The entire experience was flawless
“We couldn’t have had half the wedding we did without Morgan from LFW. She was on top of EVERYTHING and so incredibly kind and personable. Always there to answer questions (we had never been to Banff and were coming from the USA for our wedding, so we heavily relied on her opinion and expertise!). The entire experience was flawless. From the planning to the actual day, when we had to make a few last-minute changes, Morgan was a perfectionist and made our day unforgettable. We cannot thank LFW enough, and would recommend them to anyone who wants their entire wedding planning experience, and their day, to be perfectly unforgettable.” — Sarah Busse, Google Review
The perfect wedding planning team!!
“If you’re planning on getting married in Alberta, Canada, there is no better company than LFW to make your dream wedding come true! I’m a bride from Dallas, Texas, and we had the pleasure of working with Mackenzie to plan our destination wedding. Our experience from beginning to end was amazing! We put all trust in Mackenzie, and she did not disappoint. Everyone we interacted with, from the initial consult to the day of the wedding, was so helpful and kind! All of the details, from the timing, decor, and execution of the wedding was fantastic! The communication and organization made the planning process stress-free. We are so grateful to have found LFW and would highly recommend them for anyone needing the perfect wedding planning team!!” — Ashley Rios, Google Review

Due to their high-touch, personalized party planning offerings, expect their services to be a premium investment.
Threw us the most spectacular wedding
“If you’re on the fence about getting a wedding planner, my advice is DO IT!!! Carley and her team did an amazing job planning and managing almost all aspects of our wedding. Carley was so incredibly creative, detail-oriented, and organized, and I’m so grateful to have had her services when planning such an important day. It was the best investment we could have possibly made for ourselves, and the Good Party threw us the most spectacular (and stress-free) wedding. Thank you so much for all of your hard work, team!” — Kristina Goyert, Google Review
Helped us plan the most epic launch party
“The Good Party helped us plan the most epic launch party for our new company The Bubble Bus Co. at the HCP Gardens. We would have been lost without Emma and the team as they flawlessly brought together our vision. From coordinating our vendors, balloon installs and design, The Good Party, made it easy for us to sit back, relax and enjoy ourselves. No detail was missed and we look forward to working with them again.

Phone: +1 403-585-5224
Business hours:
- Monday: 12 PM–5 PM

Fiore Fine Events was founded by Ashley-Dawn. After realizing that nursing isn’t her calling, she pivoted to Theatre College, where she fell in love with stage management and storytelling—the perfect ingredients for a master wedding planner.
Wedding Management is her bread and butter. Her team steps in 8 to 10 weeks before your big day to make sure no tiny detail is overlooked.
Amore, or Design and Management, is available, too. They walk you through a complete design process, even creating moodboards and design budgets.
And because every couple is unique, their list of à la carte services is pretty popular. You can book a 1:1 Planning Session or let them handle specific tasks like vendor sourcing and website creation.
It’s not surprising that this level of bespoke services comes at a cost.
