We are all still buzzing….florals were out of this world, fashion was 👨‍🍳 💋, food was incredibly styled, dance floor was bumping. Unbelievable…I have no words!!! A terrible caption but the photos speak for themselves.

Seeing Edward marry his sweetheart Caron at UBC was a full-circle moment. Edward has shot countless events for me and is an amazing photographer so you know the photos are going to be awesome.

*Spoiler alert* no event is as simple or easy to plan as anticipated. That's why we are here to provide experience and advice. From budgeting to vendor selection to guest experience planning, there's nothing we can't help you solve.

When conducting a site visit for event planning, it's essential to gather comprehensive information to ensure the success of your event. Assuming you have confirmed date availability and that it works in budget, here is (non-exhaustive) list of things you won't want to forget to ask your venue contact:

Logistics and Services:
- Ask what is included in the rental fee - furniture, av items, linens, parking etc.
- Inquire about in-house services, such as catering, audiovisual equipment, and technical support. Alternatively, are there vendors they could recommend? Discuss the venue's policies on outside vendors and any restrictions.
- Ask about parking facilities, transportation options, and any logistical support provided by the venue.
- Discuss access points for vendors, attendees, and any special considerations for setup and breakdown.

Facility Layout and Capacity:
- Request a detailed floor plan or layout of the event space. Always bring your tape measure and paper to make rough drawings if you feel it necessary.
- Confirm the venue's capacity to ensure it aligns with your expected number of attendees and your desired event style.

Lastly, I always like to ask whether they can think of anything not yet brought up. You don't know what you don't know! They are in that space every day and know the pain points of the venue.

Remember to document the answers and take notes during the site visit, as this information will be crucial when making decisions and negotiating the final contract with the venue.

OR - ask us how we can help you with site visits and all your event planning needs!

Sometimes, it can feel like it is all about the bride so we wanted to bring the spotlight to the other half of the love story and give some love to GROOMS. I love checking in with the groom and their party as it is a totally different vibe. Often times, the group is reminiscing and laughing together, playing music and enjoying each other’s company with the *occasional* drink. Not to mention, we have had some pretty stylish grooms in the past who have brought bits of their personality into their attire and we are here for it.
Grooms-to-be, invite you to share in the comments how you plan to make your day special before heading down the aisle to meet your bride!

Another 5 Star Review!

G&S's wedding was back in 2018 (ah, pre-pandemic times!) but they still found time to reach back out recently after reminiscing on their wedding day to say that hiring our team was the best decision they made for their day.

We are beyond grateful for such kind words and even kinder clients. One can only wish for more of the same in 2024!

Happy International Women’s Day!

I feel extremely fortunate to work in an industry dominated by women. Many of us own small businesses, are mothers and wives but nevertheless, I am always in awe when we find the time to uplift each other; It makes my job so rewarding. No matter how challenging a particular event may be, the women of this industry inspire me to keep striving and thriving.

Happy wedding anniversary to G&S! We love unconventional spots for bridal party shots and did not disappoint. The venue for this celebration was so the bridal party shots were in around the colourful streets of Main Street, Vancouver.

I have a soft spot for black and white photos. Dramatic shot of our stunning bride getting ready.

Let’s talk signage!

Some typical pieces of event signage can include: welcome sign, seating plan, card and gift signs, bar menu, schedule of events, place/escort cards, directional. The list goes on!

I’ve seen chalkboards, mirrors, acrylic, digital, letter boards, kid-drawn felt pen on paper, printed on various medium!

Get creative! This can be an economical addition to your overall decor plans and can set the tone for your guests. As well, don’t we all crave a little more info than not?

Shamefully, I don't think I have ever introduced myself here!

Hi, Alyssa here! I am a small business owner who loves to help clients find solutions to their event needs. I think of myself as being resourceful, hard/smart-working and super organized; this helps me deliver events that exceed expectations, seamlessly!

A life long learner, I've studied event management at BCIT and just recently completed my project management at UBC Sauder School of Business.

At the end of the day, my aim is always to ensure you, the client, are taken care of, are able to enjoy yourself and have nothing to worry about.

To all clients - past, present and future - it's an honor to be entrusted with handling your most important gatherings.

Talk Soon!
Alyssa

Tea ceremonies - a tradition in Chinese weddings, they offer the bride and groom time to thank and honour their respected elders, serve them tea and to hear listen to their kernels of marriage advice. The ceremony signifies the joining of two families.

Personally, I love seeing everyone decked out in their traditional clothing and the gesture of the couple serving their elders.

Helps that they always make for some gorgeous photos!

Happy 4th Anniversary to John and Krista! Celebrating at the gorgeous is always a good idea.

Client love…”Alyssa is amazing! She made our wedding day run so smoothly. Alyssa is professional, understanding, real and kind. From our very first virtual meeting during the pandemic, she asked us our wants and budget with absolutely no judgement. She understood the importance and sentimental aspect of us wanting the wedding to be perfect and magical, but also kept it real with the budget we wanted to stay in. Alyssa is super responsive, replying to all inquiries very quickly. As requested, she took over communication with our vendors which took so much off our plate. We were in great hands with Alyssa and did not have to worry about a single thing. ❤️V&C”
