PUNCH Wedding + Event Co. (formerly Ontario Wedding & Event Planners) was created by Natalie Faria to combine all of the impeccable taste, creativity and personal touches that every individual, couple or corporation deserves.

Natalie's credentials are impressive. She is the President and lead planner of PUNCH, and instructor of the Wedding Planning course at Mohawk College in Hamilton, Ontario. She graduated from George Brown College with the highest GPA in Business Management and then went on to become a Certified Wedding Coordinator and Destination Wedding Coordinator through Canada's only Wedding Coordinator Institute, The Wedding Planners Institute of Canada. During this time Natalie also worked in special event and wedding departments for corporations such as the City of Hamilton, Royal Botanical Gardens, Carmen's Banquet & Convention Centre, the Toronto Rock Lacrosse Club and the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation).

Her expertise is extensive in wedding planning, travel, corporate events and festivals as well as large and small indoor and outdoor private events. Natalie has also travelled to many of the destinations that she recommends.

"Having been involved in special events and weddings for so many years and having been a bride myself, I can not only visualize, but I can truly understand the scope of what is involved in taking an event and creating an experience. The details, no matter how large or how small, are all a contributing factor to how our clients want themselves or their companies represented. At PUNCH Wedding + Event Co. it's what we pride ourselves on."
