B is for....

I get lots of emails asking if I am hiring. These girls want to know if they can be my Assistant - my helper - my right hand gal. Well, for the past 9 months I've had a sidekick that I adore; Brittany.

It's almost too fitting that Brittany starts with B, like The Bride's Butler. It was simply a coincidence that she emailed me and I just happened to need help at that time. Well, perhaps it wasn't coincidence, maybe it was fate - depends on how deep we wanna go here. LOL!

Either way, I'm thrilled to have Britt working with me, learning alongside me and being there to help me bring Bride's dreams to life.

Brittany's also certified by WPIC (Wedding Planners Institute of Canada), so she's a perfect match for The Bride's Butler as I'm certified as well. She is passionate about weddings & events and has a keen eye for details. She enjoys making things pretty, and making people feel special.

She truly is a gem to have as an Assistant, and a friend.

Thank you Brittany for choosing me to introduce you to the wonderful world of weddings.
I look forward to executing many more "I do's" with you as my right hand gal!

Quite the Exquisite Affair

This weekend I had the privilege of assisting Erin from Exquisite Affairs. She's a fantastic Wedding Planner who is certified by WPIC also, and from time to time we planners help each other out. The wedding was an outdoor ceremony in Niagara Falls in the beautiful Oak Garden Theatre. The marriage of Esther and Michael was blessed with good company and good weather.

As an Assistant, it was my responsibility to aid the lead Coordinator in any way possible. My role included attending the rehearsal on Friday, and helping with set-up for the ceremony on Saturday. We set up 120 chairs, an archway, the signing table and a beautiful rose aisle all in under an hour!

The experience was not only enjoyable, but also educational. It's always good to see how other Coordinators do their job, and it's always nice to learn a few extra's you didn't know before. In this industry there is always something new to learn, try and do!

The reception took place in the elegant Elements restaurant - which was formally Table Rock. It sits upon the falls and has a panoramic view of the cascade. Simply Exquisite!

I look forward to working many more weddings, as either a Lead Coordinator or Assistant. To be a part of the most special day of two people's lives is one of the best and most rewarding feelings. I love my job!

All the best to Esther and Mike!!
