On special occasions you pull out the Crystal

In 2009, Crystal was certified by the Wedding Planners Institute of Canada and founded Once Wedding Studio. She is thrilled to embark on this adventure with you, because being able to help people create the wedding of their dreams is her dream come true!

A graduate from the George Brown College SCHOOLOFDESIGN with a diploma in Graphic Design, her imagination, knowledge of colours and layout, coupled with a great attention to detail, allow her to bring your vision to life. It's easy to create a cookie cutter wedding, but with Crystal's passion and creative flair your special day will be one to remember forever.

assistant co-ordinator/partner

The best man (for the job, that is)

Phillip has always had a love of entertaining and a passion for great customer service. As an event supervisor for many years at a catering company in London, ON, he knows what it takes to get the job done. His behind-the-scenes experience always comes in handy. Currently a marketing professional, his friendly and outgoing personality easily wins over everyone he meets and has the pleasure of working with.

When Crystal decided to take her passion for events to the next level, he's been beside her every step of the way. On your big day, he's not only there to help with the heavy lifting but is a great support for the guys in the wedding party...sometimes it's nice to talk football when ribbons and flowers are the order of the day.
