what vendors are saying...
Lillian, Brightly & Lillian Jewelry
The crucial part of being a small business, is the sense of community that comes alongside with it. Community and collective well-being are central to my personal values, and I deeply appreciate how this virtue was brought forward, emphasized and fostered by Little Modern Market. Kind vendors, warm clients and inspiring small businesses made my time as a vendor participant (and a shopper for the moments I could sneak away), so memorable. Thank you Melissa, for being so personable. Running a small business could be a vulnerable experience, and your warmth was a light.
Carolina, Canine Endeavour
This was our first time as a vendor at Little Modern Market and we loved every minute of it. The venue, atmosphere, and marketing leading up to the event were all amazing. Thank you Melissa, for putting on a wonderful event that brings the local community together. We will definitely be back.
Alysia, Caramunchies
We had a lovely first market in Calgary with LMM! All the vendors and customers we met were very friendly and supportive. Great introduction to the Calgary scene! I also really appreciated Melissa's organization and communications prior to the market. The event is super well planned!
Abby, Blink Studio
Loved being apart of LMM! It was such a blast and Melissa was such a great host. She made me feel as prepared as possible and offered all the help she could give during set up. Couldn’t thank her enough!
Aelie, Hello Amino
Little Modern Market is one of my favourite markets! Beautiful venues, always an excellent turnout with a beautifully curated vendor selection. I love that she includes photo/video options at really affordable rates to allow a small business the chance to get professional photos. Awesome job marketing to bring in a great crowd and just a pleasure to deal with Melissa. She's organized and fun to work with. I also really appreciate that she doesn't let vendors do two back to back markets (even though I want to!), this ensures her customers always have a fresh market with new vendors and everyone gets a chance.
Nikki, One Tree Orchard
LMM was amazing. I felt like I was always kept up to date on everything and there were so many great opportunities to grow my business. The market turnout was unexpected and Melissa does a great job making sure everyone is seen, promoted and works hard to make it a successful day for everyone. Thanks!
Adam, Soul Bowl Kitchen
We've been a part of the LMM twice now, and its such a well ran & executed event. The curated vendor line up is always the best and great for making new vendor friends! And of course all of the market guests are amazing for coming out and supporting all of the amazing local businesses
Sarah, Salty Sea Dog Designs
As a vendor or a shopper, LMM is a market I look forward to attending every time. As a vendor, I know that the market is extremely well promoted, prepared and executed. Communication is always thorough, set up is a breeze and the following is ready to support locally handmad products. As a shopper I know I’m always going to find a well curated mix of vendors that always offer high quality products. LMM makes it easy to want to show up for this market every single time!
Jennifer, Maude Kids
I have been a vendor at Little Modern Market twice now, and both experiences were great. The organization and marketing was amazing, and the support for the vendors, including optional add-ons like mini-photo sessions, and community created among the vendors and customers has been incredible. Thank you!
Kait, Barefoot And Blonde
This was a wonderful experience from start to finish. This was our first market in Canada after many many years of trading at markets, major music festivals and pop up stores in Australia. You are very organised and the market is curated both professionally and aesthetically.
Ash, STUNN Collective
I cannot say enough good things about LLM. It is always a runaway success for us, and the opportunities for us as vendors leading up to the market like affordable photoshoots, influencer engagement, and brand awareness through social media and giveaways are extremely effective and impactful, not to mention unparalleled in the Calgary market space. The amount of effort, focus, and hard work Melissa puts into each market pays off tenfold for everyone involved, from vendors to shoppers. I cannot recommend Little Modern Market enough! It is genuinely the best market in the city.
Kayda, Kay Paper Co.
I feel Little Modern Market is one my favorites to do. Always a great turn out and so much variety. I’ve always had the best booth buddies so all the other vendors are always so kind.
Dalyce, The Friday Collective
Little Modern Market was our first market ever and it was such an amazing experience. We had so much fun getting everything prepared for the day. Between the mini shoots we got to do with Social People Co, to the day itself and all of the support Melissa gave us. Couldn’t have asked for a better first Market experience. We were completely welcomed by the entire community and are so thankful to be given the opportunity to be apart of it
Owaiz, Sac & Shoo
The first time we became a part of the LMM family was at the March 2023 market. To see a line of people extending out the ATCO Commons doors at 9:30am on a somewhat cold morning was extremely warming to our vendor hearts :) From the communications and giveaway / influencer gifting opportunities leading up to the market, to the market day organization and post-market engagement, Melissa and LMM enable every vendor to put their best foot forward and connect with the YYC community.
Sherah, Misiyo
We love Little Modern Market! It's always busy, full of so many vendors I want to shop with myself and organized super well. Highly recommend!
Jennifer, The Good Kitchen Collection
We appreciated so many things about the Little Modern Market; from the overall professionalism, communication of all necessary information, offering mini photo shoots for vendors and most importantly Melissa was seen, present and connected with us. We absolutely will book more market dates!
Julie, Vagar
We loved this market! Definitely one of the best since we started our business :) And such great opportunities for networking! Everything was so well organized and communication was great. We loved being part of the market giveaway as well - that was a nice touch! Thank you for having us!
Megan, The Candle Box
Being part of Little Modern Market was a fantastic experience. It was not only rewarding and enriching, but brought a great opportunity to showcase my products, interact with all the customers and to connect with all the amazing vendors. I was very impressed with how organized the whole event was and can't wait to be part of LMM again in the future. Megan Smiley, The Candle Box
Jill, Our Heritage Wheat Co
I am amazed at LMM. It was such a blast to connect with other vendors, and I am in awe of how many friendly, and supportive customers there were. It was such a great experience, and I felt like it gave me more confidence as a small business owner that I can dream bigger to!
Jenny, Sweet Wild
Gorgeous market, well organized, lovely hostess, great choice of vendors at the event. Will hopefully attend again.
Tamara, Beyond Measure Boards
Little Modern Market is by far one of my most favorite markets ever! Melissa does an incredible job of making everyone feel welcome, and leading up to the event she does an amazing job marketing it!
Pamela, Meela’s Mixes
We love being a vendor at the Little Modern Market. The atmosphere that is created by everyone is awesome! There is great selection of vendors for a wonderful shopping experience. It is a very friendly environment for those of all ages. With stuff for the littles to do, if desired. I highly recommend to partake as a vendor or if you have never been to a LMM before you should go!
