Wedding Budget

Such a beautiful chapel! We especially love the stained glass ceiling piece, thoughtfully curated by the property owner. Who by the way is very down-to-earth, and is genuinely so happy for his clients. Nicholas made many suggestions to help in our planning stages, as we are unfamiliar with the area. We unfortunately had to change our wedding date (and our new date was unavailable). So, if you’re reading this, looking for a venue. October 25th 2025 is available (but probably won’t be for long, so reserve it while you can!)

The best wedding I went to was here. So beautiful, cozy and romantic.

Cozy church! Perfect for small weddings!

Be careful. If you have to change the date of your event, even for reasons beyond your control, this venue will not refund your deposit. Look elsewhere, which is a shame because the location is magnificent.

ENCHANTING, we are getting married at this place🥰in a very short time

If you want to feel boujie (not on a budget) this is the place to be. We reserved a table for 4 which came with bottomless mimosas and 3 course set menu, $69 per person including tip.

The service was amazing; they accommodated a last minute gluten allergy and my friends were late to the reservation. The server was super understanding and didn’t rush us, so we definitely appreciated all of this.

We started with scones (they were tiny - pictured in the cage) with a very modest serving of preserves for 4 people. The second course you could choose one of two options from the set menu, both are pictured. We got 3 eggs Benny at our table and everyone’s poached eggs were hard (we wanted runny yolk, maybe ask for that specifically if that’s what you want as the server didn’t ask).

My partner also had a tiny serving of preserves with his meal (as seen in the photo). We asked for more preserves for my partners extra scones that came with his meal and they allowed that- so thank you!

Overall we were expecting more bang for our buck. We found that the cost for the amount and quality of food didn’t add up, however the atmosphere and bottomless mimosas was exactly what we needed. We will be returning for the vibes and nibbles but eating a meal elsewhere as the cost for value didn’t make sense.

What a beautiful experience Vanitea
Room is. My daughters and I enjoyed a Sunday brunch in amongst what felt like a step into a space away from daily life.
We enjoyed a fantastic meal filled with flavour and the most amazing home baked bread. The music was spot on
A nostalgic 90’s vibe. Excellent service

Came for a visit as a trio to give brunch a try.
It has been since before the pandemic that I came here for brunch. Not much has changed, and that was very pleasant. The decor atmosphere are simply fantastic. The space has a really great vibe.

We each tried a different dish and I have to say they were all quite solid. The shakshuka was an interesting trust using greens instead of tomatoes. The only real complaint I have is that the drinks seemed a little watered down but maybe I was off this morning.

If you come, give some of the more extravagant offerings a try. You owe it to yourself to splurge a bit

This is a splendid place that makes for a special outing. The decor is pretty and unique. The food was delicious. The tea was great. The menu is fully halal ❤️ and Ghislaine was lovely. Look forward to returning

While the service was great! The deserts for the afternoon tea were evidently all purchased from the grocery store down the street and had a flower placed on top to make it more presentable. The store bought muffins, two bite brownie, and slice of a sheet cake were not what I was expected when paying over $50 for afternoon tea. I would also not recommend going in the summer with the located having only a few fans to combat the no AC.

My husband and I got married in Cabo and I can’t say enough amazing things about our wedding planner Tiffany. From the moment we started working together, she made the entire wedding planning process so stress-free and enjoyable (including our weekly chats that i really looked forward to). Tiffany went above and beyond in every way, making sure every detail was perfect—not just for the wedding, but also for our welcome yacht party, which was such an incredible experience for our guests. Our wedding day was absolutely beautiful, and I am so grateful. Thank you for everything.

My husband and I recently had a destination wedding at Planet Hollywood Costa Rica and was so pleased with all the pre wedding coordination! From the start, I had found a better rate for the resort on their website than was offered since we booked so far in advance. They agreed to price match the rates I found but then ended up giving us an even better rate, which made it much more affordable for our guests. Kawal was the best travel agent and always replied in a few hours to all my countless questions. Kawal was on top of it, sending me weekly guest list updates and let me know about the group concessions to expect before we even left for the trip. All the group concessions were as promised and they made us feel so taken care of at a private group check in at the resort. I got multiple compliments from my guests who interacted with Kawal about how attentive and helpful the service was. I had multiple hiccups with my airport transfers between deciding which guests would be on my private transfer and flight changes but Kawal took care of it by emailing guests directly and took the stress off of me! Kawal made the experience of coordinating a large group vacation easy!!

