Ryan and Joanne's wedding in Claremont, Ontario

The story of our wedding

Our wedding was like a fairytale. We started off Wedding planning kind of behind the ball, we got engaged on July 14th, 2021, and were just enjoying every minute of being engaged with thoughts we only wanted to be engaged for a year and then get married. We knew we wanted to get married in fall 2022. We were uncertain about planning since we heard horror stories of covid delaying so we waited till the end of Jan before we started planning. We were in way over our heads! Contacted so many venues and were feeling so disappointed and then said no way can we do this on our own so after hours searching on the wedding wire for the perfect wedding planners we came across Trade Sensations. The best decision we ever made, we met with them and knew it was the perfect fit and from there everything fell into place. We got married on Sept 17th 2022 at 4 Seasons Country Club and kept it small approximately 60 people of just our close family and friends. Leading up to the wedding on June 30th my mom actually had a stroke and some medical hiccups and ended up staying in the hospital for over 2 months. We weren't certain we would go through with the Wedding because of everything going on with her. It was hard to enjoy the planning process when our minds were so focused with my mom. It was tough but ultimately we decided to go ahead with the wedding and get a live streaming service so she was able to watch. Our wedding day was just perfect, the weather was amazing so we were able to hold our ceremony outside as planned overlooking the valley. Cocktail and reception was outside under the big white tent and looked beautiful. Felt so magical walking down the aisle to the Harp and we ended our night with a beavertail truck and fireworks. Our vision came to reality and was better than we ever expected. Wish we could do it over again!
