wedding, but didn’t know where to begin in finding one. Fortunately,we soon attended a wedding that the Danny Kramer Band played at,and we knew they were our band! Danny was professional and easyto work with right from the beginning. We gave him the names of afew of our absolute favourite songs, our favourite styles of music, andas well the general goal of our reception - a multi-generational danceparty. I am truly not exaggerating when I say that there was not onesquare inch of available dance floor for the entire four hours that the

band played. We were sohappy that the band playeda mix of songs that everyage of guest enjoyed - frommy 6-year-old cousin to myhusband’s 90-year-oldgrandmother; nobody couldbring themselves to sit downfor a break. It was by far themost fun evening I have everhad in my life.

Setting the mood with light for your special dayBy REBECA KUROPATWA

You have the date set, the venue, photographer, and catererbooked for your wedding. Now what? How can you make yourwedding stand out and be a day you can look back on and trea-

sure forever? Setting the mood should be next on your to do list. And, while most

people may choose to do that simply with music, you may choose tokick it up a notch with lighting – lighting that will highlight yourvenue, add some personal touches, help your photographer takeexceptional photos, and set the stage for a once-in-a-lifetime party.

That is where an event lighting company like Winnipeg’s EventLightcan come in, bringing years of experience with lighting and eventpower management.

EventLight offers full event production, but its speciality is in light-ing, according to Cameron Friesen, company co-owner. Friesen start-ed up the business almost five years ago, along with business partner,Kyle Heinrichs.

“We started more on the wedding side, but now we do everythingfrom concerts, to festivals, corporate events, bat mitzvahs, Halloween,and birthday parties,” said Friesen. “On the wedding side, specifical-

ly, we usually start with up lighting – the firstentryway for any wedding. And that’s solelybecause it’s the most budget-friendly and canchange the whole atmosphere of the roomquickly, and it’s easy to customize.”

With their unique approach to pricing -based on the number of lights used,EventLight is able to customize lighting basedon the venue. “You want to highlight archi-tectural elements,” said Friesen. “If you’re inthe Fort Gary Hotel, for instance, it’s a differ-ent architectural theme than if you’re in theGates on Roblin.”

When planning an outdoor event, a com-ponent people may not think of is all theelectrical power each aspect of the event willneed – another area where EventLight excels.

“Not everyone understands what’s neededfor all the vendors,” said Friesen. “It’s notonly lighting, but the DJ with music, a band,a bar, or coffeemakers that draw a ton ofpower.

“We have a very good understanding of thatand can provide the power with a commer-cial-grade generator. And we do all thepower drops needed for everyone, ensuringeveryone has a plug to plug into. Also, dur-ing the event, we have someone there, mon-itoring the generator and the power to ensurethere are no hiccups.”

Three words define the St. Charles Country Club wedding experi-ence: elegant, intimate and unforgettable. However, there’sanother reason why the happy couple should choose one of

Canada’s premiere private country clubs, founded in 1904, whenplanning how to celebrate the big day.

“The tranquility, the oasis that this property is within the city ofWinnipeg, the beautiful grounds, lush gardens, manicured landscap-ing and the clubhouse that overlooks the Assiniboine River,” CameronGray, notably in his 25th year as General Manager, says, when askedwhat makes the St. Charles unique. “The location is absolutely bril-liant in terms of accessibility, and you feel the peacefulness as soon asyou drive down Country Club Boulevard to arrive here.”

Unlike many other locales, only one event is booked per day, ensur-ing that longtime Food and Beverage Manager Tyler Scammell and hisService Team, with the Culinary Team headed by award-winningExecutive Chef Takashi Murakami, CM, (retiring this spring after 42years) can devote their full attention to the wedding party and theirguests.

St. Charles Country Club is also versatile, easily able to accommo-date up to 250 guests in its breathtaking garden setting for an outdoorceremony, or 180 seated in the Clubhouse. Its tastefully designedponds, fountains, fire pits and groomed flowerbeds also create anideal backdrop for “Kodak moments,” thus eliminating the need forthe wedding party to scramble to an off-site locale for photos. And,should rainclouds burst, everything can be moved easily and quicklyindoors with minimal disruption.

The Veranda/Inner Lounge, with sweeping views of the golf course,can seat up to 250 guests for a traditional formal dinner, or 350 for astandup cocktail style reception. More intimate weddings are alsovery much welcomed. Many a blushing bride and her attendants, afterpreparing in the upstairs, quaintly monikered “Powder Room” havemade a grand entrance descending the Club’s legendary oak spiral

staircase, located opposite one of two massive stone fireplaces thatflank the large dance floor.

And then - of course - there is food, glorious food. “It’s absolutely remarkable,” Gray replies, when asked to describe

the cuisine, served on St. Charles crested fine-bone china, withsparkling glassware and silver flatware considered among the finest inthe city. “We focus on excellence in everything that we do at the Club,and the time and care associated with the procurement, handling andpreparation of each ingredient that creates your personalized menu isastonishing.”

