Wedding look backs: Part 1!
Today marks our SEVENTEEN YEARS of being in business - yes, I registered Envision Weddings and my first master business license has the date of Feb 14 as the date of registration. So to commemorate, we asked some of our FAVOURITE clients of years past to journey down memory lane and give us their perspective of what they remember of that day.
Part 2 coming tomorrow because we love these guys too much to cut them off and make this even shorter 🤣

PART 3: Say it louder for people in the back! In part 3 of our Friendor (friend+vendor) speaker series, @houseoftytan and I talk about how GRIT = EXPERIENCE which is not the same as JUST pretty photos on your Instagram! Make sure you are hiring people who you connect with and who show that they have knowledge of what they do. “Luxury” doesn’t always mean a luxury planning experience!
What does “luxury” mean to you? Leave a comment to let us know!

Every so often I get these ideas that *gasp* you can’t find on Pinterest. And the only way I can communicate it is through drawing. It may not be professional, it may not be clean, but at least it gets the point across!

We hope everyone is doing well and keeping safe. We know it’s been over a year since all this chaos began and it doesn’t seem like anything is changing but we’re assuring you there is light at the end of the tunnel!
Let’s hope our province sticks to their word (I know.... laughable, right?) so we can all get back to celebrating and back to work!
In the meantime... here’s a little funny to make you chuckle.

Our senior planner (intern, turned assistant, turned junior planner, turned senior planner) Meghan Kelly speaks to us with her infectious bubbly attitude about the state of weddings and her views on it. As well, we talk about COVID 19 mentality and her favourite weddings that she had the pleasure of coordinating over the past 3 years of being with us! Thanks for joining the chat, Megatron. We very much appreciate you!

Live with Claudia from Claudia & Co.
I had the honour to talk to one of my friends and colleagues, Claudia Faustino of Claudia & Co., a fellow wedding planner in the Toronto area. We talk about pivoting to doing micro-weddings and elopements and also, what it looks like in Ontario now that the social restrictions have now eased up to allow 50 guests for an outdoor wedding ceremony. Oh, and we also talk about the joys of being a wedding planner. ;)
Thanks for joining me, Claudia! And check her business out, as well as The Hartman gallery venue b&b where she will be hosting micro-weddings with a slew of super talented vendors!
