Ankica Basar

Founder & Lead Coordinator

Detail-oriented and a romantic at heart, I bring a calm, thoughtful presence to every celebration. As Lead Coordinator, I oversee the master timeline, vendor communication and key moments throughout the wedding day, keeping the moving pieces connected and the celebration moving as planned. My goal is to give our couples the confidence to step away from the logistics and be fully present for their wedding.

Crista Pennett

Ops Coordinator

Warm, outgoing and a natural connector. I bring an organized approach and a reassuring presence to every celebration. As Logistics Coordinator, I love bringing all the little details together behind the scenes — from setup and finishing touches to transitions throughout the day. My goal is to help create a wedding that feels effortless, joyful and completely yours; so you can be present for every moment that matters.

Hello there

We are the women behind C&A — two coordinators who believe a wedding day should feel effortless for the people living it. Let us deal with your timelines, seating charts, vendor arrivals, the exact moment the candles are lit.

Our work sits quietly in the background. We confirm the plans you have made, fill in the ones you haven't thought of yet, and carry the logistics of the day so your family and friends never have to.

Based in Ottawa, Ontario, we coordinate weddings across the city and its surrounding areas — from heritage venues and city hall to family gardens.

How we work

The C&A Experience

From your plans to a beautifully coordinated celebration

01

Intro

We begin with you. We start with a conversation about your wedding — your venue, vendors, plans and the details that matter most to you. We'll learn what you've already put in place, what still needs attention and whether C&A is the right fit for your celebration.

02

THE HANDOFF

Your plans become our plans. Ahead of your wedding day, we step into the details you've already planned. We review your vendor information, build and refine your master timeline, confirm key logistics and coordinate with your vendor team so everyone understands the plan before the day arrives.

03

CELEBRATION

You celebrate. We coordinate. On your wedding day, we become the point of coordination — overseeing the timeline, vendor arrivals, transitions, key moments and agreed-upon finishing details behind the scenes so you and the people you love can simply be present.
