WE BELIEVE THE BEST MOMENTS ARE THE ONES YOU ACTUALLY GET TO ENJOY

WEDDING + EVENT PLANNING IN WATERLOO REGION (AND BEYOND)

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Your event should feel like you, not a template.

We started New Berlin Events because we noticed something missing in the industry: genuine hospitality. Not the stiff, clipboard-and-headset kind. The kind where you feel like your planner actually cares, because she does.

We ditch the notion that beautiful, elevated events are reserved for six-figure budgets. With strong vendor relationships, full transparency, and a whole lot of creative problem-solving, we deliver luxe within reach events that leave people talking.

Our approach is collaborative over dictation. Your wants, desires, and personality lead the way; we're just here to make sure every detail lands exactly how you pictured it (and then some).

“We got the full planning package from New Berlin, and it was the best decision we made about the whole wedding! Stephanie guided us every step of the way and captured our hopes and dreams for the day just perfectly. And on the day of, we felt free of stress as we knew Steph and the New Berlin team was handling every detail and putting out every fire.”

— MacKeely

MEET STEPH

Founder, Lead Coordinator, and Lover of Love

Hey there! I’m Steph, the face behind New Berlin Weddings & Events. Let’s ditch the formal intros and get real. When I’m not knee-deep in event planning, you’ll find me curled up with a book and a glass of wine, or probably re-watching Brooklyn 99 (again). I’m a sucker for the outdoors, scary movies, and getting my hands dirty in the garden. And yes, I’m a total fall fanatic – those cozy vibes are just unbeatable, right? (Oh, and green’s my colour, if you couldn’t guess!)

So, how did I get here? After ten years in hospitality, I decided to chase my childhood dream of being an event planner. I’ve always been obsessed with creating unforgettable moments. My PR diploma and my experience across the hospitality world have given me the perfect toolkit to make your wedding vision a reality.

Lastly, it is so very important that I convey that LOVE IS LOVE. Ethnicity, gender, identity, sexual orientation, religious or spiritual views and anything else that makes a human unique is welcome in this space. Period.

THE NEW BERLIN DIFFERENCE

What it’s actually like to work with us

01 Hospitality First

The client always comes first—full stop. We create a warm, welcoming environment where you feel valued and cared for from the very first call to the last dance. True hospitality lives in the details and the energy, and we bring both.

02 Collaboration Over Dictation

This is your day, your vision, your style. We're not here to impose a cookie-cutter approach. We listen, we collaborate, and we bring your ideas to life in ways you didn't even know were possible.

03 Luxe Within Reach

Beautiful, elevated events shouldn't require a lottery win. Through strong vendor relationships and creative strategy, we deliver high-quality, stunning events that are accessible to a range of budgets. No compromises on the magic.

04 Stress-Free, Start to Finish

We handle the nitty gritty—vendor coordination, timeline logistics, day-of execution—so you can focus on what actually matters: being fully present, soaking up every moment, and enjoying the celebration you deserve.

05 Unforgettable Experience

We carefully curate every detail to make sure your event captivates every guest and leaves a lasting impression. The kind of event people still talk about at brunch the next morning—and years down the road.

06 Safe & Inclusive, Always

LOVE IS LOVE. Ethnicity, gender, identity, sexual orientation, spiritual views—everything that makes you uniquely you is celebrated in this space. Period. We welcome all love stories, no exceptions.

THE EXPERIENCE

Our process goes far beyond the transactional nature of event planning. We take the time to connect with every client on a deeper level, because understanding who you are as a couple is how we create something that truly feels like yours.

Beyond just planning, we build relationships.

Deep Connection

We get to know you beyond the event. Your story, your quirks, what makes you laugh. That's how we nail the details that make it feel unmistakably you.

Full Transparency

No hidden fees, no surprises, no vague estimates. We approach every event with honest communication so you always know exactly where things stand.

Meticulous Execution

From concept to final send-off, we handle every piece with care, precision, and that signature New Berlin energy. The only hitch on your wedding day should be you getting hitched.
