ABOUT


WE'RE 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 we want for you too!

We 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 customized 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 earned 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 adventurous son Ellis 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

  • About 10 weeks before our big day, I started having meltdowns every night so I contacted Jessica and asked if I could start using her services sooner than anticipated. Within a day she had taken so much off of my plate and covered so many things I hadn't even thought of for my 200 guest wedding. Fast forward to 10 days before our big day and my Photographer goes completely MIA, within 24 hours Jessica had already found us an AMAZING photographer and even negotiated a last-minute contract for us. Jessica is always available to text or call and that made me feel significantly less stressed.
