Before I was an independent planner, I spent over a decade behind the scenes of Toronto’s most iconic, high-volume heritage venues. My career wasn't built behind a desk—it was forged on the vibrant floors of massive historic breweries and grand, palatial ballrooms. Moving seamlessly between roles as a banquet manager, operations manager, and sales coordinator, I lived and breathed the full lifecycle of hundreds of premium events. I didn’t just learn how to plan an event; I learned how to build one from the ground up.
Ten years inside major institutions taught me a vital lesson: true luxury isn't just about beautiful decor—it’s about flawless operational execution. I noticed a consistent gap in the industry where brilliant design concepts would falter on event day because a planner didn't understand loading docks, banquet kitchen pacing, or venue logistics. I founded Maison Antoine Planning to bridge that gap. As your planner, I bring an unrivaled insider's perspective, acting as your ultimate advocate, contract negotiator, and strategic director.
Every event we produce at Maison Antoine Planning benefits from a dual approach: a breathtaking aesthetic vision married to bulletproof logistics. Because I speak the fluent language of venue coordinators, AV crews, and caterers, I anticipate bottlenecks before they happen and solve problems before you ever know they exist. We don't guess how an event will flow; we engineer it with a level of precision that allows you to simply step back and enjoy your milestone.
Maison Antoine Planning was built to give you total peace of mind. We intentionally limit our calendar each year to ensure that your celebration receives the meticulous care, operational mastery, and dedicated advocacy it deserves. When you look back at your event, I want you to remember the laughter, the atmosphere, and the magic—not the logistics. Let’s use a decade of insider expertise to create your unforgettable experience.
