October 24th, 2015

J & C had originally inquired about decorating and takedown services, but ended up adding Day of Coordination services! I LOVED their colour scheme, decorations, and everything they had planned for their wedding. Again, I was giving full "creative freedom" for their wedding as far as decorations went!
 
The backdrop came from Special Event Rentals based out of Red Deer. Everything else the bride and groom purchased during their engagement. I loved that they added in flowers, pumpkins, leaves, apples, and that they used fall colours along with brown and burlap.
 
Being that I absolutely love the colours of fall and pumpkins, made decorating that much easier. When J told me that I could have some creative freedom and they trusted me to make their day complete, I was overjoyed, and I had a vision in my head, long before I told them I did. I love how the colours all came together and complimented each other, and the flowers added a little pop of colour. Everywhere there is tulle in the photos, there are white lights under it to make it glow.
 
 




September 5th, 2015

I met with R & D several times throughout their wedding planning process. They were a pleasure to work with, always had challenging questions, and were an organized couple! They hired me to do Day of Coordination and takedown for their wedding.
 
I love the colours they chose, they aren't your standard colours, but they suited their style and personality. Below, you'll see quilting squares, this is their guestbook. You wrote your well wishes on the quilting square and later on they will be turned into a really nice hand made quilt! I hope I get to see the finish product, I think it's a fantastic keepsake from your wedding day.
 
R & D had some really neat and intriguing traditions in their families, that had been passed down many generations. By the cake, you can see a sword, this sword was used to cut their Icelandic Cake (I'm sorry guys, I cannot remember the name of it), this was a tradition is his family. R's family did tequila shots!
 
I loved working with R & D throughout their wedding planning process, and I am so happy that I was able to provide information, stress relief, and that their wedding night went smoothly and as planned!
 
 




August 29th, 2015

I loved working with N & B, they were very relaxed and wanted to have fun and enjoy their wedding. I was given the opportunity for a little "creative freedom" for their wedding, I was hired for Day of Coordination, but there was a few little details I was asked to complete.
 
They went for simple and elegant, and this wedding was just that. Their ceremony was held outside at Canyon Ski Hill, although it was a little windy, the day was otherwise nice. I really love the atmosphere that Canyon Ski Hill offers in their banquet room. It's rustic, but will suit any and all themes and colour schemes.
 
As you can see, there are mini cupcakes paired with their cutting cake. There were 13 different flavours of mini cupcakes from a lady based out of Sylvan Lake. They're so flavourful and delicious, not to mention how cosmetically pretty they are!
 
 




July 25th, 2015

A hired me to do decorating, takedown and Day of Coordination for their beautiful Kananaskis wedding. The ceremony originally was set to be outside, however the hotel cancelled the plan because it was raining. It was unfortunate because the view they had for their ceremony was stunning.
 
At first I wasn't sure of the colours A had chosen, Peacock Blue and Purple. They were different, and I wasn't sure how well they would go together. See for yourself below, they looked incredible paired together. Her centrepieces had real flowers, and smelled amazing! The Cigar Bar was something new to me, I haven't seen one at a wedding before. I like that it added an extra special personal touch as the groom enjoyed cigars. Lets talk about the cute twig hearts on the cupcakes, they were on EVERY cupcake, and there was a gorgeous "F" for their cake topper. Everything looked stunning in the end, as you can see in the photos below! This wedding was at the Delta Kananaskis, which truly was beautiful!

July 11th, 2015

C hired me to assist her with their vow renewal. She was incredible to work with and had so many fantastic ideas. Their vow renewal was in the Banff Springs Hotel, which is STUNNING.

I did the set up and take down for this vow renewal with approximately 12 guests. They picked an incredible venue, the views were stunning, the architecture was beautiful, and the landscaping around the Banff Springs Hotel just completed the package.








June 20th, 2015

I was hired by A to do their decorating and take down. Their wedding was held at the Black Knight Inn in Red Deer. Just like the other venues I have worked with this year, the staff at BKI were fantastic and really helpful!

I had an assistant for this wedding, and I am so glad I did because it gave me more time to focus on the fine details, and making sure the chair sashes looked fantastic. I loved the colours they used, and how everything turned out.

The chair covers were spandex and wrapped around each leg individually, they were accompanied by satin eggplant purple sashes and runners. Each table was dressed in white with a purple satin runner, purple rose petals and diamonds, along with a diamond and orchid centrepiece that had purple lighting.

