Let’s be honest, saying “yes” to the dress (or the suit, whatever you fancy) is the easy part. The real challenge? Navigating the wild world of wedding planning. 

You have to choose the perfect venue — rustic chic or grand ballroom? 

Then, there’s finding a photographer who can capture those Instagram-worthy moments. Let’s face it: that’s what it’s all about these days! 

With all these decisions, it’s enough to make even the calmest partner want to elope.

But you don’t have to go into a frenzy trying to plan the perfect Montreal wedding. This city is overflowing with talented wedding planners who can handle all the nitty-gritty details.

So, ditch the spreadsheets and the stress-induced breakouts, and let’s dive into my hand-picked list of Montreal’s finest wedding planners.

How We Chose

We’ve had the pleasure of checking out Reine Prestige Events, and let’s just say they really know how to turn a wedding into something special. 

What really impressed us was how Reine Kizy Louma Eya, who’s clearly passionate about her work, doesn’t follow the same tired playbook. Instead, she and her team dive into the details, ensuring that each couple’s unique vision takes centre stage.

From vendor recommendations and budget planning to beautifully designed florals, they’re hands-on with every aspect. 

We especially liked how they’re equipped to handle all kinds of weddings, including cultural and civil ceremonies. This allows them to cater to specific traditions with ease. 

And if you’re looking for a smooth planning process, booking a call through their site is super easy. They make the entire experience feel tailored and personal, keeping things elegant yet stress-free. 

Makes the bride feel like the happiest person ever

“Reine is very professional and hard working lady. She organised my sister’s wedding in Canada, Montreal,  and I can tell you the wedding was just perfect. My 10-hours-driving for that wedding was worth it. Thank you again Reine. You made my sister the happiest bride ever.”

Transforms wedding dreams into a spectacular reality

“I am a young bride who was lucky enough to hire Reine as a planner for my wedding on July 9, 2022. I say lucky because I came across her by chance while doing some research on Google. No one recommended it to me. I clicked on the first link and called it directly. My first feeling when I talked to him was really good and we hired Reine, my husband and I. I would tell you that it is the best investment we could have made for this wedding. The result was spectacular, prestigious, royal and glamorous. We had a princely wedding that lived up to our expectations. Reine and her team went above and beyond to make our day memorable. When we first saw the reception hall, my husband and I wondered if this was our wedding!!! It was so beautiful. I will never forget the expression of my astonishment at such beauty. The room was just wow. Even our guests kept telling us it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. Wow!! such a compliment can only touch us. I owe it to Reine through whom God came to do us good. I worked with Reine so often to organise my wedding that she became more than an organiser for me. Reine is a great lady with a big heart. She listened to the smallest details to offer us a dream wedding. We were able to have everything we wanted for our wedding. Without Queen on our side, I don’t think we would have had the same result. All our guests were happy to have been able to attend our wedding. Thank you Reine for your professionalism, your good humor, your kindness and your attentiveness. Your advice was useful to us. Thank you Reine for giving me an unparalleled wedding that will remain engraved in my mind for a long time. God bless your projects. I recommend Reine Prestige Events to any bride who wants to experience a wedding that meets her expectations. Reine will be able to help you with this project. Good luck Queen. Thank you for everything.”

2. Sue Ellen Events | Luxury Montreal Wedding Planner

Contact: +1 514-942-0786

Operating hours: Open 24 hours

Website

Sue-Ellen Cotter and her team at Sue Ellen Events are known for creating unforgettable weddings. Her range of services, whether full planning or day-of coordination, offers a smooth experience for couples. 

The Blush Timeless Romance package really caught our eye. It focuses on creating an elegant and classic atmosphere, with carefully curated details that reflect the couple’s love story. 

From start to finish, you can be assured that Sue-Ellen and her team are there to handle everything. 

Several couples appreciated the 24/7 support, which made them feel fully taken care of throughout the process. They also praised how easy it was to contact her through her website to start planning. 

You can expect a highly personalised and dedicated approach to every event because she only takes on a limited number of clients each year. This exclusivity ensures that each wedding gets the attention it deserves. 

