One woman's experience planning—
then living—her dream nuptials under the
open sky of her in-laws backyard
By Jeremy Deutsch
some of the most stressful parts of planning a wedding involve
picking a venue for the reception. For Kate Brady, an events
manager by trade, she knew exactly what she wanted when it
was time to tie the knot in June 2015. Kate and her groom, John
muddiman, transformed his parents' oakville, ont., backyard into
the reception hall. While it wasn't particularly traditional, it was
ideal for the couple. the reception, which included 100 of their
closest friends and family, involved a plexiglass dance floor over a
pool and a few other unique touches along the way.
