There is nothing I love more than a couple that loves each other as well as great food and design. Although Elise and Dennis didn’t reach out until a few months before their wedding, it always surprises my couples how much left there is to do. Luckily, we all seemed to be on the same page on the direction for the big day. The bride wanted soft tones punched with some bright colours in the florals. Although the entire day would include some of their Italian roots in the food provided by Buca Restaurant, the day would mostly just reflect them as an urban Toronto couple. They chose the downtown Toronto venue of The Great Hall that provided lots of natural light so that the photographer, Scarlet O’Oneill, couple capture the day beautifully. The ceremony focused on a whimsical and deconstructed baby’s breath installation surrounded by modern sleek chairs for their closest 120 guests. After the ceremony, guests were welcomed upstairs on the mezzanine for apps and drinks while overlooking the reception that was receiving the final touches with candles being lit and florals being tweeted. After appies, the guests came down to the beautifully cozy reception area. Everyone got to sit nice and close for a. family-style dinner service that was beyond words! After an amazing meal, it only had to be followed by some amazing live music! The band played into the night and the couple got to sneak out for one last mini-shoot with the photographer to wrap up the night! What a beautiful day it was with some positive energy. I always love working at this venue and this day was no different.

Sending all my love to the newlyweds and their families!
