As planners, we&#8217;re mostly acting behind the scenes and so rarely do we get the opportunity to socialize and network with one another. With this in mind, it&#8217;s always great to get together, talk shop, enjoy each others&#8217; successes and catch up. It also doesn&#8217;t hurt that each kick-off is beautifully appointed and full of delicious food and drink.

I'm an utter romantic - I love every detail that goes into planning the perfect wedding.

When I'm not working on fab events, I love to kick back with a good book, or create a culinary delight in my kitchen.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/events-by-whim","eventsbywhim","https:\/\/x.com\/eventsbywhim"],"url":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/author\/alisha-chadee"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39323","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\/31"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39323"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39323\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":169330,"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39323\/revisions\/169330"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39323"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39323"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39323"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
