    When Kate and Trevor decided to get married in Fairmont Hot Springs I did not know how I would manage to organize everything. I looked on the internet and your "Lucky in Love" site popped up. From the first time I called you I felt that you were the expert.

    Within minutes of my call it was evident that you were "the Planner" we needed.  The Bella Vista community hall was a perfect spot to have the wedding.

    Without your help we would have been making so many phone calls and worrying about all the details. You arranged for everything in a matter of a couple weeks. The bride and bride's maids hair, the caterer, the food was just what the couple asked for. The cake was delicious! The photographer took some awesome photos. And the flowers were wonderful. Andy, the wedding official added some charm to the ceremony. The hall was perfect and the decorations you did were beautiful.  I cannot tell you how much stress you relieved from me.

    Katie and Trevor were ecstatic with how well it all went.  We really cannot thank you enough and I appreciate all the extras that you did. The care and attention you took and the reassurance you gave us that the day would be perfect. We were Lucky to find Lucky in Love...I would recommend you to anyone I knew that was getting married in the valley..It was fun to go to the different vendors in Invermere and find connections with the folks that were doing the various wedding jobs.

    We have been going to the valley since 1984 and our children loved spending part of their summers there. We really felt like we were part of the community. Thank you for making Kate and Trevor's day so special...  Steph - Mother of the Bride

    Leanne was fantastic to work with for planning our wedding. She was a great resource for recommending vendors for all aspects of our wedding. She is creative and understanding and has great ideas for the ceremony through to the reception. She was always there to answer emails and take the stress out of our wedding planning! When it came to the day before, Leanne was there to help bring our wedding vision together and made sure every touch was perfect! We would highly recommend Leanne for planning a wedding. Our wedding was beautiful and everything we had hoped for and a large part of that was because of Leanne.

    Our wedding day was truly the happiest day of our lives. We owe much of this to Leanne. We decided to choose the "Only You" package as we live in Vancouver and wanted someone who knew the valley and vendors well. Although we were very organized and had a good idea of what we wanted, we needed a lot of guidance as to how to get it, who was the best fit and all the other logistical things that "pop up" along the way. Looking back, we realize now, how invaluable Leanne was to our entire wedding planning experience. She helped us bring our vision to life and even made it that much better using her years of experience. One of Leanne's best attributes was staying on track during our meetings, therefore being very efficient with everyone's time. Another attribute that should be mentioned is her apparent love for wedding planning, this came through in everything she did. The day of the wedding, because of Leanne, our friends, family and best of all us, were able to sit back, relax and absorb all the beauty that comes with that day. Thank you Leanne for being so good at what you do!

    Leanne was an amazing help, especially because I was in Calgary and she was in Invermere She knows everyone in the valley and knew exactly who to contact for all the best services.  She took all the stress out of planning the wedding as well as on the actual day. I didn't have to think about anything on my wedding day because we knew she had everything handled and under control. She thought of every last detail we needed for the day and was so organized and always available for my questions throughout the planning process.  Thanks so much to Leanne for helping us plan our most special day, it was perfect!

    Leanne was amazing to work with for several reasons and our wedding day would not have been nearly as beautiful or stress-free without her. Leanne always responded to e-mails or phone calls in a timely manner. She was always flexible with my ever-changing ideas; offering suggestions, compiling examples, and editing the list of elements involved in the vision I had for the wedding. I trusted that Leanne understood how I wanted the room to look and what kind of feel we wanted the wedding to have; executing everything even better than imagined! Leanne was organized, efficient, and genuine. She helped keep my planning in line and made me excited and motivated about the sometimes overwhelming feeling that planning a wedding provokes. Looking back, including Lucky In Love in our wedding budget could have been our most cost-effective decision. Our wedding day was beautiful thanks to Leanne in so many ways.

