I have worked with many amazing vendors and service providers. Here are some of the great people I recommend.
Wedding Planning & Decor Suppliers and rentals:
http://www.beautybride.ca/ : Eva and her team are sought after for a reason, and the reason is RESULTS! Eva is meticulous and plans your event as if it were her own, this practice along with her stellar communication skills allows her to take your vision and make it a reality.
https://www.decoratevictoria.com/ : Sandy and Ian have been in the events and wedding game so long there is not a scenario they haven’t seen. From their spacious rentals showroom and warehouse to their ability to create the most amazing balloon fixtures if you need to dress up your venue or have a vision of what you want to see Sandy will make it happen.
When I arrive on the scene and I see any of the above mentioned planners or their teams on site I know my job is going to be that much easier, and that I have a point of contact onsite that cares about your day being a homerun as I do!!!
Photographers:
https://www.jenkinsphotography.ca/ : Brady is a magician behind the lens of a camera! A fun loving hipster type who will actually blend in at your wedding as he engages with guests and bust out dance moves only attempted by Elaine Benes….make sure and peep his portfolio as you look for a photographer for your important day.
https://photosbytash.com/ : Tash is amazing at what she does and is a pleasure to work with throughout the day, and if you are going to have someone bossing you about for 10 hours wouldn’t you want it to be by someone talented and nice 😉 Check her portfolio and see if her style works for your vision.
https://www.nicoledurkanphotography.com/ : Nikki is a lot of fun……….but deadly serious when it comes to producing an awe inspiring reaction to the finished product. Check out her page and see if she could be the missing piece for making your memories timeless.
https://www.coastlinelivingphotography.com/ : Laura actually is a Jill of all trades !!! She is a photographer but also does videography and now is an officiant!!! Talk about “One Stop Shopping” , check her out for sure!!!
Catering:
https://www.foodforthoughtcatering.net/ : As this subject is near and dear to my heart ….. I eat alot of wedding food OK!!! lol I can honestly say in the 100+ meals I have had from Food For Thought none were not amazing. I call them the king of sauces and desserts as even a simple BBQ sauce or gravy from them is excellent and their desserts are what I assume Heaven would taste like.
Photo Booth:
https://www.mrboothvictoria.com/ : Greg is always innovative and cutting edge and willing to go the extra mile for his clients, from a one of a king backdrop to having the best selection of trendy props MR BOOTH always delivers keepsakes and memorable moments at your special day.
Karaoke Rentals and Service:
https://www.doitall.ca/ : Karaoke is a real tough egg to crack, the host can either get people up and at it, or its crickets…..Drew gets them all up by engaging them in the laughter and silliness of the moment. If it makes sense to say… “He takes the edge off” the guests and they can let loose, make some bad decisions and destroy classic songs or make other guests wish they sang it originally.
Florals (and amazing service):
https://www.jenningsflorists.com/ : Rob is the man!!! Years and years mastering his trade is evident in the way that as you walk into a venue and see the arrangements you can generally tell Jennings Craftsmanship within seconds. Above and beyond the skill set, Rob is a pleasure to work with and has a history in Greater Victoria as being just plane AWESOME!!!
DJs & Sound Specialists… If I am unavailable of course
DJ Clinton
Clinton is one of Vancouver Island’s most talented DJs without a doubt. With many years DJ’ing in clubs in Greater Victoria, DJing events with Celebrities as the opener, there isn’t much he hasn’t done. The best thing about Clinton’s talents is he is an awesome all around guy, and in this industry that is important because if there is something someone at your event forgot to do…..Clinton is the type to step up and add that to his list of things no questions asked. It is always a pleasure for me to hear how happy brides are with the service , and they often shoot me a message thanking me for referring them to Clinton. That says enough about the guy. AND….. if you crave that DJ that will mix club style at your wedding…there isn’t anyone better this side of Guetta, Skrillex or Tiesto!!! (Man I made his expectations high didn’t I?)
DJ Glenn Lewis
A life long music aficionado, besides being a stellar DJ Glenn plays and studies multiple instruments. Away from the wedding scene, Glenn is a department manager at Long and McQuade, where of all things……..HE’S IN CHARGE OF DJ AND EVENT RENTALS!!! What this means is no matter what need/want your heart desires for your big day (mic for officiant, multiple wireless mic, certain lighting or effects) Glenn can make sure you have it covered!!! Glenn has amazing customer service skills and follows up with clients, assuring no one is ever left high and dry. Clinton and Glenn are always the DJs I refer my overflow clients to as I know they are in excellent hands and are going to call me after their event and say “Thank you PTK, that guy you sent me to was awesome!!!”
