Dear Beautiful Bride,
Congratulations on your engagement! Planning your wedding will be one of the greatest times of your life. At least, I know it was for me.
You see, it wasn’t that long ago that I myself was a bride. In fact, that’s how my career as a wedding planner started. I had been working in the event industry for quite awhile when I got engaged, so I figured that of course I would be planning my own wedding. So I picked up 3 bridal magazines and went to work. But I found out really quickly that planning a wedding wasn’t as easy as J.Lo made it look in the movie, “The Wedding Planner.”
Very quickly my store bought wedding planning book became more useful as a dumping ground for ripped out pages from bridal magazines than it was for actually planning my wedding. I hit up the bookstore and leafed through about 20 wedding planning books and I found that none of them were a good fit for me. They were:
- Outdated
- Too traditional
- Too funky
- Providing limited advice
- Filled with cookie cutter ideas
- All the checklists were paper based
And some were downright bitter (you know the ones I’m talking about that make it
seem like such a drag to plan a wedding)
“Well I really liked the idea of planning my own wedding but
I didn’t want to be lumped into a cookie cutter bride category.”
I wanted something really different, a wedding that my guests would talk about for years afterwards, a wedding that would be incredibly special for me and my husband to be able to look back on.
So I went to the internet to look for answers.
And although I found a lot of useful information on the internet I also found a lot of garbage and to be honest, with the amount of “wedding stuff” out there it was becoming overwhelming sifting through all the generic advice.
I sat down and thought about what I really wanted out of my wedding and compared it to the events I’d worked on in the past:
- In university I led student vacations to Mexico and I learned about dealing with a large group of people who all have needs to be met and questions to answer and how to do this efficiently
- I’d worked at the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences who put on the Juno Awards (Canada’s version of the Grammy’s) and I learned how to organize thousands in seating charts, secure hotel room blocks, and deal with event vendors
- For a time I worked at a promotional products company on accounts like GE and Heinz so I knew the importance of branding
And I realized that everything I’d learned applied directly to weddings.
I began planning my wedding as though it was a marketing campaign- everything about it had to be unique, it had to be out of the box, it had to fit with our personalities, it had to have a consistent theme to pull it all together, it had to be attractive to my target audience (I wanted my guests to be raving), it had to please the sponsors (our parents), and it had to please the client (me and my fiance).

Now it might not sound very romantic to think of a wedding this way but with this out of the box approach I was able to accomplish what I set out to do and more.
“I was able to plan and put on a 4 day wedding weekend
with 125 guests, plated steak dinner, open bar,
in the resort town of Banff
for under $25,000.”

And my guests are still talking about my wedding being the best wedding they’ve ever been to 4 years later.
“Wouldn’t you like to have the same kind of
success with your wedding planning as I did?”
As word got around about my new approach to planning weddings, my client list grew and grew and I quickly became one of the most successful wedding planners in my area. I created a fantastic system that my clients just love because they feel that with my help their wedding is well organized, not stressful, and most of all they have fun planning it!
“Thanks again for all that you did to make our wedding day go so smoothly. Thank you for looking after all of the details. Everything was so organized. I should let you know that I recently recommended your services to a friend.” – Tanya Grierson-Weiler

AND my clients loooovvveeee all the insider information I have on planning weddings. I know what to ask vendors and venues and how they can get the most value for their bridal bucks. And that’s HUGE for a bride and groom who are on a fixed budget but want their wedding to look uber-fabulous.
My clients also really appreciate that I understand the transition that they’re making from single to married and that it’s a BIG thing. The whole process of planning a wedding is a part of the transition, a part of the ritual and it’s a really important element. You may not understand why you’re feeling the way that you’re feeling about your wedding, about your parents, your friends, even your fiance. But I get it, because not only do I work with brides every single day, but I was there too. So I totally get what you’re going through.
“I wanted to just take a moment and thank you for all you have done for Mike and I. Our day would not have been the magical dream it was, without your patience, dedication and support. No words can express the gratitude we feel, in particular me as you were there for me for every bridezilla moment, emotional up or down and the dream moments. I have nothing but accolades for you and your team.“ - Lisa Bliss

