Desiree and Matt got married at The Sir William Mackenzie Inn, a historical venue in Kirkfield, ON. The Victorian property was once the country estate of Sir William Mackenzie, a railway contractor known for building and owning the Canadian National Railway. The inn is surrounded by gardens and woods which set a serene mood and a scenic background for the talented photographers at Bows and Lavender to take photos. To fit the natural beauty of the estate, The Event Design Co. planned an elegant wedding with a soft colour palette of pure white, with hints of green and wood.

From the Planner: If you tried to imagine the perfect couple, the couple that would be any wedding planner’s dream, that would be Desiree and Matt. From the moment I met these two, I knew that their wedding was going to be one for the books. Their only request was that the day be fun for their guests, family and wedding party.
