Lynzie Kent- Love by Lynzie Events & Design Inc. and The Pop-Up Chapel Co. 

Our next few blogs will be a bit different,

With things being slower at Chair Decor due to COVD, we thought we should take the opportunity to interview a few planners who have a lot of experience and knowledge to share with the event industry. 

 

Garine: Hello! My name is Garine, I am the social media manager and marketing manager at Chair decor. I wanted to first start by asking you a couple basic questions before we get started. What is your name, and the name of your company.

 

Lynzie:  Lynzie Kent- Love by Lynzie Events & Design Inc. and The Pop-Up Chapel Co. 

 

Garine: How long have you been in the industry? 

 

Lynzie: Over 20 years now! Since I was 16 years old. 

 

Garine: That is absolutely amazing! At such a young age. What have your experiences been during COVID.

 

Lynzie:  Covid has meant reduced events over 2020. We’ve seen a significant loss in revenue and clients and we’ve also dealt with the emotional response to COVID from our valued clients. We’ve been faced with the challenge of guiding clients through this extremely challenging time with compassion, while also going through an emotional reaction of our own to the loss and change. It’s also meant changing out processes, exploring virtual planning solutions, exploring micro wedding planning solutions and developing new processes that support our clients and our company in the new norm. 

 

Garine: COVID has been difficult for not only event industry members, but also their own clients. It’s incredibly empathetic of you to help clients by guiding them through the process. what do thing the long term impact of COVID will have on the wedding/event industry” what does this mean for the future of the event industry.?

 

Lynzie: I believe the long term effects of COVID will be generally positive. Even though immediately there has been a significant loss, I believe COVID will push the event industry into the future by challenging professionals to learn and grow new skill sets. I also believe that the wedding industry was already changing prior to COVID. We’ve been running the Pop-Up Chapel Co. for over 4 years now and we knew that the trend toward smaller, more intimate weddings was growing as we’d married over 100 couples through this concept pre-COVID. I think the future of weddings is smaller, more intimate celebrations with higher quality decor, design and food/beverage. I think COVID has accelerated this change and given couples perspective on how to keep these celebrations going with the people the love most. I talk about this in a lot more detail in our upcoming podcast on an episode specifically about why I think COVID is going to actually be amazing for our industry. 

 

Garine: I love the way your perspective is on such a disheartening experience. Extremely admirable! Are there any exciting new projects you’d like to share!

 

Lynzie: YES! We are launching The Love by Lynzie Podcast this fall- our podcast will be all about redefining the wedding and event industry for the modern bride and event pro. We’ll discuss everything from event design, planning, societal pressures, mental health, sustainability and inclusivity in the industry. I’m really excited about this project because it’s an opportunity to share our unique perspective on planning with our audience and we’ll be welcoming guests from the wedding and event industry from all corners of the world. We’ve also recently expanded The Pop-Up Chapel Co. across Canada and are now hosting chapels in Toronto, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Vancouver and Hamilton. NYC and Chicago are next! Finally Love by Lynzie has been pushed out of our box and we’ve been quoting, planning and exploring unique event concepts for corporate clients like Drive-In Nights, Pop-Up Branded Activations and Outdoor Socially Distanced client appreciation events. We’re here for the COVID challenge and ready to take it on head first. 

 

Garine: Thank you so much for sharing your time, your experience and your extremely positive attitude! We are so excited to see you continue to grow and make so many couples happy.

Chair Decor Products

At Chair Décor we take pride in holding ourselves to the highest standard in customer service, timely deliveries, hygiene and our rental items’ quality and variety; the list goes on as much as our desire to satisfy our customer does. Today, we’ll be going over our products and what makes them so special to help everyone understand the sheer amount of selection available!

Part of our variety includes a vast selection of chairs, from chiavari to florence, with a wide amount of maneuverability between the colours of the chairs and their interchangeable coloured pads. Furthermore, we also have chair covers typically used for banquet chairs or folding chairs. Finally, to add a bit more pop to your already extremely customizable chair, we offer bows and bands as an aesthetic cherry on top for your event. Throughout these many options of beautiful colours and combinations we’re sure that you’ll find the ones that make your event unique and gorgeous.

An equally important addition to any event is table linens and decor; these linens come in many shapes and sizes and include the covering of different sized square, rectangle, and circular shaped tables. These linens typically rest eloquently at floor-level, the most recent and sleek trend. The many styles you have to choose from include simple polyester, shiny and matte satins, beautiful detailing and sparkling sequins. Feel free to check out our online selection to get an idea of what you’re looking for! Our overlays are similar to our linens; with many different patterns and styles, you’ll have a great selection to choose from, whether you’re looking for a topper or a floor length overlay.

If you’re looking to keep your linens simple, we suggest a runner; these lay elegantly across the center of the table and come in many different colours and styles too, with our most popular being the sheer runner; it looks like a beautiful cloud that’s rolling across your table.

Finally, we have the newest addition to our inventory over the past couple years, which are two very important rental items; chargers and cutlery. We’ve found that a lot of customers want a “one stop shop” for all their event planning needs, and we try our best to accommodate this desire by carrying each and every detail that you’re looking for. The chargers are stunning and come in acrylic, wooden, and glass, all of which have gorgeous designs that truly elevate your event beyond the norm. The cutlery also adds a nice flair and can be customized to fit specific themes and desired atmospheres; the devils in the details!

If you have any questions regarding the finer details of how to plan your event – we’re always happy to help and share in the experience of making an incredible event!