One day I had a bride call me and say,
“Ciara, I love the weddings that you do but I really want to plan my own wedding. Do you think that I could just purchase a couple hours of your time to get
your advice and some of your templates and spreadsheets?”
It was then that I realized I had this amazing wedding planning system inside of me and I needed to share it with the do it yourself brides of the world. And that’s why I’ve created...
Ciara Daykin’s DIY Wedding Planning System: Your Backstage Pass to Extraordinary, Never Been Told, Industry Insider Secrets to Planning Your Celebrity Style Wedding
In just 20 hours you can listen to all the audio recordings which will walk you through the exact steps that I take with my clients who pay me upwards of $10,000 to plan their wedding AND I provide you with all of my templates and spreadsheets and tons of examples so you can use them for your own wedding.
Finally, you can have all the benefits of a wedding planner’s advice AND plan your own wedding with confidence that:
- You’re saving money
- You’re making smart vendor choices
- You’re well organized and not missing anything
This peace of mind is HUGE for you as a bride as you plan the most important day of your life. We’ve all heard of the dreaded bridezilla and you don’t want to turn into that. So if you’re going to plan your own wedding, or even if you’re in the process of planning your own wedding, you’ve got to get organized and follow a system that makes sense and is proven to work by a professional wedding planner who’s weddings appear in national magazines, who speaks around the world about weddings and even coaches other wedding planners internationally.

Planning a wedding is a huge undertaking and most brides just dive right into it without a set plan, hoping to figure it out along the way. I’m sure you’ve:
- Bought a planner from the bookstore (it’s become a mobile dumping ground for all the wedding stuff you’ve collected but now don’t feel like going through)
- Attended a couple of wedding fairs (and been completely overwhelmed by all the options and you’re not sure what criteria to base your decision on)
- Stocked up on wedding magazines (sure the pictures are great for ideas but how can you pull off these ideas on your budget?)
- Talked with your friends who’ve gotten married (and talked and talked about how amazing their wedding was but they’re really not giving you any answers to help you with your wedding)
But nowhere are you finding a definitive step by step guide to planning your wedding with your budget so that it looks like a celebrity event out of the magazines.

You’re probably getting stressed out with everyone looking to you for decisions, bored with the cookie cutter ideas you’re surrounded by, frustrated that your wedding is shaping up to be a carbon copy of your friends, and disappointed that you don’t know how to add more of your personality into your nuptials.

But, if you’re still “on the fence”...
Let’s think of a couple other things you could spend your money on instead...
- Dozens of wedding magazines filled with countless advertisements for wedding dresses and outdated, recycled wedding planning advice that doesn’t truly tell you how to plan a wedding yourself
- A deposit to a vendor who you thought would work for your wedding day but you really didn’t know what questions to ask them or what answers you were looking for and now they’re not returning your calls
- A single therapy session after you try to plan your own wedding without a step by step system to follow and end up turning into a complete bridezilla

“Ciara came up with ideas that my fiancé and I would have never thought about and she made the entire wedding flow seamlessly. She was not only able to make my dreams come true, she and her team far surpassed my expectations. People said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, which is quite a complement as I married into an Italian family and they have been to a LOT of weddings! It was absolutely a dream come true and that was due to Ciara Daykin!” - Crystal Brown
“This past Monday Barb & I celebrated our first anniversary. To this day friends and family spontaneously remind us of what a perfect wedding it was by remarking about how much fun they had, how beautiful it was. We wanted to take a moment to spontaneously thank you for the incredible job you and your team did making it all happen. Thanks for your coordination, our wedding was and is for us what every wedding should be: a beautiful event from which to build a beautiful life together.”
With Gratitude, Barbara & Gian Carlo
