Wedding Quickie! - The Name Says it All with Hire Waiters!

So, regardless of being Canadian and loving to support and feature other Canadians and their businesses, I also just love finding great artisans and wedding services from around the world. One that is not always thought of but can significantly decrease the stress of pulling off an amazing DIY wedding is hiring wait staff to assist with serving food and drinks, setting up a bar service, cocktail bartenders, and cleaning and tidying up after an event.

Hire Waiters is a service that offers just that; based in major cities in Australia (Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane) Hire Waiters provides you with professional service when you need to hire waiters and waitresses for your special event. 

Just imagine how it would feel to not have to worry about which one of your family members or friends is in charge of bringing out more food when needed or clearing a pile of used dishes out of the way from the table settings of your DIY backyard wedding. How great it would feel to not have to think about any of the logistics of food and drinks or cleaning up as the evening goes on and just enjoying the time with family and friends celebrating your special day.

Hire Waiters isn't just for weddings, they offer professional wait staff services for any special event including engagement parties, birthdays, anniversaries, corporate functions, and dinner parties. If this sounds like the perfect addition to your wedding or special event just click on the chosen location and fill out the form to get a free, no-obligation quote for the service you need!

 Now, just sit back and relax... it will all be taken care of!

Wedding Quickie! - The Sweet Sentiment of a Rowing Oar at Your DIY Wedding

Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, working together is success.
-Henry Ford

Incorporating rowing oars as a part of your wedding day can be symbolic of the strength and teamwork required to build a marriage and make it last. Sometimes rough waters can take a toll on a marriage, but if you persevere and work together you can paddle your way ashore onto solid ground. Many couples are bringing in the sweet sentiment of oars to their wedding and here are some ideas of how you can too!

At Custom Oars you can order oars for your wedding with custom colours to match your chosen wedding colours, personalized font and messages. What I love most about using custom oars as wedding decor is that you can then use an oar as your guest signature keepsake rather than a guestbook and put it on display in your home! How perfect would this be with the names of the bride and groom along with the wedding date. 

Custom Oars currently offers shipping in the U.S and they are based in the Northeast (Stamford, CT). If you would like to learn more and make arrangements to create a custom oar you can click on the link above and send a message with your request.

Take a peek at some other ways to incorporate the sentiment of rowing oars at your wedding... For more details about each, you can click on the images below.
