A Chic New Year’s Eve Wedding in Ottawa, Ontario

Wedding date: December 31, 2011

Wedding theme: New Year’s Eve

Guests: 115

Budget: $25,000

Best moment: “There were so many but ringing in New Year’s Eve and the countdown, as a married couple surrounded by our family and friends was just fantastic,” says Valérie.

Favourite detail: “We have too many to choose from but the balloon drop at midnight really added to the party atmosphere,” explains Valérie.

Wedding song: “Feels Like Home” by Chantal Kreviazuk. “The lyrics are just perfect since they describe exactly how we feel about each other, and our good friend, Martin St-Onges, sang it for us live with his acoustic guitar,” says Valérie.
