Bowtied With Love Weddings & Events is a Kingston wedding planner offering planning, coordination, design and officiating services. Its official website lists work in Kingston, Prince Edward County, Ottawa, Toronto and destinations beyond, with options ranging from full planning to micro-weddings, elopements and legal marriage ceremonies.

Couples can use this profile to compare the documented service levels and published starting fees before contacting the company. Bowtied With Love provides useful detail online, but the final scope, travel costs, staffing needs and date availability depend on the celebration. No verified street address is published in the supplied official evidence, so couples should confirm where meetings take place and whether services are delivered at their chosen venue.

Services and specialization

The official services page identifies four main levels of wedding support: full planning, partial planning, event management and event design. Full planning includes help building a budget, refining the couple's style and vision, finding vendors, managing quotes and contracts, and coordinating wedding-day details. Partial planning is positioned for couples who have already secured their venue and essential vendors but want guidance with remaining vendors, timelines, logistics and wedding-day coordination.

Event management is the company's term for day-of coordination plus key meetings before the wedding. The site says this service typically begins six months before the event and includes reviewing logistics, refining the timeline, confirming vendors, finalizing ceremony and reception details, managing the wedding-day schedule, coordinating the creative team and styling personal décor.

Separate design support covers mood boards, mockups, floor plans, tablescapes, rentals, florals and finishing details. Bowtied With Love also offers planning for micro-weddings and elopements, including logistics, vendor referrals, design, styling and setup. The exact inclusions for these smaller celebrations are customized rather than presented as one standard package.

Ceremony and officiant options

The company's officiant page identifies Matthew and Heather as Kingston-based wedding officiants licensed in Ontario. They describe their approach as inclusive of interfaith, non-denominational, spiritual and 2SLGBTQI+ couples. Their standard wedding ceremony can be tailored to a couple's story and may include guidance on vows and special ceremony elements, subject to the legal requirements of an Ontario marriage.

A shorter Make It Legal ceremony is also listed for couples who want to be legally married at an Ontario location of their choice. The official page says this option is available on weekdays, Sundays and off-season Saturdays from October through May. Availability is not guaranteed, and couples should ask whether their preferred location, date and timing qualify.

The stated process includes an initial enquiry and meeting, a contract and booking fee, preparation of the ceremony script, obtaining a marriage licence within 90 days before the ceremony, completing the ceremony and submitting the legal paperwork. The company says pre-ceremony guidance, a post-ceremony detail guide and a backup officiant are included.

Service area and who it may suit

Bowtied With Love lists wedding-planning work in Kingston, Prince Edward County, Ottawa, Toronto and destinations beyond. Its officiants say they regularly serve Kingston, Prince Edward County, the Thousand Islands, Toronto and other Ontario locations. Travel charges or accommodation needs may apply, so this geographic coverage should not be read as an all-inclusive travel promise.

The range may suit couples seeking one provider for both planning and officiating, as well as couples who need only one defined stage of support. Full planning is the broadest option; partial planning is intended for those who already have a venue and key vendors; event management may fit couples who have planned most details but want professional logistical support before and during the wedding. Custom micro-wedding and elopement services may suit smaller celebrations that still involve design, vendors or guest-flow planning.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the breadth of service levels presented on the official site. Couples can compare full planning, partial planning and event management rather than treating all coordination as interchangeable. The company also publishes starting prices for these planning levels and fixed base fees for its two officiant options, which provides an initial budgeting reference.

Another documented feature is the combination of planning and licensed officiating. The official Kingston venue guide also states that the team has worked with the listed local venues and presents practical observations about venue logistics. That guide can demonstrate local context, but venue capacities, inclusions and availability should always be verified directly with each venue.

Important limitations remain. The supplied official pages do not establish a public meeting or office address. Custom pricing is required for micro-weddings and elopements, and no price is displayed for event design. Published planning prices are starting points rather than complete quotes, while travel, accommodation and additional resources may increase the total.

Pricing

The official planning page states that Full Planning starts at $7,500, Partial Planning starts at $4,200 and Event Management starts at $2,500. It also says travel, accommodation and additional resources may be required depending on the full scope of service. Micro-wedding and elopement package rates are available by enquiry. Event Design prices are not published.

On the officiant page, a personalized Wedding Ceremony is listed at $500 plus tax and travel if applicable. The Make It Legal Ceremony is listed at $375 plus tax and travel if applicable. Optional witnesses are stated to cost $50 each. The company also notes a separate $15 fee paid directly to ServiceOntario when a couple applies for the official marriage certificate.

These figures should be treated as the company's published starting fees or stated ceremony fees, not as a final wedding budget. Couples should request a written quote identifying taxes, travel, accommodation, additional staffing or resources, booking payments, and every included planning or ceremony deliverable.

Contact and booking

The official officiant page directs couples to use the company's contact form or call or text 613-541-9774. For a quick officiant availability check, the page asks couples to text their name, ceremony date and location. The company says officiating may be booked from 12 months to a few days before the ceremony, subject to availability, and asks couples with dates more than 12 months away to make contact closer to the event.

For planning services, couples should begin with an enquiry and provide enough detail for the team to assess fit and scope. Useful information includes the date, venue or target region, estimated guest count, planning progress, desired service level and whether officiating is also required. A response or consultation does not itself establish a confirmed booking; couples should rely on the final contract and payment terms.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, ask for a service-specific proposal rather than assuming that every task described across the website is included. Confirm the exact planning start date, meeting schedule, communication method, vendor-management responsibilities, number of staff attending, setup and teardown duties, décor handling, rehearsal attendance and the hours covered on the wedding day.

Couples planning outside Kingston should confirm travel charges, accommodation, mileage boundaries and any additional resources required. For officiating, verify the ceremony type, customization process, rehearsal involvement, backup arrangements and responsibility for obtaining the marriage licence and ordering the marriage certificate. Couples considering the Make It Legal option should also confirm that their date falls within its stated scheduling parameters.

Finally, request current prices and written payment, cancellation and rescheduling terms. Ask whether taxes are additional, what the booking fee covers and whether optional witnesses are available for the chosen date. Since no verified public address appears in the supplied evidence, confirm whether consultations are virtual, held at another agreed location or available in person.
