Picture this…. Aug 17,2024 there’s a flurry of activity at a B&B on Water St west, make up and hair is underway for 8 bridesmaids, brides mom,four lovely young girls who are anxious for the day to begin and of course our lovely bride Nicole. Flip the page , where the groom and groomsmen are getting ready, totally relaxation, groom is in living room and is getting a hair cut, to be fresh for the big day. There’s lots of joking, and laughter amongst friends, once dressed and a toast and the groom is on the way to see his stunning bride. Now every wedding is unique, and family is a descriptive only to be defined , as the ones you choose to love. This wedding gave everyone involved and those who got to witness , not just the union of husband and wife but of four girls who are sisters in every sense of the word. Just when the guests thought there could be no more emotional moments, then their officiant Craig Murphy announced that they would be signing of adoption papers, there literally wasn’t a dry eye at the venue as the oldest daughter took her place legally beside her mom and dad. Vaughan was now legally her dad, and while the ink is dry and legal, there was no mistaking this man was her dad in every sense of the word. The talented Jennifer Dawe -Newfoundland Wedding and Portrait photographer captured all the moments that united this couple, their girls in front of friends and family . Lester’s provided an amazing back drop for all festivities, from the donkey beying at just the right moment, to a field of sunflowers to the left of the ceremony and young goats who jumped in for a quick look , to a delicious BBQ meal for all the guests, after a quick room flip it was time to cut the cake and start the dancing led by the Musicmen DJ Services. Nicole and Vaughan , I cannot thank you enough for allowing me to be a part of your day. You have the most amazing family and friend group. It was a day that was filled with so much love.

July 20th 2024 Flatrock Dwelling, on this day Rylie and Mel were united in love, and surrounded by family and friends. With vows done in private on the rocks of the Atlantic Oceans edge, it was a day destined to be one of life’s most special moments.
Let me tell you , this couple have the most devoted friends, from the baker, the decorators, their officiant and the”I got your back” , this couple is loved on. With a beautiful ceremony on the front lawn of this stunning venue, to a sit down meal under a white tent in the back, the guests entered the B&B to a buffet by India Gate Restaurant, scrumptious treats and a beautiful cake baked by one of the couple friends added the perfect touch after a wedding supper. First dance followed by a night of dancing outside made for a wonderful celebration for the best of things to come. Congratulations Rylie and Mel, thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your amazing day.

On a beautiful summer’s evening…Monday July 15,2024 at 7:00pm Crystal and Jordan exchanged vows overlooking Torbay beach. It was beyond breathtaking and perfect in every sense of the word. The brides mom is is one of my dearest friends and on a long distance call began the planning of a little bit of perfection. Mom, bride, groom, grooms family and many friends all live in Ontario, so as planning evolved from a bonfire on the beach to a wedding ceremony and reception with a DJ , it all came together. Mom had a wedding binder and made sure Crystal and Jordan got everything they wanted and a little extra!
Not that it had to be said, but I felt having the wedding in Torbay, brought the couple an extra special guest of the brides dad watching over them from heaven above. Joedy Wall MHA , officiated the beautiful ceremony. It was an evening filled with love of family and friends, snacks galore, charcuterie board and lots of NL treats for our come from away guests. Add a screech in and visit from mummers, Keith’s food truck t 10:30 and it was an evening of the best memories. Congratulations Crystal and Jordan!

On July 13, 2024 Taylor and Kyle celebrated their love , surrounded by family and friends. To be in this couples presence is to feel everything love. This was simply the day that fairytales are written about…. Terra Nova Golf Resort provided a beautiful back drop for the days ceremony and fesitivities. Hatt Photography provided their photography service and Drone NL did their video.
Ceremony was officiated by a friend of the couple, Matthew Ryan, who did an amazing job(first time, so impressed) Their MC had everyone in the stitches, there was so much laughter in the room, every story had their guests laughing so hard, truly the best friend group.