However, this leads to limited availability, which requires couples to book well in advance to secure their desired date. 

Manages every detail effortlessly

“We recently had the immense pleasure of working with Sue Ellen for our wedding, and words cannot express how truly exceptional the experience was. From the moment we met Sue Ellen, we knew we were in the best hands. From the outset, she demonstrated an incredible ability to understand our vision. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, learning about our tastes, preferences, and dreams for our special day. Her attention to detail and commitment to making our wedding unique and personal was evident in every interaction. Throughout the planning process, Sue Ellen was a beacon of calm and organisation. She effortlessly managed every aspect, from selecting the perfect venue and vendors to coordinating the tiniest details. Her expertise and connections within the industry were invaluable, ensuring we had top-notch services and products at every turn. One of the most impressive aspects was her creativity and resourcefulness. Sue Ellen presented us with innovative ideas that we hadn’t even considered, and her ability to bring these concepts to life was truly magical. The décor, the floral arrangements, and even the smallest accents were all impeccably styled and perfectly aligned with our theme. On the day of the wedding, Sue Ellen and her team executed everything flawlessly. We were able to relax and fully enjoy our day, knowing that every detail was being meticulously handled. Her presence was both reassuring and unobtrusive, allowing us and our guests to be completely immersed in the celebration. Our wedding was not just an event, but a beautiful, seamless, and memorable experience, thanks to Sue Ellen. We received countless compliments from our guests about how stunning and well-organised everything was. It was clear that her dedication and passion for her work played a significant role in making our wedding day perfect!”

Balances the couple’s unique priorities

“Sue Ellen is a true superstar event planner. When my husband and I began thinking about wedding planning, I knew we were in for a unique challenge: we were planning a wedding in Montreal but lived in the US, we had guests from about 15 different countries and we both come from (different) cultures that are tough when it comes to wedding traditions and standards. Sue was our superhero! Not only did she adapt and find excellent solutions to our unique challenges, but she also made sure our wedding was absolutely stunning, expertly organised and functioning as seamlessly as a Swiss watch. She almost instantly understood which planning aspects each of us prioritised and always kept those elements in focus. For example, my husband was all about maintaining a budget and cost database (and he was very into the flowers, which, thanks to Superhero Sue, every single person in attendance was in awe of). In my case, I didn’t even know what vision I had for the wedding until Sue helped me figure out what I really wanted and then executed it flawlessly. Our Superhero Sue created our super unique pink wedding with a book AND cat theme while incorporating elements from Italian and Lebanese cultures and ensuring the food was exquisite and all our international and local guests were taken care of throughout the weekend. We could not have asked for a better wedding planner than Superhero Sue, who not only gave us our dream wedding, but was happy to do it even on her own birthday!”

3. EM Events

Location: 8170 Chem. Devonshire, Mont-Royal

Contact: +1 514-889-1116

Operating hours: 

• Monday to Friday – 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM

Website

We’ve seen firsthand why EM Events, led by Emilie, has become a go-to for luxury weddings in Montreal. With over eight years in the business, she has mastered the art of turning her clients’ visions into reality. 

The Full Coordination package is a lifesaver for couples who just don’t have the time or energy to plan everything themselves. EM Events takes charge from start to finish, allowing you to enjoy the process stress-free. 

What truly sets Emilie apart is her calm yet professional demeanor, which helps clients even during those chaotic wedding moments. 

This commitment to excellence is evident in the rave reviews from couples who say she consistently exceeds expectations. Her success is supported by a team that includes one head coordinator and two to three assistants to handle the day.

However, we have to mention that EM Events is known for luxury, so premium pricing comes with the territory. Still, the ease of booking through their website makes the whole process seamless.

