Toronto Wedding Planners Who Design With Intention

Tips & Education

If you’re in the throes of wedding planning, you’ve probably come across celebrations built around spectacle — grand installations, packed timelines, moments designed to impress. But what about the weddings built around meaning? Many of the Toronto wedding planners featured here approach planning with this same sense of intention — designing celebrations that feel grounded, thoughtful, and deeply personal.

As a Toronto wedding photographer, I have come to learn a lot of things, one being the wedding planners that I’m always drawn to are the ones who design with intention. They prioritize experience over excess, flow over formality, and emotion over performance. Their work considers not just how a wedding looks, but how it feels to move through it — to gather, to connect, and to remember it years later.

Having worked alongside many of these planners, and collaborating with others in thoughtful, design-forward settings, I’ve seen firsthand how intentional planning shapes a wedding day in ways that linger long after the wedding day ends.

Toronto Wedding Planners Designing With Intention

Planned by Pippa

Planned by Pippa approaches weddings with a deep respect for pacing, tradition, and guest experience. At Spencer and Daniel’s wedding at the University Club of Toronto, everything unfolded with a quiet confidence — from the flow of the day to the way the room transformed as evening set in. Her work allows emotion and design to coexist without competition, creating celebrations that feel considered, grounded, and timeless.

Codey Erin Events

Codey Erin Events is known for blending refined design with an intuitive understanding of family dynamics. At Rachel Ann and Allan’s wedding at Graydon Hall Manor, their planning created space for both grandeur and intimacy — a balance that’s difficult to achieve well. The result was a day that felt elevated without being stiff, emotional without being overwhelming.

Events by Jules

Events by Jules brings a thoughtful, design-led approach to weddings that value atmosphere over excess. At Masha and Jonah’s celebration at The CAPE, her planning leaned into restraint — allowing space, light, and texture to do the heavy lifting. Her work is a reminder that intention often shows up most clearly when things are scaled back with confidence. Working alongside Toronto wedding planners who prioritize experience over excess has shaped how I see weddings unfold from start to finish.

A Lush Affair

A Lush Affair is known for creating weddings that feel immersive and beautifully executed from start to finish. At Jenna and Broidy’s celebration at Second Floor Events — recently featured in Carats & Cake — every detail felt purposeful and well-paced. Their ability to manage scale while maintaining warmth makes their events feel polished, never performative.

Clement & Co.

Clement & Co. designs weddings with a strong sense of narrative — where setting, guest experience, and design are in conversation with one another. With two weddings planned together this year, including one at the Four Seasons Hotel Toronto and another on a private estate (their specialty), their work reflects a comfort with both formal luxury and deeply personal environments. There’s an ease to how their events unfold, even at scale.

August in Bloom

Sara from August in Bloom approaches planning through an editorial lens, with a focus on mood, composition, and storytelling. With a creative collaboration planned at The University Club of Toronto, their work consistently prioritizes visual cohesion and intentional restraint. They design celebrations that feel artful and modern, without losing sight of the people at the center of them.

Saluti Designs

Dana from Saluti Designs creates weddings that feel stylish, expressive, and deeply aligned with their clients’ worlds. With a creative collaboration planned this spring, her work stands out for its confident use of colour, texture, and form — always grounded in a strong point of view with strong European influence. Their clientele values design that feels personal and elevated, and it shows in every celebration produced.

Intentional planning has a way of shaping not just how a wedding looks, but how it’s remembered. When experience, flow, and care lead the process, the celebration holds its meaning long after the day itself has passed.
