CHRISTMAS PARTIES
T’is the season to be jolly. It’s also the season for entertaining. Are you still undecided about where and when to have your Christmas party? Has panic set in?
Take a deep breath and contact the TWC Event Space. We can host your party right here or we can “Deck Your Halls” at home, at the office or at a venue that is perfectly suited for the size and formality of your function. The holidays are a time for enjoying and sharing with friends, family and colleagues, not for agonizing over entertainment details. Let the professional team at the TWC Event Space plan and coordinate your event. Parties are our business and we do it well! Relax and enjoy. The only thing for you to stress over is the age old dilemma “What should I wear?” If that really is a problem we can arrange a personal shopper for you.
Another option is to host your Christmas party in January after everyone is done with the party season and vacations. It can also be quite cost effective as January is generally a slower month and vendors may be more negotiable or offering specials.
Contact the TWC Event Space today. Even though Christmas is right around the corner there’s still time to plan and coordinate a fabulous party.
FUSION WEDDINGS
When most of us hear the term “fusion” we immediately think of fusion cuisine where two or more ethnic or regional cuisines are integrated or “fused”. Fusion weddings are the integration or “fusing” of two or more ethnic or regional cultures and cuisine is one element of a fusion wedding. As we live in a global village it can be no surprise that in ever increasing numbers couples from different religions, cultures, and countries of origin are meeting and choosing to marry. Did you know that over 100 languages and dialects are spoken right here in Toronto, one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world? However, planning a fusion wedding can present challenges. After all, there are two very different families from totally different backgrounds, each wanting to celebrate with their own customs. Can you have a successful fusion wedding with both sides of the family satisfied? Absolutely! The Toronto Wedding Chapel is the scene of many fusion weddings, and we plan them offsite for larger groups as well. It takes careful planning and expertise, but we’re always up for the challenge. Have a look at some of the lovely photos from one of our recent fusion weddings.
At the Toronto Wedding Chapel we have many creative ways to weave the traditions and customs of each family into the wedding. Some couples opt for one culture to dominate the ceremony and the other culture to dominate the reception. Another option is to have two separate religious wedding ceremonies and one reception. The most popular preference is that all aspects of the wedding are as integrated as possible. There are many ways to integrate different cultures at a fusion wedding:Wedding Attire: The bride and groom each wear the traditional wedding garb of their culture.
Wedding Ceremony: The bride and the groom can each say a part of their vows in their native language.
Décor: Feature décor elements of both cultures.
Music: A DJ with access to the music of both cultures is extremely cost effective.
Food: Finally we get down to fusion cuisine. Food is the easiest way to blend two cultures at the wedding reception and food stations or a buffet are an excellent way to showcase the cuisine of both cultures. An innovative caterer may be able to create a few special signature dishes that incorporate some elements of each culture in the true meaning of fusion cuisine.
Each fusion wedding is unique to the two families merging. Contact the Toronto Wedding Chapel today for some interesting insights on how we can create a magical and stress-free fusion wedding for you.
HAVE YOU CONSIDERED A WEEKDAY WEDDING?
Weekday weddings are a hot trend right now. Once only popular in Europe, we’ve finally caught onto the trend due in large part to challenging economic times. The reality is that it can be substantially cheaper to get married during the week than on the weekend. There are really only two drawbacks to a weekday wedding. It is less than ideal for out of town guests. And, if you planned to dance all night, bear in mind that while you luxuriate in your honeymoon suite the next day most of your guests will be engaged in battle with their alarm clocks trying to rise and shine for work.
Weekday weddings open up a world of possibilities:
- First and foremost are the financial advantages. Venues and vendors alike may not be fully booked during the week and as a result may offer lower pricing during what is considered to be a non-peak time.
- Availability is another great advantage. Many popular venues are booked one to two years in advance on weekends especially during high volume months. Instead of settling for second best, opt for a weekday wedding at the venue of your dreams.
- Weekday weddings are an excellent choice for couples jetting off to a destination wedding. You will be able to share the experience with family and friends that won’t be traveling with you and you won’t have to break the bank. In addition you will have the security of knowing that your wedding ceremony is legal.

We can plan and coordinate your offsite weddings as well, so give us a ring and let’s discuss the possibilities of a weekday wedding.
