Katy Perry & Russell Brand

Katy Perry and Russell Brand tied the knot on Saturday October 23rd, 2010 during an extravagant week long celebration in India. The couple was engaged on New Year's Eve 2010 after just 3 months of dating. Perry's engagement ring was an estimated 3Carat round shaped stone set on a vintage yellow gold band from Cartier's, worth approximately $120 000!

The couple entertained their wedding guests throughout the week with events

such as song and dance performances and even a safari. On Thursday, a small bazaar was set up inside their resort - an Indian wedding tradition - for guests to buy fabrics, jewellery or have their fortune read by a parrot. On Friday evening, a Bollywood themed performance was enjoyed by all, as well as the traditional Mendhi ceremony.

More pictures and information about the reception will be posted when I can find them!!

Wedding Show Season!

Well, things are busy for Mosaic Event Planning and Marreme.com! We have been out connecting with new couples and showing them what wedding stress the website (and hiring a wedding planner!) can relieve. Our first stop in August was the Ancaster Wedding Show. On Sunday August 22nd, we spent the day with over 100 vendors at this show's debut for the area! Unfortunately the weather wasn't the greatest, but the show still attracted hundreds of brides and provided them with goodie bags and cupcakes while they strolled through the halls.
Our second show was in Mississauaga at the Ultimate Bridal Show on Sunday October 3rd 2010. With this being a more intimate show, featuring 30 vendors, the team really had a better chance to speak with couples and discuss their wedding planning progress thus far. We had an amazing customer light up when she saw our booth. She was thrilled to come over and share her wonderful experience using the site, "It's so easy, and has REALLY organized all of my wedding chaos!". We love the feedback - Since, we are here to help you!
Our next show will be back in Toronto on November 5th - 7th at the Toronto Bridal Show. If you plan to attend, be sure to stop by and say hello!

We are hoping the new year will also allow us to branch out again, to shows outside of Toronto. Since our site features vendors from all over Ontairo, we really want to introduce ourselves to brides who might need the resources all in one place.
To the Marreme team - Chris, Michelle, Dave & Alex - keep up the great work!
