Representing the Wedding Industry on a Global Stage: Our Experience as Ambassadors in Türkiye
We are incredibly honoured to have been featured in a recent interview on Thursd, by Regine Motmans, the floral connector of Thursd where we shared our insights as WPIC-certified Wedding Ambassadors representing Canada in beautiful Türkiye at Table Design Exhibition in Istanbul. The opportunity to represent our country and industry on a global platform is one that we hold close to our hearts, and one that perfectly aligns with the mission and values of Tracey M Events and WPIC Inc.
We had heard about the Table Design Exhibition over the years and were interested in attending. I met Meltem in Italy last year at a retreat in Campania and we bonded. She asked me to represent Canada as an Ambassador upon our return home, and of course, I jumped on this wonderful opportunity! We hope our coverage of it inspires more wedding professionals from Canada to attend in the future. It’s so important to see what other wedding professionals are doing in their countries and businesses to inspire us to do more, be more, and expand our creativity from it.
A Global Meeting of Creative Minds
Our time in Türkiye was more than just a professional experience, it was a cultural exchange and a celebration of what makes the global wedding and event industry so inspiring. Surrounded by wedding professionals from around the world, some who are dear friends of mine, we immersed ourselves in conversations about innovation, creativity, and the importance of collaboration. It was a chance to learn from each other, celebrate cultural diversity, and elevate the global standards of service and style.
Why This Matters to Our Clients
At Tracey M Events, we are always seeking out new inspiration, trends, and relationships that will directly benefit our couples. Being part of an international Ambassador program for Table Design Exhibition in Istanbul allows us to bring that global expertise back home. Whether we’re planning a wedding in Toronto or a breathtaking destination celebration abroad, our clients can feel confident knowing they have a team with international insight and experience.
Highlights from Our Ambassador Journey
- Networking with International Leaders: We connected with top-tier wedding professionals from Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and beyond, building relationships that allow us to curate incredible vendor teams for our clients, no matter where their dream wedding takes them.
- Showcasing Canadian Excellence: As proud representatives of WPIC (The Wedding Planners Institute of Canada), we had the opportunity to showcase what makes Canadian wedding planners unique; our professionalism, education, and passion for our craft.
- Experiencing Türkiyes Rich Hospitality: From the majestic architecture to the impeccable hospitality, Türkiye welcomed us with open arms. We explored some of the countrys most exquisite venues, which we now confidently recommend to our destination wedding clients.
Looking Ahead
This Ambassador experience was not just a moment in time, its part of our ongoing commitment to excellence, education, and global perspective. We are thrilled to continue building on these international relationships and to keep our fingers on the pulse of whats happening around the world in luxury weddings.
If you are dreaming of a destination wedding or want to incorporate global influences into your celebration, lets talk. We would love to bring our international experience and signature Tracey M touch to your big day.
