Yesterday's wedding was a match made in heaven. Myriam and Louis are one of the sweetest couples I have ever met and I wish them a lifetime of health and happiness. Many thanks to Dave Murphy Band for keeping the guests dancing all night long, The Toronto Florist Shop for the gorgeous decor, Catered Trendz and the YMG for beautiful venue and Selina Whittaker Photography. We can't forget the yummy donuts from Crazy dough.
Warning post with no make up lol!! I LOVE MAKE UP but today I am posting a picture of myself with no make up to show the amazing transformation. I would like to introduce you to my very talented sister-in-law Ashley Botting, make up artist extraordinaire. I literally felt like a movie star when she finished my make up and I think she made me look 10 years younger. Thank you Ashley Botting for making me feel like a million bucks. If you are interested in hiring Ashley for your next event please reach out to her abotting@hotmail.com.

Amazing! You look stunning and always beautiful.

Beautiful!!!
A perfect wedding for a perfect couple. Many thanks to Chateau Le Parc, Toronto Florist Shop, Soular Band, Cliq Creative and Ely’s Fine Foods they all did an outstanding job last night.
When clients take the time to thank you in their speech. Feeling grateful 🙏🏼. ❤️. #batmitzvhaplanner #eventplannertoronto #lovemyclients #lovemyjob
My clients always ask me can I recommend any songs for the father/daughter, mother/son dance. I don't know if it's just me but every time I hear this song I think it would be perfect for a father/daughter or mother/son dance. I am a huge Michael Buble fan and this song definitely makes you think about your children and how they grow up so fast. I absolutely love it!!! If you haven't listened to it yet, then bring out the kleenex boxes as you are going to need it. Enjoy!!!!

Looks like an amazing party.
As I reflect upon the last 24 years in this business, I realize that every family, and every client has a story. As a wedding and party planner I am privy to some of the most intimate parts of people lives and their stories. So, today I decided to start to share some of these amazing memories and ONE crazy story. Pictured here is a bride from 12 years ago, a bride that I was fortunate enough to be hired to help plan her wedding. Now, here comes the funny part, 12 years later this beautiful bride is now my son's Grade 5 teacher. So, on the first day of school as she is checking her attendance she sees the name "Temes" and quickly asks my son, is your mom by chance Tamara Temes? Of course, he replies "yes, that's my mom." Then the teacher says "your mom planned my wedding." What a small world.
So, what I can take away from this story is, one never knows who will cross your path again, in this case it was a fortunate turn of events for both me and my son.

We probably will experience many momentous events in our life but one of the biggest that we will have to remember is our wedding day. More than likely, you have prepared for months if not years for t...I am very I interested to find out how many of you ladies have kept the same engagement ring that your husband proposed to you with? I was married just about 24 years ago and the styles of engagement rings have certainly changed a lot over the years. I had a very beautiful but chunky yellow gold engagement ring. So, I decided for one of my milestone birthdays I wanted to update my engagement ring. I modernized my ring and custom designed it with an amazing and very talented jewelry designer and I am now absolutely in love with it. I also had the chance to incorporate some diamonds that were passed down from my maternal grandmother, which makes the ring now even that much more special. I would love to hear your stories.
(Photo is not my personal ring but it is stunning!!!)
Comment on Facebook I am very I ...
After a cleaning lady stole the original (that was simple & I loved) I decided to redesign the new one. Love this one too.
Same rings! 20 years this June. Loved them then..., still love them!
22 years, as you may recall...since your were there... same one. Gold band that fits within a gold ring with a solitary diamond. it reminds me each day of where we were and where we have grown to. i will never change it. i have 9 other fingers for other rings i may one day inherit.
Well I have a replacement ring because mine was stolen in a break-in a couple of weeks ago.
Same rings hubby and I have been together for 14 years, married for 8. (We waited 5 years, 2 kids later before we tied the knot)then had another baby.
Same but married 13 years "only" . Your ring is stunning!!!
God bless my hubby, when I asked to change my ring setting after 20 yrs which he had custom designed and made with all the love in his heart, he told me.....will you please wait till I’m dead 😂 😂 😂 some men hang on the the past!
Married almost 16 years. Same ring. But FYI - yellow gold is back in style. Both my daughters received stunning yellow gold engagement rings.
We all know wedding season is just around the corner and I am seriously in love with this new trend for 2019 of hanging florals. I can’t think of anything more romantic or magical.
Had so much fun checking out all of the great vendors at Tradeshow Noir today.
Thanks so much to Jesse Lash from the Electric Love Bake Shop for bringing me these delicious samples of his kosher nut and sesame free parve baked goods. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed these treats!!!!
What a wonderful and warm wedding, a huge Mazel Tov to Yael and Ian and their families!!!! Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day.
The word that comes to mind for last night’s celebration of Noa’s bat mitzvah was exceptional. These exceptional vendors made the night a HUGE success!!!! The decor by Rock Paper Events was outstanding, The Ritz Carlton food and staff were amazing, Magen Boys brought over the top talent and audio visual to take this party over the edge. Also, thanks to Ikonica, Christos and Double Chocolate for the yummy dessert stations. Mazel Tov Noa and family xoxo!!!
We had a blast at Shelli’s boat bat mitzvah. This all white party with an “under the sea” was so unique and fun. Thanks to Mariposa Cruises, Morgan and the Magen Boys Team, E&B event decor, Jonathan Lewis and Natalie Lewis from Jonathan Productions, Eric Benchimol and Photo Booths Plus, Umami Sushi, Elys Fine Foods for an amazing night.

Thanks to the many vendors who helped to make the night a huge success.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle weren’t the only ones having a celebration fit for the Royals.

I can’t thank them enough for having me be a part of this wonderful simcha. Also many thanks to Toben Foods, for their superb catering, Scott and Julian and The Sentimentalists and Photo Booths Plus for their incredible entertainment, and The Toronto Florist Shop for the beautiful flowers.
