The Garden Party
Lush, natural, sun-dappled ease. Olive branches, warm linen, candlelight at dusk.
Best for backyard dinners, summer birthdays, graduation parties, and outdoor gatherings.
L'art de célébrer.
Birthdays, dinner parties, graduations, bridal showers, corporate gatherings, and backyard celebrations — planned, coordinated, and executed from concept to completion. Built around your budget, your space, and your needs. No hidden fees. No inflated markups. Just honest planning and elevated results.
Most event planners in Ottawa offer partial services — they'll help you pick a venue or drop off decor, but leave you managing the rest. Maison de Fête handles the entire process from first idea to final cleanup. We concept, plan, source, coordinate, and execute your event so you never have to manage a single vendor, timeline, or setup detail yourself. And we're fully transparent about where every dollar goes.
From birthday parties and graduation celebrations to curated dinner soirées, corporate cocktail evenings, bridal showers, and backyard gatherings — every event is shaped by your space, your guest list, your budget, and the feeling you want your evening to carry. No surprise fees. No vague quotes. No vendor markups. You'll always know exactly what you're paying for and why.
That means we develop your event concept, source and manage vendors, direct food and bar, coordinate decor and florals, build the timeline, curate the playlist, design the guest flow, run the full setup, manage the day-of, and handle teardown. Whether you're hosting in Westboro, the Glebe, Kanata, Barrhaven, Orléans, or anywhere across Ottawa and Gatineau — we own the process from start to finish so you never have to.
You just show up.
We don't require a minimum spend. Tell us what you have — $500 or $5,000 — and we'll design a concept that makes the most of it. Every event is built around your number, not ours.
No hidden fees. No percentage-based markups on vendors. No vague estimates. You'll see a clear breakdown of every cost before you commit — and nothing changes without your approval.
We don't work from templates or recycled decor packages. Every event starts with a signature aesthetic and is customized entirely to your space, your mood, and the experience you want your guests to have.
We don't hand you a plan and wish you luck. We concept your event, source every vendor, coordinate every detail, manage the full setup, run the day-of logistics, and oversee teardown. You're never left managing anything yourself.
If something won't work within your budget, we'll tell you — and offer a better alternative. No upselling. No pressure. Just straightforward planning that respects your time and your money.
Most event planners in Ottawa focus on weddings. We focus on everything else — birthdays, graduations, showers, corporate events, dinner parties, and backyard celebrations that deserve the same level of care.
Every Maison de Fête event begins with a mood. Our five signature aesthetics are starting points for events in Ottawa — refined palettes of decor, tone, and feeling that we customize entirely to your space, budget, and vision.
