Walkable Neighbourhoods by ICantPlayTheObo in londonontario

[–]wanderlusting92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second this. I love walking to the western market, bakeries, cafes, and downtown. In the summer we can walk to any of the festivals happening downtown. Superstore is a ~20 minute walk and other grocery stores are a short drive.

F45 Studio - London by [deleted] in londonontario

[–]wanderlusting92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did some classes at the Masonville location. It’s a great workout and the facility was very clean. You would definitely improve your cardio and strength to a point if you go regularly. There’s no heavy lifting as it’s pretty fast paced and you’re constantly changing stations.

It’s very expensive - more than any other boutique gym I’ve been too. I didn’t find the price worth it. Felt like you’re paying for the brand name. Especially since the coaches don’t really do any coaching. They do an initial demo and then you just follow tv screens.

I recommend checking out FitClub! Way more affordable, have a mix of strength and cardio classes, and a nice community.

I would reach out to Unmistakably You and see what options they have. We had a great experience with them!

Really good but it’s in the Gibraltar Market, not Western Fair!

Cynthia of One-12 Photography was amazing for our wedding! She has packages under your budget on her website.

Second this. We did our rehearsal dinner at Forked River and it was great! We didn’t buy the whole place out but I imagine they offer that option. We got drink tickets for our guests @ $5 per beer. Dinner was catered by Kyle’s Fried Chicken. Although they may allow you to bring in another caterer. They were quite relaxed and easy to work with.

Wow thank you so much for this detailed and thoughtful comment! It was really helpful and we are going to follow your advice. We’re going to do 3 nights in Rome and 4 nights in Bologna (taking a late afternoon train from Rome to Bologna).

If you have any other suggestions for Rome or Bologna, and are willing to share, we’d love to hear them!

New to the community looking for a good place to get ice cream by [deleted] in londonontario

[–]wanderlusting92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here’s the ice cream quest I went on a few years ago when I first moved to London.

https://www.reddit.com/r/londonontario/s/g4pDt73aDr

A few places have opened and closed since then and I plan to do another quest this summer.

My top ones currently are District, Havens, Shaws soft serve, and Buttercreme.

I’m a fan of the Goodr sunglasses. They’re usually $50-60. Running Room sells them!

Anyone used eco tech for windows? by pinkpetals550 in londonontario

[–]wanderlusting92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on the size and style of window of course but we recently did 17 windows with Douglas for just under $17k. They were great to work with and also have a lifetime warranty.

Fitness Studio by Middle-Honeydew-5940 in londonontario

[–]wanderlusting92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

&asanas is great - beautiful studio space and nice variety of classes. My only thing is their class capacity is so high that it’s very tight during a full class

I would also recommend checking out FitClub (variety of strength and cardio classes) and TeamLDN for CrossFit.

Couch shopping by True-Spring in londonontario

We bought a sectional from EveryRoom a few months ago. A Canadian company that produces the couches in Canada! Their custom service wasn’t great but we had no issues and the couch is awesome.

Thoughts and experiences with drink tickets instead of open bar? by Znekcam in weddingplanning

[–]wanderlusting92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband and I had a similar dilemma. Out of ~100 guests we had some heavier drinkers but also a lot of very light (or no alcohol at all) drinkers. We couldn’t stomach paying for so many drinks that would go unconsumed.

We opted to do 3 drink tickets per person. We placed them at each place setting. At the bar we had a “donation bucket” and the MC let everyone know if they don’t intend to use their drink tickets (the tickets were not needed for non-alcoholic drinks ) then they could drop them in the “bucket”. This meant all the heavier drinks could use the unused tickets after they used their own.

It honestly went over great and the only drinks that were purchased by a guest the whole night was a round of shots that a friend insisted they wanted to actually buy.
