Recommended Vendors
Planning a wedding can be overwhelming with so many choices all around us. Having done countless weddings over the years I have worked along side many very talented vendors. I have decided to create this page to showcase some of my favorite vendors. I try to keep this page up to date as much as I can, keeping the vendors who's work I fell in love with and would or have already hired myself. I hope you find this page helpful.
Wedding Planner
by Brittany Klapwijk
I’ve been surprised countless of times by Brittany with how well she managed many situations and how helpful she has been for couples which is why I feel so confident recommending her. There are so many little things that come into play to make this big day happen that putting it all on your shoulders often gets couples very stressed on their wedding day. I often tell couples to anticipate that some things may not go as planned and to just try to enjoy the day as it is. After all it’s a big day, with multiple vendors involved and a lot of guests coming. Most of those things that may not go as planned only you will know about, however, do you really want to deal with all the little things that don’t go as planned ? Needless to say, it is much easier said “keep calm and enjoy” than done. This is where wedding planners often come to the rescue. If you have a lot of family members who might be of help or you have an easy going attitude about the day then you might just do great! :D If you’re someone like me who feels bad inconveniencing friend and family and wants them more present on the day of the wedding then you might want to look into having some outside help.
I’ve seen countless of times when Wedding Planners have “saved the day” sort of speak. Every time I’ve worked with Brittany she’s been on the go 24/7 making sure this day is as perfect as can be for couples.

Beauty Decor / Backdrop Decor Rentals
I have worked with many different backdrops for weddings and other events but this decor vendor beat them all. One of the backdrops I love shooting in front of shines and glitters in all the different ways giving it an amazing party vibe. Not to mention that they do such a beautiful job decorating it with all the balloons. Yet, the best part is where they added lights and fans on the bottom making the wall change it's color from blue, to purple, to green and red. Every shot taken looks so unique. I absolutely loved it!
​
Full set goes for around $500. Includes shimmer wall, balloons and decor any color, neon signs, deliver/setup/take down, 2 floor fans and lights. I highly recommend this talented decor vendor.

Tess Anderson
Singer / Piano / Guitar
Hands down, one of the best vendors to book for your wedding! I've photographed countless weddings over the years and seen many couples spend a fortune on a band or a famous singer but no one captured hearts of the guests like Tess. The guests rave about her the entire wedding. The bride herself said many times that she feels like she hired a Hollywood Star. And of course, I had to hire her for my own wedding back in 2022. Whether you'd like Tess to be part of your ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner gathering or all of it she will capture your guests hearts like no one else. Tess can sign hundreds of the most popular and beautiful songs that you will want to dance or sign along to. You can listen to some of her music on her site. Contact info also below...

Jeff Toledo
Videographer
I've worked with many videographers throughout the years but I find it's rare to find a talent like Jeff's. He really is a true artist. His work is beautiful and timeless. I've seen many of his videos and every time have been very impressed which is why I continue to recommend him to couples. He is busy so if you're hoping to get the job done quick he may not be the person for you but when it comes to getting it done beautifully so that you can have the best memory ever of your beautiful day, he has never disappointed anyone I have recommended him to.
You can contact him through his site at: perspectivestudiosca.com
Tim Wray
Videographer
I find Tim's videos especially stand out as he loves using voice over. For instance, he loves using recordings of special things you might have said about each other, or things people say during speeches and use the funniest or most touching parts throughout the video with light music in the background and some beautiful captures of the couple.
You can see some of his videos as well as prices and contact info on the following page: https://wraymedia.ca/
JM Brown
DJ & MC
This must be one of the best DJ and MC services we have yet experienced at any wedding. JM is upbeat and energetic and he will get your guests dancing and involved. If you're looking to have your guests remember your event like no other, then JM at iDJ Services will be a perfect fit for you.

Neetu Sahota
Makeup-Hair-Styling
778.9954777
Neetu is another one of my favorites. She does beautiful work and she's so good that she even teaches. I love how she's able to pull out scissors and quickly trim the hair if necessary to create that perfect look which can make a huge difference in the bridal hair styling. She's easy to work with and if you find yourself missing something chances are she has it in her bag LOL.
