Contemporary style combine with chic atmosphere at Opus Banquet Facility
If you’re looking for an uber contemporary, gallery-style venue with high ceilings and design possibilities to die for, Opus Banquet Facility in Kitchener-Waterloo is going to blow you away – or at least have you asking yourself how you didn’t know about this location before… With space for up to 220 guests, a second location in Guelph, plenty of menu options via the Opus Executive Chef, this venue is incredible. Opus weddings and events are coordinated and run by KW Guelph Weddings, the same team that handles the many wedding, event and concert details of this and other clubs (including both Kitchener and Guelph Opus locations, Elements, Wax and Dallas in Kitchener).

KW Guelph Weddings turns Elements and Wax into the hot spots for glam-style weddings
Like many Kitchener locals, the team at The Ring knew Elements and Wax to be hot spots on the night club scene. They open to the public on Saturday nights and then play host to chart-topping celebs like Lady Gaga, Our Lady Peace and Collective Soul at select dates throughout the year. It wasn't until we were scouting locations for The 2009 K-W Brides' Ball that we saw for ourselves how fabulous these locations could be for a multitude of different types of events - including weddings. From the dark, almost-vintage style space of Elements (which was once a theatre, complete with neon marquis in front), to the multi-level, more intimate space of Wax, the doors are open for glam-style wedding receptions, after parties, engagement parties and more. In fact, both Elements and Wax already host corporate events (from Manulife to Rogers), fundraisers and charity events - one of which, in the summer of '09, was The Brides' Ball. We sat down with Stephanie Van De Ven, Marketing & Events Coordinator at the company behind the club-style wedding locales, KW Guelph Weddings, to find out exactly what a bride can and will love about Elements and Wax. Check it out…

A Universal Limousine offers luxury transportation & service to local brides
When the staff at The Ring visited with A Universal Limousine Service on their expansive grounds located between St. Thomas and Aylmer, we were blown away by what we thought, originally, might have just been another limousine company. We knew that A Universal has been among the 'who's who' in luxury transportation for over a decade, but now we know why. By focusing on providing tons of options, customizable packages, quality service, and excellence in both their vehicles and their chauffeurs, it's no wonder that business managers, brides and prom queens alike, repeatedly choose this company to get them to their destinations in style. A Universal knows their business inside and out and only gets bigger every year, because of it.

Tyla & Brian: Saying ‘I Do' in Style

June 14 2008 :: Hauser Hall, Heidelberg

Like so many couples today, Tyla Fullerton and Brian Sweet met on the internet. Brian said one of the things he loved most about Tyla was that she is a strong intelligent woman “who cares deeply about her family and community.” For Tyla, it was about “Brian’s sense of humour and his optimism. He can always make me laugh and he keeps me grounded.”

 

Dare to be YOU in print

How to make sure your invites emulate your 'couple style'

When planning your wedding, it's obvious that the bride will choose a dress that flatters her beautifully and the groom will choose attire that will suit him too a tee... The flowers will be of a colour and shape that compliments the look of your wedding, and everything else will fall into place... Or will it?

 

Tips for an eco-chic wedding

Expert Tips from Flourish

Think global - shop local. Talk with prospective vendors, get to know their business practices, and ways that their business "keeps things green." Have them recommend other vendors that they know of who share the same values.

 

Sherill & Nathan: A Truly Green Wedding

August 29 2008 :: Toronto Music Garden & Harbour View Estates, Toronto

Set your date with a poem!

Married when the year is new, he’ll be loving, kind and true. When February birds do mate, you neither wed nor dread your fate. If you wed when March winds blow, joy and sorrow you will know. Marry in April when you can, joy for maiden and for man.

  • Subject: Re:Dyeing shoes! - by: Carla @ The Ring
    The Ring has a review on Urban Bride, which isn't in K-W, but Cambridge (which is still close). Simona, the Owner, says she sells dyable shoes and can take care of dying them for you, too. I'm not sure if this means she dyes them in store or has a place where she can send them to get dyed, but it's worth looking into. Here's the review for more info and her contact info: Urban Bride review (http://www.theweddingring.ca/reviews-in-the-ring/urban-bride) So far this is the only option we've found aside from The Shoe Doctor in Fairview Mall. You may also check out Latinos in Cambridge as we heard from a wedding planner that they might do it as well. Good luck!
  • Subject: Re:Need venue suggestions - by: Robyn
    I didn't love the Walper when we went to look at it.. Just walking up the staircase and seeing all the paint chipped off the walls & doors.. then in the upstairs "lobby" with the bar.. there were really faded pictures (of children?) hanging on the walls. And the ballroom was so narrow. I also didn't love that parking is not that close (especially for grandparents) and guest would have to pay for it. I was also not a fan that the bar was so far from the dance floor. I am really glad that you have heard good things from people that have had weddings there already. Maybe I am too picky. . We are having ours at 3 Bridges in St. Jacob's. I love the big windows and country setting :)
