CEREMONY
IN BLOOM
Ilana and Jason’s traditional Jewish
ceremony, officiated by Eva Goldfinger, took
place on a stone patio overlooking beautiful
Lake Joseph. The couple recited their vows
under a gorgeous chuppah created by
rachel a. clingen wedding & event
design comprised of four, custom-made
trees covered with a canopy of lush flowers
and foliage. “Rachel wanted to ensure the
chuppah complemented the natural setting
of Muskoka while still looking luxurious and
enchanting,” says Ilana. “It was mesmerizing.”

reception hosted inside the boathouse.

to prepare the property for the event,
including fully covering the boat slips to
provide enough space for cocktail hour.

guests to the space with champagne.

lemonade and fruit-infused water for guests
