Blue Lavender Events

We are SO happy that we found & chose Iris as our wedding planner. There are no words that will justify how amazing she was to work with. From her incredibly talented vision, to her organization and attention to detail, we were able to have so much trust in Iris for both her creative vision, and executing a perfect day. There were so many details that we never would have known we had to take care of, and she always prioritized our best interests. I never had to worry about a single thing because I knew she would be on top of it. After our monthly meetings, even my husband would always be so happy and say this was money well spent. :) Along with her incredible talent, she is so genuine, sweet and easy to get along with. She is the reason why the whole wedding process and day of was fun, and stress free. My bridesmaids were so impressed with Iris, would rave about her when she left the room, and even wanted to hire her afterwards.Plus - wow, did she bring the most incredible team with her on the day of! Her assistants added so much value to the day, and helped me in anything I needed without me even asking for it. I was so shocked at how on deck they were, and ready by my side, so proactive with anything I needed. Everyone said how Iris and her team felt like they were our friends on the day, and they made it so fun and easy.Our wedding was more beautiful than I ever imagined, and I had way more fun than I thought I would on my own wedding day. A BIG thank you to Iris for making this happen and bringing us an unforgettable day we can't stop thinking about! We only wish we could get married twice and get to and work with you again!!

We can’t say enough good things about Iris and her team at Blue Lavender!They were extremely organized and made our wedding day completely stress free.For the weeks leading up to the wedding, Iris handled all communications with the vendors. She gracefully managed our difficult venue and transportation requirements and pulled together a perfect, incredibly detailed timeline.On the day of, Iris and her team were a pleasure to be around and ensured everything went off without a hitch. Even when we had a last minute linen crisis, Iris handled it before we had time to worry.Thank you, Iris and team, for helping make our wedding day dreams come true!

Iris and her team are nothing short of perfection. We can’t adequately explain how talented, professional, artistic, aesthetic, organized, accommodating, responsive, patient, calming, helpful and kind Iris is. She helped create the most beautiful, chic, modern city wedding of our dreams and pulled it off effortlessly, with a talented eye for design and detail. We truly can’t imagine our day without Iris and her entire team helping us through every moment. They took the weight of wedding stress off our shoulders and we were able to have the most magical day. It was a dream working with Iris and we cannot recommend her enough. You will be in the most capable hands. Thank you Iris!!!

Iris was our planner/coordinator for our wedding at Hart House in Toronto, June 2019.I can’t say enough good things about her. Our wedding actually exceeded our expectations and it’s definitely in part thanks to Iris. From the moment you meet her you will feel that she is on your team, she won’t miss even the tiniest detail, and you can trust her completely. She is extremely meticulous with planning out all the details and timelines and makes sure that on the day of, you aren’t worrying about anything except enjoying yourself and taking it all in.She’s extremely adaptable and was able to help with so many aspects of the wedding. We used her recommendations for some of our vendors, she helped with our floral meetings, and she worked in a number of special requests we had for our wedding such as a mini Chinese tea ceremony and a sparkler exit.Iris totally exceeded my expectations, went above and beyond, and is a total superstar planner!

My husband and I recently worked with Blue Lavender Events for our wedding in Toronto.Working with Iris for our wedding was one of the best investments into our wedding day that we made. Iris was there for us every step of the way, especially navigating through all of the uncertainty with the pandemic. She put together a beautiful and detailed event design for us and her vision matched us perfectly. Throughout the planning Iris was responsive, lovely to work with and so organized. She adapted and was there for us through the many changes that we faced with Covid-19. When we finally got to the wedding day, it completely exceeded our expectations. Every detail that Iris helped us plan out was so beautiful. Iris and her team did an amazing job executing the day and we didn’t have to think about anything other than enjoying our special day with our close family and friends.We would highly recommend Blue Lavender Event services for your upcoming wedding or event.

Iris and her team is absolutely incredible! Her organization, quick response time, and extraordinary vision make her a pleasure to work with! After just a few short conversations Iris understood the entire vision for our wedding day and was able to ensure our dreams became a reality within our budget! All of the vendors we worked with also commented on what a pleasure Iris was to work with which made us feel super confident in our choice.

