If you love a good party, all that matters is having fun, right? But anyone who’s tried throwing one knows it’s way more complicated than it looks. That’s why a lot of people I know just leave it to the pros, and you can too.
Calgary is packed with talented party planners, and our team has rounded up the ones we’d actually trust to throw a bash. We talked to locals, ran polls, and even reached out to some planners to get the inside scoop on who really delivers.

1. Jennifer James Events
Address: Suite 808, 234 5149 Country Hills Blvd NW
Phone: +1 403-294-1644
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday: 9 AM – 5 PM
- Saturday to Sunday: Closed
Jennifer James Events shines when there’s a purpose behind a party. They’re one of the top party planners in Calgary for corporate parties, charity fundraisers, conferences, and branded events.
Their work on the Jamboree for Charity is a great example. They use strong Western themes, local musicians, and community involvement. It’s all tied together.
They handle pretty much everything under one roof. We’ve heard they’ve handled conferences, meetings, and even large-scale golf tournaments with over 500 people.
Feedback told us a lot about how they manage things. People kept mentioning how calm and solution-focused Jennifer is, even when things get complicated.
Even though they work big corporate events, clients consistently say they feel heard and looked after.
They’re organised, but not cold. Structured, but still creative.
However, they might not be the right fit if you’re planning a very personal party (like a super intimate birthday or a casual family celebration).
They can do intimate parties, and reviews confirm that, but it’s not where they really flex their muscles.
Jennifer James Events exceeds all expectations!
“Jennifer James Events exceeds all expectations! Her exceptional organizational skills ensures every event detail is flawlessly executed. Jennifer’s client-first approach makes you feel valued and heard throughout the entire process. She’s not just a planner; she’s a problem-solver, effortlessly tackling any challenge head-on. Her professionalism, passion and creativity truly shine, making her events unforgettable. Highly recommend!”

She always makes a point to check in
“I’ve had the joy of capturing a few events Jennifer has produced and it’s always been such a great experience. Not only does she create a space that is beautiful to capture on camera, but she always makes a point to check in and make sure I have what I need as well. If any adjustments are needed, she’s quick to respond or knows exactly who to have me talk with. I highly recommend her for your events!”

2. LP Events
Phone: +1 403-969-7572
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday: 9 AM – 5 PM
- Saturday to Sunday: Closed
LP Events makes parties feel effortless. They take care of everything, from budgets and vendors to catering and entertainment.
While they started with weddings, they’re just as comfortable handling other events. They have experience in handling corporate parties, holiday events, and team-building parties.
What sets them apart from other party planners in Calgary is their experience with big, complicated parties. We’ve heard that they’ve handled celebrity appearances and sponsorships.
That’s why we found the team ideal for those who plan high-profile or intricate events, where every detail counts and someone needs to keep it all on track.
Lesley Plumley leads the small but focused team. She brings creativity, attention to detail, and a personal touch to every party.
A lot of the people we spoke to said she’s a joy to have around.
That said, clients with a tighter budget might find their full planning packages a bit steep.
Lesley is passionate and it shows in every aspect of her work
“Lesley and LP Events are incredible in every sense of the word. Lesley is passionate and it shows in every aspect of her work. I have worked closely with her and have seen her professionalism first hand. Her great personality shines in each event that she takes on. Her expertise and her compassion ensure success in all she does.”

She is one of the best people to know and someone who will always have your back
“Lesley is incredible! She goes above and beyond what is expected of an event planner, she becomes your friend, your person, she makes you feel so comfortable, well respected and loved. She is one of the best people to know and someone who will always have your back…”

3. Champagne N Caviar
Contact: [email protected]
Business hours:
- Monday: Closed
- Tuesday to Wednesday: 9 AM – 6 PM
- Thursday: 9 AM – 5 PM
- Friday: Closed
- Saturday to Sunday: Closed
Champaign N Caviar is a great choice if you’re looking for a great wedding planner in Calgary. Chloe and Cassey have a knack for taking a couple’s vision and executing it.
A couple with a wedding of 250 guests highlighted how their team handled every detail. They handled vendor coordination and kept the bridal party looking sharp.
The result? The couple actually enjoyed their own celebration without the stress.
From looking at their portfolio, their style blends modern touches with classic elegance. They bring a strong sense of place to their parties, especially in Calgary and the Rocky Mountains.
Natural motifs, scenic venue integrations, and thoughtful decor are all part of the package too.
Beyond planning and coordination, they offer styling and custom decor design. They can also help with invitations and day-of support, making the planning process even more stress-free.
Where they might not be the best fit is for parties outside of weddings. Their portfolio shows less experience with milestone birthdays, corporate parties, or even non-wedding celebrations.
Clients looking for someone with broader party expertise might need to consider that.
The team was not only organized and efficient but also incredibly friendly
“We can’t express enough how grateful we are for the exceptional coordination service provided by Chloe and her team for our wedding reception this summer! The team was not only organized and efficient but also incredibly friendly, making the planning process enjoyable. Meetings were planned leading up to the day to discuss our wedding day details and building the timeline…”
– Mylynn Lam, Google review
I can attest to how beautifully their vision came together
“I had the absolute pleasure of working with CNC on a shoot and can attest to how beautifully their vision came together due to their hard work and planning. Chloe and Cassey are not only incredibly talented professionals, but down to earth and friendly – qualities that every couple should look for in a wedding planner. I’m confident that any couple looking to hire CNC for their wedding day will be more than thrilled with their work!”