Taylor and Kyle , I want to thank you for the privilege of spending the day with you, your families and your friends. You are truly an amazing couple, who are loved by so many. The love and respect that you both have for your families and friends is evident( the tears throughout the day were examples of this) Thank you, to your families who were beyond gracious. Your bridal party and friends were absolutely awesome the whole day.
To say it was a joyous day is an understatement.
Congratulations on your wedding day, I wish you years of love, health and happiness.

P.S special thanks to my right hand guy, Luke(grooms youngest brother and garter catcher!)
You were the best helper, I could have asked for. So glad I got to say goodbye to you, in the lobby before I left.

If you’re anything like me, you are so over Winter now, especially after our last snowfall. Clocks have gone ahead and evenings will be brighter for a little longer , and eventually , it will get warmer(it’s the optimist in me) I can’t wait for spring to show her face , followed by a summer filled with lots of loving couples.

03/02/2024

I am so over Winter, looking forward to Spring and Summer for all things weddings. Looking forward to a Venue visit tomorrow with one of my Oct couples at OBrien farm. It’s a little slice of country, in the city❤️

Happy New Year everyone! To my clients of 2023, I wish you all happiness, love, health and overall wellness for 2024. I can just imagine all the joy that was felt , as you all shared your first Christmas as a married couple. Cherish each other, and respect your differences, and when days seem tough, remember back to the day you said I do, and how much love was in your heart and around you on that day. To my 2024 couples, I apologize for my lack of presence in the past couple months, as we sadly lost my father in law. I look forward to assisting you all with your wedding day vision, and you have my gratitude for selecting me to be an integral part of one of the most important days in your life.

Happy Thanksgiving to all the couples who are spending this one, as their first, since being married. No matter what life deals us, we always have something to be grateful for. I am definitely grateful for family, friends and for all the couples that honoured me with being a part of their wedding planning and of course their most special day. I am finished weddings for this year , as I don’t take winter weddings due to flu/ cold season,hubby is a dialysis patient, so I don’t like to take the extra risk during the winter season, of so many bugs floating around. Looking forward to Spring/Summer 2024, and the many couples that I will get to spend time planning their most anticipated day of celebration. Happy 🦃Turkey 🦃day everyone!

A beautiful end of August wedding in a courtyard downtown. Nicole and Joel went through more changes than any couple I have ever had. Between venue changes, managers and contact people changing positions, resulting in new contacts, it was a lot. Finally everything falls into place, and on the most beautiful day, for this beautiful couple. The Murray Premises Courtyard adds an almost European feel. With its expansive brick walkway, white concrete walls, and brick backdrops of the surrounding buildings, it’s just a slice of pretty, downtown. Add white tenting , (a dance floor for later) beautiful ceremony chairs ,laid out in a curve, an abundance of real florals, and an aisle and you have a ceremony space. After the ceremony, the interior of the tent, is flipped into a dining area where guests are served the most scrumptious foods supplied by Scott and his crew from Coffee Matters, he simply is just the best, with the best team.The food was amazing, add a three tiered cake made by Petite Sweet ( love seeing this girl show up at my weddings) and the most delicious cookies laid out on the Thank you table, and you had the start to a beautiful evening. The groom and his groomsmen love to fish, so what do guys who love to fish, wear in place of boutineres, they wear hand tied flys! They were absolutely stunning, and so unique.What do the guys do on the morning of the wedding, they go jigging for cod of course, which was a good thing because they had a fresh cod for the screech in that evening! The brides gorgeous girls wore black and were all visions of beauty. With an outdoor bar set up by Gypsy Tea Room staff, ( Doug you were amazing to deal with) guests were able to roam about the courtyard . Whether under the tent or outside of it. Nicole and her decor team, Design In Colour Event Decor transferred this location into a dream. After the screech in, which the CFA’s (come from aways) did amazing and kissed the fresh cod and drank the screech, everyone was ready to dance the night away. I can’t wait to see the amazing photos, some….you will have never seen before, so keep an eye out on the photographers page, they will be breath taking, I am sure. Steve Sheppard Photography
(I’ll add vendors business pages shortly)

Nicole and Joel , I loved meeting your beautiful girls. You had such a busy week, flying in on Monday, rehearsal on Thursday, wedding Saturday then back home to Nova Scotia. It was my privilege to spend the day with you, your families and friends, it never gets lost on me, that I get to spend the day with you on one of the most treasured days you will ever have.

