Xin Chuc Mung!!

How is it possible to know how your life will be impacted by meeting two strangers? Thanh and I communicated via email and by phone until shortly before her wedding.

What a great couple with whom to kick off the New Year! Working with Leah and getting to know her family was a blessing and a joy… From the first moment I met her, I knew January 11 was going to be a beautiful day and memorable wedding. And, simply put, it was exactly that! […]

The Year of the Horse…

Is it possible that this time last year, I was launching my own company, Make It Happen!? I can’t believe that a year passed so very quickly!

Caroline, Michael and Ella Make Three…

Well, at least that’s the way it is for now! When Caroline contacted me about working with her to plan a wedding party, she had found out only months prior that she was pregnant. She and Michael had eloped in May to Vancouver, so they were planning a celebration in September for their close friends […]

Does Speed Dating Really Work??

Upon first meeting Anabelle and Shawn, I knew that their wedding day would be special! They have such a comfort level with each other and a sense of joy along with constant laughter. They just work… When they told me that they had met “Indian speed dating” one evening (at the suggestion of Shawn’s father […]
