Liz and the Brilliant Events team went above and beyond to make our wedding weekend one for the books. 

We had tasked her with quite the challenge — two full weddings in one weekend. First, a Hindu wedding on the Friday, and a Jewish wedding on the Sunday. The ask to integrate cultural elements of two demanding religions was challenging, and Liz took it in stride, delivering incredible events that both represented our Indian and Jewish communities, while also making each event our own. Liz and her team executed the weekend flawlessly. We’re already thinking of another reason to have an event, for the sole purpose of working with Brilliant Events again.

Every guest we spoke with said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to.

It's not possible to capture the magic of Brilliant Events in words. You have to experience it to understand.

Each of our vendors went out of their way to tell us how lucky we were to have Liz and her team helping us out.

Brilliant Events is very clearly a well-respected company in the wedding industry, as each of our vendors went out of their way to tell us how lucky we were to have Liz and her team helping us out. This was easily the best investment we made for our wedding, and we strongly encourage anyone planning a wedding (or any other event, for that matter) to engage Liz and her team.

By far the best decision ever!

We hired Liz and her team, and it was by far the best decision ever! She was extremely organized, beyond capable at anything that was in front of her, kind, intelligent, and amazing to work with. Our family and friends had nothing but amazing compliments for how well our wedding ran, and it really was all thanks to her. 10 out of 5 stars.

Dream team of local pros!

Liz goes above and beyond with her couples; right from the very start, I felt like she took the time to listen to our vision. Liz has a sparkle that attracts the best people. Quite quickly in conversations with our other vendors, I got the sense that people love to work with her. I heard MANY times through the process, "Oh, you are working with Brilliant Events—you are in good hands!" She pulled together a dream team of local pros that I never would have found on my own.

Liz made us feel like friends, not just clients

Brilliant Events is perfectly named! Liz, the incredible owner, was our wedding planner. Living abroad in the UK, we hired her for the "whole shebang," and we were thrilled with her work. With just one photo of a winter wedding bouquet from Pinterest, she built our entire wedding. Liz made us feel like friends, not just clients, and her humor kept us relaxed and happy. The professional team she brought on the day was outstanding. I highly recommend anyone considering a wedding in Whistler/Pemberton to contact her for a conversation and a quote.

Look no further!

Liz knows her work, the region, and all the vendors. If you want an experienced planner with a heart of gold — who will save you time, money, and aggravation — look no further.

Liz and her team were fantastic!

The day ran absolutely flawlessly. Liz helped us plan the entire thing, with insights we never would have had. Her knowledge of the industry and how a wedding should work was instrumental.

Working with Liz was a dream come true.

Her styling was beautiful; I was blown away when I saw the decor that she set up for us at two different venues. I am so grateful for Liz and her team at Brilliant Events. She will make your wedding/event perfect. I wish I had another party to plan.

Amazing job with our double wedding in Whistler

Brilliant Events did an amazing job with our double wedding in Whistler - everything went perfectly and they pulled it off without a hitch! Not an easy feat, and not one many (if any?) planners can claim.

Always on top of it.

Liz is always on top of it, thinking ahead so as to not miss a single detail. She values her clients & treats each one like family

From the moment we met Liz, we knew she was "The One"

She is a charming blend of professional, hilarious, kind, thoughtful, and honest. She listened to us openly and transformed our ideas into the perfect wedding day. Liz and her team executed things flawlessly, which allowed us to fully enjoy one of the biggest days of our lives. She has an amazing group of vendors in her circle; we trusted her recommendations and were beyond impressed with the quality of service that everyone provided. We cannot thank Liz & her team enough for making our day brilliant and would recommend her without a moment's hesitation!"

Katrina and Brett

Exceeded our expectations!

Brilliant Events exceeded our expectations of what a wedding planner is. What we also appreciated was how honest and transparent they were. When everyone at the wedding says how amazing your wedding planner is, I think that alone speaks volumes about what Brilliant Events is all about.

Liz is absolutely amazing!

Truly, there aren't enough adjectives in the dictionary to describe how phenomenal she is. Charmingly kind and incredibly sweet, organized, decisive, beyond helpful, and marvelously fun! When deciding if you need a planner, or deciding between planners, your search is over. Liz is so much more than just a wedding planner. She has become a great friend, and we cannot thank her enough for everything she did to make the most important day of our lives one that we will happily never forget.

Liz really made our dream beach wedding come to life.

Words will never be able to express how thankful I am that Liz was a part of the BEST DAY of our lives! Liz really made our dream beach wedding come to life. Your expertise and finesse are second to none, and we are forever grateful.

Dani and Ryan
Private Home, Sayulita, Mexico

I don't think I can express how important Liz was to our wedding day. 

Not only is Liz a fantastic wedding planner and day-of coordinator, she is also a great person. She is super likable and got along with everyone (us, our families, our wedding party, and vendors). Liz is a great and fun person, and we loved sharing our big day with her. I cannot thank her enough and would highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding in the Sea to Sky area.

 Liz and the Brilliant Events team bring laughter and light-hearted energy to every wedding they do, and I couldn't speak more highly about working with them!

Liz is always so attentive to my needs as a vendor: always asking if I require help, or if I need more time. This ability to be flexible, patient, and professional is one of the many reasons Liz has been a notable event planner in the Sea to Sky for years. Liz has the confidence to execute rain or shine — an attribute that all couples should look for when hiring a wedding planner.

When it comes to multi-tasking, problem solving, stunning decor, and incredible organizing, she truly is amazing — and you’ll rarely see her without a smile.

I have worked with Liz on several occasions, from elopements to weddings with several guests. When it comes to multi-tasking, problem solving, stunning decor, and incredible organizing, she truly is amazing — and you’ll rarely see her without a smile.

What is done in love, is done well. This is one of Brilliant Events’ slogans, and they are an honest testament to that mantra. 

In my years as a wedding videographer, I’ve had the opportunity to work with their team on many occasions and they are true professionals who love what they do. Liz and her team think about EVERYTHING so you won’t have to: you literally can sit back and relax. In addition to working alongside Brilliant Events as a vendor, I’ve also been their client: they also helped coordinate my wedding back in 2019. They get to know you as a couple, and they’re invested in your story and marriage — not just your wedding. This makes them stand out! When I initially told Liz about how I met my husband, she teared up! If that’s not passion and commitment, I don’t know what is! I cannot recommend them enough.

When my couples tell me they have hired Brilliant Events I immediately relax. 

I know that every little detail will be taken care of. I know that whatever happens Liz will personally ensure it is dealt with professionally and quickly. I know that I, as a vendor will be taken care of - communicated to and fed throughout the night at a time that benefits the couple. However the best part of working with Brilliant Events is that I know I will have an amazing collaborative day with the best vendors because simply that is what Liz attracts to her. People want to work with her- there is so much mutual respect. I truly cannot recommend her enough.... her, and her team are amazing.