Couples are invited to partake of pre-wedding meal tastings as well.The Club also provides a list of trusted vendors, including cake cre-ators, florists, photographers, disc jockeys and bands that help stream-line the planning process and calms jittery nerves.

Those with long memories might recall the inglorious days whenseveral of the city’s elite establishments did not welcome Jews.However, Gray quickly assures that the St. Charles has now warmlyembraced members of Winnipeg’s Jewish community for many years,including hosting Jewish life cycle events: B'nai Mitzvah parties andFriday night Shabbat dinners, as well as an ever-growing number ofJewish weddings.

“As time goes by, our cultural diversity has greatly expanded andthis hasn’t really been a topic of conversation for quite some time,” hestates, adding that the Club caters to people – members and non-members – from a wide variety of backgrounds and ethnicities on ayear-round basis.

To respect a couple's wish for a kosher-style meal, St. Charles offersa variety of vegetarian and fish options, as its expansive kitchen is nota kosher one. A full range of service is offered, including buffet andfull-course sit-down meals, including up to three entrées, or horsd’oeuvres cocktail receptions. The Club provides either fully hosted orcash bar service of its own wine and spirits, and does not charge cork-age fees.

Complimentary services include:ample parking, white “signature”table linens and 15 different colournapkins, cake cutting, cookie dis-playing, A/V equipment, votive can-dles, and use of the bridal partyroom. Valet parking is available foran additional cost, with an elevatorlift installed in 1993 to ensure fullaccessibility for all.

For those who haven’t visited theClub in recent years, another pleas-ant surprise is in store. St. Charlesunderwent extensive renovations in2016, including a completelyupgraded A/V system with state-of-the-art LCD equipment, and discreet,multiple screens for PowerPoint pre-sentations to show the couple’sromantic journey. “It’s now at a very,very modern standard,” Gray says.“The charm and warmth of theClubhouse is still there, but has beenmelded with modernization that isexpected today.”

One question often on the lips ofwedding parties is whether a brideand groom need to be members ofthe Club. Absolutely not, says Gray.And, once a couple signs on the dot-ted line after first making contactwith Scammell, the date is yours andcannot be “bumped” by existingmembers. Gray and his team willthen begin doing whatever is neededto make sure a couple’s big day is aone-of-a-kind experience andresounding success - including onefinal, all-important detail.

“I’ll even throw in the glass tobreak” (if it’s a Jewish wedding), hesays with a laugh.

Micro Weft Extensions at SETSMicro Weave: It eliminates braids and tracks, and provides faster, more effective, and longerlasting results.

The advantage of this new method is the hair can be re-tightened every month, so that the weft extensions feel secureall the time, as opposed to other methods, which requires taking them all out, and restarting again.

The weft hair extensions can be re-used many times. We usually use and suggest using remy hair and virgin hair. Theremy hair has been colored and processed from the factory to make it soft and tangle free.

It lasts 6-8 months, whereas the virgin hair is unprocessed, the hair is very healthy and it can last more than one year.

Jewish wedding gift do’s and don’ts By Jacob Kamaras/JNS.org

Not another challah board! That’s the col-lective cry heard ’round the Jewishworld when newlyweds receive a

Judaica gift they already possess. Don’t bethat friend—follow my simple do’s and don’tsfor Jewish wedding gifts.

DO…Be creative

There are inventive spins on Judaica itemsthat are sure to leave a more lasting impres-sion than their traditional counterparts.Kiddush cup? How about a Kiddush cupfountain instead? It includes a center cup aswell as 8-12 matching small cups, and whenthe reciter of Kiddush pours the wine fromthe center cup into the base of the fountain,the wine trickles down into the small cups.This avoids the clumsiness of pouringKiddush wine for each person at a largeShabbat meal, and perhaps more importantly,the streamlined process routinely elicits“oohs” and “aahs” from guests. Challahboard? How about a challah board breadbas-ket? This challah board transforms itself into a basket for distributingchallah to guests after it is cut, keeping the Shabbat table uncluttered.

Think practicallyMull over this question: What Judaica does the couple really need

around the house? More specifically, what does the couple need morethan one of? A mezuzah (with a decorative case) immediately comesto mind, given the multiple doorposts in Jewish homes calling for one.

Even more practical—and more memo-rable—is providing the glass cup that thegroom will break with his foot under thechuppah, along with a broken wedding glassmezuzah, whose case includes room forthose sentimental shards.

Give cashAre you thinking that cash isn’t sentimental

enough, and that the couple won’t “remem-ber you” if you don’t give a unique gift? Don’ttalk yourself into that myth. You’ll be remem-bered quite fondly for your cash gift, withwhich the newlyweds can buy anything theydesire.

DON’T…Be a copycat

The couple will likely get multiple challahboards, challah covers, menorahs, sederplates, and the like. Don’t join the fray. Beoriginal. Now, I admit, it would be quiteunfortunate if everyone followed my adviceand the couple ended up with none of thesehallowed Judaica fixtures.

