It is beautiful and it is on the water. A beautiful investment! We are also proud of having more than 100 weddings in one season. That was a big achievement for us, we even had a cake to celebrate! This business has been part of our lives for 10 years now and I am proud of how it is growing and changing. We are proud to have purchased our own studio space in Toronto.

I worked for Walt Disney World, Outback Steakhous and the Orange County Convention while in college at UCF's Rosen College of Hospitality Management. Earned my degree in 2007 and have worked as a Catering Coordinator and also as a Corporate Event Planner. After gaining more experience in the industry I decided it was time to start applying for positions that would allow me to be creative and plan weddings! Of course as we all know, it is not the right economy to be applying for a promotion. BUT, I was determined. Traveling, networking events, social networking sites and 9 months later I have landed my dream job as a Catering Manager specializing in weddings. Many tearful nights and times I thought I would never make it. Moral of the story-use your mentors and idols (such as Preston) and keep plugging. I am living proof that it can happen with creativity and getting up when the chips are down. I am in a great place in my life right now and I look forward to learning from Preston and those in the industry who have made such a huge impact on others lives!

We've upgraded the concept of spa services at one's leisure, incorporating organic teas, luscious flowers, champagne, chocolate, and fruit into the entire massage ceremony. I am constatly tuning to you, Preston, because your events are so beautiful and over the top. Besides, I'm a Panamanian as well :).
