Courtney Elizabeth Events

Last reviewed: July 30, 2026. Business status: Active. Courtney Elizabeth Events is an Ottawa-based luxury wedding planning, design and production company serving local and international celebrations. Its current official website is live, carries a 2026 copyright notice, presents recent wedding work and accepts detailed inquiries for new events.

The old residential address previously displayed on this directory page is not published on the current official website and has been removed. A current Fairmont Le Château Frontenac wedding guide confirms the company’s website, 613-240-0449 telephone number and info@courtneyelizabethevents.com email.

What Courtney Elizabeth Events does

The company specializes in full-service wedding and event planning, design and production. The official services page describes involvement from concept through completion, including logistics, planning, design and execution. The homepage also highlights destination events and multi-day celebrations.

The business says it accepts only a limited number of full-service clients each year so it can provide a personalized, concierge-style planning process. Owner and lead planner Courtney Leeder is identified on the official About page. Public positioning is clearly luxury and full-service rather than high-volume or basic day-of coordination.

Wedding planning services and geography

Official services include local and international wedding planning, event design and production. The company presents intimate destination weddings, large celebrations and multi-day wedding experiences, and says its scope is customized to each couple’s vision and needs.

PartySlate also lists full-service, destination, partial, month-of and day-of planning, large-scale production and event design. However, the current official site emphasizes full planning and design and does not advertise every one of those smaller scopes. Couples seeking partial planning or coordination-only help should ask whether it is currently offered rather than assuming availability.

Planning approach

The official site describes an integrated process covering planning, aesthetics, logistics and execution. This may include developing the design direction, building the vendor team, managing schedules and decisions, coordinating guest-facing details, and overseeing production. Exact deliverables are not itemized publicly, so the contract should define the planner’s responsibilities, communication schedule, vendor-management role and on-site staffing.

The inquiry form asks for event location, estimated guest count, event date, flexibility and contact details. Preparing those items along with an approximate budget, destination requirements and number of planned events will make the initial conversation more useful.

Courtney Elizabeth Events pricing

The official website does not publish planning fees, package prices or a minimum event budget. Pricing is provided after an inquiry and should be confirmed in a written proposal.

PartySlate currently shows a third-party “minimum spend” of $100,000 and describes the fee as a minimum planning fee plus an overall percentage. This is not an official quote, and the listing does not clearly separate the total event-budget threshold from the planner’s own fee. Confirm the current minimum budget, base planning fee, percentage calculation, taxable amounts, travel, accommodation, staffing and production-management charges directly.

Who this planner may suit

Courtney Elizabeth Events may suit couples planning a luxury wedding, destination celebration or multi-day event who want one lead team involved in design, logistics and execution from concept to completion. The limited-client model may appeal to couples seeking a highly personalized and involved planning relationship.

It may be less suitable for couples seeking published package prices, a low-cost coordination-only service or an immediately bookable standard package. Those options are not presented on the current official website. Couples with a modest or still-undefined budget should clarify minimums before investing significant time in the inquiry process.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Confirmed strengths: the official site clearly identifies the owner, full-service specialty, destination and international availability, multi-day experience, luxury positioning, limited annual client load and a substantial portfolio. A current Fairmont wedding guide independently confirms the direct telephone, email and website.

Practical limitations: the official site does not publish current fees, budget minimums, package inclusions, team size, planning timeline, cancellation terms, travel policies or consultation address. Partial, month-of and day-of services appear on PartySlate but are not emphasized on the current official services page. Third-party pricing should not be treated as binding.
