Last weekend, the beautiful Miller Lash House on the University of Toronto property set the stage for an unforgettable WPIC certification course. Surrounded by history and elegance, our students gained invaluable knowledge and experience to elevate their wedding planning expertise.
Venue Exploration: Manager Myra gave us an exclusive site visit of the heritage property, showcasing its unique offerings for wedding couples. From the charming heritage home to the large tent, students discovered why the Miller Lash House is such a sought-after wedding venue. Miller Lash House is a historic event venue nestled on the University of Toronto Scarborough campus. Originally built in 1913 for the Miller family as their summer residence, this magnificent house has been lovingly restored and transformed into one of the premier event venues in Toronto, without losing its original charm.
The house showcases beautiful stonework, intricate woodwork, and well-maintained gardens.
Educational Highlights:
- Liz from Chair Decor: Liz shared her expertise on pairing linens with glassware, cutlery, and chargers, as well as the art of napkin folds and the process of bookings. Her presentation was an enlightening experience for all attendees.
- Adeola Dami of Celebrations by Adeola: Adeola brought warmth and insight as she educated us on embracing multiculturalism in weddings, sharing her knowledge on how to plan truly inclusive and diverse celebrations.
Co-Founders Lead the Way: Co-founders Danielle and Tracey led this class, sharing their wealth of knowledge and passion for the wedding industry.
Hands-On Learning: The students participated in a group project, working in pairs to collaborate and present their findings. This interactive exercise fostered teamwork and practical application of their skills.
Captured Moments: The incredible Rosetta of Rosetta Li Weddings was on hand to document the weekend.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this WPIC certification course such a success! Now they have two weeks of homestudy to prepare them to write their final certification exam.
