Devoted To You Inc.: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Carmen was recommended to us as she had coordinated two of our relatives’ weddings. And for good reason! Carmen and Queenie were a key part in making sure our wedding day went smoothly (which included sewing me into my dress after the clasp broke). We had contracted Carmen for month-of coordination, but appreciated that she reached out to us before then to make sure that all the key parts were in place so that we weren’t stressed out a month prior. Carmen and Queenie made a crazy busy day worry-free for us!
Fantastic experience: An absolute dream wedding planner — beyond anything we could have imagined! Planning a destination wedding in Ravello, Italy felt overwhelming at first, but from the very beginning, Carmen made the entire experience feel effortless, joyful, and truly special. She planned our two-day celebration — a welcome dinner and our wedding day — and every single detail was executed to absolute perfection. From the initial planning stages to the final moments, Carmen demonstrated an extraordinary level of professionalism, creativity, and care. She deeply understood our vision and elevated it beyond what we could have ever imagined — blending elegance, romance, and the magic of the Amalfi Coast so seamlessly. The welcome dinner was warm, intimate, and beautifully styled, setting the perfect tone for the weekend. Our wedding day was nothing short of breathtaking — every moment flowed effortlessly, every vendor worked in harmony, and every detail felt intentional and refined. We were able to be fully present and soak in every second, knowing everything was completely under control. What truly sets Carmen apart is her calm presence, impeccable taste, and genuine dedication to her couples. She made us feel supported and confident every step of the way, even with the little hiccups that came up. Her strong vendor relationships and impeccable organization made what could have been stressful feel genuinely enjoyable. Our guests are still talking about how magical and well-orchestrated the entire weekend was — many said it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever attended. If you are considering a destination wedding in Italy (or anywhere!), Carmen is truly one of a kind. She doesn’t just plan weddings — she creates unforgettable experiences. We are endlessly grateful and would recommend her without any hesitation.
Fantastic experience: I'm so grateful to Carmen and Queenie! I spoke to many coordinators before I spoke to them; it was immediately obvious that they were perfect for us when we had our first call with them because they were so informative and understanding from the start. Each interaction left us confident that we chose the right people to coordinate our big day. They were extremely thorough and thoughtful, asked many questions along the way, and they carefully + perfectly executed every unique detail exactly the way we wanted it, and they were impressively reactive on the day to make sure that things were going smoothly. I'm sure a lot of people are reluctant to get coordinators because they're not sure they're worth the money, but I have zero regrets having spent money on their services, especially considering the peace of mind that we had on our day. Thank you Carmen and Queenie!
Fantastic experience: We are endlessly grateful for Carmen, our amazing wedding planner, who has been with us since day one of our planning journey. From the moment we met her, she took the time to truly understand who we were as a couple and what mattered most to us. She helped us find our perfect venue, guided us through choosing the right caterer, and supported us in booking every vendor we needed. No matter how big or small the detail, she was always there—organized, attentive, and genuinely excited to bring our vision to life. Carmen also genuinely listened to our concerns about our elderly grandparents and guests with disabilities. She made sure every decision—from accessibility considerations to seating plans—took their comfort and safety into account. Knowing she was paying such close attention to those details gave us so much peace of mind throughout the process. When our wedding day finally arrived, Carmen—and her amazing assistant, Cindy—made the entire day flow effortlessly. Every moment felt seamless, and we were able to fully enjoy ourselves knowing they were behind the scenes ensuring everything went perfectly. Their calm energy, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond meant the world to us. We truly could not have done this without Carmen. She turned what could have been a stressful process into something joyful and memorable. If you want someone who listens, cares, and brings your dream wedding to life with grace and professionalism, Carmen is the planner you need. We cannot recommend her highly enough. J&J
Fantastic experience: I just want to start off by emphasizing that hiring Carmen was ultimately “the best” wedding decision. Amongst the planners I was considering, I hired Carmen as my month of planner. From the beginning, Carmen gave off a pleasant, calming and kind vibe. That was everything I needed as the quick to stress, SUPER type A bride to be. Carmen spoke very eloquently throughout the interview, it was easy to feel her professionalism. She was never pushy and she was not calculating. Somehow she came off as someone whom I can reach out to without feeling like a bother because she gave off a “devoted” to her brides feeling. I hired Carmen more than a month before my wedding, and even though I hired Carmen as month of, Carmen made an effort to start a google doc with us to help us stay organized and in the loop the whole time. Staying organized is absolutely necessary when wedding planning as it can be very easily overwhelming. Carmen also made the effort to reach out a few times throughout the year to check to see if I hit any road blocks. She truly listened tentatively to all my concerns. She offered her opinions and suggested some solutions each time. I also messaged her a few times to ask questions at which Carmen always answered in a timely manner. Even when Carmen was busy with her destination wedding, with a different time zone, she made an effort to tend to my crazy stresses, but in a very friendly way. Talking to her was like talking to a good friend. She will politely call me out on my impractical dreams. But, she’s not one to judge, neither is she one to imply her own suggestions on me. You could feel that she just wants your wedding to work out. She repetitively reminds you that the day will be beautiful and each time I end a conversation with Carmen, it’s always with a smile and I am reminded that I am in good hands. These seldom checkups made me feel better at my own progress but also helped calm me because I knew there was someone just a text, phone or video call away. Comes the month of my wedding, Carmen really picked up her pace with following up. We further analyzed the wedding google doc and itineraries. She filled in the blanks where was necessary. She raised concerns where we would have easily missed without her expertise. She personally reached out to all our vendors and made sure everyone was updated on the itineraries. Then of course, when issues were raised, she dealt with them and found her own solutions. For example, I hired someone to professionally put together a champagne tower for me because I’ve heard and seen too many horrific outcomes. However, due to my very detailed decor, vendors needed to arrive at certain time during the wedding day. Turns out the time originally booked is not the time required now. The concern never caused me any extra stress as Carmen took care of all the concerns and also somehow managed to assemble the tower herself and the whole champagne tower flowed beautifully. She listened to my concerns of worrying about having any flutes break on my wedding day. She and her team worked together to distribute them, collect them, move the champagne tower table to a safe place after the pour. It all happened so seamlessly, the table was in front of the sweetheart table, I did not even notice when it was moved out of the way. On the day of my wedding, I must say that’s when I totally 110% felt grateful for Carmen. She respectfully and efficiently dealt with all the issues that came up. She handled it with grace, a smile always and kindness. She also managed last minute changes and I felt she made magic happen for me on my wedding day. It allowed my wedding day to flow seamlessly and allowed the easy to stress girl I am to enjoy the day with my husband and loved ones. It would not have been the same without Carmen. Carmen was truly a dream to work with. She’s a beautiful person and the bestest planner. Thank you Carmen for EVERYTHING, like i said to you before, I could never thank you enough.
