Expérience fantastique: Amanda and Lexine are single handedly responsible for the stress free wedding day that my husband and I were able to enjoy. We spent a year planning our day and Captivating Occasions was right there to provide guidance all along the way. The spreadsheet that these two put together to keep our wedding day on track was so appreciated by not only us but all our vendors. Amanda and Lexine ran our rehearsal, set up our decor, ran our wedding day and came back late in the evening to take everything down and pack up. As the Bride and Groom we truly didn't have to worry about a thing all day and not to mention our parents and bridal party were also able to fully enjoy the day. Amanda and Lexine created a group chat with us and were available for questions leading up to the wedding, and also sent us a bunch of behind the scenes pictures and videos from the day of which was an unexpected surprise. We would recommend these two for any event!

Expérience fantastique: I recently had the pleasure of working with Captivating Occasion, owned by the talented duo Amanda and Lexine, to organize a whimsical picnic party for our family, friends and kids, and I can’t rave enough about the experience! From the moment we contacted them, Amanda and Lexine were incredibly responsive and attentive to our needs. They took the time to understand our vision and preferences, ensuring that every detail was tailored to our family’s style. On the day of the event, they transformed a simple indoor space into a magical picnic setting that felt both enchanting and inviting. The decorations were stunning—think vibrant colors, lush blankets, and charming centerpieces that delighted both the kids and adults alike. The food was equally impressive, featuring a delightful array of treats that catered to both picky eaters and adventurous palates. Every bite was delicious, and the presentation was top-notch. What truly set Captivating Occasion apart was their commitment to making the day special for our kids.

Expérience fantastique: Amanda & Lexine are absolutely wonderful and helped us organize the perfect day. Even though we are in Toronto, they were always willing to hop on a call to discuss the details ahead of the wedding day. On the day, they were absolute experts and knew exactly how to have everyone in the right place. They even saved us food from the cocktail hour that we weren't able to make it to. Having them as our wedding coordinators was one of the best choices we made!

Expérience fantastique: Cannot recommend Captivating Occasions enough! We hired Lexine and Amanda as our day of coordinators and they made everything before and during our wedding so fun and so much less stressful.

Expérience fantastique: We used Amanda and Lexine as month-of coordinators for our fusion South Asian wedding (half Bangladeshi/half South Indian) and let me tell you that they are the DREAM team! We interviewed around a dozen coordinators and instantly knew that we wanted to go with them from how authentic they were on day 0. Their prices are incredibly reasonable, they went above and beyond in coordinating with our vendors, and always made sure they had clear and timely communication. On the day of and as mother nature would have it, there were some things that inevitably went wrong (for example: our massive seating chart got carried by the wind and a corner of it broke off before the guests arrived) but the team made sure that everything was fixed in a jiffy and before we even noticed. Their presence on the day of the wedding was truly a game changer for a nervous and overly anxious bride like myself. Their patience in dealing with my hundreds of questions and "did we make sure that..." was something I'll never forget on a truly special day. RUN don't walk to booking these ladies!!

Expérience fantastique: From initial contact to day of event, everything was seamless! Worked directly with Amanda for a bridal shower picnic. The set-up was absolutely beautiful and complimented by everyone. Amanda listened and helped with the ideas; they captured exactly what we envisioned and was very pleasant to deal with.

It was so easy to coordinate all the details we wanted included in our picnic and we loved being able to just show up and not have to worry about anything. The package included a photoshoot and the pictures we received were beautiful! We will definitely be booking another picnic for a special occasion in the future.

Expérience fantastique: They are no words to describe how perfect our wedding picnic was. Amanda made my dreams come true and then some. We could not have envisioned a better experience.

We were thrilled to have them with us the entire way, and support us on our big day!

Expérience fantastique: Lexine and Amanda did an incredible job coordinating our wedding! Their organization and communication skills are top notch. They perfectly executed any specifications we asked for, and took initiative to fill in the gaps on things that we weren't as specific about and did so beautiful (eg decor details). Highly recommend them not only for the wedding day, but for the rehearsal dinner also - they gave tips and advice to our whole wedding party that wouldn't have even crossed my mind to touch on. Truly worth every penny - thank you both for keeping our day stress-free! :)

Expérience fantastique: Amanda and Lexine did the set-up/tear-down for my wedding and I couldn't have asked for better service. They were able to cater their services to exactly what I needed. They were professional, thorough, and very kind.

Expérience fantastique: These guys are the best wedding coordinators we could have asked for. We are the most scatter brained humans and throwing a wedding was NOT our forte. They kept everything organized, on track, and even saved moments like needing a sewing kit TWICE during our wedding day. This is an expense I would not over look if you're planning a wedding as having these guys in your back pocket was absolutely 1,000,000x worth it. Plus having them do the set up is a huge savior. Thank you guys so much!!

Expérience fantastique: Amanda & Lexine were invaluable in the month leading up to our dream wedding celebration. They were always flexible in finding time to connect and make sure we were all on the same page. Their coordination of both the rehearsal dinner and wedding was absolutely perfect, and even though we didn't end up needing it, it was reassuring to know they had backup plans for various weather. Thanks to their hard work, we were truly able to relax and enjoy the wonderful moments of our wedding without distraction. We highly recommend Captivating Occasions Inc. for anyone looking to enjoy their wedding with the least amount of stress possible! - Ally & Mark

Expérience fantastique: Amanda and Lexine were exactly what we were looking for when we started to plan our wedding. They were very attentive, easy to work with, and very professional. My family and friends were very impressed with their coordination and work during our wedding day. They both have ensured that we were worry free during the day, and that me and my now husband were taken care of throughout the day. The small things didn't go unnoticed - from making sure we were hydrated, that my hair was in place, to even cleaning off sand from my shoes! They were both constantly checking we got what we need and that we were okay. I was very hesitant to get wedding day coordinators, but I am so happy that I did and that I went with these adorable, very hardworking sisters! It was money that was very well spent.

Expérience fantastique: Love Love Love these gals! There is truely nothing that they cannot do! Truck broke down on your wedding day? They will honestly be under the hood fixing it & with pure positivity the entire time! The suprise me everytime we work together with just how vast their knowledge & skill set is! Plus you'll want them to be your new best friends!

Expérience fantastique: Worked with Amanda last year to create a surprise proposal for my at-the-time girlfriend (now wife), and it absolutely exceeded our expectations! My wife had won an Instagram contest last summer from them for a free luxury catered picnic, and they were so accommodating to let my wife believe she was the one planning the ordeal, while I was really the one organizing it and planning with Amanda haha. It worked out great, she was so suprised, the food was amazing and the layout was beautiful! Highly recommend their service.

Expérience fantastique: When I started talking to the girls on Instagram, I was very well attended, so I felt safe trusting them to organize the picnic on my 40th birthday, which I hoped would be a milestone. When I arrived at the picnic, I was impressed with the zeal they had in preparing my long-awaited day for me. The food was super fresh and delicious, the photos were amazing and I cannot fail to say that their joy and attention to you was enchanting. So, with all this I can't not say that I became a fan of their work!!!