Thank you for trusting me to coordinate your day.

Congratulations
Jacquie

What can I say about this couple? First of all, every couple is special to me. I am 100% in, I want your day to be everything you wanted, and I will do everything in my power to make sure it is. This couple, was a little extra special to me. Scott was 17 years old and along with his dad, gave up his week nights and weekends to coach my son and a group of young boys in softball. Lacey , the stunning bride went to school with my son, along with some of the bridesmaids. Fast forward and these two lovebirds , along with sweet Charley’s help , decided this was a love , to last forever. These two come from the best families, and have the best friend group…you know the ones , who always have their back, and are always there to support them and cheer them on.
On a beautiful August day, with their ceremony at Holy Trinity in Torbay and a reception in Flatrock, it was a day filled with emotion and so much love. (Have a peak of the first dance, and watch till the end, warning, have your tissues ready)
It was my honour and privilege Lacey and Scott to be with you on your wedding day, it was the best day, with the best people, oh and a shout out to Noel as the MC, best job ever, seriously he could be hired out, as a full time gig. Thank you again, some of my most favorite wedding moments will come from your day.

Gabbie and Troy….one thing I learned about this couple, they can go with changes. From their original DJ getting Covid 2 days before the wedding( which he lined up a replacement immediately) to a change in the original church vision, to day of changes…this couple rolled with it. Troy is Gabbie’s calm, and the love they have for one another is evident. With two of the best moms and two incredible families, these two are a force to be reckoned with. The groom is an avid user of excel😄and is organized beyond a fault, no wonder he works daily as a project manager. His lovely wife is a nurse, and she must have had a calling for this profession, as she is so caring of all those who surround her.
The church filled up quickly for an early ceremony on Friday afternoon, that was officiated by Father Peter from Trespassey, who I have to add has the nicest Irish accent, and has known all the grooms family for years. The Ballroom looked like a fairytale, with candlelight in abundance, and a crowd who were ready to hit the dance floor, no waiting with this group, for guests to get on the floor!
Gabbie & Troy, I want to thank you both for including me in your special day, it went by so quickly, and it was a pleasure to assist you , with your wedding day. Congratulations and wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and love.

Julia and Sam…what an amazing day yesterday. I absolutely adore you both. My day started with Julia ,her squad, her lovely mom and mom in law, at The Willow Room. The environment was filled with love for this lovely bride, her squad….just amazing! They took care of their girl, they danced( Julia had prepared an upbeat playlist of all her favourites)made sure she had everything she needed. Listening to the stories of girl guide camp, and high school anecdotes were absolutely the best, their love for Julia was apparent.

I then moved onto to Bannerman Brewery to make sure everything was on track and on the scheduled timeline.
MAKEvents were the decor masters of this location. Maricel and her team were absolutely amazing to work with. I cannot say enough good things about them. They set up for the ceremony and we’re back right after the ceremony for our room flip to reception. They are just the best to work with, and have the most gorgeous candles, I have ever seen.

The guests were treated to the most talented Venessa Goodyear Harp and Piano Music as she played the baby grand piano with beautiful notes that filled the space. Note: Venessa also played all the entrance music for the bridal party and the brides entrance.

When Sam and groomsmen arrived, I went down to say hello, and Sam asked how Julia was that am, I said she’s awesome, and there was a lot of dancing with her girls and her mom, he said , I’m so glad she’s having the best day, this sentiment was repeated by the groomsmen, they weren’t just Sams guys but Sam and Julia’s guy squad.They were taken into the taproom and had time to chill, relax and have a cold one before they made their way upstairs to the ceremony.
When it was time, I went and got the guys, and a brief moment to line up , take a breath for their entrance to the ceremony,one of the groomsmen had tears in his eyes as they made their entrance.The love for Sam is apparent.