Fantastic experience: I have had the opportunity to work with Carmen and Devoted to You on a number of corporate events and charity galas. If you are working with Carmen you are working with a consummate professional who is patient, detail oriented, and incredibly thoughtful. I have truly appreciated Carmen's ability to listen carefully to client needs and requests, respond effectively and creatively, and always with elegance, kindness and utmost professionalism. Her expertise in luxury dream weddings seamlessly translates into creating corporate events that are beautifully executed and consider all angles of guest and host experiences. I cannot recommend her enough!!!
Fantastic experience: Carmen is the ultimate wedding planner in Toronto. She took the time to really understand what me and my new husband were going for and our wedding day was truly special to us and our guests. Thank you Carmen for all of your efforts!
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with Carmen & Queenie as our month-of-coordinators. Even before the month before the wedding, we were able to ask questions and get advice as we worked through the planning process. The month-of, they helped plan the schedule and smoothly coordinate with all the vendors we booked. They also helped sort out a lot of the small details that we never would have thought about and really showed their expertise. The day of ran really smoothly and it was really amazing to see everything we planned brought to life by Carmen and all the vendors. All our guests said that everything was well-paced and felt really smooth and organized. It was really nice being completely hands off and not stressed so we could just focus on the moment together and with our families and friends.
Fantastic experience: Carmen was our event planner for our grand opening and I can't thank her enough. She took all the stress away days before and the day of the opening. From helping us finding the ideal vendors to coordinating the day to make it seamless and effortless with all the vendors it made the day so much more special. Thanks so much Carmen for all your help! Appreciate every moment.
Fantastic experience: We can't thank Carmen enough for making our Lake Como wedding absolutely magical. From the very beginning, she helped us build an incredible team of vendors that were professional, talented and a joy to work with. Carmen also planned our welcome dinner at Chalet Gabriele located in Bellagio where our guests experienced breathtaking views and local Italian food before the big day. Carmen is incredibly organized, patient, responsive and experienced in the wedding industry. Throughout the wedding planning process she answered all of our questions, provided her recommendations and had great ideas to create an unforgettable experience for us and our guests. She handled every detail with total professionalism and care and truly went above and beyond. Thanks to Carmen, our wedding was not only beautiful, but also completely stress-free. She handled everything seamlessly, allowing us to be present and enjoy our special day. It's clear that Carmen puts her heart into every aspect of her work. We are truly grateful and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner!
Fantastic experience: When we got engaged the first vendor we hired was a wedding planner. Carmen and her team took care of all the details for two ceremonies (one destination and one here in Toronto). She made sure every detail was taken care of. The events were executed with military precision. The decor looked amazing. We were able to relax and enjoy our day knowing that Carmen had everything taken care of.
Fantastic experience: We consulted Carmen for a small event - she was most helpful and had excellent suggestions due to her fine taste and knowledge of planning and venues. She helped us with pros and cons of options we were contemplating for our venues. Merci, Carmen, et bonne chance !
Fantastic experience: We are incredibly grateful to Carmen and her team for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. Before we began planning, all our married friends insisted that hiring a wedding planner was the best decision they made, and now we understand why. From the very first meeting with Carmen, I knew we had found the right person to help bring our vision to life. Her experience with our venue was invaluable, and we loved how she seamlessly coordinated our traditional Chinese tea ceremony. As the wedding day approached, Carmen scheduled increasingly frequent meetings and provided us with incredibly helpful tools, checklists, and guidance to ensure everything was covered. She was always flexible, accommodating evening and weekend meetings, and was consistently responsive and professional. We appreciated how involved she was throughout the process, including vendor meetings, where she asked insightful questions that we hadn't even thought of ourselves. A special thank you also goes to Queenie, who was fantastic in keeping everything on track, answering questions promptly, and making last-minute changes to our seating plan with grace and efficiency. We couldn't have asked for a better support system. On the day of the wedding, Carmen’s assistant was wonderful as well, and it was clear that Carmen, Queenie, and the assistant worked seamlessly together, communicating effortlessly to ensure everything went smoothly. We highly recommend Carmen and her team to anyone looking for a seamless, stress-free wedding planning experience!
Fantastic experience: We hired Carmen over a year ago when we wanted to do a destination wedding. Over the past year, Carmen has been amazing at listening to our questions and concerns, helping us find vendors and places that were within our vision, as well as, within our budget. She was also very experienced and reminded us of details and information that we wouldn't have thought of if we didn't have her with us. We ended up choosing Hawaii as our destination wedding which isn't her usual stomping grounds. However, Carmen was very effective at connecting with local vendors and providing us a lot of attractive options, for the wedding venue, welcome party and general ideas on how the wedding trip would flow (e.g. preparing welcome bags, procure random items for the wedding, coordinating the videography sessions, etc.). Carmen was also very patient with us and calmly guided us through the process when the planning started getting overwhelming. Despite not being able to see or visit the venue and set up beforehand, Carmen stayed on top of everything. The whole event, including the welcome party, the wedding ceremony and reception, were beautiful and things just happened seamlessly, thanks to Carmen. At the end of the night, she even helped us save some mementos from the night which we totally forgot as we were inebriated and had a moment of regret the next morning. We've been to many weddings, but objectively speaking, this one was the best one! My husband and I could not have been happier. Thank you so much Carmen, truly appreciate all that you have done for us!
Fantastic experience: Where do I begin…. Carmen was the best decision we made during our wedding planning process. Her expertise helped us create the wedding of our dreams. She is well connected and has many vendors that she has worked with many times that she recommended to us which helped so much especially considering how indecisive we are. Darren and I really appreciated the level of care and detail. Carmen would remember the smallest little details I would share with her! She was patient and attentive even when we bombarded her with questions and requests. Thank you so much Carmen for all your hard work during our wedding planning process and making sure our vision came to reality! We cannot thank you enough.
Fantastic experience: Carmen is definitely one of the best wedding and event planners in Ontario. She is very detail oriented, with gorgeous ideas and artistic sense, and provides the best quality solutions to her clients. Anyone looking for high-quality weddin and event planner should choose Devoted to You Inc.
