So, grooms, the big day is coming up and let’s be honest, like most grooms, you probably haven’t had much involvement in the planning of your wedding. It’s not that you didn’t want to be more involved but, let’s face it, the bride is the CEO of this operation and you’re like the assistant. And, as an assistant, she asks your opinion. And the conversation probably sounds something like this – “which colour of the font do you like for the invitations? Black? Oh, I like the burgundy, why do you like the black? The burgundy looks better with the colour of the paper. Let’s go with the burgundy” - but, at the end of the day, she is calling the shots. And, being the wonderful groom that you are, you’re probably okay with it b/c, really, who wants all that wedding stress of planning if you can avoid it! So your bride is planning the wedding she’s always dreamt of as a little girl and you’re on the sidelines cheering and supporting her on. And, you should definitely get credit for that because she needs a shoulder to cry on when her parents don’t understand why she won’t let them invite the long lost relative she’s never met, when her Maid of Honour has gone MIA, or when the tailor screws up the alterations of her wedding dress. But wouldn’t it be nice to show her on the day of the wedding that you appreciate all that she’s done to make the most important day of your lives perfect and all the stress has not gone unnoticed. That you have also put thought and effort into making this day special. And, to top it off, she doesn’t even expect it because it is a surprise – how memorable would that be? Imagine as you carry her over the threshold of the honeymoon suite or bedroom she enters a room that is like a romantic fantasy and different than any other night the both of you have experienced. The best part about it, all you have to do is email or call us. It’s that easy so you don’t have to take on any stress. You are her Prince Charming so why not do a romantic gesture that fits the part? You look great, she feels great and there was no stress involved – now how perfect is that :).

Top Hotel Pick: The Hazelton
The suites are modern and contemporary, but comfortable, giving you the feel of an upscale lounge. The rooms are adorned with tasteful wall to wall carpeting, sliding doors, flat screen TVs, and a huge black marble bathroom equipped with all the modern amenities, including a heated floor. The rooms are all about privacy, and if locking your door is not enough, each room is equipped with a sensor to alert you when someone is approaching your door. Recess lighting and night control can set the mood for romance, or a little sleepy eye.
The chic look of the hotel continues into the restaurant, One, run by celebrity chef Mark McEwen. Adorned in much of the same black marble and ambient lighting, the restaurant showcases a fabulous menu. My husband and I recently celebrated our anniversary at this restaurant, and let me say, even their Ultimate Street Burger is nothing like what you would find on the street. The food was delicious, and along with the great service, this restaurant will remain one of my top pick romantic restaurants for Toronto.
If you’re looking for modern and contemporary elegance, and you don’t mind being pampered like an A-lister, this is the perfect hotel for you.

This is our first official Press Release we wrote so we decided to share it on our blog as well
A Night of Romance knows a lot about romance. In business since 2008, and focusing on creating the ultimate romantic experience for the couple for Valentine’s Day, proposals, anniversaries, or the wedding night, Monika and Nirmala have a lot to share when it comes to what makes a perfect romantic evening.
“We have the unique experience of working with couples, and particularly men, who are looking for advice on creating the perfect romantic oasis. Men are often uncomfortable when it comes to planning and carrying out romantic plans. That’s where we come in to help him make their romantic fantasy a reality. However, there are a few things that a guy must do to make the perfect Valentine’s Day.”
Here are their tips for Valentine’s Day 2010:
1) Words Will Conquer All – A simple “I love you” and a romantic kiss can set the tone for the rest of the evening. Keep the conversation flowing; listening intently will make her feel that you’re focusing on her.
2) Be In Tune With Her – Reflect on what she enjoys and incorporate that into your plans. Make your plans personalized and original.
3) Go Beyond the Cliché – A Bouquet of roses and box of chocolates are nice, but predictable year after year. Add an element of surprise to your plans.
4) Plan, Plan, Plan – A woman wants to feel like she’s being taken care of, and the best way to do that is to plan your evening. Whether you’re planning it on your own or working with romance experts such as A Night of Romance she will appreciate the effort and pre-thought to plan, because it says, “I care for you”.
5) Make it an Experience – Focus on creating a memory, something she will remember forever.

John came to us with a thought to do something unique and special for his bride Michelle. After a very stressful wedding planning process, John was ready to do everything and anything in his power to make their wedding day a special and memorable experience for Michelle. He promised Michelle two surprise wedding gifts – a romantic guitar serenade, and a memorable wedding night experience. It meant everything to John to know that there was a memory that he could share with Michelle that would be exclusively for them. Michelle loves Bollywood, he explained, and he appropriately decided to surprise Michelle with our Bollywood Night to Remember package. The couple stayed at the charming lakefront Waterside Inn in Port Credit (Mississauga). Well, this photo can explain a little about how the room turned out...
And where photos are limiting, I can describe a beautiful rose incense scent filling the room, and romantic Hindi songs, including the bride’s favourite song, Khuda Jaane, playing softly in the background. We wanted to make Michelle feel like a Bollywood star, and Bollywood extravagance is exactly what she got.
Though we never had the chance to speak with Michelle, from John’s description, she was very touched by the romantic gesture from John. She cried out of happiness after entering the hotel suite. Monika and I are very grateful to have been part of that experience for them, and part of a memory they will cherish for years to come. The fact that we helped to make John’s second surprise for his bride a reality touched us a great deal.
Congratulations John and Michelle. We wish you both the best for the future!

Much like the rest of the home, their bedroom was spacious and tastefully decorated. We decided to go with magenta and blue for the room, and focused on making the bedroom look elegant and lavish, including satin sheets, extravagant flower arrangements, crystal candle holders and other accessories, and rose petals. The bedroom was fit for royalty.
It was a challenge trying to keep the room closed off to most of the guests, and especially Steve! But we managed. Salima and Steve loved it, so much that they opened the doors for their closest friends and family to see for the rest of the evening.

We had so much fun with Jane and her team shooting the “operation romance” scene and decorating the hotel suite. It was definitely a new experience for us TV-virgins getting sound wired, being directed on the scene, and trying to sound as natural as possible once the cameras were on. Jane helped us out quite a bit by coaching us and keeping the dialogue flowing. Though Monika and I had only a few minutes of camera time, it brings a whole new respect to what Jane does for each episode. Jane’s charismatic and witty, and she’s a pro on camera and off.
At the end of a very long and tiring day, Monika and I decided to celebrate our Wedding SOS experience with some dinner and drinks. We reflected on the preparations, the TV shooting, the wonderful people we met in the process, and how beautiful the room turned out. It was well worth all the work and, especially if it meant making a memory for this special couple a little more special and memorable. After all, if we can make even one of the couple’s memories a little sweeter for them, then our job is done.
We have to thank Jane, Tracey, Dora and Gary for involving us on this episode. We had so much fun and we look forward to working with them in the future. Can’t wait until the season starts!
