Whew… where do we even begin?! 😭✨💜
Sip & Paint 3.0 was an absolute dream.
140 amazing people.
One beautiful room.
So much laughter, connection, creativity, and pure joy.
The energy was unmatched.
The outfits were stunning.
The drinks were flowing.
The paintings were incredible.
And the vibes? Simply unforgettable. 🎨🍹✨
Three years ago, this event was born during a season when I needed a safe space to breathe, heal, and reconnect with myself, to create a space where women and men could breathe, heal, and just be has grown into something so much bigger than we ever imagined.
Seeing a sold-out room filled with smiling faces, meaningful conversations, and so much love was a moment I’ll treasure for a very long time.
To every single person who bought a ticket, brought a friend, sponsored, partnered, volunteered, and cheered us on — thank you. You helped turn a vision into a truly magical experience. 💕
This was more than an event.
It was community.
It was healing.
It was magic. ✨
My heart is so full.
And if you missed this one… let’s just say you’re going to want to be in the room next time 😉✨

Ever wonder what $2K, $5K, or $10K actually covers when planning an event?
Not Pinterest dreams or IG illusions — I’m talking real-life, real-prices, real-Edmonton kind of planning 💼
✨ I’ve been working on a FREE Event Budget Guide that breaks down what’s actually possible at different budget levels — including food, venue, decor, and yes, even DJ & MC fees (because good vibes aren’t free 😅).
If you’ve got an event on the horizon and you want to plan with less stress and more clarity…
👇🏾 Drop “YES PLEASE” in the comments and I’ll make sure you get early access when it’s ready!
Let’s stop guessing and start planning smarter 💚

🚩 Not every client is a good fit — and that’s okay.
At Sweet Mint Events, we believe in clear communication, mutual respect, and a collaborative planning process. Over time, we’ve learned that certain red flags early on can signal a stressful planning experience for everyone involved.
This post outlines some of those red flags—not to call anyone out, but to educate and protect the planning process.
Because the best events happen when both the client and the planner feel heard, valued, and aligned.

You planned the event — but who’s running it?
That’s where a Day-Of Coordinator comes in.
We’re not there to decorate, carry rentals, or guess your vision.
We’re there to execute it. Flawlessly.
Whether you’ve planned everything yourself or hired a full-service planner, someone needs to manage the actual day — timelines, vendors, setup, hiccups, and all the moving parts you shouldn’t be stressing over.
P.S. If you’ve hired a planner, they may already serve as your coordinator — but not always. Ask, confirm, and plan ahead.
✨ Let’s make your day smooth, beautiful, and stress-free — like it should be.

What does a planner actually do? Let’s clear that up.
There’s a common misconception that hiring a planner means you’ve hired a one-woman army to do everything.
Nope.
A planner is there to coordinate, manage, and guide — not to lift décor, deliver rentals, or do ten jobs for one rate.
If your budget doesn’t include extra hands, we’ll always do our best to support where we can — but that support is a choice, not a requirement.
✨ Respect the role. Trust the process. Let’s create something beautiful, together.

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between an event planner and an event coordinator? 🤔
