“We found Lake Shore Dance Academy about 2 years ago in a total panic. With only six weeks until our wedding and zero dance experience between us, the thought of performing in front of a crowd was terrifying. In just a few short weeks, Anna managed to take us from absolute beginners to confidently nailing a fun Rumba that completely shocked our friends and family! Apparently, the chaos of our wedding dance wasn't enough to deter us, because 2 years later, we are still at it with Anna. Since that first dance, she has continued to push us out of our comfort zones in the best ways possible. We’ve progressed from wedding prep, to performing a fully-costumed Viennese Waltz showcase, to recently completing our third official dance competition! Dance has added so much to our lives. For me as someone who works from home as a software developer, it’s the perfect physical outlet to disconnect from stress. For my wife, it has been an incredible boost to confidence and self-expression. Most importantly, it’s given us a shared goal and a fun way to connect and problem-solve as a couple. Anna has a fun and light hearted personality yet manages to strike an effective balance of making lessons challenging, yet effective and rewarding. Whether you just want to survive your wedding dance or you want to eventually hit the competition floor, we can't recommend Lake Shore Dance Academy enough. We look forward to continuing our dance journey for years to come!”

“Scenting my clients’ weddings has been a total game changer! The fragrance is never overpowering and quickly masks any lingering venue odors (like food, old carpets, or dated furniture). I even used it for outdoor weddings and guest are always amazed it smells so good. For larger venues or outdoors, I’ve had the RTS team handle setup, while other times I rent and set it up myself (super easy with their step-by-step instructions). To get the most value, I use The Event package for both the ceremony and reception. I start it on a low setting for the ceremony, then move it to the ballroom at the start of cocktail hour—by the time guests arrive, the reception smells amazing.

For almost a century, Maison Gabrielle has embodied the subtle art of taste. Shaped over time between the great kitchens of Provence and Paris, our family house collaborates with chefs and restaurateurs across the world, offering the finest expressions of spices, herbs, aromatics, artisanal tea, infusions and gourmet delights — all deeply rooted in the grand tradition of French culinary savoir-faire. In 2024, Maison Gabrielle chose to open this heritage to a wider audience, sharing its expertise through an exceptional collection designed to elevate home cooking with the same precision and elegance found in the most refined restaurants.

“SO, this is a long review but very well worth it! We got married in New York City over Fourth of July weekend and had a big brunch party the day after the wedding. We had a build-your-own cream cheese shmear and bagel bar along with a "design your own tea bar," and we really wanted the tea station to be the centerpiece of the brunch. My vision was for the brunch to feel like a mix of NYC and Paris. I know Paris isn't necessarily known for tea like London is, but I trusted my vision because of all the beautiful "salons de thé" in Paris. I wanted guests to have something refreshing, elegant, and a little unexpected with breakfast. I found Maison Gabrielle on Instagram after seeing they created the signature tea for the Hôtel Martinez in Cannes. My now husband and I had stayed there on our pre-wedding trip, and I remember thinking, "How cool would it be if they were part of our wedding too?" At the time they weren't even on Zola, so I'm so happy they are now because more couples need to know about them. Our first exchange was so great! They were very upfront with us that timing was a bit short notice - but they would make it work as best as possible. We ordered cartons of their French Breakfast, Vanilla, Earl Grey and Green tea bags for our bartender to serve both iced and hot. We even had fruits, herbs, and different infusions set out so guests could customize their tea. To my surprise, almost everyone drank the teas exactly as they came. They didn't need anything extra, which really says something about the quality. We had so many people tell us it was the best tea they'd ever had. We also wanted to give every guest tea bags to take home in little organza sachets as an extra favor. Maison Gabrielle normally only does the sachets this with their gift tins, but when we shared our idea, they absolutely loved it and made every single sachet for us. We honestly thought we'd be sitting there assembling them ourselves, so this was such an amazing surprise. It saved us hours and hours of work, and any bride or groom knows how valuable that time is during wedding week. We had about 85 guests at brunch and ordered about six boxes of each tea, which was perfect. I wish we bought more though so we have years of stock. :-D The tea bar ended up being one of the most unique parts of our wedding weekend and something people still talk about. Maison Gabrielle made everything feel so elegant, chic, and special, but more importantly, they made us feel genuinely taken care of. They cared about our vision as much as we did, and that meant the world to us. I truly can't recommend them enough.”
