About Viva la wedding

Sought after professional wedding planner Joan-Anne Cantley is the brains behind Viva la wedding - the first wedding coordination service of its kind in the Ottawa area to specialize exclusively in Wedding Day Management. Catering to the bride and groom who are passionate about the planning process and excited to experience it together, Viva la wedding steps in when the fun of developing your theme is over and a professional is needed to make sure all your hard work pays off and your vision is flawlessly executed on your big day.

Joan-Anne initially meets with each couple soon after they set their date to discuss the basics and then again at the two month mark to talk details. From this point on Joan-Anne becomes your right hand (wo)man. Working closely with each couple and their vendors, her goal is to ensure you have a stress free day and enjoy being the guests of honour at the wedding of your dreams.

Viva la wedding’s strong reputation grew through Joan-Anne’s desire to listen, understand and respect her clients’ wants and needs; her ability to create the perfect fusion of function and style; and her insistence on collaborating with only the best vendors the Ottawa area has to offer. Her clients immediately recognize her enthusiasm and commitment to their wedding. She knows the planning process down to every last detail and is the adhesive that bonds all the elements of your wedding together. She works hard, laughs often and genuinely loves what she does.
