Last reviewed: August 13, 2026. The Ottawa Wedding Planner listing is currently represented by Courtney Elizabeth Events. The active official website identifies Courtney Leeder as owner and lead planner, and presents the business as a full-service wedding planning and design firm. For couples searching for an Ottawa destination wedding planner, the site’s portfolio includes work labelled Ottawa, Canada, while its service pages describe planning for local and international celebrations.

The current evidence supports a focused profile rather than the broad legacy service list previously attached to this page. Courtney Elizabeth Events publicly emphasizes full-service planning, design and production, destination events and multi-day celebrations. The site does not publish a postal address, direct phone number, package list or prices, so those details should be confirmed through the official enquiry form before any booking decision.

Current business identity

Courtney Elizabeth Events is the current official business name connected to this listing’s verified website. Its homepage and portfolio identify the company as a destination wedding planner, while the about page names Courtney Leeder as owner and lead planner. This is the name couples should use when researching the business or submitting an enquiry.

The business presents a planning-led service, rather than a venue, décor rental company or wedding marketplace. Its public material centres on planning, design and production for custom celebrations. That distinction matters when comparing quotes: ask whether each prospective supplier is responsible for the overall planning scope, a design component, or only event-day coordination.

Official brand: Courtney Elizabeth Events.
Named lead: Courtney Leeder, owner and lead planner.

Services and specialization

The official services page states that Courtney Elizabeth Events specializes in full-service wedding and event planning, design and production. It describes involvement from concept to completion, including logistics, planning, design and execution. The homepage also identifies full-service planning, destination events and multi-day celebrations as the principal areas of work.

The service description says that scope is customized to each couple’s vision. That supports asking for a written outline of what is included for a particular event rather than assuming that every planning task is standard. The current official site specifically highlights full planning and design; it does not set out separate standalone packages for partial planning, month-of coordination or day-of coordination.

Service area and who it may suit

The official site says the team works both locally and internationally, and its portfolio shows celebrations in Ottawa, elsewhere in Canada and the United States. This supports considering the firm for an Ottawa wedding as well as for a destination celebration. It does not, however, publish a fixed geographic service boundary, travel-fee policy or a list of routinely served regions.

This may suit couples seeking one planning partner across a detailed celebration, particularly where design, logistics and multiple event moments need to be considered together. Couples with a simple local event or a narrowly defined coordination need should describe that requirement early and confirm whether the firm’s current full-service model is a fit.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the firm’s integrated full-service approach: the official services page explicitly connects logistics, planning, design and execution. Another is its stated select-client model. The business says it takes on a limited number of full-service clients each year, which is a documented operating approach rather than a promise of availability.

Practical limits remain. The public pages reviewed do not state how many events are accepted, the team assigned to an event, response times, travel expenses, insurance, contract terms or contingency arrangements. These are important booking questions, especially for a destination or multi-day celebration, and should be confirmed in writing.

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published. The official website does not list planning fees, starting prices, minimum spends, percentage fees, travel charges, tax treatment, payment schedule or cancellation terms on the pages reviewed.

Request a written proposal that identifies the planning scope, fee structure, expenses that may be billed separately, applicable taxes and payment milestones. For destination or multi-day events, clarify which travel, accommodation, vendor-management and on-site production costs are included or excluded before signing.

Contact and booking

The official contact page provides an enquiry form. It asks prospective clients for a description of the event, how they heard about the business, event location, estimated guest count, date flexibility, phone number, email address and name. This is the current public booking route verified for the business.

No public postal address or direct telephone number was found on the official pages reviewed, so neither is reproduced here. Use the official form and retain a copy of the submitted enquiry and any proposal received. A submitted form is an enquiry, not confirmation that the date is available or booked.

Prepare event location, guest count and date information before enquiring.
Do not rely on legacy address or phone details without direct confirmation.

What couples should confirm

Ask whether the proposed engagement is full-service planning and design, and request a task-by-task scope. Confirm who will be the lead contact, who will attend the celebration, how vendor communication and design decisions are handled, and whether rehearsal, welcome events, brunches or other multi-day elements are included.

For an Ottawa event, confirm the service area and any local meetings or site visits. For a destination event, ask about planning location, travel arrangements, supplier coordination, currency, permits where relevant and expense approvals. In every case, obtain the final fee, taxes, payment recipient, payment schedule, insurance details and cancellation or postponement terms in a written agreement.
