Ellie Eccleton’s eye for design and sharp sense of style are derived from her background as a student of Toronto Metropolitan’s revered School of Fashion. After graduation, she seamlessly forayed her creative skillset into the Toronto event industry. She has spent the last 15 years earning a reputation as one of Toronto’s best event planners. While Ellie’s style-forward approach to event design has been the catalyst for some of Toronto’s most stunning luxury celebrations, it’s her expertise in logistics and day-of execution that has allowed her to pull off some of MUSE’s most complex and high-end extravagant events to date. And although her past clients include celebrity NBA & NHL players alike, it’s her approachable attitude, at-ease confidence and creative energy, that makes her a favourite of MUSE Event Co. clients.

Laura’s honed awareness of the importance and value of solid client relationships is not only one of her clients’ favourite attributes, but is also what she describes as being responsible for the longevity of her successful career as one of Toronto’s best event planners thus far.
