Nicole & Rob’s Waldorf Hotel Wedding

Vancouver has been rocked today by news of the Waldorf closing – to be torn down for a condo development no less – and while I’m still in shock over the loss of such an incredible venue I’m going to try to remember all the great events we’ve been to there over the last few years. From conferences to art shows, live music, a wedding, a stagette, and even a wake… not to mention all the great dinners with friends at Nuba (ask us about the time Reilly and a friend tried to order a burger to share for dessert…) and nights spent dancing into the wee hours… Vancouver is losing something great.

On that sad note, this blog post is all about one of my favourite – and very happy – Waldorf events, Nicole & Rob’s Wedding!

I think I tripped over myself to reply to Nicole when she first got in touch, we are so fond of the Waldorf and quickly became equally as fond of these two. The skies parted and the sun came out on a chilly day in late October when they were surrounded by their closest family and friends for delicious food, Polynesian dancers, and good times!

Shouts go out to Bisou Bridal for the smoking dress worn by the Bride and Pinup Girl Clothing for that of her maid of honour, Fairy Cakes for the sweets, Flower Factory, the Chop Shop, and all the incredible folks at the Waldorf for the food and for keeping things running smoothly.

Here are a few of our favourites from their day!

Alanna & Ben’s UBC Boathouse Wedding Reception

And for part two of Alanna & Ben’s wedding – the UBC Boathouse Reception!

There’s always so much I could focus on when I pick photos to blog – in this case, the awesome flowers (by Flower Factory) and decor (love the pink accents and colour everywhere!), the memphis style BBQ cooked on-site and served up with bibs and wet wipes for fingers courtesy of Memphis Mike, or our friends at Photobooth Vancouver (for the photobooth, of course!) and Lotus Events for awesome coordination to bring it all together. I could talk about how Shari joined us on the Blue Olive side, and I could even get into the fact that we are SUPER ECSTATIC that she’s an official Olive for the upcoming season so you’ll all be seeing a lot of her stuff. While I COULD talk about any of those things, I always go back to the same thing – we’re there for the people. And the moments. And the smiles, and the laughter, and the tears, so the rest of it is secondary.

So – with that – I bring you just a few of the happy, celebrating people that made up this reception. Regardless of how amazing the room looks and how much goes into the flowers and favors and chair covers and whatever… while we capture all of that too, we’re there to freeze the laughter and joy of happy celebration for years to come, so that’s what I’m sharing today. Cheers to you all!
