The cost of your wedding will vary greatly on the type of wedding you choose to have, the number of guests and the venue you choose. Traditional weddings in Toronto of around 100 people with a ceremony following be a 3-course sit down meal and dancing can start around $50,000. At Mad Bash, we most consistently work with budgets of $80k to $250k, however have planned weddings upwards of $500k. It all depends on your personal choices so there is no one size fits all answer when it comes to wedding budgeting in Toronto.

Wedding planners take care of the overall coordination, vendor bookings, and logistics throughout the wedding planning process. They ensure that everything runs smoothly from start to finish. Wedding designers, on the other hand, focus on the visual elements of the wedding. They create a cohesive aesthetic concept, including themes, colors, decor, and ambiance. Their goal is to bring the couple's vision to life. Day-of coordinators manage the logistics and execution of the wedding day itself. They handle timelines, coordinate with vendors, and ensure a seamless experience for the couple and their guests on the big day.

At this time, we do not offer a Day-Of Coordination service. After serving the Toronto Wedding Industry for over a decade, we feel that our level of expertise better serves our clients with more robust services like Full Planning and Design. For those looking for a shorter service offering and hoping to collaborate with their planner by doing a lot of the work themselves, we do offer Three Month Wedding Management.
