ABOUT RISE

Welcome to RISE on Substack — our edit of what’s inspiring us in the world of events, design, and lifestyle.

We’re RISE Event Planning, a Toronto-based luxury event planning and design agency founded by Julia and Samantha. What began as two friends with a vision has grown into a team of women dedicated to curating unforgettable experiences, from weddings and milestone celebrations to large-scale corporate activations and charity galas.

Through our work, we often get to express ourselves. But we have more to share—to give depth and context to our events and the things we love. We’ve been looking for a way to speak from a personal perspective and share the process that brings it all to life.

Welcome to RISE on Substack—a space for events, design, lifestyle, and the ideas that guide us.

What you’ll get each quarter:

• The RISE Times: our quarterly newsletter

• Behind the Scenes: candid moments of us and our team

What you’ll get each month:

• Monthly Trend Reports: what’s inspiring us right now from the worlds of events, fashion, and interiors—colours, textures, venues, designers, places, tabletop details, stationery, décor, and ideas on our radar

• Inside the Event: a breakdown of an event, our creative process and what we created

At RISE, we believe in delivering a 5-star experience, treating every client like a guest, and blending creativity with flawless execution. Our events are inspired by fashion, interior design, and culture—and we’re passionate about setting trends, not following them.

If you love events, design, and all things elevated living, this is your place.

Meet RISE

To give you a glimpse into who we are beyond the events, each of us has created a personal mood board reflecting our current inspirations.
