Hi friends! I’m Marissa Curtis, the face behind Whimsical Wedding Planning.

​

If there’s one thing people often say about me, it’s that I’m bubbly, passionate, and quirky! I love bringing a sense of fun and joy to the wedding planning process, helping couples feel relaxed and excited along the way.

​

My passion for weddings began while planning my own. It was such a magical experience, and ever since, I’ve been dedicated to sharing that same joy with others! If you’re curious, you can even see a glimpse of my own wedding in the photo above, captured beautifully by Julie Carla Photography.

​

Chris, the guy I married in the photo above, is also my assistant! He comes with me to every wedding, and together we make a great team both at home and on wedding days!

​

Outside of weddings, I bring a strong background in organization and problem solving. I spent nine years working as an Educational Assistant with a focus on supporting teens with autism spectrum disorder, along with experience as a behaviour interventionist. Both roles required creativity, patience, and organizational skills, all of which I now bring into wedding planning. I completed my Bachelor of Psychology in 2022, graduated in 2023, and launched Whimsical Wedding Planning that same year.

​

Now in my second year of business, I’m excited to continue growing while keeping my services approachable! In the spirit of being upfront, I offer my packages at a discounted rate as I build my reputation. My goal is to become the go-to planner for couples who want their wedding to feel full of personality, whimsy, and a true reflection of their love story!
