As I talk to brides and wedding colleagues about the upcoming Pop-up Wedding,  I’ve been asked several times about why I’m doing it.  The  whole purpose of The Pop-up Wedding is to help brides and grooms with their Calgary wedding planning.   Together with  Kensington Riverside Inn, we’ve gathered a creative and talented team of wedding vendors who are ready to flaunt their stuff, in a unique and interactive way.  We’re inviting you to witness Carolyn & Ryan’s vow renewal and watch us all doing what we do best.  Before and after the ceremony, you’ll have the opportunity to chat with us about pricing and availability.  If you’re on the hunt for a photographer, venue, wedding gown, wedding planner, stationer… (you get the idea), you’ll find some of Calgary’s best at this event on April 13th.  They are:

Boutique wedding photographer (Event Founder & Lead):  Tara Whittaker

If you can’t wait until April 13th, follow along on our brand new Pop-up Wedding Pinterest board.  We don’t want to give away all of our secrets but we are sharing information on all of the vendors involved and what’s inspiring us as we plan.  After the event, we’ll be sharing the sources of all the wedding details for your reference.  You’re going to want to follow this board.  Just click here.