Fantastic experience: Carmen was an absolute joy to work with! About a month after getting engaged, my (now) wife and I began researching and interviewing wedding planners. Four to five planners in, they all started to sound the same, but what stood out to us about Carmen was that we felt *heard*. We knew immediately that she would help make our vision a reality, and when we hit walls, provided us with inspiration without dictating what to do. Throughout the entire process, she was communicative and extremely flexible with our schedule and requests. She routinely responded in a timely manner - even at odd hours of the night - which gave us confidence that she was hard at work for us and her other clients! She coordinated with all our vendors seamlessly (photographer, videographer, MC, officiant, florist, hair/makeup, live music, wedding cake, venue). Even a last minute request (literally 2 days before our wedding) was accounted for and communicated to the relevant parties without a hitch. On the big day, we never thought we would ever say this but the day of the wedding was a breeze! Carmen and her assistants, Queenie and Vanessa were attentive, thoughtful and provided reassurance with multiple check-ins the entire 10+ hours that we were with them. They handled literally everything: from ensuring that all events were going as scheduled to ensuring we stayed hydrated during the blazing hot July afternoon. Vanessa also made sure that my wife ate throughout her getting ready which was much appreciated! All of the criteria we established for our wedding were met (or exceeded!) and all we really had to worry about was greeting our guests and looking good for photos. If you are looking for an efficient, professional, and all-around amazing wedding planner, just hire Carmen. It will be the best (and easiest) decision you’ll make for your wedding.
Thank you so much Eric and Michelle for your kindest review! It was a lovely pleasure working with you both!
Fantastic experience: Carmen planned both my wedding and baby shower, I can’t express enough my gratitude for her attention to detail, amazing eye for design, and best service I could ever ask for! She’s so well connected in the industry and helped me find the best vendors in Toronto. I hope one day to do a 10 year anniversary/destination celebration with her too!!
Fantastic experience: As soon as I was engaged, the first vendor I wanted to book was a wedding planner. At the time I was working full time from home and taking care of a toddler. I had absolutely no time in between to plan a wedding! I googled the best wedding planners in Toronto, and Devoted To You came up. Little did I know, I was actually following Carmen on Instagram because I casually stumbled upon her page, before I got engaged, what a coincidence! I knew following her on Instagram was a good idea. I contacted Carmen, filled out her client forms, and she was extremely responsive to schedule a meeting in person and talk about her services and potentially book with her. Thankfully this was a time after businesses were slowly opening from covid - 19 restrictions. Of course I booked with her, and had no doubt she’d be an asset during the wedding planning process. She immediately started working on finding wedding venues for my now husband and I to see, and booking times to tour. She was there at every venue tour, which I greatly appreciated because she asked questions which I myself wouldn’t have thought of. We found our dream venue, and I was extremely happy to know that she had planned at our venue before. After venue shopping, she kept me on track with booking vendors, and provided extensive options for hair, makeup, videographers, and photographers, DJ’s, florists, etc . Carmen was able to recommend vendors at different costs which suited our budget. She did not force us to book with the “most expensive” vendors, and gave great insight on areas we can save. She coordinated all the meetings with the potential vendors, ensured we were comfortable with the vendor we booked, and even encouraged us to think on vendors for a while before we made our decision. The wedding planning process was extremely enjoyable from start to finish, by having Carmen by my side. The month before, as expected, was extremely busy for us, but she took control with confirming ALL the vendors, and coordinating final meetings and reminder payments for us. On the day of the wedding, I felt absolute bliss. I placed all my trust in Carmen, and that gave me the peace I had during the day. I met her assistant, Queenie, who was an absolute sweetheart, and Sarah who was also extremely sweet, whom I met at the venue. There was not a time during the wedding day, that I had doubted Carmen’s abilities to make the day run smoothly. I was able to be in the moment of my wedding day, take it all in, and enjoy the day seamlessly. Carmen’s ability to implement immediate changes to make the day seem as if there were no changes, was extremely impressive. That validated the reason why I hired her and why I would hire her again.
Fantastic experience: Carmen is an incredible wedding planner. Thanks to her hard work, our wedding was a dream! Carmen’s network of top-notch vendors made the process smooth and cost-effective. We had an amazing team of vendors that made our dreams a reality. I had a request for a specific type of videographer last minute. She was able to tab into her network and find the exact person we were looking for. I also wanted to do unique designs that combine both Eastern and Western elements. Carmen helped me find the right vendors and kept us on-track throughout the planning process. On the big day, everything went off without a hitch thanks to her flawless execution. On the day of our wedding, Carmen handled any issues discreetly and efficiently. My husband and I were able to fully enjoy ourselves. Her passion for her work truly shines through, and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner!
Fantastic experience: There are not enough words to show how thankful I am to Carmen and her team. We booked Carmen for a month in coordinator and it was the best decision I could have ever made! Prior to booking Carmen I felt as though I already had everything in place. All my vendors were already booked, and we were just working through the fine details of the schedule. Though when she came in, she turned my world upside down and it was 100% for the better. There were so many wedding detail nuisances that I did not consider and this is where her team absolutely shined. Carmen coordinated with all my vendors so that everything was good to go for the wedding day. She was the point of contact for a special surprise for the groom and the guests that went off without a hitch and I couldn't have been more pleased. She held meetings with my videographer and photographer as well as my wedding party to ensure everyone was on the same page. And created a very detailed and thoughtfully scheduled itinerary to ensure the day ran smoothly. Just to name a few of the many things she did for us. Though the one thing that truly validated my decison in book ling Carmen was how I felt on my wedding day! I was able to truly enjoy the day with my husband. Knowing that I had a team that knew the schedule and knew what needed to be done, took a big load off my shoulders. This allowed the both of us to be present and really enjoy our day and you cannot put a price on that! Thank you, Carmen, and your devotedtoyou team. We are forever grateful! 10/10 highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Carmen planned our recent wedding at Casa loma and working with her was a dream. She was patient, kind, hardworking and on top of everything. She was able to think of details that we would've missed if we planned the wedding ourselves. It is obvious that Carmen has tons of expertise as a wedding planner. She is also very pleasant to work with and a very generous gift giver! Leading up to the big day, Carmen met with us weekly and made sure all vendors were communicated with and kept in the loop. All last minute surprises and emergencies were handled smoothly by Carmen. Our wedding day went more smoothly than we ever could've imagined and our grand vision was perfectly executed. Thank you again Carmen for everything, we couldn't have done it without you!!!
