[field title=”Proposal Story”]In 2020, Daniel popped the question to Michelle at the enchanting Pearl Morisette vineyard and restaurant in Jordan, Ontario – a cherished spot for the couple.
Both avid wine collectors and connoisseurs, they are proud members of the vineyard’s exclusive wine club. Against the backdrop of a stunning vineyard bathed in the warm hues of sunset, Daniel knelt down, capturing the perfect moment with a discreet photographer on hand and a bottle of champagne chilling on ice.
Following this romantic proposal, they indulged in a lavish 6-course tasting menu with perfectly paired wines. The celebration continued at Daniel’s family home, where they shared the joyous occasion with their immediate family.[/field]

[field title=”Food & Drink”]For their welcome pizza party, Michelle and Daniel curated an authentic rendezvous with the heart of traditional Italian gastronomy. From the live wood-fired pizza, boasting an array of toppings, to the Mozzarella Bar offering this delicacy in various shapes and sizes, and a dedicated station featuring delectable Italian cured meats—freshly sliced raw ham taking the spotlight. The buffet was also rich in seasonal fruits and vegetables, a feast for the eyes.
Transitioning from aperitifs dominated by the popular Spritz cocktail, the dinner was elegantly complemented by a robust and intense Chianti Classico.
The Wedding Day:
During the aperitif, guests savored prosecco and champagne while indulging in sophisticated canapés in the villa’s beautiful garden, which overlooks Florence.
For the formal dinner, the couple decided on two pasta courses: Tortelli with cacio e pepe featuring crunchy Roman bacon and Paccheri fresh pasta with saffron cream, confit Pachino tomatoes, and asparagus tips. As the third course, the skilled chefs at Galateo offered guests a choice between Sea Bass with champagne and lemon, served alongside seasonal vegetables drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, and Beef Fillet with a Chianti Classico wine sauce, sage-infused roasted potatoes, and a crisp vegetable ratatouille.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]The floral arrangements exhibited an effortlessly spontaneous arrangement of lush greenery and solely white flowers. Unconventional and lavish compositions adorned the mirrored platform during the ceremony, allowing nature to take center stage and reflect itself.
For the dinner setup, on the two grand tables, alongside the flowers, silver candelabras with white candles and fruits like grapes and figs were incorporated. This was a nod to the essence of the “old world,” where celebrations were marked by opulent tables laden with abundance.
The bridesmaids’ “bouquets” were uniquely charming: romantic wicker bags from which blossoms emerged organically, creating the impression of an exceptionally elegant countryside picnic.[/field]

In line with the couple’s remarkable hospitality, Michelle and Daniel graciously hosted their guests on the eve of their wedding at an Italian-themed welcome evening. Set against the picturesque sunset of Florence, two extended tables were adorned with an array of delectable Italian cuisine. The catering team thoughtfully curated various tasting stations, including a dynamic “pizzeria,” continuously crafting delightful offerings. A quartet of musicians seamlessly blended with the lighthearted attendees, who gleefully serenaded each other with some of the world’s most renowned Italian songs.[/field]
