Christine's wedding surprise to James

Christine contacted A Night of Romance because she wanted to surprise her finace, James, with a memorable and romantic wedding night. Christine and James lived together before their wedding and she wanted to experience a special night that would be as special as the wedding.

We asked Christine what she desired for the perfect night so that we could make it a reality for her and James. After our consultation via email, Christine selected the "Room for Romance" package along with the "Romantic Serenity" package as she envisioned her entire honeymoon suite elegantly decorated. We asked Christine her preference for rose petal colour (she chose red) that would adorn the bed and create a romantic walkway from door to bed and bathroom. We inquired on the genre of music she and her groom would like to listen to in their honeymoon suite and she chose soft, classical music. There wasn't a detail to be missed.

The next step after understanding the couple's needs for a romantic night is sorting out the logistics with the hotel. I visited the hotel (the beautiful Park Hyatt hotel in Yorkville (Toronto)) to speak to them to ensure everything was in place for A Night of Romance to gain access to Christine and James's honeymoon suite on their wedding. During my visit to the hotel I requested to see the exact honeymoon suite Christine booked so that I could see the layout and, therefore, plan the romantic staging in advance of the event.

The days leading up to Christine's event Nirmala and I ordered the rose petals and flowers from our supplier, picked up the bottle of drink, purchased soft, classical music CDs from Indigo Bookstore, and picked up the desserts. In addition, we brought our candles and sweet room fragrance. We were now ready to give Christine and James a memorable night.

Nirmala and I are detail-oriented and and dedicated to providing a professional service for our clients. For this reason we usually need a few hours to romantically stage a honeymoon suite. The couple were planning to arrive at the hotel by midnight so we arrived earlier in the evening to give us sufficient time to make the room perfect. As an extra for the couple, Nirmala (after seeing pics of the suite I had taken) thought a decorative bowl (that was a complementary colour to the red rose petals and colour decor of the hotel room) of floating candles and flower heads on a table would really add to the romantic feel of the room and she was right (Nirmala has a great eye for design). We created the petal pathway one rose petal at a time so it is perfectly shaped. We brought in our own music system as the quality of sound is very good. Romantic staging involves selectively placing decorations and other items to enhance the romantic ambiance of the room. For example, we decided to place the flower bouquet directly across from the bed so that the couple could admire it. Another example is we hung Christine's wedding night lingerie from the closet door, that was not visible as you entered the bed area so it would be a nice surprise for James when she slipped it on. Every small detail is appreciated by the couple.

After the wedding Christine expressed to A Night of Romance how much she loved how we romantically staged the honeymoon suite and how happy James was with the surprise she gave him. Every wedding involves some level of wedding stress and this surprise gave Christine the opportunity to show James, even through all the stress they endured, she never forgot that the wedding was a celebration of their love and he was the most important person in her life, now and forever.

Christine was so pleased with our service that a year later she contacted A Night of Romance and asked us to make her first year wedding anniversary a special occasion and, once again, to surprise James! James is one lucky man :).