Fantastic experience: Carmen is amazing! She pulled off the mission impossible for our destination wedding in Jamaica given the size of the party and complexity of our wedding during Covid. We are super grateful for all the extra mile, the above and beyond she is willing to go for her clients - including (and not limited to) dragging our heavy bulky wedding stuff with her in an extra checked bag to Jamaica a few days in advance so that she could help lighten our luggages. Because of her diligence and thorough planning, the wedding week (3 events she planned) went smoothly without a hiccup! You should give Carmen a shout if you are looking for someone who truly cares about making your special day come true!
Fantastic experience: We had Devoted to You as our month of coordination, and Carmen was absolutely fantastic! She came in and took charge, handling all the final vendor communication, organizing the stationery, and coordinating everything on our big day. I recommend her to any couple like us who planned most of the wedding ourselves but needed a pro to make sure things ran smoothly. Our wedding was an afternoon brunch that wrapped up by 3 pm because the venue had another booking right after. But thanks to Carmen, we were able to squeeze in some extra photos before we had to leave as Carmen helped us pack all of our stuff in advance! She even made sure I didn't go hungry or thirsty amidst the craziness of the day. I seriously can't thank her enough and can't even imagine how things would've turned out without her! Highly recommend her to any couple out there!
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for someone who is responsive, responsible, and who will work hard to make sure no details are overlooked, you will not regret bringing Carmen on to be your wedding or event planner. We hired Carmen to be our wedding planner immediately after our civil ceremony back in October 2020. Fast forward two years, two delays, and one baby later, Carmen delivered a spectacular wedding celebration with our family and friends in the summer of 2022. Throughout the two years leading up to the celebration, Carmen kept in touch with us and kept my husband and I on track with all the elements that required attention and progression. I am especially grateful that Carmen was able to introduce amazing vendors across a variety of price points during the process, it is so important as budget begin to accumulate that you have a trusted advisor to guide you through vendor selection and helping manage expectations for the quality of service at various price points. Overall - Carmen is someone that I trust wholeheartedly during the wedding planning process and I had zero ounce of doubt that Carmen and her team would come through to deliver the wedding of my dreams. I would recommend Carmen to all the brides out there looking for a partner in wedding planning!
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much, Carmen & Queenie! Carmen and Queenie are all excellent, kind, professional, attentive, and on point, answering emails, calls, changes and concerns. You all made my wedding beautiful and more than what I expected!
Fantastic experience: We worked with Carmen on our summer 2022 wedding which hosted 170 guests at the Steam Whistle Brewery. We went with the full planning package and are so glad we did, Carmen and her team played a huge role in the planning of the wedding. We really appreciated her experience and insights on how to navigate the various options (as with this venue, everything is basically being it on yourself, so lots of decisions to make!) and on how to make it as seamless as possible. With so much demand for anything wedding related post-COVID, Carmen helped us understand all our options and what things we should focus on and which would have the biggest impact on guest experience. My wife had a very specific vision for the day and Carmen really made all the pieces fall into place perfectly. She was always available and willing to go the extra-mile to make things easier on us. On our wedding day, Carmen and her team were instrumental in coordinating all the different parties and in making the day as stress free as possible. My wife is English and I am Chinese born Canadian and it was important that our wedding incorporated aspects from both cultures. Carmen did a great job helping us navigate the various traditions and norms, and guests from all backgrounds really enjoyed the wedding. We were especially grateful for her help with the tea ceremony, which was intimate and beautiful. Carmen was even kind enough to help get decorations, the tea-set and help my wife find a Chinese wedding dress. We have received so many compliments on our wedding from our friends and family and are so grateful to have had the pleasure of working with Carmen. Thanks Carmen and team!
Fantastic experience: We hired Carmen for our 2022 wedding. We met with three wedding planners before deciding to go with Carmen due to her immense experience. We initially were looking for partial planning but decided to go with the full planning service. Carmen is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to wedding planning, from vendors to organization to family dynamics. Carmen gave us so many great recommendations on venues and vendors based on the style we were looking for and our budget. She had great relationships with the vendors and I believe that that added to the smoothness of our wedding. Prior to the day, she developed a written out plan with notes and directions on what would be happening. She took us through the plan and answered any questions that we had. She also reassured us about the day. On the day of, she was well prepared with her assistant and addressed any issues that came up. She was very attentive and present. I highly recommend Carmen! She's the best in the business.
Fantastic experience: I can't imagine our wedding without Joanna by our side every step of the way. She made our lives so much easier and ensured everything turned out perfectly! Also, she ensured that we had so much fun along the way. Joanna is one of the absolute hardest working people I've met. If you are considering Joanna, stop your search right now and just set an appointment with her. Planning a wedding is so stressful so having the right people in your corner is essential. You definitely want Joanna in your corner for your wedding.
Fantastic experience: We met with 2 other wedding planners and ultimately decided on Carmen because of experience and the connection we felt. Thankful for that connection because COVID delayed our wedding 1.5 years and Carmen was incredible in re-booking / re-organizing the wedding twice. Initially, I was against a wedding planner. "I have planned parties before, how hard can this be?" Having been through it now, I am thankful that we got Carmen. There are so many details involved and decisions to make, that I would not have thought of. Carmen was always available for any questions that my wife and I had. Carmen also has cultivated strong relationships with key wedding vendors (photographer, videographer, florist/decor etc) and was able leverage those relationships to help us achieve my wife's dream wedding. We have since referred Carmen to two other couples that were extremely pleased with their weddings as well. If you are getting married: 1. Get a wedding planner / day of coordinator at the very least. 2. Hire Carmen. We are incredibly grateful for Carmen's hardwork to make our wedding a success.
Fantastic experience: We hired Carmen to help organize our backyard wedding during COVID-19. She did a great job and was able to organize the tea ceremony as well. A backyard wedding has an incredible amount of unforeseen logistics and she was able to manage everything. She introduced us to an amazing designer/florist (Nous Design) and cater (Elle Cuisine).