There was approximately 90 people at this wedding, and set up took 5 hours with my assistant and myself, takedown took 2 hours between the two of us.

June 13th, 2015

For S & A's wedding, I did Day of Coordination, with minimal set up. The day was windy and rainy off and on, which made it a little challenging to keep everyone dry, and everything standing for their outdoor ceremony. BUT the rain broke for the duration of the ceremony and started just after they shared their first kiss, what a wonderful way to end an outdoor ceremony.

The timeline for this wedding was unique, they did their first look and photos prior to their 5:00PM ceremony. This was a new adventure for me as I hadn't been a part of a wedding that had a unique timeline like this one.

Their reception had a very intimate and romantic feeling to it, and I just adored the way it turned out!

For more photos, please view their album on my Facebook Page; https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1642670025973710.1073741835.1410822525825129&type=3





June 6th, 2015

A & A were an organized couple, that were relaxed. They were on top of everything and had their own checklists for every aspect of their wedding. I did Day of Coordination for this lovely couple, which included a little bit of set up for the ceremony area. For coordination, I attended their rehearsal and gave instruction as to when each party should walk, suggestions on how the groom should assist his bride to their standing position at the ceremony, along with coordinated their grand entrance.

Their wedding was at the Innisfail Golf Course, what a lovely venue for a Spring - Autumn wedding. The staff was fantastic, everything they coordinated ran on time with the schedule for A & A, and there were no issues. The food was also delicious!



This wedding was unique, I love the bird cages with the bird nests & treats! They were absolutely adorable! The bride and groom made their own cake stands, and their own guestbook, they're very talented!

May 9th, 2015

I first met with this bride a in October 2014, and I remember liking her personality and knew that this was going to be a fun wedding. It really was a fun wedding, from the rehearsal, to set up, to the funny wedding party.

They went for simplicity, but it looked stunning, as you can see. They had a garlic pepper spice for their take home favour for all of the guests (which by the way, tastes yummy on SO many things). Their centrepieces were done by Calyx Floral Design, they include white lilies, blue water beads, and black grass to dress the bowls up.

There was 240 guests at T & J's wedding, so there was a lot of decorating to do, however ALL of the wedding party was very involved in making this process easy, a lot of them even learned how to tie the bows for the sashes! The venue they chose was Sylvan Lake Community Centre, which I highly recommend, the staff is amazing to work with, and they're so helpful in every aspect.

Here's a few photos of the ceremony and reception!

For more photos, please view them on my Facebook Page; https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1627046450869401.1073741834.1410822525825129&type=3

Special Event Rentals

I'm not even sure where to begin when it comes to Special Event Rentals and the services they provide! Orin, Karen, and Paul are amazing people to work with, they're kind, personable, easy going, they offer advice & suggestions, and they provide you with ALL of the information you may need. Their show room is outstanding, and always looks fantastic! Not only is their showroom heavenly for a decorator to walk in to but each individual greets you with a smile on their face and asks you what they can help with. With these three amazing staff members to work with, each and every event or wedding will run smoothly and according to plan! At Special Event Rentals they offer a wide variety of items, anything from linens, chairs, tables, decorative pieces, place settings, backdrops, event tents, and a whole LOT more.

cid:image001.jpg@01D07DDA.BACFD6B0

To show case Special Event Rentals, I asked Paul a few questions;

How long have you been in business?
Our original branch and current head office is in Edmonton and have been doing business for 30 years. Our Red Deer branch is now going on our third year of business.

What's your favourite thing about your job?
I love the great team I have the privilege of working with. Orin Steward is exemplary as a manager, customer service, and product knowledge. Karen Chenard is fun, knowledgeable, professional and constantly receives praise from customers thrilled with their experience with us.

What do you enjoy most about working with brides and grooms?
I love it when a bride and groom come in after their big day thrilled that all went smooth. We only get one chance to get it right and we do our utmost to make sure all the details are attended to in accordance to the bride and grooms wishes.

What is the best part about working with preferred vendors?
Being a part of their ongoing success! Our preferred vendors are the top professionals in their respective fields and this commitment to customer service is on par with the level of service we demand from ourselves.

What do you have to offer that other vendors in your field don't?
I love that question! We have the largest selection of rental inventory in Western Canada, we invest over a million dollars in new equipment every year and we own our entire inventory, thus ensuring top quality products.

What got you into this business?
Our founder and president started off 30 years ago selling popcorn which led to renting out tables and chairs shortly thereafter. The rest is history.

