"When it comes to planning a wedding, there are a great many details that need to be addressed. I know it can be frightening when trying to find reputable, reliable service providers if you've had no experience in these fields before. Therefore, I have created this list of Niagara's most professional bridal related vendors that are a joy to work with. I know you can trust them to make your wedding the day of your dreams!"

Sincerely,

Criveller Cakes
It is a sober truth that people remember three things most from a wedding: how the bride looks, how the music sounds and whether the cake was good. Therefore, choosing the right wedding cake baker is crucial to the success of your day. You need to have complete confidence that what you order is what you're going to get! Therefore, it is an honour for me to recommend that my brides trust Criveller Cakes for their fabulous cake designs, dessert tables, and favours. Foremost in fantastic flavors and unbelievable one-of-a-kind cakes, the bakers at Criveller Cakes are known to be the best in the Niagara Region.


Edible Arrangements
Surely all of us have had the uncomparable pleasure of enjoying chocolate covered fruit. For me it is truly a favourite to imagine the luscious taste combinations of chocolate and strawberries or chocolate and pineapple. I can almost taste their mouth watering aromas and flavours now. Therefore, I was completely delighted when Edible Arrangements took sliced fruit to a whole new level. I would highly recommend their absolutely delicious colourful bouquets as table centre pieces that are perfect for any social occasion. And why not treat your guests to amazing fruit favours as a special thank you to them for sharing your day. Afterall, love is indulgence. So indulge!

Elegantly Enchanting Invitations
It used to be that wedding invitations were pretty traditional in their colour and appearance. There really weren't options available for a modern wedding couple to express their own creativity. Thankfully times have changed! When it comes to choosing wedding invitations today, you can choose from exciting colours, styles, sizes and themes to reflect your wedding day.

When choice is limitless, it's truly important for Marilee's brides to be able to trust the guidance of wedding professionals in every aspect of planning their wedding day to avoid disappointments along the way. When it comes to personalized wedding invitations, I am so pleased to be able to recommend Elegantly Enchanting Invitations to my brides. They can rest assured that they will receive the best guidance possible in designing perfect wedding invitations that are not only elegant and enchanting but also uniquely theirs!

Gotcha Covered
Gotcha Covered chair covers and linen rentals is the most recognized source in the Niagara Peninsula for chair covers, table linens, napkins, and much more. The thoughtful choice of quality linens can be the most cost effective way of turning a special occasion from "average" to "amazing". Your reception rooms will ooze style and sophistication that your guests won't forget. Therefore it is my personal pleasure to recommend that my brides visit Gotcha Covered where their professional design team and their amazing inventory selection will make it easy for you to customize your linens to suit the colour and theme of your choice. Gotcha Covered makes every event "extraordinary"!

Hair Hunters
From stunning makeup and beautiful nails to glowing skin and picture-perfect hair, Vince and his professional team at Hair Hunters is waiting to provide everything you need to be gorgeous on your wedding day. After 30 years experience in hair styling and services, Hair Hunters has developed a solid reputation for being superb stylists with strong values of integrity, honesty, and creativity. Offering services for the groom and the entire bridal party, I am happy to recommend that Marilee's brides trust Hair Hunters to help make their wedding day even more memorable. Don't ever underestimate the power of beautiful hair and esthetics on your wedding day!

Lessard Coutu

Custom Jewellers
Everyone loves jewelry, and nothing is more special than to have a piece that is custom made. Anything that your mind can think and imagine can be done for you! Watch your ideas come alive as Maurice Coutu, a master of jewellery design, reveals your thoughts on a computer screen. You will enjoy his friendly disposition as he shares his expertise in helping you to select diamonds and gems that are affordable to you. From your design concept, Marianne Lessard Coutu, Designer and Goldsmith, will make the hand carved wax model and then the mold on site. After the precious metal has been poured it will later be assembled and polished by Goldsmith, Marci Lessard. Then your chosen gems will be meticulously set and your one-of-a-kind design becomes a reality for you to treasure for the rest of your life. I would be so disappointed if a Marilee's bride thought that she had to settle for mediocre, when she has the choice to trust the amazing combined talents of the professional team at Lessard Coutu for custom made jewellery that says "I love you" better than any other gift.

Rockway Glen Winery
Someone popped the question, someone else said yes. An engagement ring was given, the bridal gown was chosen, a minister was decided on, now the only thing left to choose is the perfect wedding venue. I am delighted to recommend Rockway Glen Golf Course and Estate Winery as the perfect venue for up to 200 guests. Situated at the foot of the Niagara Escarpment, it is a premier destination of its own.

Overlooking sprawling vineyards and a natural rolling landscaped golf course, your guests will think they're in heaven when seated in the banquet room on your wedding day. A pleasing relaxed ambience, delicious food and heavenly views all year round make this site hard to resist. It's your choice to enjoy your wedding service on site, inside or out, or just come to enjoy the reception of your dreams. You won't be disappointed with the friendly service and attention to detail offered at Rockway Glen.

Spirit of Sound

Disc Jockey
When booking the entertainment for your wedding reception, choosing the right disc jockey is one of the most important decisions you will need to make. Therefore, the most important occasion of your life should be left in the hands of skilled professionals. A professional DJ should have the ability to both entertain and captivate the audience through their choice of music selection and microphone presence. For this reason, I am happy to recommend that my brides call Joe at Spirit of Sound Entertainment. Joe, along with his team of professional DJs will work hand in hand with you to ensure that your wedding reception is a guaranteed success. When choosing Spirit of Sound, the choice is easy because they are "simply the best".

Sweet Serenity Spa
Taking time to replace worldly concerns with a world of relaxation is no longer just for the rich and famous! All women need to escape to a place of Serenity where we can achieve solace and healing, a place of refuge from the everyday world. It gives me pleasure to recommend Sweet Serenity as a most special place for Marilee's clients to restore themselves spiritually and esthetically. Amie Praskey, owner of Sweet Serenity offers you a calm, private place like no other. A place for you to rest your weary body as you give it over to her professionally trained hands. You'll relax in the true privacy of her own home as she spoils you with all of your esthethic needs. From pedicures to manicures, waxing and sugaring, facials and make-up, you'll leave her place feeling like a new woman. And the best part of feeling good, is looking good too!

Vanessa Balenovich
In the end, like most things in life, the calibre of the photographer you choose will make all the difference to your wedding remembrances. On that note, I am absolutely delighted to be able to recommend Vanessa Balenovich Photography to my brides. Vanessa's creative imagination speaks for itself when you enter her website and see her work. Her photos include many Marilee's brides who commissioned with Vanessa for their wedding day. These brides treasure her amazing talents and her wonderful stress-free demeanor which contributed to their photo sessions as being such an enjoyable relaxing part of the day. Remember the food and music is for your friends and family, but the pictures are for you!

Vine Floral
Shopping for your wedding florals should be as hassle free as shopping for your bridal gown. It just depends on where you go! For more than 50 years brides have had wonderful experiences when trusting their wedding preparations to Vine Floral. In the last few years, the variety of flowers and organics and their colours have evolved to such an extent so that there is so much more choice available. Marilee's brides love choices, and they need to be able to depend on floral specialists who can help them make their ideas affordable. Therefore, I highly recommend Vine Floral as the florist of choice in the Niagara Peninsula.
