On the blog S + C 🤍🤍⁠

After countless hours of working together to plan their wedding it became clear to me that not only were Sarah and Craig excited about their wedding day they were equally as excited about their marriage. These two are some of the most genuine people I’ve ever met and are so perfectly matched. It goes without saying that they truly bring out the best in one another; their family and friends spoke so highly of them both and it was evident that they value one another and their loved ones deeply.⁠

S + C it was an absolute joy to be a part of your beautiful day!! ⁠

Is a Full Planning Package for you? 🤔⁠

Are you full-time working professionals with busy schedules? ⁠

Are you willing to put in countless hours after work & on weekends to source, meet & book potential vendors? ⁠

Does the thought of doing anything but pinning to your Pinterest board make you want to sweat? ⁠

Here are some kind words from a past Full Planning Solau Client: ⁠

"It was well worth the investment to have a professional need so little direction and bring together our dream with minimal need from us to micromanage details. We wanted to get married but didn’t think it would live up to the high praise of being the truly best day ever, whatever we got was truly your design and it was beyond perfect" 🤍🤍🤍⁠

At the end of August my beautiful sister-in-law married the man of her dreams & the day was beyond perfect in so many ways💕⁠

What you might not know, is that Shannon & Mitch have a lot to do with where I am today. When they got engaged in October 2020 they looked to me to help support them in their wedding planning journey, Solau Weddings & Events was barely a thought at the time- Shannon just knew my passion for weddings & planning! It was with her encouragement that my business was born & for that I am forever grateful! ⁠

Not only did I begin to build my business from that moment forward, I got the chance to help my new sister & her husband plan their dream wedding-- it was also an honour to stand with them both as they celebrated their love!⁠

I love you both so much xoxoxo ⁠

🎉🎉 HAPPY ANNIVERSARY 🎉🎉⁠

It is unbelievable to me that it's been a whole year since I launched my secret project to the world🌏 ⁠

This passion project had been in the works for months prior to officially launching on June 8, 2021 & has come such a long way from that milestone!⁠

Here are a few highlights: ⁠

✅ learning & growing with the best ⁠

✅ producing my first ever styled shoot ⁠

✅ assisting with the ever so talented & the .studio team⁠

✅ booking & working my own wedding ⁠

✅ collaborating with vendors for a second shoot and getting published on ⁠

✅ attending content day in Niagara On The Lake ⁠

✅ booking a FULL season for 2022 ⁠

✅ planned and executed my first ever full planning wedding for a beautiful couple in only 6 months at the stunning ⁠

It has been one heck of a busy year, but I wouldn't have it any other way, thank you for being apart of it❤️⁠

Cheers🥂

Ceremony shots are some of my absolute favourites-- the reason for the entire day-- having your family and friends witnessing your marriage to one another!!⁠

M + T's wedding ceremony was captured so beautifully🤍⁠

Think about your wedding day, already married or engaged-- did you consider ceremony photos an important part of your shot list? Will you now? 📸⁠

That feeling when you launch your dream wedding business —lookin' like a total boss— and style an incredible branding shoot. 🤩 I could not be more thrilled for Solau Weddings & Events right now! ⁠

Sonia was excited at the prospect of switching career paths and launching her wedding planning business over maternity leave.⁠

Instead of muddling along, she wisely chose to invest in my 3-month coaching program. With me in her corner she was able to skip all the googling and self-doubt, and take a clear shortcut to success. 🗺️⁠

Together, we built her branding and marketing strategy, and the bones of her business and planning services. ⁠

The result? ✨ A solid launch that's lead to some great industry partnerships and her first booking in a matter of weeks!⁠

🚀 If you want to hit the accelerator on your ⁠new wedding business —with a partner who's been there and done that— get all the details on my website. Link in bio.⁠