Diane was our off site wedding coordinator and she was amazing! I was so sad that she could not be there on the day of the wedding to see it all through. She was so easy to work with and paid attention to details. She was so kind in replying to all my emails as I stressed about forgetting any details. The resort was beautiful, the wedding everything I dreamed it to be and everyone has an amazing time!

Michael DiDomenico was our travel specialist, and he was amazing throughout. He responded to emails so quickly, whether it was an inquiry, concern, or any adjustment that needed to be made with our reservation. We attended our goddaughter's wedding at Royalton Splash Riviera in Cancun. There was no issue with the check-in. The view, food, and staff were all amazing.

Christy was recommended by a family member as I was a little overwhelmed with booking my first trip solo parenting and making a choice with all the options. She was able to help me find a great resort in my price range for myself and my daughter to travel to the Caribbean that was exactly what I was looking for. She called me and answered all my questions about the travel process, preparation, and resort so that I felt confident and safe going. We had a wonderful trip and will be using her again this winter. I highly recommend her!

Luxe is truly amazing at what they do. They made my destination wedding planning exciting and stress-free!! I actually was not stressed out once!! They are so kind, helpful and respond quickly to emails! They go above and beyond for their brides! My wedding was so magical and felt like it was from a movie! Everything was perfect! I know all brides will be in good hands with Luxe!!

Working with Cynthia was one of the best things I decided when choosing vendors for my wedding. She went above and beyond to meet all the changes that we had to make due to covid circumstances up until the very day of my wedding. She does beautiful work and provides high quality decor. From the initial meeting to the day of the wedding her communication was on point, she listened to exactly what my vision was and brought it to life. I highly recommend working with her for any event needs!!

We had a wonderful experience with Moonlight events during the pandemic, when all vendors are way too overworked- which is saying a lot. Cynthia always kept us in the loop despite being very busy, was very patient and reliable, accessible, and she took the time to explain many things to us. I am a very detail-oriented bride(zilla), and she worked so hard to make my vision come true and made sure I was happy. She is so kind and gave us solid advice that saved us money. Our event was gorgeous. I wish I could rate her more starts for outstanding customer service!

EDIT: In response to the owner's response -

1. I never said I contacted you directly. It says "we requested". To clarify further, it was a family friend that contacted you through her supply company. She advised she had sent the same picture multiple times and said that we were looking for the tallest ones of the lot of 3. You didn't specify that you had shorter ones, just that you carried these and had the tallest one available.

2. We arrived early, said that we were sorry that we were early and the response verbatim was "it's ok, I forgot you were coming today" and then the owner rushed to find everything - which she did not.

3. I said they were 10 inches, not 10 inches shorter. We measured them and it was the shortest one of the lot.

4. That is untrue. We left the store with a promise that the owner would call for 6 more of the same size. This solution was not followed through. Please see below #5 for further details.

5. We were offered 8 different sized holders, not the same ones as the 6. However, we were specific that we wanted all 1 size (I was outside crying because they did not have what we were hoping for in 1 size). Additionally, should we have used the 8 other holders, the tables would not be symmetrical amongst all 12 tables and would not have worked well with our table numbers.

6. No one asked us for payment. In the end, we did not offer payment because we were not given what we were looking for and it seemed to be understood that we wouldn't pay for what we didn't receive. If you wanted payment, then why were we allowed to leave your store without giving a deposit or payment and drop off the items without being requested to pay? Again, however, payment was never brought up to us. You followed up a week after my wedding, only to our family friend, and then when we got the message and were able to come by, they were dropped off the week after. The many attempts to us directly is untrue.

7. I said "somewhat plastic-ky" as in low-quality. They did not feel the same as the ones we received from WeDecor which were much better quality glass. I could also go into specifics of how they came in a torn-up box, if necessary.

