Sparrow Lane Wedding Planner: Aakanksha + Arjun
Sparrow Lane’s stunning indoor-outdoor venue set the scene for Aakanksha and Arjun’s two-day wedding festivities in late June. Day one saw two outdoor ceremonies honouring both the bride and groom’s religions – first, a Sikh ceremony, followed by a Hindu ceremony on the scenic forest-enveloped cobblestone patio.
The next day, guests enjoyed cocktails and a gourmet Indian-fusion dinner, followed by a night of toasts and dancing!
The wedding design was adorned with personalized details, most spectacularly, a unique book case seating wall paying tribute to their shared passion for literature. Guests were presented with individualized leather embossed bookmarks indicating their designated tables. Rich hues of emerald green, merlot and gold were paired with soft peach and blush tones, blending regality with romance.

Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge Wedding Planner: Jocelyn + Naheed
Residing in Toronto, Jocelyn and Naheed wanted to host a destination wedding in the majestic Rockies to bring together their loved ones from across the country (and beyond). The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge fit the bill as the perfect venue for their weekend of events.
- The weekend kicked off with a welcome event held in the Golf Clubhouse, complete with live music and a food truck serving sweet treats and traditional East African delights.
- The next morning, Jocelyn and her crew had their Mehndi done while enjoying brunch. Guests joined them on the lawn of the Stanley Thompson Cabin to partake in the Pithi and Mandvo – traditional Ismaili ceremonies held before the wedding to bless the couple with well wishes.
- Everyone donned their best lehengas and Indian suits for the evening Sangeet held in a clearspan tent on Beauvert Plateau. Set right in front of the lake, the colourful decor and attire made for spectacular photos as DJ Double J brought the party!
- Saturday was reserved for an outdoor ceremony held on Whistlers Plateau, with both western and Ismaili rituals. The evening Gala followed in Beauvert Ballroom and featured a 4-course meal, heartfelt toasts. The Rondel Roberts Band and Double J alternated sets keeping guests on the dance floor into the early hours of the morning!
- Sunday morning brunch wrapped up the incredible weekend.
It was certainly challenging planning a multi-event destination wedding during the pandemic (to say the least!), but it all turned out phenomenally. We are especially grateful to Jocelyn, Naheed and their families for being so wonderful to work with and such kind, gracious humans.

Edmonton Wedding Coordinator: Arianna + Tom
Arianna and Tom didn’t miss a single detail when planning and designing their wedding at St. Joachim Catholic Church and The Fairmont Hotel Macdonald. From their church exit into a floral adorned vintage car to their cigar and bourbon bar on the Empire Terrace, every moment of the day was personalized and well thought out.
It was an honour to work with them to provide Wedding Day Management so they could relax and soak in every minute of the special day they had planned. You can see more of this beautiful wedding in the current issue of Blush Magazine captured by the talented Katch Studios.

Edmonton Wedding Coordinator: Jillian + Ryan
Two creative spirits, Jillian + Ryan ‘s wedding day was a perfect reflection of their personalities and talents. They shared a ‘first look’ at their beautifully appointed home that only a few months earlier had been featured in Avenue Magazine. An outdoor photo session with Nicole Ashley preceded their wedding ceremony and reception that were fittingly held at the Art Gallery of Alberta.
In collaboration with Cory Christopher, Jill + Ryan added organic yet modern décor elements to the AGA’s blank canvas. Ryan is a talented designer and made many of the creative pieces showcased at the wedding, including the wooden centrepieces and concrete votive candleholders on the tables.
The newlyweds surprised all their guests when they performed a duet as part of their thank-you speech. The song transitioned to the dance floor to kick off the party!
Having recently run into them at another family wedding we were fortunate to be a part of, it warmed my heart to see Jill + Ryan so happy and even more in love. Enjoy the photos below by Nicole Ashley, along with the incredible super 8mm highlight film by Arrow Films.

Jasper Wedding Planner: Cybil + Brian
I first met Cybil and Brian in Toronto, Canada on the very day they were leaving the country and moving to São Paulo, Brazil! Despite such a huge life change on the horizon, they were incredibly calm when we chatted about their Jasper Park Lodge destination wedding.
Besides getting married in a beautiful, natural location, Cybil and Brian wanted to celebrate with all their favourite people over the course of a weekend since they would be living so far away before the wedding. Jasper is a special place for Cybil and her family, as they spent a lot of time there throughout her childhood skiing at Marmot Basin and enjoying summers at the lakes.
Cybil and Brian’s love radiated throughout the wedding weekend and we felt so welcomed by these warm families. Meaghan Milne, a good friend of the couple, travelled from Toronto to photograph their day, and she did an incredible job capturing the emotion of the festivities.
Cheers to love and adventure!
