable and made our special day one that we will both never forget.

    I highly recommend Libby absolutely to anyone who wants to have a beautiful and unforgettable celebration.

    It was a peasure and a privilege to be a part of your big day!❤️

    Dear Libby!
    I have no words to describe how happy I am that I hired you to plan my daughters Bat Mitzvah. You made her dreams come true. We could not have imagined a better party! You took all our ideas and brought them to life! So much work was done in such a short period of time. You put your heart and soul into every detail! You are full of ideas and creativity. Amazing job!!!! I have no words to describe how thankful I am to you for everything. I Highly recommend Upon Occasion

    Both me and my husband feel extremely fortunate that Libby planned our special day. From the very beginning Libby was approachable, professional and extremely effective. She put an incredible amount of time into planning our wedding (could not overemphasize this point) and went far and beyond of what I would ever expect from a wedding planner. She also connected me with vendors that provided incredible services ( I have never seen a wedding with more plentiful and beautiful flowers until my wedding) at reasonable prices. She has impeccable taste and made wonderful suggestions how to make my wedding more beautiful. During the planning of our wedding I was struggling with a medical condition and a very busy medial practice and Libby just made it all easier and possible for me. We got married at a beautiful restaurant where, unfortunately, the owners were not well organized or professional and I struggled with this but Libby took care of things to decrease my levels of stress. Importantly, both of our mothers who one could call old school and not easy to please were impressed with her hard work and commitment to our wedding. In the end, our wedding day was beautiful, stress free and everything turned out so much better than I could have ever anticipated thanks to Libby. We could not recommend her enough and will be forever thankful.

    We hired Upon Occasion a week before the wedding and Libby, the owner, was able to put everything together within such a short time. We were worried that our ceremony would be a mess due to our large bridal party, but with Libby's organization and firmness (that was truly needed) we were able to get everyone together for the rehearsals and as a result everything went smoothly and our ceremony was perfect!! She is prompt, professional, and knows what she is doing.
    Thank you Libby!!

    THE ONLY REVIEW YOU NEED TO READ :) Seriously )) Libby was AMAZING! 280 people, August wedding, 5 vendors. If you were like me trying to understand why you need a planner, and specifically why Libby, let me help you and make it short and simple. You're spending a TON of money, working at least 5 vendors, and you've put your heart and soul into a memory that will last you a lifetime. The last thing you want is: vendors disagreeing about arrangements, someone not having a placecard, not having the right number of chairs, music going off at the wrong times, a boring atmosphere, or any other worry in the world... You want to enjoy this day, you want your family to enjoy it. Not going with Libby would mean you're doing this all by yourself, which is crazy! Why Libby? That list.. are just a few of the MANY MANY things Libby did for our BEAUTIFUL wedding. She was AWESOME - professional, punctual, relaxing, upfront, direct, organized, and literally pushed everything forward to make our day super. You don't know this yet, but you NEED Libby... start with her early and get those contracts organized, vendors forget stuff. Don't stress, it's annoying and hard to deal with most vendors and you want someone to smooth out the process. Enjoy your day, and hire Libby, you will NOT regret it.

    Hiring Libby was one of the best decisions we've made for our PERFECT 300 people & 9 vendor wedding. If you want your event to run smoothly, meticulously organized, and have all vendors on the same page, while having someone to rely on in case there are literally ANY questions, then Libby is your dream come true. Every single aspect of working with Libby was exceptional: she was professional, organized, punctual, supportive, and most importantly experienced. Libby's experience shines through her work, she knows exactly who to call, what to ask and what to do next. She had everything prepared in advance for every meeting, asked the right questions, and resolved A TON of problems the day of the wedding between vendors. If you think you don't need a planner like Libby, you're super mistaken. There are things you won't be able to control or see during your wedding, and you'll need someone to do all that lifting and be your eyes and ears to make everything run flawlessly. It was said that we had one of the best events of the year, and we highly highly commend Libby for that. Without a doubt, don't think twice, and go with the best wedding planner in Toronto - Upon Occassion. Thank you Libby!

    Hiring Upon Occasion to assist me in organizing my son's bar - mitzvah was the best investment I ever made!

    Upon Occasion provides professional, efficient, expert, trustworthy, and knowledgeable services. I have planned many parties in the past and for the first time I got sit back, relax and enjoy the show at my own party.

    I was worry - free, stress-free, and felt confident in Libby to handle any unforseen issues. She provides an atmosphere that allows myself as the host to enjoy the party and entertain the guests, while she takes care of all the details that make the night go smoothly, fun and unforgettable for everyone!

    Now that I have experienced the services Libby has to offer I feel like I cheated myself out of getting the full enjoyment from my events.

    I am so grateful and thankful for all of Libby's help in making my son's bar mitzvah a great success. From the tiniest detail to the biggest possible disaster, Libby handles it all and I couldn't have done it without her!

    Libby is the eyes for things you cannot see, the mind for stuff you didn't think of and the person you need there to make an absolute perfect event!

    It was really pleasure to work with Libby. All the planning of our wedding she took in her hands and we even didn't feel any load of it during preparation and specialy during the day itself. She introduce to us the best vendors that made our day unforgettable. We will strongly recomend service of Upon Ocasion to everybody who wants to get service on the high professional level and simply to work with the great person like Libby.

