amantha kimel and jeffrey gottesman first met in university, but
it wasn’t until years later when they were reacquainted at a mutual
friend’s dinner party, (and after a “long chase,”) that samantha
agreed to go out with Jeffrey. Their engagement took place on what, at first, seemed
to be a regular night at home as the couple got ready to stay in and enjoy a movie
together. Much to Samantha’s surprise, instead of any old blockbuster, a proposal
video featuring Jeffrey singing an original song came on the screen! Needless to
say, after such a romantic gesture, Samantha said “yes!”
Samantha and Jeffrey hired Naomi Serkin of naomi serkin & associates
to provide full-service planning and design assistance for their September 6,
2015 wedding.
The ceremony took place at Beth Sholom Synagogue, where the couple recited
their vows under a magnificent chuppah draped by eventure custom
environments and event draping and designed by frank rea event
design - forget me not flowers oakville. Samantha’s family had worked
with Frank Rea on other family events over the years, including her bat mitzvah,
so she naturally felt confident in his ability.
Frank Rea and Naomi Serkin worked in harmony on the event design, conceptual
planning, decor rental selection and coordination for the entire event.
The reception was held at the bride’s family home in Toronto, Ontario where a
‘garden oasis’ was brought to life.