    Thank you for a wonderful wedding! Since all the arrangements were made by exchanging emails to and from Japan, we were unsure how things would turn out until we actually were here. But, there was absolutely no problem. All our wishes were taken care of and many more things looked after for the preparation of the wedding ceremony and the party. We were very satisfied at how our detailed requests were looked after. Although our wedding was a very small, with a few family members and friends, thanks to Leanne, we had a fantastic wedding and created many beautiful memories. We are glad we were married in Canada. Thank you so very much.

    There are a few things in life that you should never try to do on your own; federal income taxes, walking alone at night in Tijuana, oral surgery and childbirth, to name a handful ...wedding planning should be added to this list. I had heart palpitations just thinking about all the details that had to be covered to make our special day run smoothly (and I was the groom, so admittedly I had relatively little pressure compared to my future wife and mother-in-law.) Leanne's presence throughout our nuptial journey served to ease the process to a successful climax. She eliminated all the stress that comes from the natural incidence of having to deal with the myriad of details required to pull off such a glorious ritual.


    Having Leanne as our wedding planner made a huge difference to my stress level as the Mother-of-the-bride. Her attention to details took the pressure off our having to think of everything. The best part was on the day of the wedding. She was there to make sure everything ran smoothly...I was able to relax and enjoy the whole day and evening without having to worry about a thing. And what fun it was!

    Leanne is awesome. I cannot say enough about her professionally or personally. She made my day and year of pre-planning stress free and very enjoyable. She is very organized, detailed and very personable. Her ideas and taste are beyond anything I could have thought of or wished for. She thought of every little detail and made everything a breeze. I not only had the best wedding planner ever, but I gained a friend who was by my side the whole way and made my dream wedding come true. I would recommend Leanne in a minute to anyone who asked. Thank you so much for being a part of our beautiful special day, and making it so memorable for not only us, but for our family & guests. You are definitely the talk of the town.

    Leanne took all of the stress out of our wedding day and for that we are forever grateful. She had an organized yet calm approach that did not make us panic when, because of her experience, she was able to help with ideas we had not even considered. She had a delicate way of dealing with family dynamics that made things go smoothly and made everyone feel important. Leanne was amazing when it came to dealing with vendors we had been having issues with - she was able to find solutions to make every dream detail of our day a reality. Because of her experience and connections within the community Leanne was able to provide us with options we were not previously aware of. We cannot thank her enough!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

    What a great day! I know it’s been already a month since our big day but Jeff & I are still reminiscing about it. And we will for years to come. We wouldn’t have changed a thing. I’m so glad we hired a wedding planner but to top it off we had the pleasure of working with such a wonderful person as yourself. You have definitely found your calling! Jeff and I want to express our thanks from the bottom of your hearts for making our wedding a very memorable day.

    The day turned out absolutely beautiful and everything was even better than we had imagined. The room looked fantastic and everyone at the wedding commented on how classy and sophisticated the decor was. Your creativity and ingenuity helped us to create this wonderful decor on our budget. I know I wouldn't have been able to pull off the day with out you. Not being from the area it was wonderful to be able to use your knowledge of vendors and to be able to trust you to communicate my vision to them to ensure that the entire day was beautiful and well thought out! Leanne you were a pleasure to work with, creative, organized and full of passion for your job! Thank you for making our wedding the most beautiful and memorable day!

    Leanne was beyond amazing the entire year we worked with her. We were in Calgary and needed some local advice and expertise to make our Invermere wedding a success. From organizing meetings with the vendors, to thinking of unique and creative ideas for the day, we could not have done it without her. She helped us bring our outdoor wedding dream to life. A freak August thunderstorm had our guests running for cover and a bride almost in tears. We can't even imagine what the day would have looked like if Leanne was not there to reorganize the tables and calm everyone down. Her calm sense of being, her over-the-top ability to organize and make decisions on a dime left both of us, our family and our guests commenting on how fabulous she is. Our wedding day was EVERYTHING we imagined it to be (plus a rainbow) and it was 100% because of Leanne. We can't thank her enough.

