The Wedluxe Wedding Show Part 1

Hi everyone!

We’re here live at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in downtown Toronto ready for the 1st annual Wedluxe Wedding Show!

We arrived at 9:00 am and even before going in you can already feel the excitement buzzing from inside the hotel.

For its inaugural year, the Wedluxe Show is held on the 2nd and 4th floors of the hotel. Registration is on the 2nd floor. Right outside the elevators, attendants are diligently awaiting to assist attendees with their registration, gift bags, map, and ballots for prizes, to be held every half hour. Sorry for the bad photo, it was pretty dark.

You will find the grand entrance very intricately made like a white draped artificial tunnel with rose petals hanging down. The entire feel is to make you think you’ve walked into another world, and you have. It’s the world of luxury weddings!

Once you walk into the 2nd floor there are booths on the hallway outside, with the bulk of the exhibitors inside the hall.

I caught a glimpse of a model walking around in a wedding dress and was able to capture a quick shot of her before she was whisked away.

Good news for attendees who haven’t had a bite before coming, the Ritz-Carlton has free hors d’ouerves, even mini-burgers!

And don’t forget the drinks!

And for those who want to a relaxer, sit down for complementary tea at a Kate Spade inspired tea-room. A caution though, there may be a huge line-up!

On the 4th floor there are men and women’s lounges for some downtime. The photo below is the men’s lounge.

The women’s lounge is a little more hectic…there’s tons to do in here including trial makeup and more snacks.

There’s also some bridal gown displays alongside the outer 4th floor for some gown ideas.

Finally, I took this quick snap of the Wedluxe booth. Naturally, it was the most extravagant booth at the Show. Kudos to the team and their efforts.

POV: you’re supposed to be enjoying teamLab Planets… but your event planner brain won’t switch off. 😂

The projections. The music. The scent. The movement. The way every room makes you feel something.

I went for the experience and left thinking about the future of weddings and events.

Because what if the next big event trend isn’t more décor… but creating a world your guests can actually step into? 👀✨

Are immersive projections about to have their moment in events?

Wedding planner content: lighting candles, fixing menus and casually walking around looking put together. ✨

The reality? That’s probably 10% of the job. 😂

The other 90% is happening behind the scenes — nonstop texts and phone calls, weather decisions, last-minute changes, communicating with vendors before they arrive, adjusting timelines and solving things before our couples ever know there was a problem.

Those moments are rarely captured because… well, we’re usually too busy doing them.

So shoutout to Garbo for catching some of the real action at Amy & Brian’s wedding. 🤍

This is what wedding planning actually looks like.

A day in the life of a wedding planner ✨ Amy & Brian’s wedding day edition.

We went back and forth on the rain plan more times than I’d like to admit 🌧️☀️ — but in the end, the weather gave us the most beautiful golden hour, followed by fireworks to close out the night. 🎆

One of my favourite parts of this wedding was bringing a full Chinese catering experience into a venue that doesn’t host this style of service often. It takes a lot of coordination behind the scenes — between the venue, caterer, kitchen, rentals and our planning team — to make everything flow seamlessly.

And this is exactly the kind of challenge I love. When everyone comes together with professionalism, flexibility and a shared goal of creating the best experience for the couple and their guests, magic happens.

Congratulations Amy & Brian! ❤️

People often ask what I notice first when I arrive at a venue.
It isn’t the flowers.
Or the view.
It’s how every piece comes together to create a feeling.

Before every destination wedding, I always thinking about:
• How guests will experience the ceremony
• Where the light falls
• The flow of the space
• The details no one notices—until they’re missing

This is what a wedding looks like through a planner’s eyes.

Save this if you love seeing what happens before the celebration begins.
