Last time, we talked about where newly weds like to host their banquets in these days. Is banquet hall still their choice? The other day I've read an interesting article that has suggested new places that people can consider... barns, parks, golf courses, etc.
Believe it or not... art performance centres/museums are on the list too. They can now cater weddings. The ones within the GTA accept wedding banquet reservations include: Art Gallery of Ontario, Living Arts Centre (shown in the picture), Sony Center for the performing arts and Burlington Art Centre. This sounds unique... with a bit of art essence added onto your wedding day.
Not an artistic person and prefer the water theme? No problem, choices are there for you to pick. Consider the Spencer's at the Waterfront, cruises in Toronto or the Atlantis Pavilions.
Overall, be creative and call the venues on your dream list... have a chat with them and there may be nice surprises. Good luck to all the bride- & groom-to be on their big day planning!
Yummy yummy yummy... the past weekend (June 22 thru 24) was the Oakville Family Ribfest organized by the Rotary Club of Oakville Trafalgar. Numerous award winning rib vendors there. Is that the only thing about this rib fest? Of course not, that's why it's so much FUN to be there. There were lots of bouncing castles, face painting, entertainment on the stage and they are all free. There must be something there to make your family members at all ages being happy there.
Wait wait wait... are we missing something here? Why's there a cupcake showing in the picture? Y-E-S... other than the ribbers, there are also vendors selling corn on the cob, ice cream, funnel cakes, fried bananas, blooming onions, lollipops and... cupcakes. The one featured here is the Margarita Lime by Sweet Temptations Cupcakery. Wooo... mouth-watering... hee... this year, they've brought us other favors including: Chocoholics Anonymous, Pink Lemonade, Fresh Ontario Strawberry, Peanut Butter Chocolate and Cookies & Cream. Amazing...
After this fun- and food-filled fest, we're all happy and mom can skip a cooking evening. What a wonderful day!
p.s. Thanks to Katie from Sweet Temptations Cupcakery presenting us the nice cupcake :)
Woohoohoo... this year's wedding season must have commenced. We have received our first invite (nicely designed, like it) from the lovely couple Amy & Thomas. They've been dating for a long long time; we're happy to see their big day has finally announced. The ceremony will be hosted nearby the Bronte Harbour and the reception will be at a convention centre within the area.
Umm... I'm wondering what the current trend of wedding reception is. Would there be more options than the traditional wedding banquet halls? Let me check it out this evening... see if I would have something to share with you all within the next few days.
This is an interesting one that I just found from my friend's FB page. That reminds me what my facial expression was, when I called around for quotes intended for my wedding photography... it was way back in 5 years ago.
After knowing more about photography, I now understand why there are photographers who charge you for $$$$$ - they deserve it; particularly for wedding photography, it's a once in a life moment, no re-take can be done. You have to be talented and experienced enough to know when to click the 'button' at the right second... not a second off... Without the numerous practices, you just can't do it. Can we do this with an auto-mode? Maybe you can have a few lucky shots...
Looking at some of the bullets mentioning about the big names, it has made me laughed... 'coz I were at those places before. Would I go back again? haha... never ever...
Sunday mornings are usually the time that my hubby and me taking our 'little Monkey B' to swimming class. May 27 was an exception, mommy has to skip class for her own class assignment.
I did my first ever engagement shoot with my great group members, Janine & Rob. It was a great experience... no complaint about the weather at all. Lucky to have the sweetest couple helping us out... lots of fun, lots of kisses, lots of love = lots of beautiful pix.
Ida & Paul, here I wish you the best of luck in the next stage of your life. Happy together :)
