Monday morning: a gorgeous invitation was delivered to the office asking us to join\u00a0Candice and Alison, the duo behind some of Toronto’s most elaborate events, to\u00a0celebrate their 5 year anniversary. 3 seconds later: We RSVP’ed with an\u00a0enthusiastic “yes!” After all, it’s not every day that we get to attend an event produced by a company named as one of North America’s most innovative event designers.<\/p>

Candice and Alison chose one of Toronto’s most sought after event spaces, Malaparte<\/a>\u00a0(at the TIFF Bell Lightbox) to showcase\u00a0each partners unique creative talents. The event theme was Candice vs. Alison which allowed each designer creative freedom to bring to life a space inspired by their own imagination.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>

Dressed up in our finest, we rode the elevator up to the event space. \u00a0As the elevator doors opened, we were welcomed by Candice and Alison and were then ushered into a breathtaking lush garden setting designed by Alison. Featuring luxurious white lounge furniture, a showstopping cake and a lush floral wall, we had to pinch ourselves to make sure we weren’t dreaming. \u00a0To cap it off, in the midst of this jaw dropping setting, we were greeted with champagne cocktails and invited to delight in the delicious food prepared by Oliver & Bonacini Catering<\/a>.<\/p>

Taking in the spectacular view of the city indoors is nothing compared to the roof top terrace. This space is typically drenched in white but Candice turned that normal upside down and designed a dark romantic world for guests to enjoy. A black and purple tent<\/a> anchored the space with stunning dark furniture and accessories transforming the steps. Decadent desserts<\/a> were the food highlight in this space.<\/p>

Being the Lead Editor at EventSource means I get to experience a whole new level of wedding and special event amazing-ness! Every morning I open up my inbox to a whole new set of jaw-dropping event photos submitted by the industry\u2019s top leaders and get to share their work with you! Of course, all work and no play makes Amy a dull girl. I love giving back as well! I\u2019m a huge animal lover and wish I could have a house full of dogs. Alas, I cannot so I volunteer my time to a local charity raising funds to help build a new animal shelter. As the Chair of Fundraising, I help plan and coordinate their signature fundraising events including the annual \u201cGimme Shelter Gala\u201d. When I\u2019m not writing or attending events, you can find me playing trains with my nephews, trying to make a dent in the ever-growing stack of books everyone says I should read, enjoying a good cup of tea or catching a Zumba fitness class!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca"],"url":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/author\/amy-stevenson"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2491","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2491"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2491\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2491"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2491"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2491"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
