Toast Events

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Elise and her team at Toast for our wedding in May. Before going into all the details, I just want to say Elise, Madison, and Allie really allowed us to have that perfect wedding that we all dream of. They really exceeded our expectation!From our initial meeting, we felt that Elise was organized, open & flexible to ideas. We chose to the Month-before option, where Toast helped us plan the details of the itinerary and the final timeline with our vendors. Though they were not involved in the initial planning process, Elise was always prompt with answering questions, given us a lot of good tips, and recommended great vendors throughout the year.During the final month, we met with Elise several times and with each meeting I felt very confident in entrusting her and her team with leading the wedding on the day of. The itinerary was detailed down to the minute and she took into consideration all possible scenarios to make sure everything runs smoothly.On the day of the wedding, they took lead of decorating and managing all the vendors. I did not feel an ounce of stress from that aspect and had full confidence of the team. There were definitely hiccups as all wedding have (we had a vase broken due to strong winds right before the ceremony), but Elise and her team managed them seamlessly without putting stress on my part. I think we all really truly appreciated that. The wedding turned out even better than what we have envisioned and the work that Elise and her team did was monumental to the success.Even after 4 months, our guests are still raving about our wedding and we definitely have to thank Toast for that! We will definitely recommend Toast to all our friends who will be getting married in Ottawa! If you choose Toast, you will not be disappointed!

Elise & Madison are incredible at creating wedding magic! As a wedding hairstylist & makeup artist it was an absolute pleasure working with them for a styled shoot to showcase their event design brilliance - they're organized and a ton of fun!

Elise from Toast Events is truly one of the most impressive professionals I have had the privilege to have worked with! As my daughter's wedding planner, Elise excelled in meticulous planning and coordination of all the vendors, her attention to detail is unparalleled, her ability to interpret the vision of the bride and groom, even if they were not completely sure what that was, all without judgement or impatience, resulted in the most memorable of events - a wedding dream come true! I can't find enough expletives to fully convey her talent, knowledge, skill, vision, organization, that comes with Elise and her team. and, all with a smile, and genuine love for what she does. Whether it is a party of 5 or 500, you will be so well served !

I loved working with Elise on a styled vendor Christmas party that I photographed last winter. I hope to work with her on a real wedding as soon as possible. All of her work just looks so elegant and sophisticated, no matter the circumstance!

What an absolute dream it was to work with Elise and her team. Our wedding was flawless, beautiful, and more special than we could have ever asked for. Elise took care of every detail and her design came together so perfectly. The entire thing went off without a single snag and was entirely stress free for us. We have received so many compliments from our guests and I have told every single one that it was all thanks to Elise. Working with Toast was the best decision we could have made and I would recommend her full plan service to any couple.

Our wedding was made possible by Elise and her wonderful and talented team. Over the last 2 years Elise has been invaluable to us. She is incredibly detail-oriented, organized, professional, and above all, amazing at what she does! It goes without saying, we are so thankful for all that you did to make our wedding day become a reality. You exceeded all our expectations & we are so glad we had you & your expertise! Couldn't recommend her enough.

Elise and Madison made my dreams come true. Working alongside these two powerhouse women helped elevate our weddings to a level I could not have even imagined. Over the course of ten days, we hosted 10 events with over a thousand people in attendance. Toast Events planned and executed the most important of days, our big fat Punjabi wedding ceremony and reception (a 15 hour day total), our rehearsal dinner in Ottawa, and our Canadian wedding at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier. For each of the events that Elise and Madison coordinated, I walked into the rooms and what I saw took my breath away. The florals & decor (thank you Wedecor and Flowers by Charene), the grandeur and beauty, the flow and seamlessness of every event — it was truly a super human feat of excellence. My dreams were not only brought to life by Elise and Madison, but they were further amplified and elevated. It was the most unforgettable week of our lives, and we couldn’t have done it without Elise and Madison by our side.

Working with Toast was the best decision, and by far the best money we spent on our Wedding! Elise has excellent taste (my bridesmaids were off the hook for styling opinions!) and a solution to every logistical road block. We were so relaxed on our wedding day without a thing to worry about! Elise, Madison and Allie showed up looking sharp and professional and were on top of every minute of the day to ensure everything went perfectly (which it did!) We would not have survived the months leading up to our wedding without Elise and her team and will happily recommend their services to anybody looking, and even to those who aren't looking, because lets be honest even if you think you don't need one, a wedding planner will make all the difference in the world in terms of your wedding day enjoyment and these are without a doubt the girls for the job!

Trust Toast Events to do it right! Exceptional attention to detail, open to creative ideas and some great advice given along the way. I count myself lucky to have worked with Elise.
