Client Testimonials

We have held two amazing events at our farm with Michelle who has an enormous sense of order and calm that can only come from years of experience and an aptitude for throwing a good barn party. Michelle put her contacts to work and reached out to local suppliers knowing the importance of supporting neighbouring farms and businesses. If music, dancing, delicious, locally grown food (not using plastic) and building community are your thing, don’t hesitate to put Michelle and her team to work.

We have been working with Michelle and her team from Paradigm since 2017. She has supported our palliative care conference and just this year, in 2023, started supporting our mental health and addictions event. Michelle is trustworthy, reliable, and has a “can-do” attitude. Although healthcare is not her expertise she goes the extra mile to support the finding of speakers and sponsorship. We’ve had some amazing key notes speakers and Master of Ceremonies suggested by Michelle. No detail is too small and there is no such thing as a dumb question. She has taught us a lot about event planning! Because we are a non-profit organization our budget is limited and we are respectful this is taxpayers’ money. But Michelle knows how to stretch a dollar by helping us find pro bono or reduced cost items and speakers. During the pandemic we had to pivot to on-line for our palliative conference. No one had that experience as this was a new situation for everyone. Michelle took this on with grace and energy and we had and amazing virtual conference including a virtual chief class which required the delivery of cooking contents to participants. It was so much fun! It just shows Michelle and Paradigm are adaptable. This past year was our first in-person conference since before the pandemic. It was a huge success with the most participants we’ve had to date! I highly recommend Michelle and her team from Paradigm! You won’t regret it!

Thank you to you and your team for your continued dedication and fresh ideas in making the Light the Night Walk so amazing. As the number of participants grown each year you have taken on the challenge and creativity. Worked with us to improve the flow at registration, walk start, VIP and other areas to enhance the experience for everyone within our limited budget. Your plan for re-organizing the flow of registration was so successful that it was implemented as a standard practice at our other walks across Ontario. Your attention to detail and engaging personality make it an absolute pleasure to work with you.

Michelle and Paradigm Events helped SiriusXM Canada develop and execute a golf fundraiser for a colleague who recently was the victim of a tragic accident. Michelle’s attention to detail, communication and logistics expertise made what turned out to be a very successful event possible. I would recommend Michelle and Paradigm to any organization interested in flawless execution and providing a memorable experience to guests and related stakeholders.

Paradigm Events is simply the best, the most creative, the most energetic and professional event planning company I have ever worked with in the past decade. Paradigm always over- delivers.

We have worked with Paradigm Eventswhen we producing a corporate event at the JW Marriott in Lake Rosseau, ON.  We were delighted to find Michelle’s company could provide the level of service our corporate client demanded.  Her good taste, creative design and gracious mannerism were refreshing.  Her décor is presented with flare and appeal. Her staff provided wonderful customer service and was willing to assist with every aspect of the event’s success.

Michelle, you and your team continue to surpass the WICC Gala Committee’s expectations. We are very fortunate to have your creativity, professionalism and hard work for over 15 years. You “knock it out of the park” every year!

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Michelle and the Paradigm team over the past 2+ years.  The CNIB Cookout with Cuddy event would not have been a huge success without Michelle’s experience, vision and attention to fine details that elevate the overall event experience for our attendees.  Michelle’s industry partnerships and expansive vendor relationships helped ensure that we were able to secure the best, and most dependable vendors & partners.  Since we are a charitable organization, Michelle’s team always tried to negotiate the best rates with our vendors to help generate more revenue for CNIB Lake Joe programs. We had more then 450 guests in attendance and raised more than $400,000.  I would highly recommend Michelle and the Paradigm team for any event or conference needs.  

The Bay Street Grand Prix was a signature event for Sunnybrook in support of the Women’s & Babies Program. After an amazing day on the race track, the after party was where our event attendees were going to celebrate and cap off a fantastic day. This is why we turned to Michelle Planche and Paradigm Events to help us plan and execute this extravaganza. From sourcing unique décor, which included a real Indy car, to managing the evening’s entertainment, Mia Martina and FloRida, Michelle was instrumental in building this event from the ground up and executing it flawlessly. Attention to detail, creative ideas and working with a myriad of suppliers and vendors, she kept everything moving forward and truly pulled off an amazing night. Tight budgets were managed and all expectations were exceeded. I look forward to working with Michelle and Paradigm Events again.

I have had the pleasure of working with Michelle Planche and Paradigm Events for the past two decades and they never disappoint. They are extremely connected with the event world; industry connections and they are always creating new and innovative events. I highly recommend their services for any level of events.

I attended my first Girl’s Getaway this weekend with about 30 of my closest friends. The general consensus is that his was The Best Girls Weekend Ever and believe me we’ve had many! The event was so well organized and the staff and the town of Huntsville couldn’t have been more welcoming. We will definitely all be back next year and I expect our number to be closer to 50 the next time. Thank you so much for a fabulous weekend!
