Julie & Gina - An Old Montreal Wedding

When choosing your Montreal wedding or event planner, it really is about the 'click fit' more than anything else. Do our personalities fit, will we have fun planning this wedding or event together, did I understand your vision and build trust? Well, for me often I only get one chance when working with couples from out of town to do this and do it well, and usually over the telephone! This is exactly, what happened when I met Julie, 'over the phone' for the first time!

It was clear from the outset that they wanted a beautiful intimate roof top wedding, with around 25 of their nearest and dearest! Coming from New York and trying to work and move house at the same time, I was able to take the stress out of the organisation, so they were able to relax and enjoy the lead up to their special day!

The wedding was planned in just 3 month and we had our rooftop restaurant overlooking the old port of Montreal, Julie had chosen soft lilac's and greens for her flowers and we even had a religious officient, who although could not perform a religious ceremony, we were certainly able to bring in religious elements that were very important to Gina.

So everything was PERFECT...... except mother nature and the heaven's opened!! At this point there is only one thing you can do.... 'go with the flow', no-body want's rain on their wedding day, and although we cannot always predict the rain - we can certainly plan for the rain which is exactly what we did. Those umbrella's were whipped out for the photographs and the rooftop reception was moved to a very intimate old stone part of the restaurant!

So if rain is part of your special day - embrace it and smile just as Julie and Gina did, their wedding day was still extremely special and to them just perfect!
