oella sacks and jason bitton met in january of 2011 at a nightclub when
they were both students at the university of western ontario. “we
always joke that we found love in a hopeless place,” shares joella, which
later inspired their recessional song, Rihanna’s ‘We Found Love.’ Every February,
Joella and Jason visit Florida, but on their fourth annual trip, Jason had a special
surprise in mind. On their third night, Jason suggested they meet up with friends
at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach after dinner, but upon their arrival, the concierge
instead led them to a luxury suite that had been decorated with rose petals, candles,
balloons, and enlarged photos of the couple. Initially, Joella thought it was little
more than an early Valentine’s Day surprise, but then Jason got down on one knee
in a bed of rose petals with an engagement ring and asked her to spend the rest of
her life with him.
From day one, Joella knew that there was only one person she would want by her
side to plan her wedding, and that was Melissa Baum of melissa baum events, who
provided full-service planning and design assistance. Having attended university
together, Joella was very familiar with Melissa’s work and her eye for weddings
and knew she would be the perfect person to bring her dream of a “Winter Meets
Spring” wedding to life.
Joella and Jason were married on March 12, 2016 at the carlu, an oliver & bonacini
events and catering property built during the historic Art Deco era.
