CHAPEL RECAP: JULY 15-17, 2021
24 Couples Marry in Style at Toronto’s Globe and Mail Centre
On July 15th, 16th, and 17th, we transformed the ceremony space at The Globe and Mail Centre into a cozy, vintage-inspired celebration to marry 24 beautiful couples in style!
The decor for our ceremony space was filled with beautiful dried flowers in a neutral colour scheme of cream, beige black, and touches of burgundy. To bring it all together, we used vintage-inspired rugs of varying sizes to line the aisle. And for the WOW factor? Each couple said their I do’s in front of The Globe and Mail Centre’s floor-to-ceiling windows, which look out onto the Toronto city skyline. With such an incredible venue, our job was easy - we wanted a design that highlighted the space and made it feel chic and cozy.
Post-ceremony, guests were ushered into a cocktail hour where everyone could share a celebratory toast. The cocktail hour wouldn’t be complete without a toast to the newlyweds with their choice of wine from Lakeview Wines, beer from Steam Whistle Brewery, Social Lites, Viveau, and Gruvi. Guests enjoyed Kernels Popcorn, or if they were in the mood for something sweet, each table also featured a basket filled with delicious freshly baked cookies courtesy of Courage Cookies.
This Chapel raised $7200 in support of Save Our Scruff, Afri-Can Food Basket, and One Tree Planted. Save Our Scruff is a non-profit organization located in Toronto dedicated to rescuing dogs from unfortunate situations and finding them safe and suitable permanent homes through adoption, advocacy and education. Afri-Can FoodBasket is a community-based non-profit organization that has been at the forefront of championing Food Justice and Food Sovereignty for Toronto’s African, Caribbean, Black (ACB) community since 1995. Their mission is to provide leadership in urban agriculture and foster collaboration to advance food justice, health and social enterprise in the African Canadian Community. One Tree Planted is a non-profit organization focused on global reforestation.
