Calgary wedding planner

A Calgary wedding planner for couples who care how the day feels.

Creative Weddings Planning & Design is a full-service wedding planning and design studio based in Calgary, Alberta. For almost two decades I've planned city weddings — downtown ballrooms, modern lofts, private acreages — for couples who want a beautiful day and a guest experience people talk about for years.

Calgary venues we plan

The city, in every version you can imagine.

Downtown hotels & ballrooms

Fairmont Palliser, The Westley, Hotel Arts and the new BMO Centre Brand Room — polished, central and easy for out-of-town guests.

Modern city venues

Civic On Third, Studio Bell, The Dorian and industrial spaces that suit couples who want something unmistakably current.

Country & acreage

Willow Lane Barn, Archway Manor and private estates within an hour of the city, for the open-sky version of a Calgary wedding.

How we plan a Calgary wedding

Full planning, from the first venue tour to the last song.

01

Venue & date strategy

We shortlist venues against your guest count, budget and the guest experience you want, then negotiate the contract.

02

Design direction

One cohesive concept — florals, lighting, tablescape, stationery and flow — documented so every vendor builds the same wedding.

03

Vendor curation

A curated team of Calgary photographers, florists, bands and caterers I've worked beside for years, matched to your budget.

04

Wedding day production

A detailed production schedule and an on-site team, so not a single question reaches you on the day.

“I truly believe I wouldn't have had the wedding of my dreams if it weren't for Cathy, and I will never be able to repay her for that, as it was such a magical day. We believe Cathy will be the best investment you make in planning your wedding and we cannot recommend her or her team enough. Thank you Cathy, Muriel and everyone else at Creative Weddings for making our day perfect!