If you could be an animal, which would you be? And why?
I would be a bald eagle because I could fly and be the master of the skies.


Here's a glance into their beautiful show room!

Calyx Floral Design

I've been working with Travis for almost 2 years. Every time I meet Travis at her office with one of my brides to discuss bouquets, centrepieces, or another wonderful piece that Travis has to offer, I can see the true joy and passion she has for working with flowers. I have never had a bride who has been disappointed with the arrangements that Travis has created, and when we leave our appointment with her, I can see the rush of excitement coming over the brides I work with, at that same moment, you can see the stress of finding a florist and not being sure of what they're looking for....Just melt away. Travis gives you so many ideas and so many options, she really truly cares and listens to what each bride wants as an individual. She designs a bouquet to suit the style of every bride, not just a bouquet that matches the colour scheme of the wedding.



As with each preferred vendor, there is a mini "interview" that they go through to let you see a little about them and a little about their business.

How long have you been in business?
Seven years :)

What's your favourite thing about your job?
Opening up boxes of flowers. It's like Christmas every week.

What do you enjoy most about working with brides and grooms?
I love that each wedding is unique and that each couple is looking for something different which allows me to be very creative.

What is the best part about working with preferred vendors?
They know the brides style and that they are reliable!

What do you have to offer that other vendors in your field don't?
I specialize in weddings and so I can focus solely on what they are looking for without distractions of 'daily' orders.

If you could be an animal, which would you be? And why?
Probably a rabbit. They are so cute :)

What got you into this business?
I LOVE flowers! They truly are my passion. I found a way to make a living doing my favourite thing!

^^This is Travis^^

MC Timeline

To go hand in hand with the Day Of Timeline, I also create an MC Timeline, if you or your MC wish to have one! I find it helpful because I can add in a write up about who is speaking, reminders for the MC to announce, the names of the speech makers, and again, I can add almost anything to the MC Timeline as well!

Each timeline takes approximately 30 minutes to complete, depending on the depth and complexity of each timeline. I meet with you 2 weeks prior to your wedding to start drafting the timelines, and produce a final draft one week before your wedding!

Pictured below is a very simple MC Timeline! Minimal reminders for the MC, and of course, no names are included on this sample!

Day Of Timeline

Well, I've been working on the Day Of Timeline for my first wedding of the year, it's next weekend! I think creating the timelines for the weddings I work on, is one of my favourite things to do for each wedding! It brings down the stress levels of the brides I'm doing them for, and I LOVE creating things!

Each Day Of Timeline is created just for YOU! Each one is personalized to your wedding, to the timeline for your wedding, and to your specifications! It can be as big or as small as you want! Here's a sample one that I've done up, it's based on my first wedding this year, but I removed everyone's names!

Each Day Of Timeline takes approximately ONE hour to create, depending on the depth and complexity included. This time does not include the time I spend with you making a draft, or any additional editing time. This is strictly the time it takes me to make the FIRST draft for you!

Wedding Questionnaire

When I meet with each bride, or couple (sometimes the grooms cannot attend our initial meeting), I give them a Wedding Questionnaire. It covers every aspect of a wedding to make sure that nothing is overlooked or forgotten, because it does happen! I ask that you return this questionnaire at least 1 week prior to your wedding, that way I have ALL of the details and can be familiarized with every detail, name, vendor, and contact information.

Here's the front page of my questionnaire so you get an idea!

Each Questionnaire Package includes the following information;
  • Ceremony Information - location, name & phone number, decoration info, time
  • Reception Information - location, name & phone number, decoration info, fees, time
  • Officiant's Information - name & phone number, fees (if remaining to be paid)
  • DJ/Band Information - name & phone number, list of music for dances, etc
  • Bakers Information - name & phone number, fees if remaining, what you ordered
  • Caterer's Information - name & phone number, fees if remaining, what you ordered
  • Bridal Party Information - names, roles, contact information, ring bearers, flower girls
  • Family Dynamics - IE. Divorce, people who dislike each other, possible altercations
  • Point of Contact - name & number, this is someone you trust to make any decisions for you (especially involving money)
  • Guest Count
  • What type of wedding you are planning - rustic, traditional, country, laid back, formal, informal

Day Of Coordination Package

The process of the Day of Coordination package generally starts 4 weeks before your wedding date! That's right, a whole 30 days before your wedding, when you're down to crunch time and need someone to remind you to breathe and help you keep your stress levels to a minimum.