Fantastic experience: My partner and I want to thank Carmen for her services. She was helpful and although we went in another direction, she was reasonable and we can tell that she's diligent. Out of her recommendations, please be careful of Konrad Czystowski of Freshsox - a videographer. He's tried to take advantage of us during this pandemic. When we let him know that our wedding would be cancelled, he tried to raise our rate by a significant amount. His terms are also not customer friendly, we worked with Carmen to negotiate his rate. We do not recommend giving too much money and make the mistake that we did, which was provide 50%/$2500 deposit. Also initially, he wanted us to pay the full balance 10. days before the wedding, before seeing his work, so we negotiated to pay him after we receive the product. These were all signs that Konrad didn't think about the customer, but we looked the other way. Carmen was helpful in the negotiation, but we just wish we didn't meet Konrad. We didn't know what we were getting ourselves into. He seemed reputable, but had no reviews, now it's really come back to bite us as he's holding onto our full deposit and is now ignoring us or communicating erratically. Konrad hasn't followed his own contract, which says he should return our money if he can't perform due to an Act of God, so now we have had to spend extra time and money to retrieve what we are rightfully owed. Therefore it is really important to us that we share our experience. Although Carmen was helpful, this is one recommendation if she ever provides to watch out for.
Fantastic experience: Truly professional
Fantastic experience: I have worked with Carmen many times on Weddings and Photoshoots, she is a true professional at what she does and she is very personable and organized. I've seen her handle Wedding Planning with ease and be there to serve her Couples to ensure their Happiness on their Wedding Day! I can honestly recommend Carmen for your own Wedding or Special Event!
Fantastic experience: I first worked with Carmen at the Palais Royale for a wedding. The couple hired us separately (Carmen as the wedding planner, me as the MC and DJ). As soon as I met her, I knew she was an expert in her field. She was incredibly organized, would give me the heads up for each main part of the event, cued me at the right time, ensured I had all I needed, prepared all speakers before they had to speak, and made the event seamless. I was so impressed. She's also a genuinely nice and kind person. I am always so happy when we work together because I know I can rely on her as an event planner and I can concentrate on my role as a DJ and MC. Keep up the great work Carmen!
Fantastic experience: We initially found Devoted to You (DTY) through Instagram but quickly learned about Carmen through our friends who raved about her services, so we hired her as our month-of coordinator and for a few design consulting hours! Drawing from her personal and professional experiences, Carmen was instrumental in helping us make key decisions for our 200-guest, Chinese wedding, and was a great joy to work with. She was very professional, detail-oriented, and flexible in her communication style, which we very much appreciated as I was travelling for work and had to manage different time zones. Her bilingualism was also a huge asset, not to mention her sewing skills (which came in handy when a button popped off my dress on the day-of)! Carmen can really do it all. Since the wedding, we have become friends and have also recommended her to a handful of our own friends with great confidence that she will be able to deliver on her promises. Many thanks to Carmen and her DTY team – we love you!!
Fantastic experience: Carmen was the BEST!!! My twin sister and I had a double reception with one wedding on the Friday and a second wedding on Saturday, which made for a very, very busy wedding weekend! Carmen was so incredibly amazing to work with. Her knowledge of the business was phenomenal. She was so bubbly and sweet no matter how hectic things got. She was so detailed oriented and thought of all the little things that wouldn't have even crossed our minds. She was great at keeping us all on track and has a way of getting things done without ever feeling pushy, rushed or frustrated, even when we were lazy! She understood our vision from the get go, especially the importance of blending the three families and working with all the different wants/needs. She was extremely responsive, at all hours of the night... its hard to believe she ever sleeps. We can confidently say without Carmen this wedding would have never come together. I will be recommending her to anyone I know getting married now or 20 yrs from now! We are beyond grateful for the time we spent working with her, the beautiful wedding that came of it but more than anything we are thankful for the friendship we ultimately developed with her. Don't think twice about who you want your wedding planner to be! There is no one better! Nikita & Angel
Fantastic experience: I first met Carmen for coffee when I was looking for a wedding planner for my husband and I. Carmen came extremely prepared, with a beautifully assembled package and her iPad to show me her past work. From speaking to Carmen for the first time, I knew that she was the most amazing wedding planner, as she exuded passion for her work and love for her clients. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, as there is so many details involved and decisions to make, but Carmen made all of them easy for us. Carmen was extremely attentive to our needs and always went out of her way to be there for my husband and I throughout the process of planning our wedding. There was never a meeting that Carmen did not miss and did not provide her guidance and expertise. Carmen always made herself available to be there for my husband and I and to support us with patience and compassion. To highlight an example, Carmen booked a hotel room the night before our wedding just to ensure that she was there for us if there was anything we needed. If you are looking to hire a wedding planner, I strongly recommend you hire Carmen. Not only does Carmen have years of experience in the wedding industry, she has strong connections to other key vendors that will be integral for your wedding day. Carmen, with the help of her team, truly made our dream wedding come to life! We are so grateful for all that Carmen did for us and we wish her nothing but success and happiness planning more amazing weddings to come!
Fantastic experience: My husband and I would like to take the time to acknowledge Carmen for everything she's done for us for our wedding in June this year. We enlisted Carmen as our full time wedding planner and we highly recommend her. She is professional, prompt, and highly experienced. We had a traditional Chinese tea ceremony on our wedding day and she took great care in planning it and also in making sure it went smoothly on the day of. She even brought her own tea set! We didn't worry about anything on our wedding day and that is something that is invaluable to us. Furthermore, her fees are very reasonable, considering she's poured countless hours into our wedding and you can tell she truly cares. Not to mention, the vendor discounts and promotions that we received because of her connections in the industry substantially makes her fees worth it. If you are contemplating hiring Carmen as your wedding planner, just do it, you wont regret it!
Fantastic experience: Carmen has been a life-saver during our wedding planning phase. Without her, our vision would not have been executed so flawlessly. She made the whole process very easy and enjoyable. Carmen is very professional and extremely pleasant to work with. She helped us from the beginning right until the last second of our wedding. She is efficient, professional, and quick. She was very patient with us and was super accommodating to my and my husband's busy schedules. She has great vendor connections. I would definitely recommend her to everyone I know who are getting married. She is super sweet and we will keep in touch and work with her with our other event planning needs.
Fantastic experience: Our daughter used Carmen from Devoted to You Inc as her wedding planner. She was absolutely amazing at rolling out the perfect wedding. Her attention to detail was impeccable and service outstanding. If you choose Carmen, you are choosing the best!
Fantastic experience: I was thrilled to work with Carmen from Devoted To You for my recent book launch party. She helped me find creative ways to stay on budget and was instrumental in making sure that we were prepared for the event. She thought of everything and made sure all the details were taken care of so I could enjoy the party with all of my guests. Everyone had a fantastic time and I couldn't have been happier!
Fantastic experience: Carmen was everything we had asked for. Extremely professional and experienced, and was able to be creative with our budget. Carmen thought of every detail and our wedding was executed perfectly. She made our wedding very enjoyable for us and our guests and it was truly a memorable night. We are happy that we went with her as our wedding planner!
