Type A Events was thrilled to have been invited back as event organizers of the fabulous National Home Show Opening Night Housewarming Party held this year on February 19th, 2010. Presented by CityLine and in support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation, this classic cocktail for a good cause brought us all a little warmth.

Hosted by CityLine's delightful Tracy Moore, with Special Guest Extreme Makeover: Home Edition's Ty Pennington, the event was filled with fun, fantastic tips and the occasional tipple. The talented and hilarious CityLine design team was also on hand, showing off their amazing Dream Home.

Taking place in the Home Show's beautifully designed Dream Gardens, a must see, our 450 attendants were treated to breathtaking landscape designs and architecture by candlelight. You could cozy up in a variety of features and nooks. Add on an amazing cake provided by Cakestars and a variety of delicate wines and hearty spirits provided by Toronto Wine and Spirits, and we were all in a bit of a dream. A nice place to be in dreary February.

Thanks to Denise, Shalini, Tina, Sarah and the entire National Home Show team for allowing Type A Events to be part of this special event.

Don't forget to visit the National Home Show, on until February 28th, 2010. Information can be found here.

It's Fall--Let's Party!

So many people are turning grumpy over the cold weather--I say a great big 'Welcome' as the cold weather kicks off my favourite party season: Holiday!

Whether it's a Fall Solstice party; a Halloween Fete; a Wedding; or a Corporate Blowout, the fall/winter season is a great time to get together with 5 friends or 500 and have a grand time...indoors.

Get those hot chocolate pots out and start planning. Planning early--and hirin a good event planner- will get you those deals and those (low budget) imaginative ideas.

We'll be posting some of our favourite ideas on holiday planning over the next couple of months so visit us often!

Happy Planning!

Wedding Season is Upon Us

Well before I knew it-it was here! Wedding Season is upon us once again. My favourite season of Tiaras and Tuxes is hitting it's stride. 

I wish all of you who are about to dive in to matrimony a happy adventure.

Here's my Wedding Tip:

If you can't afford to hire a wedding planner--enquire about whether the planner would be willing to be a consultant. Someone you can pay by the hour that you can bounce ideas off of. I often work with brides and grooms who just want to make sure they're on the right track. We'll meet for a cup of coffee and talk about what they've done, and have to do. Laid back and affordable. 

Happy Planning!

Conference Coordination: Ontario Working Group on Early Intervention in Psychosis

Type A Events was honoured to be the Conference Coordinator for the 5th consecutive year for the OWGEIP Conference.

Thank you to the amazing members (250 plus of you) of the Ontario Working Group on Early Intervention in Psychosis who travelled from all across Ontario to make it to Toronto. It was an absolute pleasure to work with such a dedicated group of people. 

The three-day Conference at the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel featured a keynote speaker from Australia was well as a number of experts from right here in Ontario.  

Coordinating this pivotal event was extremely rewarding.

See you next year!
