My assistant for the day was Ashley, she's in college for Tourism & Events and would like to be a Wedding Planner. She currently works part-time at Invitations by SanSheira’s in Burlington, so when it came time to decorate the wedding and tie bows - she was my savour! She did a great job all day!
Since the ceremony was held indoors, that left us with just a little over an hour to flip the room over into the reception dining hall for 70 guests. With just Ashley, myself and 2 staff members from the venue, we managed to do it with 10-15 minutes to spare! Because of the limited staff from the venue, Ashley and I even set the tables with the dinnerware and napkins! Anything goes when you have a deadline...as a Wedding Planner you need to wear plenty of hats, and look good in all of them!
Leah's vision for the day was beautiful - inspired by nature and quite unique. He colours were green, brown and ivory. Her menu consisted of locally grown vegetables, and her favours for her guests was a white spruce tree planting kit. Her and David also donated to Tree Canada as part of their favour. Fantastic idea!
One aspect that was the most fun in setting up was displaying the Candy Buffet. David likes salty treats, and Leah likes Sweet - so the table was a mixture of both! Guests were encouraged to fill take out Chinese boxes with goodies prior to their departure.The cake was magnificent and the aroma of the vanilla could be enjoyed anywhere with a ten foot radius of the cake table!
Overall, the wedding was fabulous. Her bridesmaids were very helpful with the initial set up (flowers, outside decorations, and taking care of Leah) - and her MC was wonderful and easy-going.
The Edgewater Manor was a great venue for this romantic intimate wedding.
Wishing Leah & David all the best!
BB Tip #3 -
Have your wedding on a Sunday like Leah did - it will be less costly than a Friday or Saturday.
