She then ventured into freelancing for wedding planners and coordinating high-profile corporate functions, where her exceptional client interaction and team leadership skills truly shone. Her approach blends a meticulous eye for detail with a creative and fun twist, ensuring every event exceeds expectations.

Balancing a full-time government role, she is dedicated to her entrepreneurial vision and client needs. Her diverse background, spanning retail, the private sector, and seven years of administrative experience, enriches her growing event planning venture.

"Originally we hired Casandra for her Just Decor services. We were having a smaller intimate wedding and I really just needed someone to set up our decor ahead of time. However, as we planned and our list of wedding day “to-do’s” got longer, we decided to keep Casandra around to coordinate the day. BEST DECISION WE EVER MADE. She was precise, professional, friendly and executed our vision to perfection. Working with her was a blast. Many of our guests commented on how lovely she was and how seamlessly she did her job. We can’t thank her enough for all her hard work, the day truly would not have been the same without her."

"Casandra was my daughter’s wedding planner and I must say, she was pretty terrific! I only met Casandra at the rehearsal, but had been hearing wonderful things about her for months, like how supportive she had been throughout the whole process. Planning a wedding these days is quite a production!

My daughter is very particular; and both she and her husband-to-be had a lot on their wish list. They were very impressed with how Casandra was able to accurately interpret their vision and make it happen.

I found Casandra to be very warm, genuine and friendly. She was super organized, had great ideas and seemed to think of every detail in advance that could possibly be an issue at the wedding.

My daughter and her husband felt confident that everything would be perfect, and it was. You are in good hands with Casandra!"

"I met Casandra at the Ottawa Wedding Show and instantly knew I needed to work with her! We originally didn’t book in with a wedding coordinator, and now that our wedding has taken place (September 2024) we genuinely do not know how our wedding would have succeeded without her. Casandra is incredibly organized, detail oriented, and passionate about this field. All of our meetings with her were fun, and the support I received as a bride from day one and post wedding is something I am immensely grateful for. I couldn’t recommend Casandra enough for any event you might be seeking support with, and my husband and I would hire her a million times over. We owe our wedding success to her!"

"Casandra planned the most amazing surprise engagement party for myself and my fiancé. She coordinated well with all my closest friends, made sure all the food and decorations were things that we would like, as well as on theme, and from what I heard from friends following the event Casandra was extremely organized and had lots of great ideas on how to make this a great event. She brought together many well thought-out details, such as specific places for photo opportunities, and was so kind and courteous to everyone throughout the night. I could not have asked for a better celebration! Thanks a bunch Cas!"

"Casandra helped me finalize the details of my wedding leading up to our big day (about a month out) she contacted vendors on my behalf which was a HUGE weight off my shoulders . She was there for anything I needed even if that just be pre wedding jitters . She made my dreams come true with the decor and made sure no events was missed on our timeline throughout the day! Having her in charge of ensuing everything ran smoothly allowed me to enjoy the day , be present and not stressed . If you’re considering it take this as your sign to book the coordinator !"
