Details and More Details!

One of our favorite weddings this year was an enchanted beach themed wedding. A few of this couples guests where unable to attend the Ceremony in St.Croix, so our clients allowed us to plan a fabulous reception event for Canadian friends & family here in Toronto. Bringing the beauty of the Islands to a stunning water venue ATLANTIS PAVILLION located on the Toronto downtown shore line.

Weddings are the perfect occasion to showcase your creativity and reveal intimate details about both you and your partner. Your guests will feel both wowed and appreciated at the level of intimacy created through monograms, personalized menus and the shear experience of walking into a room with a theme!

Check out a few of these images provided to us from our friends at 5ive15ifteen Co.


Music and live entertainment also add to any event theme. When considering a theme think of what you experience when inside the desired effect - for instance at the beach - what are the sites, sounds, smells, tastes, colours - nothing can be understated. The result is a fabulous event with loads of details!
This was a lot of fun to create. Self serve seating card sandboxes lined the great windows of the venue. Orchids, shells and starfish also added an extra beach theme touch.
This next detail was a lot of hard work for almost 400 guests however worth every paper cut! We created individualized menu's to coinside with the guests' menu selection. This served as functional for the waitstaff with personalized meal monograms and also added a fabulous touch of detail and theme. As guests where seated to read the menu and noticed the menu was personalized their faces lit up at the extra little detail. We overheard guests mention "They thought of everything!".

One of our favorite vendors here in the city is Christine Hassler from CMW Cakes. Her cakes are truly custom, she's just fabulous to work with!! Can you imagine that every grain of sand on this cake was a delicious sugar based morcel of delight! Even the shells (I HAD to munch on one!!) where so delicious. The level of detail and absolute love of what she does shines through in every one of her creations.



The matching beach chairs where the talk of the guests! Gone are the days of a traditional bride and groom dancing atop a cake, the shinny monogram or the absolute corny cake topper of bride grabbing her husbands collar - totally passe! Pick a theme and stick to it....details, details, details!!

Guests finished the evening with a succulent sweet and savory station as we toasted the bride and groom & where wowed to a waterfall of colours and fireworks!
