Coastal elegance. Thoughtful design. A planning experience you’ll actually enjoy.

Hi, I’m Leah!

Nova Scotia Wedding Planner

I’m the heart behind Yours For The Day Weddings & Events, and I love helping couples plan weddings that feel effortless, personal, and full of joy. Whether it’s full planning, partial planning, or stepping in for the big day, we handle the details so you can actually enjoy the moments that matter most - dancing with your friends, hugging your family, and making sure you get your oyster fix before they disappear.

I’m a girl mom, caesar lover, and wedding-obsessed creative who gets a little (ok - a BIG) thrill from designing beautiful spaces and making sure everything flows perfectly. Weddings light me up, and I’ve built YFTD to make planning them feel fun, not stressful.

More about Leah

Leah is that girl. There is truly no one like her. From the moment I reached out, I felt instantly at ease like I had someone in my corner who completely understood me, my vision, and all the tiny details I cared about. She has this calm, confident energy that just makes you breathe easier. “Leah is so much more than a planner. She became my voice of reason, my sounding board, my comfort through every part of the process. I could trust her with anything because she truly cared. She doesn’t just plan a wedding; she pours her whole heart into it!!! She somehow takes your ideas, even the half-formed ones and turns them into something even more beautiful than you imagined. :’) On the day of our wedding, she was pure magic. Everything flowed so effortlessly and I honestly don’t know how she does it. Every moment felt calm, organized, and intentional all because of her. I didn’t have to THINK or WORRY once. Leah, you are truly one of a kind!!! You made our wedding feel like us in every way and I’ll never forget how supported, understood, and cared for I felt by you. You are THAT girl! The one who makes dreams come to life and keeps everyone grounded while doing it. We can’t thank you enough!!! <3”

“We cannot say enough about our wedding coordination team from Yours For The Day — Leah and Dani were truly amazing and our day would not have been the same without them. From the moment we connected, they were organized, thoughtful, and completely in tune with our vision. On the big day, they handled every detail flawlessly, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy each moment without a single worry. Their calm energy, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference. Our wedding was seamless, beautiful, and stress-free thanks to their incredible work. If you're looking for a team who will go above and beyond to make your day unforgettable, look no further! We will be forever so grateful for the heart and hard work they brought to our wedding. Love you guys!”

“Leah was super responsive to all of my questions throughout the process and was extremely organized especially as the big day approached. There were so many things that I wouldn't have thought about or would have fallen through the cracks without Leah, and her trusty checklist. Then there was the actual wedding, when Leah and her team saved the day. I had multiple people go out of their way after to tell me how amazing Leah was, which of course I already knew because I saw it first-hand, but it just goes to show how integral her team was to the day. Although there was so much going on on day-off every time I saw Leah she was positive, collected, and armed with a solution to any and all problems. She was genuinely so fun to have around on the wedding weekend, which kept the vibes high and stopped me from worrying about anything. The trust Leah builds throughout the whole process is so amazing, because when the wedding day comes along you know that you don't have to worry about anything — because she will handle it all (planned and unplanned!) and do it better than anyone else could.”

“We could not have imagined pulling together our special day without Leah's support, guidance, and expertise. My husband said it best after our first meeting with Leah when he said "Leah is not a want, but a need". She is organized, knowledgable, and kind. She assisted us with vendor recommendations (i.e., DJ, florals, rentals, catering) and they were all incredible. She ensured that I stayed on track with my to-do list leading up to the wedding, and also provided insight and expertise into pieces of the day I would have never known or thought about. On the day-of, I was totally relaxed and was able to enjoy the day with my friends and family knowing that the wedding day to-do's were in the very capable hands of Leah and her team. I cannot thank her enough-she is the absolute BEST! Thank you, Leah, for being such an integral part of my husband and I's most favourite day yet.”

“Leah was such a pleasure to work with from the very beginning. She was friendly, easy to communicate with and organized. Leading up to the day, Leah helped smooth out our planning and made our wedding vision come together. She was willing to help in whatever way she could, and offered key advice and design aspects that we wouldn’t have otherwise thought of. Leah and Jade made our wedding day the best day of our lives and we couldn’t be more grateful for their work. Highly, highly recommend Yours for the Day!”

Real Bride, Megan Murphy
“Where to begin! Leah and her lovely team went above and beyond throughout the whole day and leading up to it. On the day of our wedding I had my hair stylist, make up artist, friends and family all comment on how calm I was. The only reason for this was, Leah! She made sure every detail down to the roses that were lining the aisle were perfect. I think I may have said 100 times since our wedding to anyone who asked (or didn’t) that I would recommend her! Not only did she make our wedding day a dream but she truly was such a pleasure to have a part of our big day. If you were having second thoughts about having a coordinator, just do it! And do yourself an extreme favour and hire Leah. I could not thank her enough she made our big day the best day of our lives!”

Real Bride, Chloe Johnson
“We were so lucky to work with Leah for our August 2025 wedding! She and her team have such a passion for what they do and it shows from the moment we met. She is easy going and comfortable while not missing a beat in getting the ball rolling, offering support and recommendations (and her honest experience-based opinion on what vendors or choices may not match your personal wants or needs) to make your day as special, seamless and “you” as possible! On the day of, everything moved and felt so easy. Not only did we feel that, but it’s been the #1 compliment from our wedding guests as well. It’s such a talent to be able to take so many moving parts and make them work together so wonderfully all while she and her team remain present, smiling, and enjoying the day alongside you ❤️ Leah and Steph, we appreciate you so much. Thank you for making our most special day everything we wanted and more!”

“had the absolute pleasure of photographing a wedding beautifully curated and coordinated by the Yours For The Day team at the iconic Shore Club this past May and it was everything a wedding should be and more. Leah, Steph and their incredible team brought the couple’s very special coastal vision to life and carefully constructed as well as designed a ceremony and reception space so beautiful and true to the style, vibes and personalities of the bride and groom - it had everyone’s jaws on the floor and hearts full to experience the details and flawless timeline these girls put together. Anytime I needed anything, Steph was right there to help and made my job so easy on a day where it can sometimes be quite chaotic and stressful for a photographer. I couldn’t recommend their services more and loved working with the beautiful Yours For The Day team!!”
