Wedding Mandana and Kevin A beautiful blend of religion, culture and love, Mandana and Kevin’s wedding day was one the most unique wedding celebrations that was our pleasure to help plan.

These works of art and the simple décor of a few vases of white flowers around the kneeling bench made for a great atmosphere. It was so beautiful to see this Mandana and Kevin make a promise of a lifetime, especially in front of all our their guests that had come so far. Both Canadian natives themselves, Mandana and Kevin and most of their guests traveled all the way from Canada
