This past Saturday marked my final wedding of 2024!

Wow, what an incredible season it has been. A huge thank you to all of the amazing couples who trusted me to bring their dream days to life. All of your love stories inspire me and I'm always so honoured to have been part of some of your most cherished moments.

Cheers to 2024! 🥂 Now, I have two more corporate events before the end of the season and then hopefully some rest and relaxation before the 2025 wedding season!

When you're a CK & Co. Events client, every wedding planning question you may have can easily be answered through your Wedding Planning Workbook!

What is this magical Wedding Planning Workbook you may ask? Well let me tell you about it!

It is a document that I've created for all of my clients that includes a planning timeline, budget spreadsheet, guest list tracker, meal breakdown, seating chart, contact sheet for vendors, day of timeline, MC sample script, decor & details checklist and MORE all in one place where you and I can update in real time!

Oh, and majority of the sheets include colour coding and automations in them to make your wedding planning process as easy as possible!

I spent (and still spend when I'm updating) HOURS and HOURS of my time thinking of everything that someone may include in their wedding to ensure that no detail is missed!

Want to get your hands on this document? Reach out today for your complimentary consultation!

The wedding day is full of amazing moments that include your friends and family, but these intimate moments between the two of you are so special ❤️

I always recommend purposely including moments in the itinerary for just the two of you. Some examples that my clients love include:

First look/touch

Private vow reading

Alone time right after the ceremony

Sunset photos with just the two of you

Last song (slow dance for just the two of you!)

What ways did you incorporate alone time between the two of you?

You look incredible - now go grab a drink & dance!

That is EXACTLY what you should be doing as the couple of the wedding / guests of honour instead of worrying about the details.

As your wedding day advocate, my job is to ensure you can sit back, relax and enjoy your wedding day. It is my job to worry about the details such as ensuring vendors are arriving on time, setting up your personal decor, making sure your floor plan is correct, communicating with vendors the entire day, handling issues as they arise, cueing the cerermony, speeches and dances, directing guests, etc. The list goes on and on and on!

Now, that list only encompasses SOME of the tasks I handle for you on the wedding day, it doesn't include anything that comes before the wedding day!

No matter which package you choose, you can rest assure that you will have a professional third party to oversee all of your plans, provide recommendations and ensure nothing slips through the cracks.

I'm currently booking 2025 weddings and it is never too soon to save yourself some peace of mind! Reach out today through the link in my bio (www.ckandcoevents.com) to book your complimentary consultation!

A common question I receive from couples - is tipping a requirement and if so, how much do we tip?

First and foremost, there are only a few vendors where gratuity is built into the pricing or a requirement. Typically you will see this with your caterer, bartender or transportation services.

With other vendors, tipping is never a requirement and totally up to your discretion! We are so grateful already for couples trusting us with their big days. You can never go wrong with a 5 star review or passing referrals to your friends and family! However, if you want to tip your vendors, I typically see anywhere from $50 - $150 + per vendor, gift cards or gift baskets with wine, food, etc.!

let's chat place cards!

some of my top tips below:

1. If you're planning on doing menus, incorporate these two together to save on costs!

2. Organize your place cards by table number and in order of seat! This will make set up a breeze

3. Double check with your caterer if you need a code visible on the place card in regards to which meal each guest chose. I have had clients use different coloured wax seals in the past to ensure your aesthetic is still met!

4. There are lots of options available other than the typical tented card. I recommend to get creative with these!

5. Consider the environment of your reception. I've had many place cards fly around at outdoor weddings or even indoors with a strong AC! In this case, I would recommend against the tented style and instead use one where they are weighed down

Leave your place card questions below!
