Sandstone Weddings & Special Events Inc. is an Edmonton wedding planner offering consulting, wedding-day coordination, full planning, décor setup and related event services. Its current official website identifies Kimberley Boddez as the owner and lead designer, lists a planning team and publishes detailed descriptions for several wedding packages. The matching company name, Edmonton service context and current contact details establish the official business identity.

The company also operates the Sandstone Ceremony & Photography Venue in Sturgeon County, northwest of St. Albert. Planning services and venue rental are distinct offerings, so couples should confirm whether a proposal covers coordination only, the outdoor ceremony site, décor, outside vendors or a combined arrangement. This profile was last reviewed on August 9, 2026 using the company’s official website.

Services and specialization

Sandstone publishes options for couples needing anything from limited advice to full planning. Hourly consulting can cover design and décor choices, vendor or venue suggestions, budgeting, etiquette, transportation, entertainment and rental options. Its day-of coordination package is intended for couples who have planned the wedding but want professional oversight shortly before and during the event.

The full coordination package begins at least 12 months before the wedding according to the published description. It includes recurring communication, planning for the theme, colour palette, budget and décor, venue and vendor recommendations, venue viewings, rental meetings, rehearsal assistance, timelines and wedding-day oversight. Separate offerings include décor setup and takedown, fully planned ceremony-and-reception packages, rehearsal-dinner planning and destination-wedding assistance.

Service area and who it may suit

The official contact page says planning services are available in Edmonton and surrounding areas. The business may suit couples who want a clearly described coordination package, those who need support with vendor communication and timelines, or couples considering a combined planning and outdoor-ceremony option.

Sandstone also has a dedicated LGBTQ wedding-planning page. It states that the team works with couples across sexual orientations and gender identities and can help identify LGBTQ-friendly vendors. Destination planning is advertised separately, but its geographic limits, travel expenses and destination-specific fees are not published and require a custom discussion.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the amount of package detail available before an enquiry. The official site specifies preparation periods, included meetings, vendor confirmations, rehearsal support, staffing and scheduled wedding-day hours for its principal coordination packages. It also identifies Kimberley Boddez and three team members and describes their planning, coordination, staging or design roles.

Practical limitations concern information that is not published. The site does not display live availability, contract terms in full, cancellation rules, tax treatment or travel charges. Some pages do not show a content-update date, so couples should confirm that every inclusion and price remains valid for their wedding year. The only street address published is for the outdoor ceremony venue; the contact page does not provide a separate planning-office address.

Detailed package scopes are published on the official website.
A complimentary initial one-hour consultation is advertised.
Availability, taxes, travel fees and complete contract conditions require confirmation.

Pricing

Current pricing is explicitly published on the official website. Hourly consulting is listed at $150 for the first hour and $50 for each additional hour. The day-of coordination package starts at $1,950, with a $500 initial payment and the balance due one month before the wedding. Full wedding coordination starts at $4,560, with a $600 initial payment followed by a payment plan and the balance due one month before the wedding.

Décor setup and takedown starts at $895. Fully planned ceremony-and-reception packages start at $12,200 for approximately 50 guests, $13,600 for 75 and $16,200 for 100; additional guests are accepted, while events above 100 are handled outside the package format. The outdoor venue lists a three-hour ceremony rental at $1,950 and optional décor packages at $225 each.

These are starting figures rather than guaranteed quotes. The pages use dollar signs but do not expressly state currency, taxes, travel expenses or all possible surcharges. Couples should request a written, date-specific proposal and clarify whether similarly priced items—such as day-of coordination and ceremony-site rental—are separate charges.

Outdoor ceremony venue

Sandstone’s ceremony and photography venue is at 55023 Range Road 262 in Sturgeon County. The company describes a five-acre ceremony and photography area on a larger rural property, approximately 12 minutes northwest of St. Albert and 20 minutes east of Spruce Grove. Its ceremony package lists bench seating, parking for more than 60 vehicles, an outdoor washroom, a gazebo, a signing table, rehearsal time and staff-managed setup and takedown.

The venue page says couples must obtain wedding liability insurance and provide proof two weeks before the ceremony. Available time slots, weather arrangements, accessibility, guest limits, noise restrictions and the exact reception options should all be confirmed directly. Couples should also use the company’s directions because the page warns that map services may identify the wrong Range Road 262.

Contact and booking

Call or text Kimberley at 780-721-7445. The official contact page also provides an enquiry form requesting the event date, event type, location and required services. Sandstone advertises a complimentary initial one-hour consultation, which is the appropriate time to discuss package fit and whether the desired date is available.

For venue appointments, use the company’s directions rather than relying solely on an automated map. No public opening hours or expected enquiry-response time are stated.

What couples should confirm

Before signing, ask for a complete scope showing when planning begins, the named lead planner, staffing levels, meeting limits and the number of on-site hours. Confirm which vendors the couple contracts and pays directly, whether Sandstone handles final payments, and how overtime or major schedule changes are priced.

A written proposal should also identify taxes, travel, accommodations, rentals, insurance, payment deadlines and cancellation or postponement terms. Venue clients should verify the rain plan, accessibility, washroom arrangements, parking supervision, décor rules and whether a separate reception venue is required. Destination clients should confirm responsibility for travel documents and local legal requirements rather than relying on a general service description.

Confirm the named planner and backup coverage.
Request a current itemized quote for the exact date and guest count.
Clarify whether planning, venue rental and décor are separate contracts.
Review insurance, postponement, cancellation and overtime provisions.
