Vendor Spotlight: Decor - The Perfect Setting Inc
Decor was one of those areas that I knew would be ultra important to me as I have a "vision" lol, this was also an area that was a no brainer for me when it came to who to choose. I had been a fan of Naphisha's (theperfectsetting.ca) work since I first saw it at my BFF's wedding. She did both her mendhi night and her reception day and I was blown away with her attention to detail and ability to pull together my friends ideas.
Since then she had also done another friends wedding and again I was blown away, so obviously Naphisha was the first vendor I contacted after we booked our hall. From our first "meeting" at the Suhaag wedding show where her booth was calling us over with its glitz and glamour as soon as we entered. It was meant to be and after we chatted quickly and I confirmed she had my dates available (thank god!) I emailed her and we set up an appointment to discuss our ideas.
We arrived at her office and just from her small display of decor (I later found out she has 3 warehouses full of decor!) I was again assured I was making the right decision. Her husband greeted us as she was just around the corner on her way (we were early), he sat with us and asked us questions about our venue and # of guests when Naphisha popped in with a smile. Her husband then left us to chat but insisted he grab us coffee from Timmies (so sweet), we chatted about everything from our colors to our vision to our backgrounds and in the end we signed our contract and secured the date feeling 100% sure she had capture our ideas perfectly!
Since then Ive met up with Naphisha once more to see her sketches of our big day and all I have to say is I left feeling inspired and more excited than Ive been almost this entire whole planning process. I absolutely love Naphisha, she is so sweet, warm and has a creative mind that leads me to believe she CAN do anything!
Marrying the man of my dreams will no doubt be the most exciting thing about my wedding day but I have to say The Perfect Setting's decor is a close second!
Here are some photo's of their work.

Vendor Spotlight: VENUE - Platinum Convention Center
After searching for a venue that me and my FI both liked, could agree on, that could not only accommodated 350ppl but that served both Indian and non Indian food too we finally found one we loved!
We found that Platinum Convention Center (hall A & B) was the perfect blend between modern and glam with its sparkling grand crystal chandeliers and stylishly neutral color scheme. It is centrally located (for us) in Woodbridge Ontario, has ample parking, standard gold Chiavari chairs (BIG bonus for us) and a grand foyer with 3 chic fire places.
When we went one day to check it out we were greeted by the sales manager Manny, he acknowledged us with a smile and mentioned he would be right with us as he was showing "repeat" customers around. When we finally sat down with him we realized his bubbly personality was so refreshing from some of the other halls we had visited that barely took the time to sit down with us. We chatted with him (without an appointment mind you) for about an hour about all of our options and came to a compromise on the price.
We left feeling good about the place but I insisted that we still go see the rest of the halls on our list that day. We did, none compared! We brought my parents to see it that week and booked!
Our experience with Manny and Platinum Convention Center has been nothing but wonderful. He has been accommodating and has answered my long list of questions and assured me that my day will go off without a hitch which is exactly what I want to hear at this point!
My overall experience with my venue (so far) is pretty good but I will update you as the months go on.
Here are some pictures of Platinum Convention Center.
