Events x Frid Wedding Planners Fiesta Grand Opening

May 7, 2018

One of our favourite Ottawa Wedding Planners, Satin & Snow, has re-branded! Brittany Frid is an award-winning Ottawa wedding planner, who has earned so much success over the last few years with her unique designs and outlook on wedding planning. Her team has grown, and so has the brand which is now named Events x Frid. I don’t know about you, but I am in love with her re-brand description:

FRID / [frē·ēd]

noun

1. swedish surname.
2. contemporary wedding planning and design team.
3. rentable event space in west ottawa.

adjective

1. rescued from the black hole of pinterest.
2. unrestricted by social trends like burlap and mason jars.
3. released from useless traditional obligations like the garter toss.
4. saved from stuffy, dull and/or over-the-top event designs.
5. liberated from overwhelming urges to elope.

This is just a taste of the essence of this unique wedding planning team!

We attended her Cinco de Mayo grand opening bash last weekend to check out her new digs, and we loved it! Since the new space has a gigantic garage door, it was wide open because of the gorgeous weather and added to the ambiance with the sun trickling in as guests enjoyed cool drinks and treats.

Not surprisingly, every piece of this party was carefully curated to the fiesta theme, but not in any way cheesy or overdone. The floral displays were (of course) nothing short of magical with the perfect touch of whimsy.

From tacos to a popcorn bar to sombrero shaped cookies and a pinata prop for the photobooth, down to the wicked fresh paletas served non-stop. This party was *definitely* the one not to miss, we can only hope that Frid will throw another one when her season winds down for everyone who missed out this time around!

Congratulations, Brittany! I am so pumped to be working with Frid for 2018, and can’t wait to see the magic we’ll make together.
