CHAPEL RECAP: MAY 26, 2023
On May 26, we saw 3 couples take some adorable engagement photos, 2 couples tie the knot and 1 couple renew their vows! AND we did it all in under 8 hours at the stylish Parkdale Hall.
It was our first Toronto Chapel of the season so you know we had to pull out the disco balls. The PUC team put together a decor plan made up of moody neutrals and mirror balls - an unlikely but iconic duo. Snowberry Botanicals provided a stunning combo of dried and fresh florals to compliment and freshen up the art deco space, and bring our funky vision to life.
When guests first entered the grand ballroom space, they were greeted with the loving tunes provided by Next Level Entertainment. NLE kept the vibe alive throughout each ceremony.
The always lovely Leonard Nolasco did the important job of officiating our couples in their union. Without Leonard there truly would have been no marriages… literally!
After saying ‘I do’, the couples received a glass of Fresh Wines sparkling rose for a one on one toast, before we invited all the other guests to join us at the bar and get the party going. They enjoyed a variety of flavours of Shiny Apple Cider and Darling Mimosa, as well as more Fresh Wines, and some good old Steam Whistle Pilsner. Our non-alcoholic guests enjoyed their choice of Gruvi zero proof sparkling and Juicy IPA.
But we can’t forget the snacks! Courage Cookies provided a mix of their unforgettable confections and Purplesful Snacking brought in the popcorn - always a hit with the little ones!
Big thanks go to our photographers for capturing the special moments for our guests. Rita Kravchuk Photography took on the two weddings, while Alicia Thurston Photography documented the engagements and vow renewal. Rita & Alicia made it all look even better than we remembered it!
If you or someone you know is thinking about doing an engagement shoot or a vow renewal, remember the Pop-Up Chapel does more than just weddings!
