Working with experienced vendors that have a big heart

Every year I form a team to participate in the annual Run for the Cure and this year I wanted to contribute more to this great cause so when I was thinking about my next event to plan, I knew it would be a charity fundraiser for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF). The wheels in my head began turning and the ideas were flowing but how could I pull it off? Thanks to a group of great people who care just as much as I do...

On February 20, 2010, Beyond Events will be co-hosting with the Marriott Courtyard a charity fundraiser that will be"Bringing back the 80's" for one night only.

• Imagine 150 ladies dressed in their best 80s outfit, dancing the the tunes of Duran Duran, Cindy Lauper, Boy George, Madonna and so many more (all music to be provided by the fabulous PM Event Services).
• Well we can't have a night without transforming a room into a wonderland of white and hot pink colours which will be done by Wedecor - one of the best in Ottawa for wedding decor.
• And what's an event without the entertainment? Well we will have our very own Fantasia Diva for the night, Yuk Yuk's will be providing the comedians and Sensually Active Ottawa will thrust us into some pole dancing lessons - all these activities will bring sexy back for sure!
• We also have some great feature booths: custom bra fittings from Comfy Posture Solutions, quickie chair massages from Maitland Massage, and for the sweet tooth...Little Cakes will delight you....just to name a few.

Well since my return to Ottawa, I've worked with many vendors in the wedding and event industry. Some are good at what they do and others have not only impressed me with their professionalism but clearly share the same passion as me in making an event something to remember. I look forward to what 2010 will bring - this event is simply start it off right!

If you're planning a wedding or event, check out some of these highly recommended vendors! Better yet dress in your leg warmers and tease your hair, grab your girlfriends, come down to the Byward Market, and dance to the 80s while supporting a great cause!
