Nicol and Associates | May 2010

Each month I highlight 2 business owners that I have met in person to hear their story in how they help people and run their businesses. I send it out to my clients, to remind them that I can help them in more ways than just their investments. This months recommendations are below.

AMANDA O’REILLY - Balance InStyle – Weddings InStyle – Events InStyle


Who are we? Balance InStyle came to be in 2007 after losing a good friend to Breast Cancer and I realized the real need in our community for the types of services that we are offering.

We are the first in Ottawa to provide lifestyle management solutions from leisure to luxury all the way down to the routine and mundane. We support you by taking care of an array of time-consuming daily tasks that could be weighing you down. Concierge services are today’s solution to today’s busy lifestyle. We help you organize anything that you do not have the time or the patience to do yourself. We have created a model to give relief to the growing population of the overburdened and time starved.

We personally guarantee that all of our vendors have the Balance InStyle seal of approval! We require everyone that we do business with be licensed, insured, and bonded where applicable. We always verify references and personally test drive each and every one of our vendor’s services to ensure that they are providing the quality of service that we are proud to recommend to our clients.

Weddings InStyle is the intimate alternative to weddings in the capital. Regardless of the size of your ceremony we will help you celebrate InStyle. Weddings InStyle is the new chic, hip one-stop wedding destination, conveniently located at 107 Murray Street in the heart of the Byward Market. Our 2000 sq. ft. intimate, well-appointed, modern space is the most unique wedding venue in Ottawa – a great alternative to the typical, non-descript, already-been-there-for-your-friend’s-wedding feeling most of the Ottawa banquet rooms, hotels, catering venues and City Hall offer.

Events InStyle: Hosting your event at Events InStyle means your special function is guaranteed to be unique, chic and sleek in our modern and versatile venue at 107 Murray Street in the heart of the Byward Market.
Events InStyle’s setting offers a blank canvas upon which we work with you to create whatever look and feel you desire – modern, urban, romantic or elegant.
