Cultural Love

 In Branding, Media
Vancouver’s John M.S. Lecky UBC Boathouse provided the perfect space for Vida + Ibrahim to host a family rich and culturally infused wedding celebration to remember! DreamGroup Planner Cayenne Gartside was so excited to support this couple’s wedding and help them bring their beautiful vision to life!  We give you “Cultured Love”.

Wedding Highlights? What did you love? What was unique?

“It was a magical day! I have never seen such a supportive and tight knit family dynamic. I loved that Vida and Ibrahim incorporated their beautiful Nigerian culture into the wedding, with traditional second outfits and dancing through to the music and food!”

What was the most successful part of the day?

“The flow of the day! Everything was smooth as can be. We had such a short rental window but we all worked together to make it happen.”

“My husband filled a review but I needed to say more because DreamGroup was fantastic and Cayenne was out of this world. We were planning an international wedding – me in the US and my husband in Canada. We wanted to include aspects of our culture in the wedding. Right from the start, our interaction with dream group was positive. The interview with the Genève was encouraging, warm and authentic. She was approachable and thoughtful and made sure we knew she was always available even after she paired us with Cayenne who she thought would be a great fit for our wedding needs. And she was so right! We wanted to plan a simple, elegant, culture infused wedding and we couldn’t have been more lucky to work with Cayenne.

Honestly, she felt more like a friend, someone you can count on, by the end of the wedding planning.

We used DreamsGroup’s Wedding Essentials services since we had already made some headway on major aspects of the wedding planning. Cayenne impressed me with her calm demeanor, thoughtful questions and preparation (she had done some research on Nigerian weddings before our first meeting) as well as her ability to think quickly on her feet. She was extremely organized without being inflexible. She was honest and looked out for US and OUR goals the entire time. Most especially she was warm and approachable while being an absolute professional. Even though I wasn’t able to visit the site until 4 days before the wedding, I had complete peace of mind knowing Cayenne was on top of all the details and understood our vision. Our wedding was smooth and beautiful and we were well taken care of thanks to Cayenne and DreamGroup. We are forever grateful.”