    My husband and I are so happy to have chosen Libby from Upon Occasion to be our wedding planner in 2014. She has greatly exceeded our expectation. My husband and I met Libby in 2013 through an introduction from our photographer. As I fell sick, we needed help in the wedding planning process. As I am a project manager for over a decade, I do have a strong expectation in the skill set of our wedding planner.

    Libby is extremely seasoned in the wedding industry and we truly value her honesty throughout the wedding planning process to ensure we are making the right decision. Her network of vendors have helped us to save cost in various areas. Just like you, you probably feel these vendors may not be your fit but trust me, Libby's network of vendors are all highly recommended in the industry and their work carries quality and cost effective.

    Not only Libby was able to carry out our dreams with the numerous amount of vendors we have requested - ranging from cake, decorations, musicians, and the various entertainers. The venue we chosen was not a typical banquet hall which makes it challenging for some of our vendors. Libby has meticulously created the itinerary (which was changed well over 20 times), on the day of the wedding, the wedding was carried out as per the itinerary. Our arrival was late and our ushers were late, Libby immediately not only acted as our wedding planner, she acted as our ushers to ensure our guests are seated comfortably.

    We are truly blessed to have met Libby and hiring her was the best thing we have done for our wedding, we couldn't think of anyone else that will do a better job. She truly hustled for us on our wedding day and making the special day such a special moment for us, one that we will remember for the rest of our lives!

    Libby is an amazing planner. She knows all the right things to do and say to make clients and vendors feel at ease during events. She has the industry experience to be an asset to any client looking for an event planner. Keep up the good work Libby!

    I wanted a wedding planner who would keep the planning process light and fun but would also handle all contract negotiations and the not so fun parts of wedding planning. Upon Occasion really delivered! Libby and the team helped us come up with a stunning design, colour palate, and feel for our wedding. She helped us select fantastic vendors who we adored. She also helped us secure several discounts that we would not have received if it were not for Libby and her deep relationships with those inside the wedding industry.
    Upon Occasion's organizational skills are phenomenal. For the 6 months that we were 'together', Libby and the team introduced us to every little nuance in wedding planning. All we had to do was make decisions as she brought them to our attention.
    The day of the wedding was unusually relaxing and fun. I didn't worry about a single thing but my fiance and guests.
    We will always be grateful to Upon Occasion for making the most important day of our lives filled with joy, ease and happiness.
    We will definitely use UO for any of our future events!

    Having Upon Occasion as our planner meant the Board of Directors could enjoy the event without having to worry about all the details on the day of the event. After Breast Cancer was very fortunately to have Libby as our events planner, she was a delight to work with in every possible ways. She even purchase her ticket for the event, even when she know she would be working and she could not participate in the enjoyment of the day... Amazing! Please hire Upon Occasion for your next event.

    Yours,

    Without Libby, I honestly wouldn't have the wedding that I did. She is the most organized, passionate, friendly, honest, and, caring person I ever met. As many brides, I was one that had to have everything perfect! from small to big details, it had to be flawless. I met Libby about 6 months before my wedding, and I was a bit overwhelmed with the planning, I knew I needed a hand. We met Libby, and what can I say, she was simply perfect! She understood our vision, our theme, and the small details that we wanted. We hired Libby for the ' day of coordination' , but she did so much more for us. She took the time to travel to our venue, nagotiate with vendors, manage our itinerary, and etc. If you are deliberating whether you need a wedding planner, you sure do need one! take my word for it. I always tell people, that it was the BEST investment for the wedding :) I was one of the happiest bride's on my wedding day. And its all thanks to Libby. She made our wedding exactly the way we imagined it would be :) . I am so grateful we met her! We recommend her to everyone! she is the best of the best! Thank you so so much!!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!! - Irena & Roman

    I feel grateful for choosing Libby as our wedding event planner. She went far and beyond her role by making me feel at ease during all the planning when it seemed overwhelming at times. All the months leading up, she kept me on target, reminded me regularly of what we needed to do or I needed to accomplish and just kept me organized. Her suggestions and knowledge in all aspects of our wedding made the journey less intense and more fun.
    The day of the wedding felt effortless and easy because of her commitment to our happiness. I was in 10 wedding parties myself and saw the stress brides endure the day of their wedding making sure all parts of the day were in order and I promised myself I would not experience that. Having Libby take on the responsibility of the days events allowed us to simply be present at our wedding and enjoy each moment without care for what had to come next because Libby was our eyes and ears. Only after our honeymoon did I find out about things that transpired that she fixed without incident or anyone knowing what had happen. If she wasn’t there my husband and I would have dealt with them.
    If you want to have a joyous day and look back and say you didn’t have to deal with anything expect being happy and enjoying your party, then hire Libby. 
She was the best gift we gave ourselves.
    Good luck with all your plans. Enjoy the ride to the alter.

    Working with Libby was effortless. Professional, organized, creative, and friendly only begin to describe her skills. Libby made the most important day of my life a dream come true! She went above and beyond on several occasions and always made me feel so important. When the big day arrived, everything was AMAZING and went perfectly thanks to Libby and her dedicated team at Upon Occasion! I not only met and worked with the best wedding planner in the industry, but I also made a friend for life.
