About us

Calgary Wedding Planner, Yvette Shanahan, has been in love with weddings ever since she was a little girl. That love grew into a passion and thus was born “Avant-Garde Wedding and Event Planning”. With more than 14 years of experience Yvette has planned hundreds of weddings and events. Her expertise shines through her customer service and attention to detail.

What makes us “Avant-Garde” (new and innovative)? Our service level is unparalleled. Clients and vendors, alike, comment on our exceptional customer service saying ‘they haven’t seen anyone else provide this level of service’. We plan / coordinate all types of celebrations; eco-chic, themed, traditional, non-traditional, same-sex, destination and much more. We only accept a limited number of bookings per year to ensure undivided attention and quality service to every couple we work with.

We believe that weddings are a work in progress. We work with your vision as it changes and grows into a beautiful expression of who you are as a couple and your wedding day will reflect that.

All brides can be ‘new and innovative’ – Become an “Avant-Garde” bride!
