Night at the Museum

The couple felt only one place was perfect for their October nuptials, the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) which spoke to their love of museums, art, beauty, architecture and history. The ROM’s circular-shaped rotunda was ideal for creating an intimate vibe among the couple’s 80 guests.

Their Couple Style Was Evident In All the Details: “We envisioned a magical evening where guests were enchanted by fairytale ballerinas, gregarious lion dancers, ethereal flowers, and two people in love.” And all of that came to pass.

The theme was executed flawlessly thanks to stunning floral pieces, live entertainment, music and a mouth-watering menu that featured dry-aged ribeye and Chilean sea bass.

Ballerinas were on-hand to dance during the entrance music and at the end of the ceremony – this time wearing wings to represent their evolution. They “were meant to be symbolic of our transformation from being two singles to becoming a married couple.”

The live entertainment and the displays within the ROM played beautifully off each other making for a unique experience and Insta-worthy real wedding.
