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.
