Calgary Wedding Planning

Thinking of a sophisticated Calgary wedding at a cultural hot spot? Or perhaps a charming, homey affair in a rustic, rural destination. Or maybe something sensational surrounded by the beauty and majesty of Lake Louise or Banff…

Whether you have a clear idea of what you want or no idea at all, we’ll help you achieve the ideal Calgary wedding that’s perfect for you. We can help you with any part of your wedding. Or we can plan, design and produce the whole event.

Prefer a destination extravaganza? We can handle the stressful details that far too often consume couples, taking them away from their special day. That means you can enjoy your romantic adventure and your new life together. Not travel details in a foreign land and currency…

For Calgary weddings, we can handle virtually everything on site at Simply Elegant. That lets us control almost all parts of the planning, designing, catering, building and delivery processes. So from the planning of your wedding to the catering, the rentals and even the flowers and décors, every element of your wedding will work together.

And unlike most Calgary wedding planners, we have an onsite kitchen, so we save you money. And the food. Oh, the food… Catering Manager Marc d. Wicks and Chef Tony Dunstan take extraordinary pride in creating menus specifically designed with each couple in mind.

Marc has held management and event planning positions at other prestigious Calgary wedding caterers and is one of the best in the business. Tony is a passionate chef whose fare delights even the fussiest of palettes.

From the moment you call or email Simply Elegant and Sharon Barwick, our on-staff award-winning designer and wedding planner, you will know that you are in the hands of Calgary wedding experts. Sharon is not only a masterful planner and organizer, but also an award-winning designer and a finalist for Best Wedding in Canada.

The Simply Elegant team will help you create the exact event you want. We’ll work hard to understand your values and what you’d like reflected in your wedding, including your culture, beliefs, family traditions, passions, sense of whimsy – in short, what matters most to you.

We know this isn’t just your wedding day. It’s the first day in the rest of your life together – and we will do whatever it takes to make sure it is done just right.

But don’t take our word for it. Here’s what one of our brides has to say:

We feel we saved money by using Simply Elegant because of the special connections and relationships they have with vendors, we also saved money by not having to take time away from our jobs to go visit several vendors to see if they were appropriate for us….Sharon just knew what we wanted – gave us options to pick from and therefore it was basically one stop shopping.

I can’t even begin to explain to you the stress that was spared. From the moment we walked into their offices we felt the stress lift from our shoulders. The time and stress we saved from having to shop around for vendors was huge, knowing that Sharon and Katie were there for us the moment that we woke up on our wedding day made the whole day very special – we just had to get ourselves ready knowing everything else was done and in very capable hands. – Holly Daniels
