Frequently Asked Questions
Wedding Planners
What is a wedding planner?
A wedding planner is a professional who understands and has expert knowledge of what is required for planning and managing a wedding including the many details that need to be handled on the big day. A planner is organized, resourceful, and detail-oriented; they can also offer creative ideas to style and personalize a wedding.
The team at Kauna Events is available to assist the engaged couple in any area they feel they need the most help. Hiring a wedding planner allows our clients to enjoy their wedding day, backed with the knowledge that they have a professional taking care of everything for them.
Why should we hire a wedding planner?
Planning a wedding can take over 300 hours, hundreds of emails and phone calls, late night research and expert industry insights. Most couples find themselves over their heads as soon as the planning starts; drowning in the details. A wedding planner is a key asset as you plan your wedding; they take care of the hundreds of details leaving you to enjoy your wedding day. By hiring a professional wedding planner, you will not only save time, but also money and unnecessary stress. You will benefit from your planner’s experience, knowledge, creative suggestions, guidance and vendor connections. Most of all, you will be able to relax and enjoy your special day knowing that any problems or emergencies that may arise are in the hands of a seasoned professional.
At Kauna Events we help guide you along every step of the journey and help keep stress at bay so you can enjoy the process from proposal to “I do.”
What should we look for when choosing a wedding planner?
Based on your needs, you should look for a wedding planner who can offer you a wide range of services and is flexible to handle as much or as little as you wish them to. Ideally, your wedding planner will provide you with ample ideas and guidance for your wedding. Most importantly, the planner you select must be someone that you feel comfortable and confident with; someone you can develop a connection with.
At Kauna Events our mission is to establish a personal connection with our clients, allowing us to better interpret and execute their unique vision. We believe that a friendly relationship between a client and planner allows both parties to feel comfortable with one another while still maintaining confidence in the planner’s professionalism.
Why can't my mother or best friend plan the wedding?
Planning a wedding can be stressful, especially when the people doing it are involved emotionally. Friends and family want everything to be perfect for you, or what they think is perfect for you, this could lead to potential conflicts and negative feelings. Even though friends and family members have very good intentions, they deserve and want to enjoy the wedding with you rather than spending the day working.
Kauna Events offers a high level of service, we are hired to watch over all the details and make sure that your wedding day is worry and stress free – for everyone.
Why can't we do all the planning ourselves?
Of course you can do the planning yourself and that is part of the fun! But it also can be a hassle: checking out many sources for each supplier category, making sure all the details are in place and worrying about whether you’re getting the best deal and whether everything will turn out alright.
At Kauna Events we have the training and experience to make it all come together while you relax and enjoy the romance and festivities of your wedding. Together with you, we will prepare and coordinate the details of your wedding, assisting you through the final process. We allow you to take as big of a role in your wedding planning as you wish, while aiding with the small details that will make the day unforgettable.
My wedding reception has a coordinator, do I still need a wedding planner?
A venue coordinator works for the venue; their job is to answer your questions about the venue and assist you with your venue layout. They are someone you may contact if you need extra reassurance about the details of your wedding venue, however, their loyalty is to the venue.
In summary, a venue provided wedding coordinator simply confirms details which only concern the venue’s best interests. Their job does not include all the other details that go into planning your wedding.
A wedding planner, on the other hand, is involved from the very beginning of the planning process. Your wedding planner will handle each detail of your wedding from start to finish – everything from finding a venue and the appropriate suppliers to actually being there on your wedding day to make sure everything runs smoothly and as planned. Having a wedding planner reduces the natural stress of planning a wedding that you can enjoy the entire process and have complete confidence that all the details are taken care of for you.

What's the average cost of a wedding?
Your wedding budget is largely determined by your number of wedding guests. In Toronto, the most elegant weddings typically cost anywhere from $30,000 to $50,000.
At Kauna Events we pride ourselves on our ability to work with our clients by helping them achieve the wedding of their dreams as their budget is able to cater to.

My wedding is not in Toronto, can you still plan it?
Absolutely! Though Toronto remains our home base, we have planned and coordinated weddings for clients in cities outside Toronto; including Hamilton, Montreal, Dallas (Texas) and Abuja (Nigeria).
You have no need to worry because planning wedding outside a planner’s city of residence is tantamount to planning a destination wedding. If you are interested in having us plan your wedding in any city other than Toronto, feel free to contact us to get the ball rolling!
