“We have worked with OneWest in several capacities over the past few years both as a client and a vendor. The quality of the work they did constructing our SWIRL Custom Cakes & Desserts trade show booth was awesome. I like that everything we need is under one roof- from initially design of a concept to their in house graphic design and print shop -it is a seemless process. Not only are their managers and production team creative geniuses but the rest of the crew are hard working and a delight to deal with- everyone from the warehouse manager to the strike team. We have had the pleasure of being a vendor on events they have created as well and when the team is as great to work with behind the scenes as when you are a client you know you’ve hit gold! The other aspect of this business I like is they are leaders within the event industry- giving back with their time, mentorship and sponsorship elevating everyone in the Canadian event industry. We will continue to work with this group of authentic event professionals who are amongst the most creative and hardworking. If you an event, conference or creative project I highly recommend OneWest.”

Customer Reviews

Here’s a review from one of Julianne Young Weddings Inc’s clients:

“We cannot imagine having to navigate the ever changing government restrictions pertaining to weddings without Stephanie from Julianne Young Weddings. Our original wedding of 50 guests had to be cut down to 7 guests with no reception, one month before our wedding day. We wanted to forge ahead, and Stephanie supported us 100%. She created an even more perfect wedding day than we could have ever imagined, and shielded us from all the added stress changing wedding plans would have been without her. I cannot recommend Julianne Young Weddings enough based on our experience.”

Here’s another one:

“They are SO AMAZING! I’ve had the luxury of working with Julianne Young Weddings and I was taken back by their attention to detail, professionalism, and ability to keep on schedule. They are highly communicative, well organized and an absolute delight to work alongside. The wedding they planned, set up and coordinated was truly breathtaking and seamless. I would refer all and any of my wedding clients to them.”

If you’re looking for one of the best event planners in Calgary, then look no further away from Megan Sawchuk Weddings. What made them dedicated to their services is that they like weddings in every way. Few events are more beautiful or unforgettable than the first sight, first kiss, and first dance. 

They aim to help couples share their love with the rest of the globe. They strive to design weddings that are as memorable as they are one-of-a-kind, suited to each couple’s own ideas and personalities. Most significantly, they want to alleviate the stress associated with wedding preparation and administration. On such a momentous occasion, their focus should be on one another rather than on practicalities.

They understand how stressful wedding planning can be. They also understand that it is not always simple for people to express themselves. It is for this reason that they make it a point to comprehend how their clients think and feel because understanding where individuals are coming from is the first step in determining where they want to go.

We particularly like how they provide flexible and personalized services. Standards in the industry can only take you so far. They believe in developing connections with their clients and prioritizing their needs and ideas. Everything else is secondary to providing them with the wedding and experience they deserve.

Highlights

• Flexible and personalized services
• Great attention to detail
• Reasonable rates

Customer Reviews

Megan and her team were so amazing to work with.

“Megan and her team were so amazing to work with. They helped us with set up and tear down of our Wedding in September. Megan’s attention to detail was fabulous and she listened so well to how we wanted our decor set up. She also had some great insight of what was really needed for our event rentals. It really alleviated the stress of set-up and tear-down and allowed us and our wedding party to really enjoy the day. Mia and her assistant were great, and though I didn’t see them much the day of, they were the unsung heroes for the day! Thank you and much love!” – Hannah Price
