Bakery:

Three Tarts Bakery

"We went with a non-traditional chocolate mousse cake and it was delicious. We enjoyed trying out their different cakes leading up to the wedding to make sure we picked the one we both liked best! We also ordered it too big so we could take home leftovers. Yum."

Caterer:

Thyme And Again Creative Catering And Take Home Food Inc

"Thyme and Again is expensive and worth *every* penny! Highly professional and organized both before and during the event. They took care of everything (even when not enough plates were delivered from the rental agency) and received rave reviews from our guests. My mom said "I've never been treated so well at a wedding!" And the food was absolutely fantastic - they can accomodate almost everything. Highly, highly recommended."

Photographer:

Layton Reid Photography

"We are extremely happy with our pictures! Layton calls himself a "documentary wedding photographer" and we loved the emphasis on candid shots. He lives in Halifax now but if you like his work it might be cheaper to fly him in than to pay the going rate for a full day of coverage. Really."

Rentals:

Edelweiss Party Rentals

"Friendly, knowledgable, and by far the least expensive place we were able to find. We saved hundreds of dollars by going with this company. They do not have a website and will send you invoices by mail not email but their prices and the friendly service are worth it!"

Ceremony and Reception:

Ottawa Rowing Club

"This is a simple, "low tech" (i.e. no heating or air conditioning) venue in a beautiful location. The staff were hard to get ahold of at times but they were friendly, professional, and fantastic in person. Check the "Boathouse" section of their website for info on renting. We were going to have the ceremony outside next to the river but since it rained we had it inside and it was beautiful and perfect."