The stunning bride was outside and I escorted her and the girls in, lined up and they make their entrance. Julia enters the room on her handsome dads arm. I say it everytime, as I fluff out the dress before the entrance or walk down the aisle, I get a lump in my throat…it’s like they are one of your own.

The shortest sweetest ceremony, small tech glitch and they were off and running. Their officiant was Jane Morgan and she hands down knows how to how make everyone feel relaxed and super comfortable.
Bob from Jane Morgan’s Music kept the floor hopping with all their favorite tunes. ( See you next Friday, Bob)

Guests left and congratulated the couple on the way out, the room gets emptied quickly for the room flip this way.

Bridal party left for photos , while room flip is completed and decor is redistributed,cake is displayed and the most amazing desserts by Petite Sweet, note the beautiful handcrafted cake stand made by the brides uncle, complete with lighting under the top two tiers.

Reception starts promptly at 6 pm, with scrumptious charcuterie trays, then a hot service of platters and platters of delectable finger foods by Peter Wedgewood and his team.

Speciality dances and the heartfelt toasts ran right on time with the party starting promptly at 8:00 pm.

Julia and Sam, thank you so much for including me in your day, I wish you years and years of happiness and all the love the world has to offer.

What an amazing day July 29th was with Alicia & Dylan. When Alicia contacted me last year, they were living in Toronto, fast forward to the end of 2022, they moved home to NL , bought a house, new job, and let’s plan a wedding!
While all this might have intimidated some, this girl was on board to do it all.
Her plan was a relaxed vibe and they just wanted to spend time with family and friends.They wanted to dance, celebrate and have the best party.
Alicia and Dylan got married on the tour dock , with the aisle flanked by gorgeous wooden benches. There was a bar where guests could grab a cold drink as they sat and awaited the beautiful bride. The handsome groom got to mingle and greet guests as they arrived.
As I fluffed her dress and spread out her stunning pearl adorned veil, I said to her, look at all the people that have come here to watch you and Dylan get married…. as she descended the ramp on her handsome dads arm , all eyes were on her, at the bottom off the ramp, her mom was there to also walk with her and her dad. What she didn’t get to see was all the tears as she walked the aisle to meet her groom.I had never seen so many happy tears from all the guests, this couple is truly loved by many.
I then ran down to Quidi Vidi to set the mood and decor for their reception.
Alicia had chosen three beautiful scented candles that were lit just before everyone arrived, the soft scent was gorgeous as guests entered the space.
The strings of Edison lightbulbs were accented by the soft glow of candles that were lit and spread throughout the venue.
With the most food I have ever see at a wedding, kudos to Nam Jim for the most appetizing menu.
The cake table was draped with sheer fabric that puddled on the floor, with the prettiest two tier cake.
Her signage/ card table was covered in white linens, with personal photos on top of a wooden box to give height, but their guest signage was the star. They had six bottles of wine, one for each of the first 5 anniversaries and one for their tenth, guests signed the backs of the anniversary bottle on a white blank label. It was such a special touch.
I set out tons of cupcakes, and Craig’s cookies(the couple adore these cookies) and it was amazing, they even had a late evening menu from Quidi Vidi Brewery.
This wedding was planned with intent of spending time with those they loved, the bride changed into a stunning jumpsuit, and was ready to party the night away.

Two weekends in a row, with Jordan Light & Sound, as usual, the floor was filled,they are just awesome at what they do.
The super talented Nicole from Nate and Nicole Photography was their to capture every moment.

Congratulations Alicia Rae and Dylan , it was a pleasure to spend this day with you both. Your journey is just starting and it’s going to be amazing.

My beautiful bride and groom from this weekend past. Congratulations Neil & Dawn, it was a pleasure to work with you both. Jordan Light & Sound kept everyone on the floor dancing all night long.
I worked with Dawn many years ago, and was so happy when she contacted me to assist with her wedding.
If you were lucky enough to be a guest on their special day, you saw that this man is head over heels in love with his bride.
His speech to her and about her, gave away for lots of teary eyes in the room. This is what weddings are about, these two waited for their soul mate to come along…and it was definitely worth the wait according to the smiles on their faces the entire day❤️
