by Tracy Nolan, WPICC of First Comes Love Weddings and WPIC Durham Regional Representative
It was a gorgeous evening in Downtown Toronto. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, the skies were blue, & 42 WPICC Wedding Coordinators & vendors came together & boarded the “Showboat” for a fun night of networking & cruising Toronto!
I am the WPIC Regional Representative for Durham Region! As the Regional Representative, it is my responsibility to organize networking events & learning seminars for WPICC alumni
Certified Wedding/ Event Planners are constantly educating themselves & networking with other wedding vendors & venues. We tour many venues & taste their food, so we can confidently refer them to our clients. It’s a tough job, I know…..but someone has to do it
We learn all there is to know about the venue. What packages they offer, pricing, food, etc. We can match the right venue to our clients. Saving them a lot of time & running around from venue to venue & meeting to meeting, trying to find that perfect venue they have been dreaming of
Jana, a Mariposa Representative, discussing with us, their fleet & what they can offer our wedding & corporate clients
Jana explains that Mariposa doesn’t offer wedding packages, as all weddings are custom to what the client wants. Giving couples the freedom to design their own ceremony and/or reception the way they want, & within their own budget.
Mariposa’s fleet consists of many boats & ships. They can accomedate groups from 2- 500+. Whether you’re having a small intimate wedding or a BIG fat Greek wedding, Mariposa has a boat for that.
The Super-Friendly staff at Mariposa Cruises!
The delicious food that Mariposa Cruises offers
We had a 2 hour cruise around Lake Ontario. Seeing a side of Toronto that you just don’t get to see everyday
During the cruise we had the opportunity to chat with other amazing wedding professionals, that I selected to showcase their work!
