I’m joined by my friend, the brilliant Romina Kwong (she/her), who is tackling event sustainability as both the founder and lead consultant at her business, Eco-Friendly Events, and as a teacher at Seneca College where she has co-created a micro-credential for Foundations of Sustainability in Event Management.
We talked about…
The most influential factors on your event’s ecological footprint, and what you can do to mitigate their impact;
Who is responsible for making an event eco-friendly - the vendors, the planners, or the marriers?
How to do your best to be eco-responsible while still staying true to your wedding vision;
The connection between eco-responsibility and feminism;
What a wedding planned with sustainability in mind might look like!
This episode is just the tip of the iceberg, so I encourage you to follow Romina on Instagram @ecofriendly.events and check out her website: www.ecofriendlyevents.ca. Romina doesn’t plan weddings, but if you want her eyes on your event plan (or, as a vendor, on your business!) you can book a consult with her directly.
Find me on Instagram, where I answer all of my DM'S, and check out my website to see how you can get me as your personal wedding coach!

T. Lees candles - locally made and woman-owned! Love them.
I shouted out @flourishandknot, a Montreal florist I worked with on this styled shoot (photographed by Pam McKay) for her efforts to be eco-responsible and for teaching me about pinfrogs! #nofloralfoam
@flowermoxie - a florist who teaches wedding DIY and ships flowers to you (right now, only in the United States) for small weddings. I really don’t recommend DIYing your florals for most people but I’ve seen a few smaller weddings (70-100 guests max!) do this with success, especially when they managed their expectations appropriately ;)
Romina brought up something I said in a recent episode of The Feminist Wedding Podcast. It’s this one: The Right Way to Negotiate With Your Wedding Vendors (Without Pissing Them Off)
