When the Mission Hospice Society asked for a wine wall with a tropical paradise theme, I custom designed this wine rack wall from the ground up to match their vision.

From sourcing the piece, to sanding, painting, lighting, and full styling, every detail was intentionally designed to create a high-end, immersive feature for the event.

This is exactly what we do at DIY Wedding Helper, take something simple and transform it into a fully customized statement piece for your event.

Your vision, executed at a elevated level. 🌴

A big shoutout to Justin and Alyssa from Raising The Bar Events👏

While their business is bartending, they stepped in for the Mission Hospice Society Gala in a different role, joining the service team with Tony from The Fishing Panda Food Truck & Catering and supporting me on the floor as part of the front-of-house leadership.

They weren’t just helping, they were my seconds in managing service, making sure everything stayed elevated, efficient, and running smoothly throughout the night.

This is exactly what stood out: their level of experience. They were able to jump into a completely different role, adapt quickly, and still bring a high standard of service, professionalism, and great energy to the event.

Working alongside them and Tony from The Fishing Panda, it’s clear how strong this team is together! A well-oiled, high-efficiency group that knows how to execute events properly and always willing to raise the bar. The feedback from the Hospice Gala Council meant a lot! They shared that we did such amazing service it allowed them to relax, enjoy their event, and trust that everything was being handled.

That’s the difference. Guests feel taken care of, and clients get real peace of mind.

And while this event had them wearing a different hat, bartending is what they do best. If you’re looking for a bartending team that’s professional, adaptable, and truly easy to work with, I would absolutely recommend them.

✨Grateful to have had you both part of this!

Mission Hospice Society, Gala ✨🌴Tropical Paradise

This event was something very special.

DIY Wedding Helper was contracted by Tony from The Fishing Panda Food Truck & Catering to support this gala through part event coordination, planning, custom decor design, and full front-of-house service management. This is exactly where I thrive making order out of what could have been chaos.

From collaborating on the buffet design, dessert table, and creating the wine rack wall feature behind us, to managing staff, service flow, guest experience, and rental event setup. I stepped into every role needed to ensure this event ran seamlessly.

Because the truth is, great events don’t happen by accident.
They happen when people are willing to wear every hat necessary to make it all come together.

Tony and I went far beyond our original scope to make sure this night felt effortless, elevated, and meaningful for every guest in the room. I’m incredibly proud of what we all created together.

A huge thank you to the Mission Hospice society Gala Council, especially Siobhan, Courtney, and Lesley for trusting us with your vision. It was an honor to help bring it to life.

And to the community, Thank you for showing up and supporting such an important cause. Mission Hospice does incredible work, and it meant a lot to be part of something that gives back in such a real way.

If you’re planning an event and want someone who can step in, take ownership, and execute at a high level, that’s what I do.
