✨🔥HOT TREND ALERT🔥✨ For the past few wedding seasons, I have had more couples opt out of the tradition of cutting a wedding cake and have incorporated pouring a champagne tower instead.

If this is something you are thinking of doing for your wedding, here are a few helpful tips:

🍾 Don't go too big! The bigger the tower, the more unstable it will be
🍾 Pre-pour the bottom layer of coups with champagne, this will help stabilize the base of the tower
🍾 Make it POP! Make sure to have a least two bottles, uncorked, ready for you to pop and pour
🍾 Get splashy! Move the bottle around as you pour to allow the champagne to overflow its way down each row
🍾 Go slow, but not too slow! This is going to be an amazing photo opportunity, make sure to take your time so your photographer can capture this cool moment
🍾 Grab from the TOP! You did it, you filled your tower. Now be extra careful to pull your glass from the top and not the middle which will cause the whole thing to come tumbling down!

"Besides choosing each other, Shannon and her team may have been the best decision we made with the wedding!

From start to finish, she was full of ideas, enthusiasm, best practices, knowledge, know-how and every single answer to questions we didn't even know we had. It was a true joy to have her narrate our day, and we would not hesitate to recommend her to absolutely anyone looking for her services.

Just phenomenal - really and truly." - Aubrie & Matteo (from their Google review)

Weddings are not just about the big day, they're also about celebrating the friendships that have brought you there. And what better way to celebrate than with your bridesmaids by your side?

I've seen firsthand the incredible bonds that form between brides and their bridesmaids. Whether it's helping you pick out the perfect dress or calming your nerves on the big day, these ladies are there for you every step of the way!

But it's not just about the practical support. Your bridesmaids are there to celebrate with you, to laugh with you, and to remind you of all the amazing memories you've shared together. It's this kind of friendship that makes weddings truly special.

So to all the brides out there, take a moment to appreciate the incredible women in your life who have helped make your wedding dreams come true.

And to all the bridesmaids, thank you for being a part of the bride's journey and making her day extra special!

One of my favourite parts of a wedding ceremony is the exchange of vows. It's a beautiful moment where the couple expresses their love and commitment to each other in front of their family and friends.

Regardless if the Bride and Groom write their own or use more traditional vows, it's a reminder of the promises they are making to each other and the journey they are about to embark on together!

When it came time to start discussing Aubrie's wedding's look and feel, I was so excited. Our conversation went something like this,

Shannon: "So, I have this crazy idea for your ceremony decor and design, stay with me, you'll have to use your imagination a little ..." (pulls up three inspirational photos)

Aubrie: "Say less. I MUST have this".
.. and just like that, this gorgeous vision was born! Perfectly created and executed by our friends at The Gathering Event Company.

Hi new friends and followers! Let me introduce myself, I’m Shannon Kennedy 👩🏻‍🦰, the owner and principal planner of Kennedy Event Planning.

I love great food, watching The Real Housewives 📺 (and Vanderpump Rules, duh!), enjoying a big glass of wine 🍷, and travelling the world 🌎. I have a pug puppy 🐶 and a cat. I cannot start my day without a latte ☕️, and I love sleeping in on Sunday mornings!

I am a self-proclaimed romance j***y 💕 with a warm (and sometimes dorky 🤪) sense of humour.

Professionally, I am calm, confident, and offer a reassuring presence to my clients on their wedding day 👰🏼🤵🏻!

Recognized as a ✨top expert✨ in my field, I have been featured in local and national publications. I also regularly appear on local live media productions as their resident wedding expert.

I most recently won the exclusive, peer-voted “Wedding of the Year, 2022-2023” 🏆, an honour that has meant so much to add to the collection of accolades won over my long career as a wedding planner.

I started Kennedy Events to bring couples‘ ✨dreams✨ a reality. I understand the absolute privilege and honour it is to be invited into your life, sharing this intimate moment with you. ❤️ It is my greatest pleasure to be a part of your biggest day! ❤️

Fun Facts about Me!:
•I love Lionel Richie fan – 🎶 “All Night Long” 🎶 is one of my favourite songs and play it before every wedding reception - It’s my pump up jam!
•I suffer from major ✈️ and have travelled to Europe, South Africa, Eygpt and Jordan, Central America, South East Asia, China, and all over North America. 🌎 When I’m not working, I’m travelling! My next big adventure locations: Portugal, Greece & Turkey!
•Photos from my Tuscan 🇮🇹wedding in Fall 2018 went viral on social media with reposts from Anthropology, Venue Report, and Bridal Vogue to name a few.
•I was a two-time president of my international sorority, Delta Delta Delta 🔼🔼🔼 while attending the University of Ottawa.
•I am an only child and was a total Daddy’s girl 👸🏼growing up.

I cannot wait for the opportunity to meet and get to know you! 💕Let’s get planning! 💕

One more song!

It's easy to see that Michelle and Kurtis didn't want the party to end! When the time did come to say goodbye to their guests and head off into the sunset, they were ready to start their happily ever after together.

Congratulations to you crazy kids on your magical day! It was such an honour and privilege to be a part of it. I love you both very much! xo
