What is the value of our services?
EXPERTISE
Planning one of the most important celebrations of your life comes with countless decisions, which is why working with an experienced planner matters. Since 2013, our team has planned hundreds of weddings across Cape Breton, bringing expertise and thoughtful guidance to every step of the process.
Equally important, our deep connection to this place means we understand the details that matter — from the way the light shifts at sunset to how the coastal winds move across the landscape — allowing us to anticipate, plan, and design weddings that truly reflect Cape Breton’s natural beauty.
​
GUIDANCE
To put it simply, we take the time to understand your priorities and bring your vision to life by thoughtfully pairing you with the right team of vendors. With so many interconnected details and moving parts on a wedding day, having professional guidance is essential. Our team is here to lead the process and ensure everything comes together seamlessly.
​
PEACE OF MIND
Over the years, our couples have consistently shared that they feel a sense of relief knowing they can rely on us to manage both the planning process and the execution of their wedding day, rather than carrying the responsibility on their own.
​
PRESENCE
There is no greater investment you can make than entrusting a J. Marie Weddings coordinator to oversee your wedding day, allowing you to be fully present and enjoy each moment.
Full Wedding Planning
Our Full Wedding Planning package includes the involvement of J. Marie Weddings from conception to execution. This 12-18-month package provides you with the support of an experienced, professional wedding planner to help you navigate the 200+ decisions you’ll make as you plan your wedding; saving you time and making the overall experience much more enjoyable.
Our approach to wedding planning allows you to complete tasks with a sure mind and full heart, ensuring that we’re creating a wedding day that reflects you as a couple, your style and stays within your budget. The planning process is easy to follow, with monthly check-ins and pre-established deadlines.
This package also includes onsite, day-of coordination as well as the addition of a J. Marie Weddings assistant. This ensures that the entire day goes according to plan and that you, the couple, are completely present in every moment as it happens.
​
We take a select number of Wedding Planning clients each season.
Wedding Management
Our most popular packages, our Wedding Management packages provide you with our services 3 to 12 months before the wedding and on the day of the occasion.
​
These packages are perfect for couples who have already made all the big decisions and only need support with finalizing the smaller details and bringing everything together for the big day. As part of these packages, we’ll review all your current wedding plans and offer suggestions on how to improve each portion of the day, and everything in between. Your Lead Coordinator will also create and oversee your personalized wedding day timeline to ensure your wedding day is executed flawlessly.
Wedding Coordination
Our Day-of Coordination package is offered to couples who are marrying between January - May 30 and November - Dec 15 and provides you with our services 8 weeks prior to your wedding and on the day of the occasion.
​
This package is perfect for couples who only need the support of a professional to execute their wedding day and don’t require us to manage their overall wedding plan.
​
Any in-season (June-October) availability is announced early Spring.
Wedding Consultations
Our Wedding Consultations are designed to meet specific wedding planning needs. Consultations are customized allowing us to add value where you need it most.
