A Montreal Fairytale in the Making!

LOVE IS IN THE AIR!

For the past 8 months I've been heavily involved with a new not-for-profit organization called Love Share Events. This group consists of event industry professionals who believes in collaboration, promoting one another and paying it forward in our community.

Since March we have been hard at work launching our group. After countless hours of meetings and preparations, our big launch finally took place on Wednesday, August 21, 2013 at the new venue, Espace Canal over at Restaurant L'Ambroisie. Love Share Events collaborated with the team at L'Ambroisie to launch their new room and our new organization. A buzz has surely been created in town and many events industry professionals were invited to share in this special moment with us as we launched our organization and announced our free Wedding Giveaway.

Here is our Launch Party Photo Album. Photos by Wanda Malfara Photography and James Paul Correia Photography. Enjoy!

The free wedding giveaway Contest has also launched a couple of weeks ago on Saturday, September 21, 2013. Are you a couple who have been engaged and have experienced a life changing event which prevents you from continuing with your plans? Then this Contest is for you! Don't forget we also accept nominations. The members of Love Share Events will be collectively donating the wedding to this couple to make their fairytale dreams come true!

Since the launch of this Contest, we have had a couple of mentions in the media. We invite you to take a look at the West End Times Newspapers' online version of the printed article "Engaged Couple in Distress Will Win Free Wedding" as well as listen to the interview with Dr. Laurie Betito on CJAD800. Mariage Quebec and Hotel 10 have also blogged about us! We are thrilled to have gone such a long way and have overcome so many obstacles to be where we are now. This is only the beginning! Do follow us on our social media networks to stay up to date with all our latest happenings. You will not be disappointed in hearing all about what we have in store for our community and the things we do to pay-it-forward!

If you're a vendor in the event industry who wish to join our team to promote one another and to pay-it-forward in our community, go ahead and send us your member application! We look forward to having you on board with us.