Works tirelessly to ensure the wedding day is seamless

“I highly recommend EmEvents! I inquired their services to help me create the wedding of my dreams! Both Emily and Sam are great listeners and hard workers. They pay attention to detail and will not stop until the job is done.  Wedding planning is very stressful, and as a very involved bride, I was very pleased that Emily,  Sam and their team were able to make my experience a 10/10 with their impeccable service. I trusted them 100 percent and they exceeded my expectations! My wedding was one of a kind. Emily kept everything on a schedule, nothing was missing or out of place. The entire day rolled smoothly. Even if there was a hiccup on my end, they made it come together flawlessly without notice. They are the absolute best planners in Canada. I cannot get over how beautiful everything came together. Their touch is like no other.Thank you girls! With love, Kayla George”

4. Foudamour

Contact: You may contact them here

Operating hours: 

• Monday to Friday – 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM

Website

Foudamour has been making waves since 2015, and it’s easy to see why. Their weddings are a beautiful mix of timeless elegance and bold, modern touches that are always centred around the couple’s unique story. 

Of their two popular packages – The Lover and The Soul Mate – it’s The Soul Mate package that really caught our attention. 

It covers everything, from choosing the ceremony and reception site to designing invitations and coordinating with suppliers. They even handle the wedding day’s nitty-gritty details and supervise the disassembly afterwards.

We also like how upfront they are with their rates, starting at $16,150. While it might be a bit steep for some, the transparency is refreshing. 

Another aspect worth mentioning is their blog, which is packed with great insights and ideas. And yes, you can easily book through their website, making things super convenient.

Balances the big picture with meticulous attention to detail

“Melanie was the best wedding planner we could have asked for. Not only was she organised, professional, and at the top of the wedding planning game, she is also a fun-loving person. She was able to see the big picture, but also get super granular and specific with the details. The result was a wedding that flowed with joy and love! Everyone asked us who our wedding planner was and we just can’t believe our luck that we went with Foudamour. I would highly recommend Melanie at Foudamour to any couple getting married. Words cannot express how grateful my husband and I are to have had the best possible experience.”

Chantal Stafford-Abbott, Google Review

Makes the entire experience feel like a beautiful adventure

“We had the chance to plan our wedding with Mélanie. We are speechless, it was exceptional! Melanie was able to accompany us through the process by gently advising us. We were in complete confidence on our wedding day, despite the disastrous temperature she was able to make plan B more than magnificent. We only have wonderful memories! Melanie is EXTRA organised, great attention to detail and an eye for perfection. We had a perfect wedding and it’s 100% thanks to her. We highly recommend her! We are very happy to have shared these moments with you. Thank you for this great adventure, we are grateful to you.”

5. Events by Cece

Contact: +1 514-585-5360

Operating hours: 

• Monday to Thursday – 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
• Friday- 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM

Website

Events by Cece adds a refreshing, minimalist touch to weddings and events by creating timeless, elegant designs without the excess. We really admire how they take the couple’s vision and blend it with their own expertise to create something unique and memorable.

Their Full Planning package is perfect for anyone wanting to let go of the stress, as Cece and her team take care of every detail from start to finish. 

Alternatively, the Design and Coordination package caters to couples who need assistance with final touches, vendor management, and crafting a flawless design. 

What really caught our eye is their in-house floral service. It ensures that every bouquet and arrangement fits seamlessly with your day. 

And their destination weddings? The options for Italy and Greece bring a whole new level of sophistication.

However, we did come across a few reviews mentioning unexpected budget overruns, so it’s important to keep a close eye on finances along the way.

Delivers unmatched creativity and attention to detail

“Jenn and her team worked with us and planned 3 different wedding dates during covid. We finally had our wedding in May 2022. Jenn was so kind and patient in helping us navigate those crazy times. She orchestrated our night from start to finish perfectly; from the designing the space to the florals and coordinating with our other venders.  Her attention to detail and creativity is unmatched. We highly recommend Events by cece. Thank you for everything. Leah and Zach.”

Leah Shepherd, Google Review

Creates an enjoyable and smooth experience

“Jenn and her team were wonderful to work with! She was very efficient and constantly kept us in the loop with all the moving pieces. This was a destination wedding for us, and we felt relaxed leading up to the day and during the wedding day. Stephanie was also so wonderful to work with from the team. Her positivity really shines through and makes everything feel comfortable. We would recommend working with Jenn and look forward to seeing all the future weddings she produces!”