Fantastic experience: Carmen exceeded my expectations. From my first initial meeting with her, she was warm, stylish, professional while also making you feel really comfortable. She came prepared with everything you would expect and more (with cute folders too!), we hit it off and after that I knew she would be my planner. During the process, she really made it as smooth as possible. Being in interior design and operations myself I was used to noticing the fine details of everything! However she would make me feel at ease and would be on top of everything (including answering my 17 question emails!). Although the services I agreed with only allowed a few meetings and phone calls, there was no limit with Carmen. She would always assist and try to help with any requests and always went above and beyond. After the whole process, I would like to think of Carmen as a friend. She keeps in touch and doesn't just drop you like other vendors would after your services have been fulfilled. Oh and she is fluent in Chinese! That was a bonus for me as she could communicate with my parents and really knew the Chinese wedding traditions. On the day of my wedding, everything went so smoothly, I honestly didn't have to bat an eye and everything turned out perfect! We were on schedule, everything was set up exactly the way I want, etc. She literally made my dream come true and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a planner!
Fantastic experience: We are so glad that we have Carmen as our wedding planner. She is so organized, patient, well prepared, and elegant. She got a lot of resources which could help you in any way for your wedding. We had a little accident during my wedding date and she had an emergency sewing kits to fix my popped suit button. Life saver! My wife appreciated Carmen's effort and great support for the wedding and that helped my wife release a lot of stresses. We highly recommended Devoted to You. If you already booked with Carmen, you are lucky and this is a definitely correct choice. Carmen is more than a wedding planner. She is our friend now :) Good luck to everyone for your wedding
Fantastic experience: Carmen dedicated 2 years in planning the absolute perfect wedding for myself & my husband! Carmen assisted us from the very beginning of our planning, always keeping us on budget, and bringing our dream wedding to reality. Carmen was always professional, informative, organized, and extremely responsive – I worked shift hours and was able to keep a strong correspondence with Carmen. She also associates herself with amazing vendors. In search for vendors, she was receptive to my interests and overall vision. She customized a team, I could not fathom any more perfect, for my style and of course, budget. Her mantra was to always share a personal connection with the individuals you work with. I felt that connection between her and I, and was pleasantly surprised that she also surrounded herself with vendors that appreciate the same connection. Carmen's warmth shows through from the moment you meet her and we quickly realized how lucky we were to have someone who was not only efficient and professional but truly cared about us as a newly couple. Her day of execution was no exception - as if she could get any better – our wedding day was absolutely flawless! We had various Macedonian traditions that were incorporated into our day and these traditions were done in a timely manner, without stress or worry, and thoroughly enjoyed by all guests. With a busy day, comprised of many “must-haves,” Carmen was able to accommodate all of my wishes with a smile. She truly means the world to myself, my mother, and my husband. We are lost for words in describing the amount of love and effort Carmen showed us during this process, but especially the day of our wedding. We had guests take the time to compliment how well organized, fun, stress-free, and “perfect” the day was because of Carmen and her team. Carmen offers you the very best in the wedding business but she also offers a personal connection you will not find with another planner. She is more than just a planner to us, she is family. If you are looking for someone to share the most memorable day of your life with, trust Carmen and her team, she will exceed all of your expectations.
Fantastic experience: We found Carmen on Wedding Wire, where her profile caught our eye with high customer ratings and awesome reviews. I remember the first time when we met, she was willing to drive all the way from the suburb to Toronto downtown where we live. Basically she makes efforts for customer convenience. That means a lot! During the first meeting, she was very patient with us, answering our questions and concerns, already giving advice for our wedding and making us feel less anxious, all before we had even signed her as our coordinator! We did not have this level of attention from any other wedding planner we had interviewed, and made our decision very quickly and easily. She always came to our meetings well prepared and with good suggestions. Carmen is someone that you can count on fully. She has a lot of good vendor referrals and is very good at coordinating with them, even fixing their mistakes. Our wedding went extremely smoothly and felt perfect to us! That shows Carmen’s high work standards and professionalism! Carmen is also a very stylish person. I think in order to have the customer trust the wedding coordinator’s taste/opinion, the coordinator should have good taste on their own look first. Just saying!! She’s so beautiful and well dressed all the time! :) Lastly, Carmen was an amazing wedding planner and now is a good friend of ours. You will never go wrong if choosing her to make your dream wedding come true!
Fantastic experience: Carmen and her team were extremely helpful, from before, to during, and after the wedding! Carmen helped me create a day of timeline, followed up with all the vendors, and offered a lot of tips and suggestions throughout the planning process. Our wedding day went very smoothly, and I had many family and friends comment on how fun and well planned the wedding was! Carmen is always quick to respond, and she even followed up with us after the wedding to make sure everything went the way we wanted them to. Very pleasant to work with, thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Carmen Luk is amazing. My wife and I procrastinated so long that we ended up 1 1/2 month before our wedding reception without anything done yet. Carmen kicked into high gear and made the impossible happen. On the day of she was on top of everything so that we didn't have to worry. We are grateful for her help and definitely recommend her.
Fantastic experience: Carmen is amazing! She is exceptionally organized, professional, detail oriented, responsive, and is always going above and beyond to deliver. We hired Carmen for organizing our destination wedding in Cancun. From our initial consultation, we were already impressed by her understanding of our vision and her ability to recall all the details of the meeting. Throughout a year of planning, Carmen organized numerous touchpoints and is always eager to share her new ideas. She also managed a very detailed expense spreadsheet to keep us up to date on our wedding budget. On the days leading up to the wedding, Carmen took a lot off our plates by dealing with a few troublesome vendors to let us focus on final preparations. On top of planning for the wedding day itself, Carmen also helped us plan an excursion for our guests and a separate photoshoot day. On the day of the wedding, Carmen was instrumental in making the day go perfectly. While we were busy doing photoshoots, Carmen was behind the scenes coordinating with our resort planner and vendors to ensure the decorations, reception, and entertainment go as planned. My husband and I would wholeheartedly recommend Carmen and Devoted to You.
Fantastic experience: Hiring Carmen was one of the best decisions we made when it came to planning for our wedding. She is exceptionally dedicated, organized, and thorough, with great attention to detail. She is an excellent communicator and worked well with sometimes challenging vendors. Even my demanding parents thought she was amazing!! Most importantly, Carmen was able to understand our vision for the wedding (even if we could never truly articulate it!) and, with her team, was able to help us have a perfect wedding day. We could not have had a better planner and friend. We would highly recommend Carmen without hesitation.
