To my wonderful repeat customers and those who are new to my business. Just an FYI. Although the majority of my large business is closed, I am still catering for smaller events (not over about 150?). I am no longer in the decorating end of the business but will accommodate small centrepieces, or flower arrangements, bouquets, etc. I also am not able to do the longer distance travel for some events so will be staying within about 45 minutes travel of Coboconk. If you have any questions though please let me know and I can go into more detail about where I am with my business and health. Thanks again for understanding.

Sincerely.

Ali

Hello everyone. As you can probably see, I haven’t made a post in a while. I have still been busy working away on events but a very unexpected health diagnosis has finally taken its toll on me and I am going to be “mostly” closing my business doors. On that note though, I may find myself doing some small activities, so please reach out if you would like and we can chat. If it’s something I find I can help you with it would be my plearure. I would like to sincerely thank each and every client I’ve had over the years for their amazing business and the opportunity to work with them. I wish all of you health, happiness and many years of joy. Thanks again for you patronage.

Ali!!!

I didn't chose you just because you're my best friend in the whole wide world! I chose you because I knew you would capture Derek and I just how I hoped! And I couldn't have been happier, you did what I envisioned and much more! I love you to the moon and back girl😘

Cake - Annemarie Miller
What an absolutely amazing and talented woman! Those cupcakes were gone before dinner was over and my little sister was begging me to cut the cake. What a delicious and BEAUTIFUL touch to our day! Not to mention you were so flexible and fun to work with!

Bartenders - Joanne Cheff Prevost (A Perfect Pour)
You were so pleasant to work with, knowledgable, efficient and I love anyone that keeps the doubles coming 😉 you were so helpful and funny and I really enjoyed having you guys!

DJ - Andy Tough (RMS Events)
Thank you for making sure everything went smoothly! You and Guye did an amazing job making sure my day was full of beautiful moments & fun ones and was kept on track. Guye and his wife were happy to roll with whatever I threw at them and they were so kind no matter what I asked!

Night snack - Alison Dunbar-Bowins (Ali Events Extraordinaire)
The taco bar was such a hit!! Couldn't have had a better night snack to serve some hungry dancers! Also I had a funny moment while your workers were dropping off snack and I thought they were a wedding guest - I gave your daughter a hug hahahah she was really kind about it and we laughed! Thanks so much for the yummy food!

Officiant - Colleen Wilcox
What a wonderful lady to preform our ceremony! For meeting me for lunch a few times prior, just chatting with me and getting to know me and making sure my day was going to be just how I'd hoped - and it was! Not to mention the beautiful much appreciated gift you brought - so thoughtful! Thanks so much for that Colleen! You've been an absolute pleasure and I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful ceremony!

Flowers - The Little Flower Shop
Thank you for the beautiful bouquets and flowers for my bridal party and family! They were absolutely stunning and just made all the photos! You were so kind and patient and excited to help!🙂

Graphic design - Last but not least we would like to thank the people that made our bridal party and parents gifts! They were well loved! Make a Scene, Karen Betts-Woodman(LnK Designs), & Mary Dixon!

My family ranted and raved about how much all of you helped our day go smoothly and how I really did pick great people for our special day! Thank you, thank you everyone! 🙂 I wish all future brides happy wedding planning and highly recccommend all the above folks for your day!
