MACKAY WEDDINGS & EVENTS
Specializing in elegant, stress-free, personalized affairs.
Can we share something with you? A well-planned event might begin with pinning inspirational photos to a Pinterest board, but it certainly doesn’t end there. The process of bringing your ideas to life in a meaningful, personal way can be exhausting and overwhelming…which is why we’re here. As your trusted planner, we’ll work countless hours to arrange and execute every last detail so that your occasion will rival even the most elegant pictures on social media. Here’s how it works.
OUR PLANNING PROCESS
Our event planning process is structured to ensure your special occasion is peaceful and enjoyable. From conceptualization to execution and all the details in-between, we will be your greatest confidante and guide you every step of the way. Most importantly, we want you to feel excited about the planning journey and confident that with MacKay Weddings & Events by your side, you are exactly where you need to be. These are the steps we’ll take to make it happen!
01
DISCUSSING THE DETAILS
After receiving your inquiry, we will set up an appointment to go over your vision, expectations, and any decisions you’ve already made related to your special day. This initial meeting will help us determine if full service or day-of coordination best suits you. A custom proposal will follow. Once you’ve decided to move forward, the real fun begins!
02
DESIGNING THE DAY
Next, we’ll devise a custom-tailored plan that covers all the details related to your occasion, including timelines, budgets, weekend or day-of itineraries, rehearsal plans, emergency plans, and—our favourite part—the look and feel you want to achieve. When it’s time to explore decor, you’ll be treated to our in-house inventory filled with chandeliers, lounge seating, custom bars, and more.
03
DELIVERING THE DREAM
Have you ever entered a venue and thought, “Wow, this is stunning.” This is the way we want you to feel on your big day…and we know we’ve succeeded when your eyes light up after seeing your vision come to life for the first time. The spine-tingling energy of the “first look” is what drives us creatively and keeps us going during 15-hour shifts, and we’re deeply committed to ensuring each one of our clients experiences this moment for themselves.
“[MacKay] Wedding [Events] goes far beyond your expectations. [Their] dedication to ensuring that your event is both beautiful and elegant far surpasses what I have seen from others and they will exceed the expectations…every time.”

“From the initial meeting to the day of the wedding, our experience dealing with Pam was extremely enjoyable which made planning our wedding day far less stressful and much more enjoyable. We were able to turn the vision we had for our venue into reality and Pam’s willingness to customize pieces (such as our table cloths which she sewed by hand as you couldn’t simply buy the style we wanted) made the venue feel more personable.”
