Real Life Wedding - Bethany & Kurt

Bethany & Kurt married July 24, 2009

Bethany & Kurt are a wonderful couple. They share a unique passion, and you can easily tell that they care fore each other in selfless ways. Their wedding was held at Casa Loma among close friends and family. Kurt being an actor, had the room filled with incredibly talented and humorous guests. I was dying of laughter during the Best Man's speech, who used profanity and embarrassing moments with the groom to get across how he was letting go and giving him to the bride. All fun aside it was truly touching. The theme was simple and the party was '60's music. I loved every moment of it because it was sooo different! I felt like I was at a 60's beach side party...but without the sand and ocean. It was the hippie music that won me over! Overall it was a very classy wedding!

Fairytale Events helping those taken advantage of

I would like everyone to read today's Toronto Star article (Front page) on couples taken advantage of by a specific company in the wedding industry. I feel so sorry for all of these couples who have been taken advantage of. I have had a few couples literally the day of or days before their wedding call me to ask if they could hire me to help them out with this unfortunate situation. Literally they were in panic as to what to do! Fairytale Events and our vendors took on the clients and helped them out to the best of our capacities, working with their new limited budgets. This is tough when people are hurt on the most important day of their new life together. I urge everyone to really ensure that your vendors have established businesses, get references, and stay on top of things. Also I really really suggest, hiring a planner like Fairytale Events to manage your vendors, as we work in the industry, know the reputations of vendors, and also get preferred rates from our own vendors.

For the clients of Fairytale Events, please be assured that all of your wedding details are in order and Fairytale Events has never worked with that vendor or any vendor that does bad business.
Happy Planning!

Real Life Wedding - Stacey & Jeremie

Stacey & Jeremie married August 1, 2009

Stacey had the most interesting style compared to most of my brides. Her unique style and love of colour made for a wedding full of colour. To start things off, we had the receiving area with gothic red and black colours. We had fun with the velvet black roses and the vampire red linen that in some light looks black.
In the Ballroom we used tall centrepieces with lots of colour to liven the room up. Black Chair covers with a white band and brooches were on each chair with black satin table linen topped with rhinestone studded white linen as an overlay. The kids table had little boxes filled with fun toys and we had a babysitting company come in to keep them busy during dinner. They had arts and crafts, and even games in a separate room to keep the fun alive.
Check out the cake!!! Stacey felt the groom had little input on everything else and being a true hockey fan she decided he should have a Stanley cup cake. Significant dates were engraved in the cup.
