LOVE NOTES

It's very difficult to briefly summarize the role that Sonia and her team played during our wedding. I had a very difficult year, and just months before my wedding, I tragically lost a family member. Initially, we almost cancelled everything. All vendors were notified, outfit production was halted, and it was a good few weeks before we could consider moving forward. I had big dreams and detailed aspirations for this wedding and having lost that momentum and moving forward in grief, I was so grateful that I had a driven visionary like Sonia by my side. She could see that I was not one to take "no" for an answer and if you've met Sonia, you know that she is a fighter who can take the reins and act on behalf of even the messiest, most heartbroken, yet big-dreaming brides (ie. me). If you need her over the phone, she's there. Need her help with a vendor? She's the best meeting mediator. Need a full meeting to discuss the wedding that almost didn't happen, but still needs to be everything? Cappuccinos in the gorgeous yet serene Shangri-La should help remind you what you're still capable of. 

The way Sonia came through for us during wedding week itself was quite literally the only reason all of my wedding photos and footage look like a dream. It's because of her, that my family was by my side instead of being busy running the show. The Chic team is the reason that the bridal party and the bride and groom actually ate that scrumptious wedding lunch and made it to the photoshoot. It is because of them, that the bridal party enjoyed cocktail hour at Bellevue Manor, and that every entrance was perfectly timed and coordinated. They were there to ensure the décor and stationery were just as we asked while the families focused on getting ready, and they made this nervous, overwhelmed, wreck of a bride and groom look like they had somehow orchestrated a set of gorgeously detailed events effortlessly. 

Sonia was the first vendor deposit I placed. Yes, the *first*. I knew I wanted details and that I would need help, but I also wanted my family and friends to be able to enjoy themselves, so booking my Wedding Coordinator was at the top of my list. I could have never imagined what the following year would bring, and just how much that one decision to hire Chic Events, in particular, would affect my entire wedding. Trust me, you can get away with compromising on so many other elements of your wedding budget but making room for the Chic Team and letting them in on your special day is priceless and irreplaceable. Every single one of them was so kind, so sweet, and so caring. We honestly couldn't have asked for more.

We got Sonia to coordinate our wedding last April. From the first consultation, we could tell that Sonia knew her stuff and I was anxious to have her be part of our wedding. We both had a lot of DIY ideas and big visions of what we wanted but very unsure of how to bring it all together. Sonia handled it all- meeting with our vendors and coordinating schedules with them, meetings with family members, bridal party members and of course, being there to support us whenever things got overwhelming.

On the day of the wedding, we were BLOWN AWAY at what an incredible job she did with the coordination and the décor. Everything came together more beautifully than we could have imagined. My bridesmaids called her "the Olivia Pope of weddings" (for any Scandal fans out there). We highly recommend Sonia for your wedding planning needs!! She's works hard and is fantastic at what she does!

When we started to plan our Pop Up GTA event, we knew we need help in the 6ix! After searching and speaking with a few event planners, we knew that Chic Events by Sonia was exactly what we were looking for! Planning an event all the way across the country can be daunting but Sonia worked with us so well, and kept us in the loop every step of the way! We actually never met until the day of the event and we were blown away! From her amazing team, to her keen eye for detail - if you are looking for a Chic event, Sonia is your girl! -Pink Orchid Studios, Vancouver.

I was honestly so happy with everything the team did for me and Puneet throughout the entire process for the wedding and reception. We felt super well taken care of and we knew if there was any issues we could rely on you completely. You were reliable and super fast at responding and resolving issues which made us feel even more comfortable. My family and in-laws felt everything ran so smoothly and it was worth every penny. Thank you again for making this special time so much more beautiful and smooth with your help!

Wow. I can’t believe it’s over. Thank you for EVERYTHING. The new concepts you brought in, the decor elements you suggested such as stationary, centerpieces etc. You helped us bring a dead eastern Washington to life by making our vision a reality!! People are literally shook Sonia I kid you not. Everyone was left speechless by the food, decor, atmosphere just everything. Even the gurdwara committee was impressed by how beautiful everything was and how we maintained all levels of respect throughout the ceremony considering the number of people that showed up.

Thank you so so much for coordinating the wedding and reception. Everything went so smoothly and it just kept us sane and at ease during the most important days. You and your team executed everything flawlessly and we didn't have to worry about anything. Also, we are so glad that you guys were able to execute the rain plan for the wedding day without any problems! I didn't even have to worry I was just like oh Sonia will take care of it. You guys handled all the vendors without our help, it honestly felt amazing to not have to think about contacting vendors during that week. Our parents also felt at ease with you guys there, they didn't feel like they needed to do anything, they were able to be free and mingle with their guests!

We are pleased to inform you that you were excellent at your job from start to finish for my daughter's wedding on August 19th. We loved how meticulous you were in preparations and suggestions and the very fact that you were there for us every step of the two important days. Your demeanor was classy, polished and pleasant. Intact that's the reason I picked you the very first time I met you. Your guidance through the stressful days was much needed and made our occasion seamless. I simply enjoyed my daughter's wedding after handing over the logistics to you. I have already suggested your name to my friends.

We had the pleasure to work with Sonia and her team for our wedding weekend august 4th and 5th. The chic team were very professional and caring. They went above and beyond expectations for a day of coordination. the process started weeks before and assisted us each step of the way. they did a great job keeping everything in order and executed anytime there was any mishaps. We loved their personable approach and their dedication to us during such an important event in our lives.