    Leanne is the fairy godmother of weddings! She granted our every wish and gave us our dream wedding! She worked very hard to make sure that every last detail was perfect. She was very open to our ideas and had many great ideas of her own! She is super organized and took all of the stress out of the planning. She also handled setbacks calmly and confidently and worked hard to find alternate solutions. Through it all Leanne was always positive, and knowing the wedding plans were in her capable hands we were able to let go of any stress. To top it off, Leanne was 8 months pregnant but this didn't slow her down! We could go on and on about how amazing Leanne is, not only is she profoundly talented at what she does but she is also a great person! She is friendly and down to earth and an absolute pleasure to work with. If you are thinking about hiring a wedding coordinator, look no further, Leanne will take care of everything and all you have to do is tell her what your dream wedding looks like, she will make it happen!

    Leanne was phenomenal from the very beginning of the wedding planning to after the very last guest left the wedding. She found us the perfect vendors and location and she ensured we came in well under budget. She had an extraordinary eye for detail and the room for the wedding reception was gorgeous. Leanne was easy to get in touch with and extremely accommodating with the complications that go along with planning a wedding from out of town. Our wedding was perfect thanks to Leanne.

    My wedding day exceeded my expectations and was everything that I dreamed of as a young girl. Leanne and I connected from the first time we spoke on the phone, it was like we were long lost friends and had never missed a beat. My husband and I met her 1 month before my wedding face to face, and still felt that I connected with her, and knew that leaving her in charge of our dream day it would all be fantastic, from the flowers to the minor little details such as the rose petals around the cupcake tree.
    She truly is amazing and I feel honored to know her and call her my friend.

    Leanne you did an amazing job decorating our wedding reception - when I walked into the room all could say is "WOW". You went over and above helping me make decisions on how to decorate our room and the actual decorating of the room - it looked absolutely fabulous; way better than I could have dreamed. You helped make my wedding the perfect day… it was truly beautiful. If I could do it all over again I would have hired you to coordinate the entire wedding.
    Thank you so much for making my wedding day dream come true.

    Thank you for all you did to make our wedding day so incredibly wonderful. I never thought weddings, especially our own could be so much fun and so fantastic. It was perfect; mainly because of you. You helped us with all the details and kept me sane with organizing all the tricky things. Thank you so much! I wish you could have been there to see how wonderful it turned out.

    Seriously, our wedding day would not have been the success that it was without the help of Leanne. It was amazing to have someone who understood our vision of our wedding day and helped to make it happen. She was always a phone call away or a quick e-mail away to get in touch with and helped us to make some tough decisions and averted me from some mini meltdowns along the way. We got so many compliments on the decor at our reception site. She made that awful looking hall into a really beautiful space to celebrate our wedding. Hiring Leanne was one of the best decisions we made when it came to our wedding day!

    The flowers were beautiful. I was amazed with your creations and your ability to bring everyone together to create such wonderful displays.

    Leanne was amazing! We had to put so much trust in her because we had never actually seen our wedding venue. She asked us all of the important questions and made the necessary recommendations. Leanne's flexibility gave us guidance but allowed us to have direction over our wedding day. Her organization and recommendations were creative, elegant, and practical. We had a PERFECT wedding day. We owe so much to Leanne. We recommend her service to anyone thinking of getting married in the Valley, it was the smartest wedding decision we made!

    Leanne makes planning and executing a wedding a stress free event. Her services allow a bride and groom to enjoy their own wedding day and all the days leading up to the wedding instead of stressing over logistics. Our wedding would not have been the success it was without her help.

    With our love of the mountains, Ray and I were looking for the perfect spot for our perfect day. Being from Manitoba, it was somewhat tricky trying to decide just how we were going to make our dreams a realization. We then discovered Lucky in Love, and Leanne. She took care of all of the details, from booking the resort, right down to the smallest touches. Her professionalism and caring personality really enabled us to relax and truly enjoy every part of our day. We will always have fond memories of Leanne, and would highly recommend her services.

We wish you many years of success with your growing business.