Every Day of Coordination package ends up being a little bit different than the one before or after it, each couple requires different aspects that they need some guidance or help with! I start with a standard package and can customize it when we meet or discuss what you're looking for!

Here is everything that's included in my Day of Coordination package;
  • Complementary consultation, up to two hours of face to face meetings, and unlimited phone, text, or email communication
  • Complete walk through of ceremony and reception sites, two weeks prior to wedding
  • Review and confirm vendor details

Working With All Eternity Wedding Planning

I thought I would tell you a little bit about the process of working with All Eternity Wedding Planning! I don't want there to be anything hidden in my work with you, I have no hidden fees, nothing that will come up after your event or anything like that. I am an open book. Lets go through this in steps!

When you contact me, I ask you a series of questions;
- When is your wedding?
- How many guests are you having?
- What are you doing for decorations?
- What services would you like to book with me?
- What is the location of your ceremony and reception sites?
- Would you like to meet with me prior to booking?

I ask you these questions so I have a solid idea of what to quote you prior to sending you any numbers. I want to provide you with a quote that is relatively accurate, now please know that I cannot be 100% accurate on mileage fees or per hour work, these are all estimates.

When you respond to me with locations, services, date, and guest numbers, I send you a quote if I am available for your wedding date. Each quote is valid for 14 days. I will hold your date for 14 days, but I will not hold it any longer than that unless you decide to proceed forward. If I have had more inquiries to the same date, and I am still holding that date for someone, I will let you know! Like I said, I am very open with you.

If you would like to meet with me prior to booking and paying your deposit, we will likely meet at a coffee shop. (If we live in different towns/cities that are far away, like Edmonton or Calgary, we can FaceTime or Skype and have a coffee date that way) During our meeting we will discuss everything wedding related and I will give you a "Wedding Questionnaire" (a post about this will follow at some point), this questionnaire covers everything related to a wedding. This will help me determine if there is something you have missed, or have possibly overlooked. I don't want anything missing on your wedding day! We will discuss my contract, your quote, a little about me and a little about you, so we get to know each other. I require a 50% non-refundable deposit on ALL services booked, and this deposit will be applied to your final invoice.

I don't expect you to sign a contract and pay your deposit at our first initial meeting. I expect and encourage everyone to talk it over with their fiance. You are not pressured into signing a contract and booking services through me, you have 14 days. I will follow up with you throughout those 14 days, if you head home with a quote and a contract and would like to think about it, I will follow up by email or with a phone call about 48 hours after our meeting. When you and your fiancĂ© have decided to move forward and book with me, I ask that you return your signed contract as soon as possible, and ask for your 50% non-refundable deposit within 7 days of sending me the contract. Within the same day that I receive your contract, I will print it out, sign it, and send a copy to you for your records. This same day process also applies with all quotes, deposit receipts, invoices, and final receipts for services. I don't like to keep you waiting, and I want you to have a copy of everything for your records.

So, you've sent me a signed contract and have paid your deposit. What now?!?! Your date is now 100% secured. I have only ONE wedding per weekend, this allows me to give you my undivided attention, and not be worried about what may or may not go wrong at another venue. We will work together from the date we have a signed contract to the day after your wedding. Every process is a little different (wedding planning and day of coordination), so I will go into more detail in the next week about that.

I will meet with you approximately 3-4 weeks prior to your wedding and we will start drafting a Day Of Timeline, and an MC Timeline (if required), again this can be done via FaceTime or Skype. I will finalize these timelines with you about 1-2 weeks prior to your wedding, and can get you copies to distribute to anyone in your immediate family or wedding party that should have one. I will distribute them to ANY and ALL vendors that I feel need a timeline!

If you are planning a rehearsal and would like my assistance and guidance at your rehearsal, I will be there! I'll direct everyone to where they should be standing, let them know when they need to start walking down the aisle, and let them know what is expected of them throughout the ceremony! Once we have done 2-3 run throughs, I will make sure you and your fiancĂ© are confident and comfortable with how everything is planned, and I will be on my way. You guys should have a yummy meal and relax the night before your wedding!

