Golden Apple Events is an Ottawa wedding planner offering planning and design, Wedding Day Management, and Simply Wed® options for weddings and elopements. The confirmed official website identifies Lara and describes services ranging from full planning to support closer to the wedding day.

This profile reflects information published on Golden Apple Events’ official website and was last reviewed on August 10, 2026. The business does not publish a street address or phone number on the official pages reviewed, so couples should use its enquiry forms for current contact and availability details.

Services and specialization

Golden Apple Events’ main service is Wedding Planning & Design. The official package description includes a personalized planning strategy, budget and vendor management, custom design and styling, logistics and coordination, and online planning tools. Its stated process moves through discovery and vision, planning and design, then wedding-day execution.

The business also lists Partial Wedding Planning & Design and Wedding Day Management. The latter is also described on the official site as day-of or month-of coordination. For couples seeking a more streamlined format, Simply Wed® is presented as an all-inclusive wedding and elopement option; the home page also refers to micro-wedding and elopement packages under that name.

Planning approach and documented inclusions

For full planning, the published inclusions name budget and vendor management, design and styling, schedules, floor plans, guest experience and behind-the-scenes logistics. The company also says it uses custom online planning tools. These are documented service features, rather than a guarantee about a particular wedding outcome.

The Wedding Day Management page provides more specific operational detail. It lists two meetings in the final month, a detailed wedding-day timeline, rehearsal coordination, vendor-arrival and set-up oversight, assistance with personal-item set-up, one event assistant on site, timeline sharing with the venue and vendors, and serving as the main contact on the day. The official site says this service typically begins about two months before the wedding.

Service area and who it may suit

Ottawa is the clear local focus: the official site describes Golden Apple Events as an Ottawa wedding planning and design service and references a curated group of Ottawa wedding vendors for Simply Wed®. The full-planning page also notes that it can support clients planning from out of town.

The official site says mileage charges can apply when travel is required beyond a 50 km radius of its office location. It does not publish the office address or define a complete service-area list, so couples with a venue outside Ottawa should ask whether their location is within the included travel radius and what any mileage charge would be.

The documented options may suit couples who want end-to-end planning and design, those who already have a venue and want partial planning, or those who have planned most details themselves and want support in the final weeks and on the wedding day. Couples considering a smaller celebration can also ask whether a current Simply Wed® date and package fit their plans.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the range of planning levels on the official site: full planning and design, partial planning, wedding-day management, and all-inclusive wedding or elopement options. The detailed Wedding Day Management checklist also makes the handoff period, vendor communication and on-site role easier to understand than a general coordination label alone.

Golden Apple Events states that it is certified by The Wedding Planners’ Institute of Canada. Its planning page also describes a planning process with discovery, design and execution stages. These are published business features, not independent performance ratings.

Practical limitations in the available evidence are equally important. The official site does not publish a street address, direct phone number, public package prices, a full service-area list, or a public availability calendar. Those items need to be confirmed directly before a couple compares proposals or makes travel assumptions.

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published. Golden Apple Events’ official pages do publish payment timing for its planning and Wedding Day Management services: a 50% initial retainer is required to reserve a date, with the remaining balance due in separate payments for full planning and due two weeks before the wedding for Wedding Day Management.

The official site also states that mileage is added to the final balance when travel is required outside a 50 km radius from the office location. It does not state the mileage rate, package totals, inclusions by price tier, taxes, or whether all add-ons are subject to the same payment schedule. Request a written proposal matched to the venue, date and chosen service.

Contact and booking

Golden Apple Events directs wedding-planning enquiries through its dedicated wedding planning form. Its contact page also offers a general enquiry route and a separate path to enquire about full planning or reserve a Simply Wed® date.

The official pages reviewed do not display a phone number or postal address. Use the official contact page rather than the legacy listing details, and include the wedding date, venue or preferred area, guest-count estimate, planning stage and the type of support being considered. That will help the company advise whether full planning, partial planning, Wedding Day Management or a Simply Wed® option is appropriate.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, ask which service level best matches the work already completed, the exact start point for coordination, and who will be on site at the wedding. For Wedding Day Management, confirm the number of assistants, rehearsal role, coverage hours, personal-decor set-up scope and the final timeline handoff.

Also confirm the current package price, payment milestones, cancellation and change terms, travel radius and mileage calculation, venue-specific requirements, and whether the desired Simply Wed® wedding or elopement format is available for the date. Since the official site does not give an office address, couples should verify the practical meeting format and any location-based fees in writing.
