Sassy Soiree Event Planners and Wedding Coordinators

What Sassy Soiree Event Planners and Wedding Coordinators does

Soirée Event Planning Ltd., operating as Sassy Soiree Event Planners and Wedding Coordinators, is a privately held, founder-owned event planning and design firm based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The company delivers full-service planning, coordination, and design across four primary service lines: weddings (Full Wedding Planning, Intimate Wedding Planning for 50 guests or fewer, Wedding Day Coordination, and hourly Consultation), Corporate events, Non-Profit events (notably gala fundraisers), and Personal Celebrations including bar and bat mitzvahs, anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, and showers. Owner Andrea Mancini, with 16 years of industry experience, leads a small named team that includes Event Designer Michelle Peters and Lead Event Consultant Amelia Dueck. The firm operates from an office at 909 Dorchester Avenue in Winnipeg's Crescentwood neighborhood, which doubles as a client-facing design area with rental samples, and produces 100-120 events per year.

The business runs on a professional-services revenue model with custom, quote-based pricing tailored to event scope, alongside an hourly-rate consultation tier for self-planners. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; clients are routed through an initial consultation that may be in-person, by phone, or via Zoom/FaceTime for out-of-town clients, and the firm will travel for destination events on request. There is no proprietary technology platform, app, or AI tooling; service delivery relies on experienced planners, a curated directory of 50+ vetted Manitoba vendors (photographers, florists, venues, entertainment, décor), and project management of timelines, vendor coordination, and day-of execution.

Commercially, the firm pursues a sales-led, relationship-driven go-to-market supported by a content-marketing website, an active Instagram presence (@soireeplanning), client testimonial campaigns, and a wedding video portfolio. Customer mix blends a long tail of individual wedding couples and families with a smaller set of named institutional and corporate accounts including Winnipeg Jets, Audi Winnipeg, Canadian Museum for Human Rights, People Corporation, Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre, Fairmont Winnipeg, and Fort Garry Hotel. Geographic focus is Manitoba with selective travel for destination events, and the company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, investors, or M&A activity.

Broad incumbents

• Zola: End-to-end wedding platform with registry, planning tools, and vendor marketplace competing for the same engaged-couple audience as Soirée's wedding couples segment.
• The Knot (The Knot Worldwide): Marketplace and planning resource serving the same wedding customer base as Soirée, plus integrated vendor directories that overlap with Soirée's 50+ vendor network value proposition.
• WeddingWire: Wedding vendor marketplace connecting couples with planners, photographers, and venues; a directory competitor to the curated vendor relationships that differentiate Soirée.
• David Tutera Enterprises: Celebrity event planner whose portfolio spans weddings, branded activations, and large galas - overlaps with Soirée's wedding and corporate event lines but operates a much larger media-facing brand.
• Colin Cowie Weddings & Lifestyle: Celebrity wedding planner and broader lifestyle brand offering full-service wedding planning, design, and corporate events with a national brand footprint - comparable end markets but materially larger scale and brand reach than Soirée.

Direct peers

• Lisa Vorce Events: Boutique full-service wedding and event planning company producing high-end multi-day weddings and destination events - closely comparable in service scope, design execution model, and bespoke consulting-led GTM.
• Marcy Blum Weddings & Events: Long-established, full-service luxury wedding and event planning firm with similar end-to-end planning, design, and day-of coordination offerings for high-end private celebrations - directly comparable to Soirée's core wedding service.
• Mindy Weiss Party Consultants: Boutique full-service event planning firm specializing in weddings, mitzvahs, corporate and social events with designer-led executions - comparable service mix (including bar/bat mitzvahs) and high-touch delivery model.
• Preston Bailey Floral & Event Design: Premium event and floral design studio producing luxury weddings, corporate galas, and private celebrations - directly comparable on the design/installation side of Soirée's offering.

Emerging players
