Everything you need to know before reaching out to us.
GETTING STARTED
Q: What exactly does CM Events Planners do?
We are a full-service event planning and coordination company based in Edmonton, Alberta. We bring your vision to life from intimate gatherings to large-scale celebrations. Whether you’re planning a wedding, a corporate function, a birthday party, an anniversary, a proposal, a retreat or a private event, we handle the details so you can be fully present in the moment.
Q: How do I know if I need a planner or just a coordinator?
Great question and one we get often.
- A planner works with you from the very beginning. We help you build your vision, set your budget, select vendors, manage timelines and bring everything together from day one.
- A coordinator steps in closer to your event date. We take over the logistics, confirm vendors, manage the day-of timeline and make sure everything runs smoothly so you don’t have to.
Not sure which one you need? That’s exactly what our discovery call is for.
Q: How do I get started with CM Events Planners?
Simple. Reach out to us through our website or DM us on Instagram and we’ll schedule a discovery call. This is a no-pressure conversation where we learn about your event, understand your vision and help you figure out the best way we can support you.
OUR SERVICES
Q: What types of events do you plan and coordinate?
We work across a wide range of events, including:
- Weddings (full planning & day-of coordination)
- Birthday parties & milestone celebrations
- Corporate events & team retreats
- Anniversaries & vow renewals
- Proposals
- Retreats & private gatherings
- Any special occasion worth celebrating
If you have something in mind that isn’t on this list, reach out anyway, chances are we can help.
Q: Do you only plan weddings?
Not at all. While weddings are a big part of what we do, we love working on all kinds of events. From intimate proposals to large corporate functions, every event we touch gets the same level of care, creativity, and professionalism.
Q: Can you help with just one part of my event — like décor or day-of management?
Yes. We understand that not everyone needs full planning support. Some clients come to us for day-of coordination only. Others need help with a specific element. We’ll listen to what you need and build a scope of work that makes sense for your situation.
Q: Do you handle vendor sourcing and recommendations?
Absolutely. Over the years, we’ve built strong relationships with trusted vendors in Edmonton photographers, caterers, florists, venues, entertainers and more. We connect you with the right people for your vision and budget and we manage those relationships on your behalf.
WORKING WITH US
Q: What does the discovery call involve?
A discovery call is a short, relaxed conversation, no pressure, no commitment. We use it to:
- Hear about your event and what you’re envisioning
- Understand your priorities and concerns
- Share how we work and what we offer
- Answer any questions you have about the process
From there, if it feels like a good fit, we’ll move forward together.
Q: How far in advance should I reach out?
The sooner, the better, especially for weddings. Popular dates, venues, and vendors fill up quickly in Edmonton. We recommend reaching out at least 9–12 months before your wedding date and 3–6 months before other events. That said, if your timeline is shorter, don’t hesitate to contact us, we’ll always do our best to help.
Q: What if I already have some vendors booked — can you still help?
Absolutely. We can step into your planning process at any stage. We’ll review what’s already in place, identify any gaps and take it from there. You don’t need to start from scratch to work with us
Q: Will I work directly with you throughout the process?
Yes. When you work with TM Events Planners, you have direct access to our team. We believe strong communication is the foundation of a smooth event and we are committed to being responsive, clear and present throughout our time working together.
Q: How do you handle unexpected changes or emergencies on the event day?
This is where having a professional coordinator truly makes a difference. We are trained to handle the unexpected, vendor no-shows, weather changes, timing shifts and last-minute surprises. Our job on event day is to shield you from the chaos so you can enjoy every moment.

Q: Are you based in Edmonton?

Q: Do you travel for events outside Edmonton?
