Heidi and Rodney Dream Wedding

April 29 2016

I wanted to share this beautiful and heartfelt story with you as I am hoping you may further share it in the hopes of inspiring others and spreading the news of #HelpHeidiBeatCancer

We read this story in January, montreal.ctvnews.ca/mobile/for-couple-coping-with-cancer-an-amazing-new-year-s-day-proposal-1.2720702

It resonated with me, for many reason, I am originally from Montreal, I reside in Newmarket and I am in my 30's with children. It hit me hard. I immediately contacted Rodney through Help Heidi Beat Cancer Go Fund Me Page gofundme.com/heidimoore and found his email. My husband Mark and I owners of O.M.G. Events Inc offered our services for decor for whenever they were ready to tie the knot- Rodney wrote us back the next day, thanking us but said that they had to put it off due to hospital expenses. Mark and I decided that evening we were going to try to gather up as many people as possible to do something special for them. We took to action and called out to our preferred in house Dream Team #Onestopshop, each and everyone of them instantly accepted. We then set up a face book group and sent out countless social media postings The news of Heidi And Rodney snowballed. Mark and I couldn't believe what we accomplished in such a short amount of time,and how, all our vendors accepted in a heart beat, what a difference we all made in this couples life- as they made in ours. By day three of rallying, so many more industry experts wanted to be involved and we

as a group of 30 business managed to offer Heidi and Rodney a complete wedding from A to Z aside from complete decor and flowers, Heidi's wedding dress was offered by Ferre Sposa, All Suits by Andrews Formal. Custom Head Piece by Blair Nadeau, beautiful jewelry for the bride and the whole 10 person bridal party (Accessories by Talia) gorgeous wedding bands from The Diamond Boi, Picture perfect venue, scrumptious catering and the friendliest staff from O' Maileys Catering, late evening tacos from

The Road Grill Food Truck, A rock star 22 passenger Hummer Limo (Lavish Limo) free of charge, every detail was taken care of, totaling approximately $65,000.00 so that they can take whatever money they have and put it towards Heidi's very expensive treatment. When we broke the news to Rodney of what we as a wedding industry wanted to do, First- he thought this was a prank, and we were putting him on, even asking why we were doing this- All I could say is "Because we want to". When we invited Both Rodney and Heidi to our showroom this being the first time we all meet, Our whole team of ten vendors were in attendance along with a table full of delicious food and champagne- They sat down and at that moment realized this is really happening, however still in disbelief that everything was taken care of, We wanted to keep it very upbeat and focus on the joys of planning- Heidi was stress free and enjoyed every moment every appointment every surprise treat from random strangers- It was a wonderful and welcomed distraction for Heidi- The Wedding was this Friday April 29th 2016- Ceremony and reception held at Madsen's Greenhouse in Newmarket. Heidi, Rodney and their children were just glowing, Even though it is a difficult situation for the couple and families there was no somber moments, just happiness, laughter, tears of joy, happiness filled the room last night-

Heidi and her 9 women bridal party entered the space looking radiant a very special thank you to Onsite Beauty co- The day went off without a hitch thanks to Your Perfect Day By Jess and her team. The day was captured by Boundless Weddings and filmed by non other than Henjo Films. We couldn't have added anything more from the high energy level of Illegal Sound group who had the guest on the dance floor all evening- a cotton candy cart and fun attendant that greeted guest during cocktail hour, an extensive sweet station that made children and adults alike cross eyed, from fancy pasteries to designer popcorn (Made With Love, Things of Beauty, The Sweetest Thing Cakes, Toronto Popcorn Company, Cake Pop Lane) a fun and amusing photo booth (Wonderwalls), to professional ballroom dancers who graced the floor (Sunset Dance Art), and live paint artist Olga Pankova Gioia who quietly painted the magical scene of the couples first dance, such a wonderful keepsake.
