Atelier 500

Last reviewed: September 23, 2026. Business status: Active.

Atelier 500 is a Montreal wedding planner and designer offering several levels of planning, creative and coordination support. Its official website describes the business as a boutique wedding design and planning studio in Montréal, with services intended to create cohesive celebrations shaped around each couple's story and priorities.

Couples can enquire about Full Planning & Design, Partial Planning & Design, Wedding Day Coordination, standalone Wedding Design, Custom Décor & Styling, or à la carte assistance. The distinctions between these options are useful, but the final scope is personalized through an initial conversation and custom proposal. Prices are not published, so couples need to request a quote and confirm exactly what their proposal covers. Last reviewed: September 23, 2026.

Services and specialization

Atelier 500 combines logistical planning with visual design. Its most comprehensive option, Full Planning & Design, includes an initial consultation, budget creation and management, timelines, venue and vendor recommendations, vendor communication, contract review, creative direction, design boards, floor plans, 3D venue renderings, final confirmations, rehearsal coordination and wedding-day coordination.

Partial Planning & Design is positioned for couples who have already begun planning and want professional help refining what remains. The published inclusions cover consultations, timeline refinement, vendor recommendations, budget review, design development, design boards, 3D renderings, final logistics and coordination on the wedding day.

The Wedding Day Coordination option shifts the focus to final preparations and event execution. Listed tasks include a final planning meeting, vendor confirmations, a detailed timeline, ceremony coordination, reception management, décor setup supervision and serving as the vendors' point of contact.

• Full Planning & Design for support from early planning through the wedding day
• Partial Planning & Design for plans already underway
• Wedding Day Coordination for final logistics and event management
• Wedding Design for concept development and creative direction
• Custom Décor & Styling for bespoke visual elements
• À La Carte services for selected planning, design or coordination tasks

Wedding design and custom details

Couples who want to manage their own planning can consider the standalone Wedding Design service. Atelier 500 lists a design consultation, concept development, mood boards, colour and material selection, venue styling recommendations, tablescape concepts, floor plans, 3D venue renderings, a complete wedding design book, vendor styling guidelines and implementation recommendations.

Custom Décor & Styling covers handcrafted elements made for an individual celebration. The official list includes welcome signs, seating charts, table numbers and menus, place cards, signature-drink signs, ceremony signage, favour displays, faux floral arrangements, candle styling and custom installations. The precise deliverables would depend on the agreed project scope.

• Design work is described as a cohesive visual identity rather than decoration alone
• Planning and design can be combined or selected separately
• Custom décor projects are quoted according to the couple's vision and scope

Service area and who it may suit

The official website identifies Atelier 500 with Montréal. It may suit couples looking for one studio to connect practical planning with creative direction, as well as couples who need only a defined portion of that support.

The range is structured for different starting points. A couple at the beginning can enquire about comprehensive planning; someone with vendors or plans already in place can consider partial planning; and a couple handling most decisions independently can ask about design-only, coordination or à la carte work. The website does not publish a detailed travel radius or list of destinations, so service outside Montréal should be confirmed directly.

• Couples seeking both logistical and visual planning
• Couples who have started planning but need help completing it
• Self-planning couples wanting wedding-day management
• Couples requiring selected design, stationery, timeline or coordination tasks

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature of Atelier 500 is the breadth of work listed within its planning packages. Budgeting, vendor communication, contract review, timelines, design development, layouts, renderings and on-the-day coordination can be addressed within the published service structure. Another practical feature is the choice between comprehensive, partial and individually selected support.

The main limitations are gaps in publicly available details rather than stated shortcomings. The official page does not provide a street address, telephone number, detailed service radius, team information, capacity or current availability. It also does not set out fixed package fees. Couples should therefore treat the website's inclusion lists as a starting point and use the custom proposal to establish exact responsibilities, quantities, deadlines and costs.

• Documented combination of planning, design and coordination
• Multiple service levels for different stages of planning
• No official street address or telephone number published in the supplied evidence
• No published travel policy, availability calendar or package prices

Pricing

Prices are not published. The website says each project begins with a no-commitment call, followed by an offer tailored to the couple's needs rather than a generic package. Custom décor is also quoted according to the vision and scope.

When requesting a proposal, couples should ask for an itemized description of services, payment schedule, applicable taxes and any costs that may be added for travel, extra coordination hours, production, materials, installation or teardown. These terms are not specified in the supplied official evidence and should not be assumed.

• Request a quote for the selected planning or design scope
• Confirm whether custom décor materials and production are included
• Ask how revisions, extra hours and scope changes are priced
• Confirm deposit, instalment, cancellation and rescheduling terms

Contact and booking

Atelier 500 publishes hello@atelier500.com and an online enquiry form. The stated process has four stages: a first conversation about the couple's vision, date and support needs; a custom proposal; design and planning; and wedding-day delivery.

The form allows couples to identify their area of interest, including Full Planning & Design, Partial Planning & Design, Wedding Day Coordination, Wedding Design, Custom Décor & Styling, À La Carte Services or an undecided option. Providing the wedding date, venue status, planning progress and required services should help define the enquiry.

• Email: hello@atelier500.com
• Website enquiry form available on the official site
• Prepare the wedding date, venue details and preferred service level
• Use the written proposal to verify scope before booking

What couples should confirm

Before signing, couples should confirm whether Atelier 500 is available for their date and venue, and whether the work will be delivered directly by the studio or with additional team members. They should also establish the number and format of meetings, communication expectations and the precise start and end points for wedding-day coverage.

For design and décor work, confirm who sources, creates, transports, installs and removes each item. For planning services, clarify which vendor communications and contract reviews are included, while remembering that contract review by a planner should not be assumed to be legal advice. Couples planning outside Montréal should request written details about travel eligibility and expenses.

• Availability for the date and venue
• Named team members and wedding-day staffing
• Included meetings, revisions and response expectations
• Hours and responsibilities for ceremony and reception coordination
• Ownership, delivery, setup and removal of décor pieces
