Embrace Weddings
Full-service wedding catering and planning across Ontario, led by WPIC-certified planner Renee Foote and Red Seal Chef Igor Shneider.
About
Embrace Weddings creates what they call spectacular celebrations that combine refined cuisine, sophisticated styling, and detailed planning. Rather than juggling multiple vendors, couples work with one expert team from start to finish. Renee brings 30 years of event and wedding experience alongside formal training from the Wedding Planner Institute of Canada. She manages your timeline and orchestrates both logistics and atmosphere, guiding you through every phase from pre-wedding setup through your final dance. Chef Igor, trained as a Red Seal Certified Chef and former Executive Chef at the Hilton Ajax, focuses on memorable menus built from fresh, local Canadian ingredients. He believes in uncompromised execution and attention to detail rather than trendy flashiness.
The team specializes in tented weddings on private property and offers three menu profiles: Contemporary (emphasizing local, sustainable ingredients), Refined Rustic, and Luxurious Legacy. Couples can choose from suggested menus or have Chef Igor custom-craft something entirely new. Embrace also provides wedding management and complete planning services, including vendor recommendations for florals, lighting, furniture, graphics, and transportation. They serve refined celebrations across Ontario at private residences, cottage estates, and various regions including Hamilton, Muskoka, Prince Edward County, and greater Toronto.
