We truly cannot recommend Cindy enough! From the very beginning, she was an absolute dream to work with—organized, responsive, and incredibly thoughtful. In the months leading up to our wedding, she managed all the moving parts with such grace—helping with vendor research, cost comparisons, and navigating contract changes without missing a beat.

One of the things we appreciated most was how beautifully she helped blend my Desi heritage with my now husband's more Western traditions. Every detail felt intentional and seamless, and the final result was a celebration that truly felt like us.

On the wedding day itself, everything went off without a hitch. Cindy handled all the logistics behind the scenes so we could be fully present and soak in every moment. We received so many compliments from guests on how beautiful, smooth, and joy-filled the entire day was—and that’s all thanks to her!

If you're looking for a wedding planner and coordinator who will go above and beyond to bring your vision to life, look no further than Cindy. She's a true professional and a gem of a human being.

Working with Jennifer was an absolute joy and we would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. She was quick to answer our questions, no matter how silly, and encouraged us to add so many special and silly details that truly made our day perfect. She helped to keep us on track, ensuring that we never felt like we were missing important details, and made sure we were asking all the right questions. On the wedding day, she made sure that all of our decor was exactly how we wanted it (if not better!), and that everybody was where they were supposed to be. Because of her, we were able to focus 100% on celebrating with each other and our family and friends. Working with Jennifer is like working with a friend, we are so grateful to her for everything she did for us!

We worked with Jennifer for our wedding, we hired her for month of coordination and decor. We could not have been happier with her services! Jennifer consistently went above and beyond for everything and she was so helpful every step of the way. She was always fast at answering our questions or listening to our concerns and made the planning and decor process feel so much easier and less stressful. She was always full of wonderful ideas and helped us to make our wedding exactly what we wanted! I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone!

We are SO glad we went with Umbrella Events for our wedding in North Vancouver this fall. A special shout out to Jennifer, who was a dream to work with throughout our whole planning process. We felt really taken care of the days leading up to the wedding with the detailed schedules, planning meetings, and great communication. Day of, everything went so smoothly and even when things didn't, Jennifer and her team were there to help (my dress was so dirty after taking photos in the rain and they had club soda ready to go!). Thank you so much to Umbrella Events, would absolutely recommend!

Umbrella Events is the best in the business! We would absolutely recommend using Umbrella Events for your wedding. Cristie did such an amazing job from the moment we started the planning journey together. Multiple times throughout this journey, we mentioned to each other that if there was no Cristie, there will be no wedding LOL! She gave us the wedding of our dreams and stayed within the budget. She executed so well that it very much exceeded our expectations. Every morning I wake up thinking of our wedding. We could not be happier with our decision to hire Umbrella Events!

We had the pleasure of working with Blair from Umbrella Events for our “month of” coordination. Blair was easy to communicate with, professional and organized from the beginning. We were able to be so much more present on our day knowing that Blair and his assistant had everything under control. They dealt with any issues and changes and kept everything running very smoothly. I’d recommend Blair and Umbrella events to anyone looking for wedding coordination services.

We worked with Cindy to plan our 10 year Anniversary/Vow Renewal Ceremony and it turned out better than we ever could have imagined! We felt constantly supported and her determination to execute our day without a hitch was extremely successful. She managed to plan everything remotely from Vancouver with the event taking place in Florida with no issue. We were in constant communication throughout the entire process, she even called in virtually to our tasting to help us decide our menu. She was able to keep us organized, find all the vendors, assist with my invitations, design my signage, edit an entrance video from a tiktok inspiration I found and truly execute my vision all within my budget. Three weeks prior to the event my venue underwent unexpected renovations and we had to change our entire plan and space. Needless to say, we were incredibly stressed, but Cindy's communication skills and solution focused thought process puts her above the rest. She fought for us and as a result we felt we received more compensation than we thought possible. She managed to negotiate upgrades that truly elevated our event. Her presence, professionalism and organization allowed us to enjoy every moment, and my Husband and I cannot thank her enough for making our day truly magical and one for the books.

Jennifer and her team were so great to work with for our wedding! We chose her Month of Coordination package and from our first meeting with her, we felt she had the perfect personality and vibe for us. She was always so helpful and positive and as we got closer to our big day, she made sure absolutely nothing was forgotten about and did a great job keeping in communication with all our vendors. On the day of, we felt so much more relaxed knowing she was taking care of any logistics and set-up/takedown and it really allowed us to enjoy our day alongside our family and friends. At no point did we ever feel like we had to step in on anything because Jennifer and her team were so on top of everything! Can't recommend her enough to anyone looking for wedding planning and coordination services!