Compete with close relativesThe couple’s parents or other close relatives may purchase them sil-

ver Shabbat candlesticks or a Kiddush cup, or the bride and groommay have had these items passed down in their family over time.Don’t even think for a second that you can compete with bubbe andzaidy!

Second-time brides share what to wear for your special day By MAAYAN JAFFE-HOFFMAN/JNS.org

Every bride wants her wed-ding day to be special,whether it’s her first or

second nuptials. There aremany more considerations thesecond time around. Often,there are children involved.Usually, the couple is payingfor the ceremony on their own,so finances can factor in more.There’s also the question ofwhat was done the first timeand how you want to makewedding No. 2 the same—ortotally different.

But there’s one topic thatevery bride-to-be considers:what to wear. When a womangets married the first time, it’straditional to wear a whitebridal gown. Of course, there’s a variety of dresses, but generally sheknows—within a range—what she’s looking for.

For wedding No. 2? The message from second-time Jewish bridesand their stylists is that anything goes.

“The bride should wear what she feels most comfortable in,” saysNicole Borsuk of Nicole Borsuk Personal Shopper in Atlanta, Ga. “Itall depends on the bride.”

Melinda Michel of Baltimore remarried in June 2015 at the age of48. She says she used Pinterest to start her bridal dress search.

“I thought it was really fun shopping for wedding dresses, andPinterest was like virtual window shopping,” Michel says, noting thatwhen she explored the virtual photo shop she discovered weddinggowns, bridesmaid dresses, and cocktail attire in a variety of colorsand cuts.

Duplicate the registryThis goes for non-Judaica

items, and was a major pet peeve for me when I got married in 2013.“Duplicating” the couple’s registry—for instance, getting dishes orsilverware not listed on the registry—ensures three infuriating out-comes:

1) You’re getting the couple something they don’t need, becausesomeone more compliant than you will (wisely) buy the dishesrequested on the registry.

2) The couple won’t be able to exchange your redundant gift forsomething they do need because it came from a store unbeknownstto them.

3) Your gift will enter the notorious “re-gift closet.” This creates avicious cycle. By re-gifting your gift, the couple repeats your error ofgifting an unregistered standard household item. The gift proceeds tobe re-gifted for perpetuity.

Here’s a dirty little secret: For couples, the point of making a reg-istry is not just to get all the household items they need, but also tocreate the potential to exchange a string of registry items for moreexpensive items that you wouldn’t have the gall to put on the reg-istry… like acouch. Whyshould yourunwanted gift thatcannot be returnedspoil the couple’sefforts to imple-ment this wonder-ful strategy?

Honestly, theseare all just point-ers. Any gift isdeeply appreciat-ed, and it’s thethought thatcounts. At the endof the day, it isn’tthe presents, butyour presence—atthe wedding, ifyou can be there,or through yourcontinued friend-ship—that matters.

For one, bridesmaid dressesare significantly cheaper—usu-

ally as much as 50 percent less expensive than a bridal gown. Theystill have that “bridal party feel,” without the virgin princess look. Andthere could be more options to fit the bride’s taste.

“I don’t know that my taste was as defined at 23 as it is now,” saysMichel of the difference between shopping for her dress the first andsecond times around.

Shari Klein, 50, seconds that notion. Remarried in June 2015 in NewYork, she ended up with a white bridesmaiddress deeply emblazoned with silver bead-ing. She says that for two months, she wentsearching for the perfect ensemble. Her mar-ried daughters helped, sending her picturesand suggestions whenever they found some-thing that might work for the blazing read-head.

“I needed something that was a little atypi-cal and that fit my personality—sexy and flir-ty and fun, but I didn’t want to look like agrown-up trying to be a kid,” says Klein,whose dress ultimately gave her that“princess feel” she desired, effusing a combi-nation of modesty, sophistication, and beau-ty. She found the dress two days before herwedding.

In contrast to Klein’s white, Michel’s dresswas a blush pink. She says she knew the clos-est she would get to white was ivory, and inher searches she explored the gamut of col-ors, considering navies and burgundies if shewere to have a winter wedding, and later aseries of summer hues.

Nicole Borsuk sayssecond-time bridesoften opt for theirfavorite colors orones they know lookgood on them. Shehas helped bridesfind dresses intrendy seasonal col-ors, including brightand vibrant colors.For example, pinkquartz is in now, andshe has seen manybrides opting forthat. There’s also apopular cool bluethat’s making its wayto the dress scene—and is now availablefor second-timebrides and brides-maids.

Fair-skinned bridesshould go with pas-tel colors so thatthey don’t becomewashed out by theirdress. Olive-skinnedbrides can go morevibrant, Borsuk says,noting, “Orange isreally in. So is fuch-sia.”

“To your first wed-ding, you invite theworld. To your sec-ond wedding, youare very choosy inwho you share itwith. It also a cele-bration of who youare,” says Klein.“That was the day.That was thedress.…It was per-fection.”
