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!

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:

The Buzz on the Brew House

June 29, 2015 / no comments

With today’s generation full of “foodies,” there appears to be a rise of new hip burger joints, fish tacos and craft beers, therefore putting The Mill St. Brew House in its prime. For this reason, it is no secret many people are buzzing about The Mill St. Pub being one of the “in-style” venues to have a wedding this year. If you are looking to achieve a shabby-chic or rustic atmosphere, RSVP would be thrilled to plan your wedding in this ideal space!

History:

The Mill St. Brew Pub opened in January 2012 within one of Ottawa’s oldest surviving mills from 1842. The historic limestone building was once an integral part of the world’s largest lumbering operations; known as the Thompson-Perkins & Bronson Pulp Mill.
Today, the Mill thrives on brewing their own innovative craft beers while still maintaining Canada’s brewing heritage. Yet, that is not all they are known for, it seems the historic brew house has built quite the reputation for hosting many memorable events with a unique view.
The beautifully restored site overlooks the Capital, and offers an attractive access to the Ottawa River. While hosting an event, you can enjoy the stunning view of the mill’s “ruins”, or dine overlooking the river from their glass enclosed Logger’s Chute Atrium. However, it does not end there; located upstairs is the Brewmaster’s Room, which makes the perfect venue to complete your wedding or large event. When reserving with the Mill St. Brew Pub, they also include a tour conducted by one-on-one staff brewers to complete the historic experience!