My husband and I feel very lucky to have had Blue Lavender Events for Full Planning. We cannot express the full scale of our gratitude. Our dream was to have the wedding ceremony and tented reception take place on my parents' backyard. Iris delivered a custom and unforgettable celebration. It was above and beyond anything we could dream of!The day was complicated logistically because we had a larger guest count and we needed to import and export everything a traditional wedding venue would have. This included three tents, tables, a kitchen, washrooms, electricity, security, backup rain plan, sound system and garbage disposal. We had four separate spaces that needed to be set up (ceremony, cocktails, dinner tent and entertainment tent). Set-up started three days before the wedding and teardown finished two days after. Iris and her amazing assistant Valary led all vendor site visits. She prepared customized floorplans, schedules, timelines, spreadsheets for electricity requirements, and other organisational activities for all vendors. She also had a comprehensive wedding folder for us, was always mindful of our budget, and spotted unnecessary costs. She went through all our vendor contracts before we signed to make sure our best interests were looked after. Iris also facilitated and sourced our more custom requests, such as a ramen bar and fresh mini-doughnut stand.We did not hire a full-scale decorator because we found Iris understood our vision the best. She very graciously and naturally absorbed the role of our decorator in addition to being our wedding planner! She put together a gorgeous design plan for our wedding and sourced all the components we loved. She has great taste and we had a lot of fun planning while being shielded from the tedious logistical issues.Most of all, Iris and Valary were always pleasant, responded quickly to emails, and had great relationships with the vendors. In a number of emails I was CCed on, the vendors thanked Iris and Valary for being such a pleasure to work with. Valary has a wonderful can-do" attitude and is very thoughtful. Iris is so genuine and sharp and looked out for us

We feel so so lucky to have worked with Iris and Blue Lavender Events for Full Planning. We initially began working with Iris to help plan our November 2020, 180-person wedding. From the start, Iris took the time to get to know us on a more personal level and understand our story and our style. She perfectly envisioned how we wanted our day to feel and look. And we were so excited for our big day!And then COVID hit. While we both felt a bit nervous about what it would all mean for our wedding plans, we also felt so incredibly supported by Iris as we postponed to 2021. From the moment the world began to shut down and gatherings were restricted, Iris was always in constant communication to make us feel at ease and to always offer solutions, all while navigating this new territory herself. Planning and re-planning a wedding multiple times can certainly take a toll. However, Iris’ ongoing support and professionalism made navigating it all a whole lot easier.We decided to move forward and get married in June 2021. Restrictions meant that we could only have a small, physically distanced ceremony with 20 guests. But it was the most beautiful ceremony we could ever have imagined. Iris helped us add those special touches that elevated the experience – a gorgeous design and flower display (honestly – people won’t stop commenting on how pretty everything looked!), a high-quality live stream of the ceremony to our friends and family who couldn’t be there in person, and meaningful moments like our first dance and funny, heartwarming speeches from family and friends.We cannot say this enough – we couldn’t have gotten through this without Iris. And while many couples may be hesitant about getting married during a pandemic (we were too!), we are so glad we did. It was an amazing day and we have Iris to thank!

We were so pleased that we had Iris as our planner. Planning a wedding in Toronto from the UK would have been impossible without Iris. Iris is very professional, detail-oriented and extremely pleasant to work with. Like many other couples, our wedding had to be postponed due to COVID-19 and Iris was so quick with re-booking the whole thing. There are so many details involved and decisions to make, that I would not have thought of without Iris. She is very well connected and all the vendors she recommended were amazing.Our wedding was on schedule and everything went so smoothly despite the Rogers network outage nationwide and extremely stress-free thanks to Iris’s and her BLE team's help.We would highly recommend to anyone considering a wedding planner to choose blue lavender event with Iris! Thank you so much, from the bottom of our hearts!

Looking back on our wedding day the first word that comes to mind is flawless. From day one Iris not only got to know our ideas but got to know us as individuals and as a couple to help create a vision for our wedding that went beyond what we could imagine. Throughout the process she was collaborative, thoughtful, supportive, and truly everything we could have hoped for from a wedding designer and planner.On the day of the wedding there was not a single thing that either of us had to “stress” or worry about. Iris and her team went well beyond making sure the rooms were beautifully set up and the day followed smoothly – from helping steam the veil to carrying around Caitlin’s lip gloss and helping clean her dress after a muddy photoshoot they had every single detail handled. Thanks to Iris, Jenn, Diana, and Sian we were able to relax and enjoy our wedding.