**Check in for specific details to the Day Of Coordination process, and Wedding Planning process in the next week**

Fetterly Photography

Erika with Fetterly Photography is my "go to" photographer! She has the passion and the eye to make your wedding photos absolutely spectacular and to capture all of the shots you may not get to see otherwise! I feel that Erika and I share similar views on a wedding day - stress free, fun, and full of family, love and celebration! Erika and I drink in the moments by experiencing the love first hand, while Erika captures the memories through photographs that will last a life time, I make sure everything is running smoothly, and as stress free as possible to ensure you get to really enjoy your wedding day! Erika and I work together as a great pair to ensure you enjoy your wedding day, remember all of the celebrating, congratulations and to spend time with all of your loved ones who have travelled from near and far to celebrate the beginning of a new chapter with you and your significant other!



How long have you been in business?
This is my second year in business. I have always had a passion for photography but finally took classes and started my business! I absolutely LOVE it!

What's your favourite thing about your job?
This may sound funny but I love it when people tell me they hate having their photo taken or they aren't "photogenic". I don't believe in not being photogenic. My absolute favourite things is when my clients get their photos back and they are shocked! That wonderful surprise that someone has when they love the way they look in photos.

What do you enjoy most about working with brides and grooms?
LOVE. Here comes my corny movie line, but I love LOVE. I absolutely adore seeing that genuine, happy love that a couple has on their wedding day and even in their engagement photos! My other favourite things is coming out of "a job" with lifelong friendships, it's an awesome added bonus!

What is the best part about working with preferred vendors?
I would have to say that my favourite part of working with preferred vendors is having vendors for my clients that I KNOW I can trust. I like having a vendor in each field that I can recommend to my Bride and Groom that I know they will be happy with.

What do you have to offer that other vendors in your field don't?
Personality and style. I would love to say passion (which I definitely have) but I think a lot of photographers have passion for what we do, so I have to go with personality and style. I let my personality shine through my website, the way I shoot and my editing style. I like fun, candid, in the moment shots. I like bold and exciting, but still romantic. I always strive for my clients to be able to feel like they are actually re-living that moment again, when they look at their photos!

What got you into this business?
Honestly, my family photographer gave me the inspiration to take the leap, but let me tell you why. I had never had a professional photos done before my engagement photos. I always wanted to get into photography but didn't know if I could do it. Then, I felt the raw emotion a photograph could project. It was eye-opening! I KNEW I just had to be able to let other people feel that amazing feeling! (I've now had professional engagement, wedding, birth, newborn, maternity, boudoir, and family, family, family. hehe)

If you could be an animal, which would you be? And why?
I think I would be a bird. As of right now, I have a severe bird phobia (funny, I know). I think A) It would be amazing to face and overcome that fear and B) I would have the most amazing view of the entire world! There would be nowhere I couldn't see, no vantage point I couldn't reach! How amazing would that be?!

This is Erika!

A Little About Me...

Well, where should I start? Lets start with a little about me, then with the question I get asked the MOST!

^^ This is ME!! ^^

I'm 25 years young, I have a few pets (2 dogs & 1 cat), I'm happily married, and have been for almost 3 years!! He's the love of my life, and I couldn't imagine going through any life adventures with anyone other than my husband. I'm in to healthy living, working out, biking, yard work & landscaping, and various crafts. I've become a little more serious over the last few years, we've hit quite a few bumps in our adventures, and they take a lot out of a person. I've been finding immense happiness helping brides & grooms have a stress free wedding day, and days leading up to their wedding.

I'm a happy person, highly organized, and have various degrees/diplomas. I'm a certified Health Care Assistant, Administrative Assistant, and I am a certified Wedding Planner! One could say that I quite enjoy going to school and learning. I strive to learn new things every day, and to meet new people every day.

I'm originally a BC girl, born and raised in a small town of about 300 people. I loved it there, I loved being close to the lakes, the mountains, and the people that mean so much to me. My husband and I made the decision to move to Alberta almost 5 years ago because there was more for opportunities here. Bigger towns/cities, more jobs in different companies, a new opportunity to make friends, and get into different activities that we couldn't get into where we were living, activities like adult league volleyball. We've also gotten into golf over the last two and a half years, and we CANNOT wait to get out this season and do a LOT of golfing!

Now that you know a little about my life and who I am, it's time to answer that frequently asked question;
What made you decided to be a Wedding Planner?
Well, let me tell you. It was a relatively easy decision, I LOVED planning my own wedding, and I couldn't wait to help others plan theirs, even if I am just there for the day to keep everyone's stress levels as low as possible. I didn't have someone to be my Day Of Coordinator, and I really wish I had. Worrying about all of the small details, and the big details...and every aspect that's related to a wedding, gets to be a little too much.
