No one is like YOU! Tell us a little bit about your organization and why you love doing what you do!
I feel so privileged to be part of a couple’s sacred time on their wedding day. I love hearing about how they met and how their love story began. There is a very special bond and trust that develops when I work with a couple to craft their ceremony. My ceremonies are always romantic, personal, and a bit of fun. I love the moment when I ask the couple to join hands and face each other. Their eyes meet, a hush settles over the guests, and it’s absolutely magical when I say, ‘We are gathered here today!’
We have to ask! What’s your fave part about working with LiUNA Station?
I love working with LiUNA because everything runs so smoothly. They truly deliver on your dreams! The team at LiUNA is exceptional. They take the time to listen to a couple’s vision and offer every option imaginable. On the BIG DAY, LiUNA gets all the details right, from the décor to the amazing food and desserts. This is the place to have your wedding—your guests and family will be in awe!
Share with us your favourite stand out LiUNA event that you worked on!
LiUNA hosts so many fantastic events—the auctions, charitable galas, and Christmas events—but my favourite are the weddings!
From décor and lighting to florals and photography – What is your top tip for working a LiUNA event?
My biggest tip for couples is to have photos or links to your favorite ideas. Sometimes, you know exactly what you want—go for that! But if you’re not sure, let the professionals offer you some options. You’ll be amazed at what’s out there!
What trends are you looking forward to most in 2024 within your industry?
I love that couples are bringing back meaningful rituals into their ceremonies. Some of these have cultural or ethnic roots, but many are simply beautiful ways for a couple to demonstrate their everlasting love. So beautiful!
