I got engaged to my fiancée in November of 2020 and quickly began planning for a July 2021 wedding. Having such little time, I reached out to Catherine via the wedding wire App during the Christmas Holidays and she replied back to me very quickly. I liked the idea of buying a suit since renting was half the price of owning a custom suit, made by Catherine. Immediately, Catherine came with a plan and some options, making herself available for a Zoom meeting.
Probably, she noticed I was kind of nervous and perhaps I had more questions than answers. From the very first conversation, she was very patient, professional and empathetic. She presented some options, showed some flexibility and accommodation to my Plan A, B and C, and budget.
My fiancée and I went to her studio a few times. She received us with “open arms”, a squirt of hand sanitizer and a smile, hidden behind a mask of course.
From the start she explained her background, which is impressive, and her story of coming to Toronto to start her own business. She presented options and helped us making decisions without pushing or doing the sales speech that makes you feel uncomfortable. Catherine has the knowledge, skills and personal touch.
I returned a few times to fit my suit which turned out exactly how I wanted it. She even made ties for my groomsmen, off of a colour swatch of my fiancée's bridesmaid dresses so they all match. I was able to get my custom suit, bowtie, shoes, socks, belt, cufflinks, groomsmen ties and potential masks all in one place, at one time.
I definitely recommend Catherine. Whether you are looking for wedding gear, or a business suit, she is definitely up to the challenge and you will be in good hands.
(Note: due to COVID-19 restrictions, we decided to have a small ceremony this weekend and I wore my new suit! My wife Emily and I are planning to have a big celebration next year!)
