North & Noble Events was born from Colleen Koroma’s desire to elevate the way we celebrate. Her signature approach combines style, structure, and soul in every event she creates.
A native of the DMV and now based in Toronto, Colleen Koroma brings a unique perspective shaped by her experience on both sides of the border. Her early years in Washington, DC involved hands-on work in fast-paced, high-stakes event environments—where she honed her skills in managing complex logistics and cultivating a creative vision. That foundation, paired with her natural leadership and attention to detail, enables her to deliver events that feel thoughtful, intentional, and flawlessly executed.
I am a firm believer in sunshine and salt water therapy! Growing up on the water, there are few things I enjoy more than water sports, fishing or a relaxing boat day.
“Colleen is nothing short of extraordinary. From our very first consultation, she took the time to understand the rich traditions and unique elements that are so important to our South Asian wedding. She listened carefully to our vision and brought it to life in ways we could not have imagined. Her attention to detail was impeccable. Nothing slipped through the cracks and every aspect of our celebration, from the vibrant ceremonies to the intricate rituals, felt thoughtfully curated and beautifully honored. Beyond her professionalism, Colleen’s calm demeanor and genuine warmth made the entire planning process not just stress-free but truly enjoyable. She embraced the cultural nuances with respect and enthusiasm. She navigated challenges with grace and offered creative solutions that perfectly blended tradition with modern style. Our guests are still talking about the magic she helped create and I am so grateful to have had Colleen by my side every step of the way.”
