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!

I have been MIA for a couple months as life with a toddler is so unpredictable; however, a midst the sleepless nights and toddler meltdowns I have been keeping an eye on the latest wedding trends as wedding planning is a fantasy passion of mine. When I think about this DIY wedding trend I am taken back to 2009 when my brother got married!

Pair that with sparklers and they created a whimsical and carefree feel.

Want your guests to say... "That Was Epic!" Do it with Glow Sticks!

I was at my first wedding that involved using glow sticks as a wedding reception accessory to encourage guests to get creative and have fun as the evening went on and the lights went dim. After having this experience I decided to check out other glow stick wedding trends and I came across a whole bunch of ideas to make your wedding epic! Some brides and grooms-to-be are drawn to glow sticks when they are planning their bachelorette and bachelor parties because lets face it, when you are celebrating with your closest friends, having some drinks, and letting loose glow sticks just ramp up the party a few more notches with their bright colours and multitude of options when it comes to wearing them. I found a website that is dedicated solely to glow sticks and light accessories making the possibilities endless for your pre-wedding celebrations and of course wedding reception fun. glowuniverse.com has the best bulk prices I have seen for glow sticks, way cheaper than the Dollarstore and Michael's where people tend to think of going when purchasing party supplies. I can't get over the unbelievable selection glowuniverse.com has which includes:

Glow Bracelets
Glow Necklaces
Glow Sticks
Glow Accessories
Flashing Jewelry
Flashing Barware & Decor
LED Flashing Party Supplies
LED Flashing Light Sticks

Sometimes people shy away from shopping online because of the shipping price but with glowuniverse.com shipping is always free for orders over $30! There are so many creative ways brides and grooms are using glow sticks at their wedding and if you are looking for a few ideas check out Pinterest.

Cheese!! Photo Booth Snapshots at Your Wedding Reception

Photo booths are one of the hottest reception additions for weddings lately and guests love them! My sister-in-law was at a wedding recently and had so much fun with her friends and family dressing up for an epic photo booth shot.

Wedding photo booths are popping up everywhere so here are a few I would like to feature to get your reception planning started!

United Kingdom

If you are in the Lincolnshire, England area (servicing the Grimsby, Cleethorpes, Louth, Scunthorpe, Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire areas) check out Photo Booth Studio. They are a professional photo studio which they hire out for weddings and events much like the trending photo booths. Unlike some photo booths they provide a full studio with photographer included, and all the guests get to pick a background they want to be on.  Photo Booth Studio also includes 6x4 photos instead of the photo booth strip because they strive for quality. They also have prop boxes to assist you in creating an epic photo and the bride and groom receive all the photo's from the evening on a memory stick to keep with their wedding keepsakes. Click on the images for additional information!

Photo Booth Studio provides diversity, creativity, and style that is visible in each and every one of their photographs. You and your guests will have fun creating memories and Photo Booth Studio will help create a wedding reception your guests will not forget.

Photo booths are also great because you can use the photos and photo-strips as wedding favours for your guests instead of spending more money on something your guests will eat before dinner or toss in the garbage when they get home. Any guest would be proud to slap one of these photos front and center on their refrigerator!!