ORIGINAL POST:

Had the worst experience with this decor company and would not recommend. At least 6 months before our wedding, we requested 12 long-stemmed, Monet candle holders as our centrepieces with exact pictures (15 inches). We were assured a few times that they have them. When we arrived 2 days before the wedding to pick them up, she claimed that she forgot we were coming (confirmed the day before) and rushed to get the holders together. She showed us these much shorter (less than 10 inches), somewhat plasticky, low-quality holders and said she only had 6 of them. I showed her the picture, again, of what we wanted and she said she uses these holders interchangeably. This was never stated to us before and honestly they were far from the same. We ended up taking the 6 because we had no other choice and she promised she’d look around and call us that day when she found another 6. She never called us that day and never heard from her again until we dropped off the 6 back to her. After panicking, we found WeDecor and not only were they wonderfully kind, but they had so many different options for us, including high-quality 15 inch stemmed candles. Would never go to Moonlight Decor again.

My husband and I had an all around great experience dealing with Moonlight. They are very passionate about their work and very talented in making your ideas come to reality. There is a wide range of different decor for anyones style. They do a good job working with your ideas and budget. We got our flowers there as well which eliminated one extra vendor to coordinate. Our flowers, ceramony and reception turned out beautiful. It is nice that they put up the decorations and also picked them up at the end of the night. The wedding was stunning and it was obvious the care and attention to detail that took place when they set up. They were worth every penny! Very pleasant to deal with!

We had an absolute wondering experience working with the Moonlight Events team for our wedding in May 2016. From initial meeting to final product, they were able to deliver above expectations!

We rented chiavari chair and head table decors from them, discussed our thoughts and ideas, and essentially left the rest of the decorating to them. On our wedding day, the decor was done beautifully and was beyond our expectation. Everything was done seamlessly even with the hiccups that occurs on the day of. We highly recommend Moonlight Events to any couple for their wedding day. You will not be disappointed!

Courteous, professional personnel all the way. Boat was clean with lots of room to move around. Guided tour in both languages was very interesting and well done. Refreshments available. Washrooms on board. Decent price. I'll take it again. 🤨🤨🤨

Melodie was hilarious, the boat ride views are beautiful. Sit in the front (near the bar) 😉😄

We were on this boat on Saturday night for the 80’s dance party
Very little seating, no windows in centre section of both decks, out door at front and back of boat were standing only and the smoking area
Stood in line for 30 min to get a drink
Staff was friendly and accommodating
But we won’t be sailing with them again

We bought 6 tickets in 2022 and it was already closed earlier than usual even though we made it on time. After that, we couldn't go at all in 2022 since it was closed until the following year. The person was nice enough to let us know that we could go at any time as long as the ticket wasn't scanned. We couldn't go in 2023 due to our family member passing away. Then we decided to go this year, so we emailed Julia about our tickets since it still hasn't been scanned. Julia rejected it altogether even though I told her about our situation. We felt cheated and hurt. We trusted them to keep their word and we were quite naive, unfortunately. This company absolutely has no integrity. I highly recommend staying FAR away from this company. It was a quite expensive mistake and we greatly regret it.

Ottawa - May Long Weekend
Booked this cruise online on the Ekeau Website - very easy to do.
They offer 2 types of tickets - premium and regular - premium gives you first pick of the seats and costs a few dollars more - we booked premium.
This is an electric boat - very quiet and a very smooth ride - mind you, there is not real disruptions on the Rideau Canal.
The ticket taker scanned our tickets - easy to save in Google Wallet for scanning - and lined everyone up politely and neatly. He was very professional and courteous. They had our names in their Scanner and new how many were in our party.
Once the boat was prepped for boarding, they boarded the few premium people first and then the rest.
The Tour Guide was a bilingual young man who was very entertaining and funny - always calling out to people on the shore for everyone to wave. He was very informative and answered questions. Unfortunately, the foliage on the shore did block views of some things - but that is nature. The boat ride was awesome. He did mention at first that the "bar" was open, but the seats were very close together and getting out of them was not very easy to do - so, no one approached the bar until the return trip (once the boat turned around).
On the return trip, the Tour Guide went around the boat answering questions to ensure everyone had equal opportunity to ask questions and talk to him.
Boat - very clean and smooth ride. 5/5
Staff - very courteous and professional 5/5
Tour Guide - funny, easy going, articulate in both languages, receptive to feedback and always offering to answer questions 5/5
Overall Trip - 5/5
Not very expensive - I recommend it!!
