ABOUT


IT'S ABOUT HONOURING YOUR VISION AND ELEVATING YOUR GUESTS' EXPERIENCE.

You want your wedding to be a celebration of you that reflects your values and lifestyle.

You cherish love, laughter & quality time and you want to ensure that your guests have an amazing time at your wedding.

Well, that's what I want for you too!

I plan and design personal and stress-free weddings with a calm, organized, and reassuring presence so you can actually enjoy your wedding day along with your people.


Hey, I'm Jess Stacey! I am the owner and lead planner at Bonafide Events Studio. My style is earthy, natural, and organic yet refined. I’m easy going but thorough.

When we work together, my goal is to supply you with a personalized experience providing you with knowledgeable advice and creative ideas. 

Starting out as a hairstylist has taught me a lot about people. It’s no wonder I went on to take Sociology at Brock University. It was there that I discovered my passion for planning.

I obtained my event management certification through Mohawk College and I am also a certified wedding coordinator with the Wedding Planners Institute of Canada.

When I'm not planning weddings you will find me outdoors, soaking up the sun with my extremely funny & kind-hearted partner Scott, our beautiful children Ellis & Vida and our playful pup Ollie! 

I'm all about sharing moments and spending quality time with my friends and family.

Let's Connect

Happy Couples

  • My husband and I could NOT have pulled off the incredibly gorgeous wedding we had without Jessica Stacey from Bonafide Events Studio! She went above and beyond every step of the process and smoothed out every unexpected hiccup with calm and reassuring composure. She always seems to have a connection for whatever services you might need and is always ready with a can-do attitude. She even helped us to stand our ground on our 'vision' for the ceremony when both our families were insisting we change it, and in the end, it was exactly what we wanted and I'm so glad. She's amazing and incredibly organized and if you're considering assistance with your event, I can't recommend her enough!
