Elaine and Tong met in September 2016 through mutual friends at a gala dinner. A year later, Tong proposed at Bisha Hotel Toronto, creating a magical evening with a live band, stunning flowers, and a photographer capturing the special moment. Tong had secretly ordered “the one” engagement ring from Harry Winston, having it shipped to a friend’s place to keep the surprise intact. They were married at Toronto’s Granite Club, with Fleur Weddings and Events handling the planning and design, led by Erin Zhang and Flora Peng. Infinitude Design, owned by Flora, provided the beautiful floral arrangements.

The couple loves music, so a Jazz trio played during cocktail hour. To further entertain guests, experiences included an interactive corsage and boutonniere bar. A painter from China drew each family’s portrait and placed it onto a glass wall to use as the seating plan. “We had also prepared a photo frame to put the painting in to let guests take home as their wedding favors,” shares event planner Erin Zhang.

The music-loving couple also hired a four-piece band for their after-party. “We set up the band behind the draping on the big stage, and when the drapes started to open slowly, and the band dropped the first beat, everyone was surprised and started dancing!” shares Erin. “It was a very memorable moment for everyone!”