Fantastic experience: Carmen from Devoted to You was our wedding planner (we chose the day-of package, which means she gets involved a few weeks before the wedding), and right off the bat I can tell you that she was fantastic. Even for someone as organized as I am, it is just not possible to be a bride (and enjoy your day) and execute your own wedding, so hiring a wedding planner, especially Carmen, was money well spent. Not only did she execute the day of the wedding seamlessly, but she was also full of vendor recommendations (that are on budget, and even last minute) and wedding advice in general, always making herself available. She was never overbearing and always respected our vision and opinions (and handled my opinionated relatives very well!), yet still managed to steer us away from making wrong choices. Carmen attended our wedding tasting, and held a number of ad hoc meetings with us and our vendors to ensure all the details were in place. She is VERY organized – her day of itinerary was broken out into 15 minute intervals! I certainly appreciated that since this reflects her dedication to the bride and groom’s vision. The week before the wedding she organized all the vendor contracts and contacted each vendor to ensure they were ready to go. We did not want to do a rehearsal, but Carmen came out on her own time to one of our pre-wedding events to ensure that she had a chance to talk to the entire wedding party in case they had any questions and to review the itinerary. On the day of she started bright and early, did the bridal party coffee run and picked up our lunch, in addition to ensuring that all the vendors were doing what they were supposed to be doing…and she also ran around with a glass of water with a straw to ensure I was hydrated throughout the day. Her assistant, Katilyn, was lovely as well. Both of them did such a great job and were a pleasure to work with. Even my family and my other wedding vendors commented on their professionalism and work ethic. I recommend Carmen and her team at Devoted to You wholeheartedly – they will make sure that your day is special and executed even better than you imagined!
Fantastic experience: My husband and I would highly recommend Carmen Luk and her team at Devoted To You for her wedding planning and coordination services. Carmen went well beyond her scope of duty to ensure that we had a seamless and memorable day. Prior to the wedding, she met with the two of us on a number of occasions to understand what we wanted in our perfect day and help plan it. Knowing our MC was a bit nervous, she even met with him to ensure he was comfortable. She would always be prepared at these meetings with a plan of action as well as extra print outs for what was needed to be done. Carmen would also try to make herself available when it came to meeting with vendors (although she was not required to). Most importantly, she would be up front with us on costs of certain vendors and whether there were too many activities that would run over time. Carmen and her team assisted throughout the planning process from the recommendation and selection of vendors, to the coordination with the hotel and the set-up. In the lead up to the wedding, Carmen was always very responsive and quick to address any concerns we had. Despite having a cultural wedding with over 300 people, Carmen provided us with a detailed schedule and ensured the whole wedding party was on time. She was extremely helpful particularly with the logistics as we had many different events throughout the day (door games, tea ceremony, church ceremony, reception, dinner, etc). From the start of day when she arrived at 6am to prep the bridesmaids for the makeup artists to the dinner reception, Carmen and her team were very professional and would be helpful wherever possible and no matter how small the task. Her team even assisted me in my numerous outfit changes during the evening! Carmen is also respectful to parents/ relatives and was able to communicate to them in Cantonese and Mandarin which was a huge plus for us. Being a bit of a bridezilla who is a perfectionist, I was truly impressed with Carmen's work. She truly goes above and beyond to make everything perfect and everyone happy. We can't thank Carmen and her team enough for helping us with our wedding. We look forward to having them plan our future events :)
Fantastic experience: Carmen and her team are very exceptional, they are much needed and they deliver their job with absolute devotion and formality, I'm very happy with the detailed result of my wedding, everybody enjoyed the event because it was fluid and well organized. Thank you CARMEN!! You made of my wedding a dream come true!! ...
Fantastic experience: We first chose Carmen as our wedding planner mainly because of her bilingual (Chinese and English) as my mom doesn't speak very good English. Her professionalism and attention to details pleasantly surprised us throughout our wedding planning process. Carmen recommended us lots of great vendors (from florist, photographer to dance instructor) within our budget. We had over 120 guests in our wedding at the Carlu. The entire event was organized perfectly down to the details. Many guests told me (later) that they thought the event was very well organized. We cannot ask for a better wedding!
Fantastic experience: Working with Carmen and her team was an absolute pleasure. Carmen is very personable and we fee like we made a new friend through the process. She makes a genuine effort to always be involved and will follow through on any task or idea you may have interest in. Probably the best testimony we can give is that we were near stress-free. Throughout the planning process and even on the big day, friends and family commented on how we were the most relaxed couple they'd ever seen. Carmen and her team are very thorough with their planning. All of our initial concerns with budget, headcount (300) and day of scheduling were quickly washed away. Our challenges with the final reception vision; every suggestion, idea and referral shared by Carmen was spot on. Even the small uncontrollable mishaps we had on the wedding day became more entertaining than worrisome. We were very lucky to find someone we could trust completely with our wedding. We are very happy to say that our wedding was exactly what we wanted and we were able to enjoy every minute of it.
Fantastic experience: Carmen made our dream wedding come true!! As two individuals with very busy working schedules and the added challenge of planning a wedding out of town, Carmen was an exceptional in helping us every step along the way. Her main strength is her impeccable work ethic - she is ALWAYS available - whenever and wherever you need her. We were so assured during the planning process knowing that she is keeping us on track and that we can always go to her for anything. Carmen listens to our suggestions, and tries to tailor to our specific needs, vision, and budget. Not to mention, she is a great problem solver when we come across inevitable glitches in the process. She was also perfect for communicating with our Chinese family and incorporating our culture into the wedding. And finally, on the big day, we were able to enjoy every moment of it and not stress one bit because we knew Carmen and her team was taking care of everything else. Our wedding was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. Thank you Carmen for everything!
