Reviewing Stephanie Van De Ven, Marketing & Events Coordinator, KW Guelph Weddings
Review is written by Staff @ The Ring and is based on • Interviews with this vendor
For close to twenty years, KW Guelph Weddings has been planning and coordinating weddings and events through their unique venues – one of which is Dallas. Having catered to big time celebrities, huge local companies, fundraisers and charities, the team at KW Guelph Weddings already has the knowledge, experience and passion to host weddings, saying that events are what they do, and what they do best.
New to hosting weddings, Dallas' charming characters and rustic-like atmosphere certainly has potential to be a unique reception venue. Working with Stephanie Van De Ven, the Marketing and Events Coordinator, we were told that Dallas will work with couples' budgets to offer everything from venue to menu. We met with Stephanie, toured the scene and found out more about what the friendly and flexible team at KW Guelph Weddings can do for local brides. Here's what we found out…
Personally speaking…
KW Guelph Weddings is an extension of CMG Entertainment and has been planning and coordinating weddings, events and everything in between for over twenty years in their venues in Kitchener and Guelph. "Our company has been involved in events, weddings, marketing, concerts, and more… it’s simply what we do, and it’s what we do best!" says Stephanie.
Included in their list of venues are Dallas, Elements and Wax in Kitchener, and Opus (in Guelph, and newly added to Kitchener).
The Marketing & Events Coordinator – or as we like to call her, the Wedding Specialist, Stephanie, has a degree in Marketing & Event Management. Stephanie meets with couples from start to finish, and we're told, "successfully completes every task meticulously."
Through KW Guelph Weddings' venues, Stephanie works closely with Executive Chef Tim Halley, who has his Red Seal Chef's papers. Tim meets with couples to discuss the food aspect of the event and prepares a sensational menu based on their needs, wants and budget.
Together, these two experts work with the rest of the KW Guelph Weddings team, who have over twenty years of combined, on-premises experience with events, weddings and catering. "We have enough experience and passion to make any event perfect," Stephanie told The Ring. The event staff and venue managers are also present on the big day to help make sure everything runs according to plan.
KW Guelph Weddings has catered to the likes of big time celebrities like country music star Dierks Bentley, hip hop mogul, Wyclef Jean, and rock stars, Our Lady Peace and Collective Soul, to name just a few. They've also worked with large local companies for special events and fundraisers.
Whatever a bride wants…
With all of the events that Dallas hosts, we wondered what keeps them raring to go for more. Stephanie told us that it's the "satisfying feeling of making our clients happy." And with their easy going and flexible attitudes, we'd be surprised if clients weren't satisfied.
Stephanie has noticed that brides and grooms want to focus their day more on providing their guests with a "unique location for their wedding – something modern and fun," which KW Guelph Weddings is happy to offer through Dallas. "Along with the tastiest kinds of food you have ever sampled at incredible prices," adds Stephanie. "We can accommodate any style with the amount of venues we have – we’re a one-stop shop!"
Offering everything from venue to menu, it seems that Dallas can help brides and grooms with whatever it is they want. Whether that's sound, lighting, DJ, décor, or more, Dallas can use their preferred vendors, or help you find ones that are more suitable for your needs. Plus, Stephanie adds that they're always willing to negotiate prices depending on your budget. "We help you secure and explore options with the extras like flowers, music, favours, etcetera."
Dallas' rustic charm…
When we met with Stephanie, Dallas hadn't yet hosted a wedding reception, but with their passion for hosting events in order to make clients happy, they told us that they would love to and think that the beautiful and charming atmosphere has great potential for a reception. "We are certain that when a bride and groom choose Dallas, they will experience a venue with charm, character, and complete support from start to finish."
Dallas' newly renovated, multi level venue is bright and spacious with a top of the line sound and lighting system, full dance floor and rustic, country-like room décor. Check out the KW Guelph Weddings website for photos of this venue, and inquire within for more info.
Walking you through it...
As soon as you know you want to host your wedding reception at Dallas, Stephanie says to contact her by email. You can set up an appointment to meet at the venue, check it out, ask questions, and tell Stephanie all about your wedding day plans. She recommends booking at least six months before your wedding, but sooner is even better since they're always busy with events and weddings.
"From the moment you decide to work with us for your wedding day, we provide non-stop, constant support, help, advice, suggestions, and complete organization from start to finish," says Stephanie. "We can meet as often as you like… We are customer-pleasers, relaxed, easy going and always there for you." Aside from checking out the venue before the big day, you also get to sample the menu!
To secure your day a deposit is required, but, like most of KW Guelph Weddings' services, this is also flexible. "We’re always willing to work with you," says Stephanie.
Throughout the process, even after the wedding, Stephanie likes to keep in contact with couples. During, Stephanie makes sure everyone is on the same page, and after the wedding, she follows up to make sure everything went smoothly.
With this flexibility, dedication to their clients, and unique venues that KW Guelph Weddings offers – including Dallas in Kitchener – we wouldn't be surprised if they became the talk of the bridal community.
