Wild Orchid Creations Blog - Jack & Ye's Wedding

Wild Orchid Creations was the photographer for the wedding Dan was at a couple of weeks ago. They blogged about their experience and included some great photos.
Here is what they had to say!


Ye and Jack had a small, intimate wedding at Fantasy Farm. When we first arrived and were supposed to do family portraits on the grounds, it started to rain. It frightened us, but luckily the rain stopped just in time for the ceremony and provided Ye and Jack with gorgeous weather after all.


The bridal party performed a very funny choreographed dance for everyone:

Another Great Wedding Weekend

This weekend was a busy one, but a wonderful and fun one as well.

I would like to start by congratulating both of our couples, we were honored to be a part of their weddings.

Crystal & Larry, were married on Saturday at Wooden Stick Golf and Country Club in Uxbridge. What can I say other then 'Thank You' for having me there! You both we so amazing and fun. Your reception definitely reflected both of your personalities and it was such an amazing party! I can't wait to see all of the pictures that James Lee took!

Ye & Jack were married on Sunday at Fantasy Farm in Toronto. You both were so kind and nice. You had a beautiful ceremony and the reception suited yourselves and guests perfectly. Thank you for having me be there to provide the music for such a lovely event. I loved the bridal party dances, such a great touch!

Chris & Lisa - July 3rd, 2010

Here is a quick e-mail that was sent over to us this morning from happy newly weds!
Hi Dan,

I just want to thank you for doing such an amazing job. I think the mix of everything worked perfectly! I kept hearing people say they have never heard such good music at a wedding. I just want to thank you again and I hope you had a nice visit to our little city.

Thanks again!

Chris & Lisa


This past Saturday, we had the honour of travelling to Chatham to be a part of Chris and Lisa's wedding day. They held their reception at the Retro Suites, an amazing and funky venue in the heart of Chatham. It is a hotel that has multiple rooms that are decked out in different themes... apparently Jay Leno's favorite place to stay while visiting Ontario.



They had a smaller reception with just over 80 guests and really wanted a dance club feel with tons of Top 40 and really danceable music, so that is exactly what they got. The dance floor was packed all night long with still over 30 people wanting to keep the party going at the end of the night.




To top off the evening, they had a candy buffet full of childhood favorites such as 'Fun Dips', 'War Heads' & 'Big Foots' which helped with the long ride home on Sunday.



Thanks again Chris and Lisa for having us as part of your amazing reception and we wish you all the best in the future!

Cheers,

Dan and Laura

What is with the lack of Blogs lately?

There is a very good reason for our lack of blogs lately... We welcomed our little boy to the world on Tuesday, April the 20th. He weighed in at a whopping 9 lbs! Everyone is doing well, but are trying to get back into the routine of blogging!
