There’s something incredible about a flawlessly executed event that is overflowing with stunning details, perfectly timed moments, and a distinct sense of personality.  As a designer, I draw inspiration from your story, the city you live in, your home decor, and entertaining style.  I love to create the perfect blend of all these things, to craft a wedding that is beautiful, innovative, and highly personal. It is out of these obsessions, that I created French Kiss Events back in 2010, and I couldn’t be more proud of what it has become and our incredible team.

We are here to take away the stress that often accompanies wedding planning.  We take care of all the scheduling, paperwork, emails and phone calls so you don’t have to.  We laugh with you, find inspiration with you, and allow you to enjoy the planning process, as well as your special day. Because that is truly, what it is all about.

Personally, my favourite time of day is morning, when I get to share a big cup of coffee alongside my handsome husband (and daughter playing in the background). His support is a huge reason for my success as a wedding planner, and he continues to inspire me daily. I am constantly finding excuses to celebrate around the home, and “elevate the everyday”. Life is such an incredible gift, and I can’t think of a better way to stay inspired, than to keep celebrating it!

 


Working with Barb was akin to having a fairy godmother. She truly made our wedding dreams come true. Barb is incredibly adept at understanding a vision, and translating that vision—however vague—into a beautiful reality. With the vendors she recommended, the advice she provided, the overall plan and design — she helped us realize every detail of our wedding, and delivered exactly what we wanted with a high degree of care and professionalism. We were so pleased with everyone she connected us with — it really felt like we had a dream team of vendors, and there’s no way we could have brought them all together ourselves. All aspects of our wedding were thoroughly planned out, and on the day of, both us were able to fully enjoy and take in the day with our family and friends. I’d highly recommend Barb — working with her meant a stress-free wedding day and it was definitely one of the best decisions for us.
