Reviews of Pastiche Events (Event Planner)

Jacqueline Dobson

From moodboarding the concept, wardrobe advice, telling an intentional story, and helping on site, #StyledByPastiche made our Engagement Photo Shoot such a wonderful experience!

Our wedding day would not have been the same, had we not had Khrystyna's help. She came onboard to help us, just as the month countdown for the big day started. I had left a number of big tasks still pending (floor plan, rentals, day of timeline), as they seemed to be the most intimidating parts of planning to accomplish. Although it was likely beyond the tasks of a 'month of coordination' package, Khrystyna eagerly took them off my plate. She helped me prioritize my running to do list and tie up all the loose ends. During the two weeks leading up to the wedding, my work was limited to just organizing my personal items/itinerary - Khrystyna took care of the rest. She took care of dealing with all the vendors and made me feel confident that we were on the right track, even though I had left a number of things to the last minute to finalize. The day before the wedding, she lead a rehearsal at our home. She went through the whole process and made sure everyone knew what was going on. On the day of the wedding, she was checking in with my Maid of Honour to make sure we were all good and on schedule. I had dropped off all the personal items/decor in the morning. She did all the set up and it looked amazing. I did not give her much direction on what I wanted, nor did she really know what I would be bringing. But she somehow brought what I had envisioned in my mind to life. What I thought was most impressive was Khrystyna's attentiveness to our needs and what we wanted for the wedding. She made sure the caterers opened the bar before our evening wedding and set up our DIY doughnut dessert table. They were set up so nicely that a lot of my guests thought the catering team had made them. I barely had any time to grab any hors d'oeuvres during the party, but she made sure to bring a platter full to us. She was constantly checking in with us to make sure we were good and also kept the formalities on track. We had a number of speeches for such a short time, but she made sure the evening flowed well. I truly feel like the evening would have been a cluster of disorganization, had Khyrstyna not been involved. She also saved us money by noticing that our caterers tried to get us to rent items that were already available at the venue. Her services were the best investment in our wedding and we will be recommending Pastiche to all our friend's and family.

Pastiche Events truly went above and beyond to create the most perfect Baby Sprinkle for my sister. Khrystyna took my idea of a ‘garden tea party’ theme and ran with it. Her organization skills, creativity and time management was the reason the party was such a success. As host of the event, I was still able to greet my guests and enjoy myself because I knew Pastiche Events had everything under control. My favourite part of working with Khrystyna was her attention to detail. She came up with the idea of using tea tins for flower centrepieces, they were definitely eye catching. I am so glad Pastiche Events was a part of my sisters special day, without them I would not have been able to pull off such an amazing party!

If you are looking for a wedding planner, you should hire Khrystyna from Pastiche Events! Khrystyna made our wedding weekend dreams come true. She is kind, understanding, reliable and extremely hard working. She approached everything in the month-of-coordination with grace, professionalism and precision. Her encouragement and reassurance early on in the planning process allowed us to plan a two-day wedding, when we were originally thinking of doing a shorter event. For that, we are forever grateful! My partner and I were able to enjoy the time leading up to our wedding, as well as our wedding days because Khrystyna handled all the moving pieces so seamlessly. We did not have to worry about anything because Khrystyna anticipated everyone’s needs, was extremely communicative and was quick to act when there were small mishaps. Khrystyna’s keen eye for design also made our wedding that much more beautiful. We were completely blown away by how she put the pieces of our reception together (e.g. floral arrangements, name cards, thank you cards, etc.). She truly went above and beyond to make our wedding unforgettable – we cannot thank her enough! Khrystyna is an exceptional wedding planner in every way. You should hire her for your wedding – it was one of the best decision of ours!

Khrystyna is THE wedding planner you want to hire. She is highly organized, detail oriented and a breeze to work with as a fellow wedding vendor. What we appreciate the most about Khrystyna is her ability to problem solve, especially during highly stressful times. She was able to turn around the loss of a well planned wedding due to Covid-19 into the most magical and thoughtful intimate backyard wedding. This girl doesn't miss a beat and is absolutely the kind of planner you want on your team!

Brought our vision to life! Amazing! Khrystyna from Pastiche Events helped us with full planning and month-of coordination for our wedding. Before meeting Khrystyna, my husband and I started the planning process totally overwhelmed and stressed. She calmed our nerves from the very first meeting and put us at ease with her experience and recommendations. Our wedding had more than one event (ceremony one day and reception the following day) so it was definitely a large event to plan! Through all of it, Khrystyna made sure decisions were in line with our vision and wishes. Khrystyna kept us on track with monthly meetings that included very organized to do lists and items to follow-up on. Every time we met with Khrystyna we felt more relaxed and able to handle the inevitable details that come with planning a wedding. During the month-of, Khrystyna handled all communication with our vendors and put together a detailed timeline. Khrystyna's talents shone even more on our wedding day and reception, when everything stayed on schedule and flowed beautifully. Many of our guests commented on how smoothly the events went. If there were any mishaps during the events, Khrystyna and her team took care of it without letting on that there was even a mishap to begin with! Her hard work allowed us to enjoy every moment of our wedding, without us ever having to worry about the timeline or vendors. Khrystyna will work extremely hard for you and most importantly, create the wedding of your dreams! Thank you for everything!!! Love, Chloe and Saijith.

I have worked a few events with Khrystyna in the past 2 years and can't say enough about her and her work! She cares so much for her couples and it shows on the day of when she makes sure everything is perfect for her couple. She is sweet, caring, and so hard-working! I highly recommend her services for wedding days and events.

Khrystyna and her team at Pastiche Events was easily the best decision we made for our wedding day. From our initial meeting, I knew her and Pastiche would be a perfect fit. Khrytyna was quick to respond to my numerous questions and provided reassurance. The team was so attentive and professional. There is no issue that Khrystyna and her team couldn't resolve and ensured my family a stress free evening. These ladies are a godsend and you need to hire them for your next event!

Highly recommended!!! We recently worked with Khrystyna using the #StyledByPastiche service for our engagement shoot up north. She helped bring our vision to life with a moodboard (which also really helped me articulate what I was seeing to my fiancé!) and also advised on wardrobe, activity/prop ideas for the shoot, and telling an intentional story. Having these items planned out helped us enjoy the moment more and it was great to have a sounding board. Khrystyna is also planning our wedding - she has been a huge support during a very strange time and has helped us adjust our plans as the facts and circumstances change. We are excited for next year!!!

At every turn, Khrystyna went above and beyond as a wedding planner. She kept her cool through the entire covid related postponements and made sure to keep on top of vendors. We didn’t have to stress about anything (which was highly appreciated). She is professional, creative and an overall joy to collaborate with. So glad we got to work with her and cannot recommend her highly enough.
