“I truly cannot thank Ash, Jules and the rest of The Whole Story team for holding our hand through the final stretch of our wedding planning and truly creating the most magical and beautiful day for us!”
Grace & Ross
“Our off-the-grid wedding had many vendors and logistical complications, and they handled everything proactively and professionally, and went above and beyond to think through issues that weren't on our radar.”
Rachel & Garrett
“They asked all the right questions, anticipated things we never would have thought of, and gave us the space to just enjoy every moment. Thanks to them, our wedding day was stress-free and truly everything we dreamed of.”

There is no single right way to gather. Families look like many things and love takes many shapes. We warmly welcome LGBTQIA+ couples and hosts, events rooted in faiths and cultures of every kind, and any celebration that asks to be considered on its own terms.
A gathering can hold tradition, depart from it entirely, or invent something new, and we plan them all with the utmost care.
It is our honour and responsibility to help create spaces where every person feels seen and supported.