Fantastic experience: Carmen was an excellent Wedding Planner for our wedding. We use her month off coordination service because we wanted to do most of the decision making ourself and just want a professional planner to keep us on track and take all the stress off of the Wedding Day. We meet with 5 different wedding planners and found that Carmen was the perfect match for us. Her professionalism and experience with Chinese and all other style of wedding was key to why we choose her. We connected together right away from our first meeting. Carmen understand our vison and gave us valuable advice and recommendations to make our wedding perfect. On our Wedding Day, we had door games, tea ceremony for both Parents, afternoon Photo, actual ceremony than Reception. Because of Carmen and Gloria the day went extremely smooth and on schedule with all activity we packed in. We would recommend Carmen and Devoted to You to any newly engaged couples looking to plan the perfect wedding. One recommendation is to start your planning 9-12 months before your wedding day. Ella & Sam
Fantastic experience: Thanks Carmen for being our wedding planner for the month of our wedding! Your support and help was very much appreciated, especially on the day of wedding, you kept us honest to our timeline and made sure every aspect of the schedule ran efficiently and on time. As the bride, it means a lot to not stress out on the day of wedding, and you definitely helped me feel at ease – I didn't have to worry about vendors and managing the schedule, I knew it was in your capable hands. Your team including Gloria is amazing to work with! She was with me during the entire time at Graydon Hall Manor during wedding pictures helping me with my bouquet and veil – amazing personal detailed service! Leading up to the wedding as we were completing the finishing touches and tying the vision together you helped in attending meetings and provided established vendor contacts, thank you for your recommendations, it made a difference! And more importantly, to any bride and groom, time is of the essence, you were always very responsive and quick to respond to all of our texts and emails. Your professionalism really stood out! During the wedding rehearsal, you were informative and provided all the important details for the entire bridal party including the parents. Again, awesome job! It was a pleasure having you as our wedding planner! Thanks for making our wedding run so smoothly – we heard so many praises and amazing compliments from all our guests, some hashtag it "best wedding ever" – thanks for being part of this special celebration! Michelle & Badan
Fantastic experience: I don't have enough kind words to express our gratitude towards Carmen and her team, Kate & Gloria. Our wedding planner quit 3 months before our destination wedding and left us in the dark but Kate and Gloria turned it all around. They were always there to help us and really put us first. Professional, smart, hard-working, amazing women that genuinely love and care about what they do. I'd recommend Devoted to You Inc in a heart beat.
Fantastic experience: Having planned a couple weddings before where I was in the wedding party, I knew when it came to my own, on the day-of I wanted to sit, back relax and just enjoy myself. That's why I booked Devoted To You for their Month of Coordination services. Since I don't live in Toronto, we did our meetings over skype and they came up with some great questions and suggestions I hadn't thought of on my own. The day of the wedding I was completely relaxed and just enjoyed every second of our wedding knowing that Carmen and Kate were taking care of all the nitty gritty details behind the scene and making sure everything ran smoothly. It was the best decision we made to hire them for our wedding! I know some couples go back and forth on whether to invest the money on coordinators because they think they can just do it themselves...but trust me, it's worth every penny because it allows YOU to actually be present and enjoy your special day!
Fantastic experience: Carmen was amazing! Punctual, organized, and thoughtful. I got to enjoy my day thanks to her and her team. She always responds to emails ASAP, brings copies of itineraries to go over at every meeting, and has great vendor connections that helped to pull my day together according to my vision and within my budget. The actual day of she was everywhere behind the scenes making things happen so I didn't have to worry about a thing - including unexpected spats with parking vendors, communicating with the venue staff, coordinating with the MC & DJ, etc. etc. She helped us with so much translation work on our Chinese/English invites too and proofread the copy because we're Chinese-illiterate CBCs. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Carmen has been extremely thoughtful during the whole wedding planning process, she has made the tedious and scary process organised and easy. First and foremost, Carmen is extremely passionate about what she does and bringing joy to her friends. Here I used 'friends' instead of 'clients' because my wife and I really felt being in great hands of a long time friend. Planning for a wedding, after first hand experience, is extremely difficult and nerve wrecking, and to us, the feeling of having an experienced friend looking out for us was paramount. Secondly, organisation and experience. Our understanding of the wedding planning was this big unmanageable mess, but since Carmen was an such outstanding seasoned veteran, she offered detailed plan and timeline, and executed on point, so we never felt behind or rushed along the way. We always had plenty time at each step to review all details, which allowed us to make great decisions on every aspect of our wedding. Third, representation and budgeting. Carmen accompanied us throughout the entire 6 months. She was not only there with us at every important meeting with vendors, wedding venue, etc, she represented our best interest. She was always the first to voice our concern on our behalf at any situation that arose. In addition, she always tried her best to negotiate the best deal for us for the most value returned, hence how we stayed within budget :D Last but not least, close connections to great vendors. Not only was Carmen a pleasure to work with, all vendors she introduced for DJ, music band, designer, decoration, were passionate groups of utter most professionalism. Every part of our wedding was surreal because we were in unbelievable hands. From photographer, to band, to DJ, to designing, we owe our hugely successful wedding to the lovely and extremely responsible vendors with whom Carmen had put us in contact with. Huge thanks and nothing but love for Carmen, best wedding planner in T.dot!
Fantastic experience: Carmen is undeniably passionate about her work. She is hard working, thoughtful, and will take the extra step to plan through your wedding experience. For us, Carmen was the right choice to plan our destination wedding in Florence. With experience planning many destination weddings, not to mention her own (also in Florence!), her expertise and reliable local counterpart made her a great team to work with. Always happy to go back to the drawing board, she provided lots (and I mean LOTS) of options to work with, for venues and vendors. Carmen was able to very thoroughly plan the requirements for each vendor we dealt with and would work around the clock to suit Italy time. In particular, she was able to nail our floral decor requirements, including coordinating a mock up of our main harvest table which took many iterations to ensure our design would be executed as planned. Thanks Carmen for all your help and support!
Fantastic experience: Carmen and her team are amazing. Upon my first consultation I knew Carmen was passionate about providing exceptional service. Devoted to you exceeded my expectations. Carmen and Kaitlyn were responsive and kept me on track. Having them there on my wedding day enabled me to relax and enjoy my day. They took care of every single detail to ensure that my day was perfect. Thank you Kaitlyn and Carmen for enabling me to create memories that I will cherish for a lifetime. I would certainly recommend Devoted to You Inc. to any bride. It's well worth the investment.
Fantastic experience: Devoted to you always responds to you in a very timely manner, even across several timezones, as in our case. They will be able to plan your wedding efficiently and thoroughly even if you're not in Toronto, and/or if the wedding is not in Toronto. Carmen was with us every step of the way and took care of a lot of things that you'd rather not have to pay attention to on your big day. Couldn't have asked for better!
Fantastic experience: My planner Carmen and her team are amazing! I will definitely recommend this vendor to my friends. My planner is professional, caring, style and detail focused. It was a great experience working with her! Thanks to her we had a well prepared and organized wedding!
