Goldie and Lyle wanted their day to be a romantic celebration of love to be shared with very close family and friends.  Their key elements of the wedding were good food and drinks & the wedding décor! These two were absolutely cute and could not be more perfect together. Lyle is a caring gentleman while Goldie is such a loving bride. They were absolutely amazing to work with. They bride wore a tradition outfit, the Sari. It had so much details on it, that she looked AMAZING in it! They were all smiles on their wedding day.

Goldie and Lyle opted to work with our Wedding in a Box package that we customized to ensure it fit the wedding image they had in mind.

We would like to thank all the amazing vendors that made this day possible!

Help Save the Day – Christmas is Only 120 Away!

August 24, 2015 / no comments

Did you know that its 120 days until Christmas Eve? So…you say? It’s sunny today, a high of 30degrees and only 5 more days until the weekend. Why think of Christmas?!

Well…what if you draw the short straw and get stuck with planning the office staff party this year? It’s not a last minute kind of task either, as calling around to book a venue in November can be too late. And if you do manage to find something, it’s tempting to fall into planning the same old things to save time.

Why not let RSVP help you plan this year a party that is hassle-free but definitely memorable. Choose from one of our 13 fabulous partner venues and with the help of one of our experienced planners, pull off a class act.

New Wedding Ideas & Trends 2015

July 10, 2015 / no comments

Wedding styles seem to be growing with endless possibilities; it is remarkable we are expected to settle on one sole them – and stick with it! The influence of social media such as wedding bloggers and Pinterest open a new door for weddings, presenting all kinds of new ideas we never thought possible. The influence from these outlets have allowed the creation for wedding décor to flourish! We now have access to all kinds of DIY crafts, themes, bouquets, alternatives to alters and the list goes on and on, making it almost impossible to decide on one particular theme.

Whether you decide you want to stick with a traditional style wedding or branch out and try something new, there seems to be endless ideas for every bride and groom. However, if you are someone who isn’t sure and are caught between the two, the new 2015 trends compliment both styles, as it ties a traditional classic wedding with a fresh modern lift.

From foodie buffets to bouquets, here are the latest wedding trends for this 2015:

Back up plan for your event

Corporate Mondays: Have a back plan for your event

Ottawa Corporate Planners

Chances are that something might go wrong at your event. Are you prepared for this? Do you have a back up plan? At RSVP, we are all about looking ahead and planning in advance. The first step is to meet with the client and come up with the most solid plan for the event. We then sit down with our team and come up with a secondary plan in case something does go wrong with the first plan. A few things that might go wrong at any event: Hosting an out door event- it starts to rain, an entertainer cancelling last minute, transportation not showing up and even a power outage!

Ottawa event Planners

Dealing with the problems at hand fast and efficiently tells you a lot about how prepared you were in case of an emergency. Having back up equipment is a good plan in case that microphone, laptop or projector stops working. What if that photographer does not show up? Having an extensive vendors data base, as well as  great vendor relationships is  huge  when you pick up that phone to ask for the favour. A site tour with the venue is always a must. Ask the venue about solutions and steps they have taken in the past to solve problems as they arise.