4. High Style Events
Phone: +1 403-512-5171
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday: 9 AM – 7 PM
- Saturday to Sunday: 9 AM – 5 PM
Among all the other event planners in Calgary we’ve looked into, we found High Style Events the most versatile. They do kids’ and adult birthdays, anniversaries, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and even baby showers.
They’re also strong in the corporate space. We’ve heard they handle company parties and branded experiences across Calgary.
We were really impressed with how they manage every part of a party. They cover timelines, vendors, and logistics.
One of their biggest strengths is the luxury and style they bring to events. Their team has a clear eye for cohesive design, thoughtful details, and visually striking setups.
We also heard a lot of great feedback not only from clients, but also from those who’ve worked with them.
Rashi, the head of the company, was said to be great at planning and organising. Everything is always smooth and on schedule.
On the downside, their services come at a high price point compared with other planners. They’re not ideal for those with limited budgets.
I was very impressed at how she planned and organized the event
“Rashi at High Style Events is absolutely amazing! I had the pleasure of working for her as a vendor and I was very impressed at how she planned and organized the event. Everything went smooth and according to plan. Clients were very happy as well. I would happily work with High Style Events in the future as well as confidently recommend their services to my clients.”
– Anatoli Barbu, Google review
She took care of everything we needed and more!
“Rashi was a huge help organizing a party at our home, took care of everything we needed and more! Decorations, rentals, DJ, bartender, photographer — all fantastic, went smoothly. Highly committed. Thank you!!”

5. Epic Events & Weddings
Phone: +1 403-589-3900
Business hours:
- Monday to Thursday: 10 AM – 5 PM
- Friday: 10 AM – 4 PM
- Saturday to Sunday: Closed
The Epic Events & Weddings is one of Calgary’s best wedding party planners. Whether it’s a mountain wedding or a big cultural ceremony, they’ve clearly mastered it.
They offer full planning and day-of support. They even help with budgets, guest lists, and vendor recommendations.
One thing that stands out is that they combine planning with in-house decor rentals. Instead of juggling a bunch of vendors for table linens, decorations, and setups, clients can get it all through them.
Faye and her team are hands-on throughout. It’s impressive that they know how to work around weather changes, sort out vendors if anything goes wrong, and even clean up after the party.
We’ve heard of an instance where they even delivered leftover items straight to the clients’ hotel room so they didn’t have to lift a finger.
Guests and families we talked to have commented on how lovely and organised the team was.
The downside? They don’t seem to have as much experience outside weddings.
They did such a great job helping me with everything
“Faye and Ashley were absolutely amazing. They did such a great job helping me with everything from decorating to organizing the wedding party. They helped coordinate and pick up everything from my vendors (flowers, cake, etc.) which helped take off a lot of pressure. When a guest spilled red wine down my dress they literally scrubbed it in the sink for me! Did such a good job my guests couldn’t tell. I can’t recommend Epic Events enough!”
– Lindsay Lambe, Google review
The investment is well worth it in the end!
“We hired Faye and her team for day of coordination. She was absolutely amazing. From our first meeting to the big day she made sure everything went flawlessly. We were on a very strict timeline for the big day and everything went perfect. Not only was she there to help with the day of and everything prior to, but she was also there when I really needed someone to talk to and yes cry to when a certain someone in my bridal party decieded to drop a bomb on me 2 weeks before the big day and I felt like my whole wedding was ruined. Faye saved the day. And I can honestly say that the day wouldn’t have been perfect if I had not hired her. Faye you are amazing! So brides to be, if you need a wedding planning I highly recommend using Faye. The investment is well worth it in the end!”
