About Rebecca Chan

About Rebecca Chan – Toronto wedding planner

Hello! I’m Rebecca and some know me as a wedding planner, event coordinator and, most recently, a bride-to-be.

Looking back, the first event I remember planning was my sister’s 5th birthday party. I ran the Pin The Tail On The Donkey game, orchestrated the cake cutting and bossed the kids around; I had a blast!

Since then, I have been involved with special events of all sorts – birthdays, fundraisers, galas, conferences, promotional gigs, you name it. Oh, did I mention I do weddings too? I honestly live and breathe it, and I am fortunate to spend my time and energy focusing on doing something I love!

Here I’ll tell you a bit more about me, but I prefer meeting in person so I can hear about you and your wedding plans too!

The paper credentials

Many couples are happy to know that I hold a Graduate Certificate in Event Management. My pulse on the special events industry gives me insight on the latest trends popping up in the city, beyond just weddings.
Holding an Honours Degree in Design allows me to bring an artistic perspective to couples I work with (it also means I’m not a fan of Comic Sans!). Need a second opinion on your invitation or decor? I got you covered!
Through my charity work, I’ve planned and managed executive golf tournaments, lavish galas and ground-level fundraisers of all sorts. I have also had the privilege of coordinating events that have hosted Prince Charles Prince of Wales (I even shook his hand, eek!) and the Governor General of Canada.
Fluent in English and Chinese (Cantonese), I am not afraid to make conversation with the older generation. I also don’t exclusively do Chinese weddings; I welcome couples of all cultures, traditions and backgrounds.
Last, but certainly not least, I am Certified through the Wedding Planners Institute of Canada, connecting me with a nationwide network of resources.

More about Rebecca

Yes, I am a newlywed bride! Ask me about my custom-designed ring and we’ll talk for hours. I cannot wait for the big day and, of course, I had a day-of coordinator helping me out so I could relax and enjoy my day. Keep posted here for photos/video from my big day!
If I’m not working away at planning your wedding, you can probably find me going for a run, picking up a random craft like painting or jewellery making, or exploring the nooks and crannies of Toronto.
Gravitating to anything floral, textured and designer chic, you can find me regularly tweeting my favourite ideas and inspiration. Don’t be shy – mention me and I’ll definitely tweet you back.
My favourite part about being in the wedding biz is having the privilege of being a part of a couple’s most special day, allowing them to enjoy it with those closest to them.

Let’s connect

My ultimate goal is for you and your spouse to enjoy a stress-free wedding. If you are interested in my wedding services, connect with me [weddings@rebeccachan.ca] to meet up over a coffee to chat. I’d love to hear more about what makes you as a couple unique and what your dreams are for your wedding day. I look forward to hearing from you!
