Feautred in Confetti Magazine - A Zelda Inspired Wedding

May 25, 2021

I'm so happy that we are featured again on Confetti Magazine here: https://confettimagazine.ca/realweddings/a-legend-of-zelda-themed-wedding-with-a-trex-cameo/! This wedding is a little more unique than the others I have submitted, in that it steers away from the typical classic glam or rustic vibe and more of a quirky, nerdy one (which I loooove)! The theme of today’s wedding feature was largely based on the couple’s mutual love of movies and video games, with a touch of tradition. A gorgeous venue, handmade triforce, a life sized inflatable dinosaur, rupees used as gift notes, and a beautiful cape wedding dress – we are starry-eyed with the brilliance of Susan and Derek’s magical wedding at Riverway Clubhouse in Burnaby, BC.

Elopement Package NOW LIVE!

March 21, 2021

Hello readers! Planning a wedding has been a bit of a feat in the last little while hasn't it? According to Hellosafe.ca, B.C'S Wedding industry lost $158 million in 2020. The decline was most apparent where the number of marriages passed from 1,453 in 2019 to 730 in 2020 (-49.8 %). Considering that a large majority of celebrations have been postponed to 2022, we are most likely going to see a record year for the wedding industry in BC, hitting at almost 900 million!

Leslie and Shane originally had planned a larger celebration with all of their closest friends and family in early August 2020. Covid threw a little dent in their plans which had them them to move their date later in the year to October 31st, hoping the guest count restriction of 50 would lift.

A beautiful sunset on a very warm summer day. What better place and time for a surprise picnic?

Venue Feature: Hart House Restaurant

June 10, 2020

Uniquely West Coast, Hart House has some of that old-world charm with a touch of idealistic romance. It’s tented, sits by a beautiful lake, and is surrounded by hundreds of tall lush trees and bushes. In the spring and summer, you’ll see lots of flowers in bloom along with little birds and squirrels trotting on their cute little feet (sort of like a scene in Bambi J)

As you are the Moon of his life, he shall be your Sun and Stars – Game of Thrones Wedding

June 4, 2020

Hi everyone! For Throwback Thursday, I wanted to share a very special wedding that I worked on with one of my favourite couples, Kimisha and Aja. They are the coolest people and I was incredibly happy to have had the honor of being their wedding day of coordinator. The wedding venue was the legendary UBC Boathouse, one of the most popular wedding sites in Vancouver and the lower mainland and it took place during Spring Break in March of last year. I’ll be writing a review about this venue in the next few weeks so keep a lookout when it gets posted.
