Thailand. Travelling from the north to the south, everywhere we stopped was magical. The culture sucks you right in and makes travelling across the globe completely worth it.
Kassandra Debattista
Co-Foudner & Creative Director
Kassandra has been planning weddings and events since 2016. She began her career in the events industry as an intern from her Special Events Planning Program at George Brown College where she later graduated and worked her way up to a Lead Planner, and now a Co-Founder of Be Our Guest Events Inc.

This allows her to really focus all of that passion on and for her clients to always ensure their special day is everything they've imagined and more. Her superpower when organizing events is her efficiency. She knows what needs to get done and is always the go to person to tackle any situation that stands in front of her clients. When Kassandra is not planning events, she’s spending time with her loved ones, or in a dance class continuing her life long passion for the arts.

Lazy Sunday's are the only option if I don't have an event.
Where I Spend The Most Money..
Amazon hands down is where I spend the most money...but it ties up next with gas because I need to drive to pick up half of my packages at a family members house, and can't make those trips without stopping at Starbucks.
(Everything happens in three's am I right?!)
Favourite Place In The World To Travel (To Date)..
Italy. Nothing beats the culture, and travelling across one of the oldest and most beautiful countries in the world... Not to mention, eating your way through each region and city is obviously the best part.
