REAL WEDDING Aleem & Victor

REAL WEDDING Sabrina & Sam

STAR POWER Aleem and Victor made it their mission to ensure their guests felt like stars. From red-carpet interviews with Vancouver personalities Fred Lee and Rachel Beau to dozens of musical acts and performances, white-glove service, endless hors d'oeuvres and cocktails, and photographers capturing every moment for a jumbo LED screen, the event was nothing short of star-studded. With over 40 musical performances— including an award-winning and Juno- nominated artist, a choir, a quartet, duos, a 12-piece band, a jazz musician, and an opera singer—an entertainment coordinator managed the technical aspects of the evening.

STORIED DETAILS After dinner, Aleem and Victor made a re-entry to the reception, led by a saxophonist, unveiling their third set of looks. Designed in collaboration with Eduardo Ramos, these outfits featured hand-embroidered lace, silk, and diamante details layered with pieces from Denis Gagnon’s collection. Additional combinations were showcased in their Feature Film Love Story, screened on large-format projectors and TVs in the courtyard.

EQUAL PARTNERSHIP Before the reception kicked off, the couple changed into their bolder, second looks by Denis Gagnon. Bows, lapels, and pockets were contrasted in satin textures, with design elements from their ceremony looks—such as the signature bow—reimagined in black. Victor’s outfit featured a removable cape, while Aleem’s included a detachable 7-foot skirt, symbolizing their complementary and equal partnership. The outfits were specifically curated to create a dramatic "WOW" moment as Aleem and Victor re-entered their wedding reception. At the same time, the removable elements allowed for greater comfort during the seated dinner and festivities that followed.
