Darlene & Derek October 11, 2009 Wedding Day Coordination

Congratulations you two!
This wedding was just spectacular on so many levels! I have actually known Darlene since Jr. high and when she got engaged, of course we were the ones she called upon! Darlene wanted something different for her special day and we delivered. The ceremony and reception took place at the beautiful Millennium Centre and the photographer for my gal Dar... well none other than Mr. Trevor Brucki. HUGE shout out to Trevor for these GORGEOUS wedding images. Check out Darlene & Derek's day...













And some of my FAVS from the day...

Thank you so much Darlene & Derek for choosing us to be a part of your special day! It was so great to connect with you again Darlene! You haven't changed a bit and I LOVE YOU for it!
Congratulations again you two! :)

Graziella & Shane Featured Wedding

Congratulations to our happy couple! :)
For those that know this bride, you know that she is pretty well sweet as candy! We met Graziella while setting up a wedding at the Hilton and we are so glad we did. :)
Graziella came to us with her vision for the day and colour scheme and our FABULOUS team went to town pulling out all the stops for her and Shane on their very special wedding day. The reception took place at The Hotel Fort Garry and their photographer was none other than Mitch from Rygiel Photography. A HUGE shout out goes out to Mitch & Carmen for these AWESOME pictures! Graziella is just thrilled with the pictures and we can see why... check em' out for yourself!

What did Graziella & Shane have to say about our services?

Madeline and team,

We were married July 18, 2009 at the Fort Gary Hotel. The venue we chose is spectacular in itself, and when you and your team came to decorate it it became unreal! Words literally cannot describe how the room looked.

As a bride, I've always had a vision of what I'd like the reception to look like, and the reality became something much more than I could have ever imagined!! The colours were dead on, table settings were immaculate...every detail of every decoration was perfect, there is not one thing we could see out of place in a room set for over 200 people! The head table blew our minds! It was truly the focus of the room!

Another detail that we had, but didn't discuss with you, was a dedication table (for my Father and a family member). This table was decorated perfectly and really made it special for us. We did not ask for this, but that is the level of quality your company is capable of and we really appreciate it.

We sincerely applaud you and your team for a job very well done (to say the least),

Graziella and Shane Hicks

You are so welcome you two! Congratulations once again!
