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.

Backyard Tent Wedding Planner: Katie + Simon
Katie + Simon had planned a large (300+!) wedding in the summer of 2020. Like many (many!) others, their plans were derailed by a not-so-welcome Global Pandemic. After weighing many options, we decided to pivot and re-plan their wedding. In keeping with the event guidelines in place at that time, we designed an intimate backyard tent wedding so they could celebrate with their nearest and dearest.
“ABOVE AND BEYOND. Worth every dollar hiring Jennifer to plan our wedding! If you’re like me and have a hard time with design, then you’re in good hands with Jennifer. She made the entire process SO easy, especially during the last 6 months since we had to pivot several times due to covid. I am still truly shocked by how beautiful everything came together. Thank you for the best day ever!”

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.

Jasper Wedding Coordinator: Sarah + Andrew
One of the greatest privileges of our job as wedding planners is being invited to experience love on so many levels. The love a couple has for one another is the obvious one, but we bear witness to the incredible love parents have for their children, adoring grandparents beaming with pride, and the special bonds of childhood friends.
Love radiated throughout Sarah and Andrew’s wedding weekend at The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, and that’s a testament to their relaxed personalities and warm, welcoming natures. The weather also showed this couple some love by cooperating to give them a beautiful outdoor ceremony on Whistlers Plateau.
Cory Christopher brought the outdoors inside the Beauvert Room with lush florals and organic elements. He also expertly wove in personal touches that reflected Sarah and Andrew as individuals and as a couple. Moss “mountains” showed guests where to take their seats, pillars displayed childhood objects and photos like an exhibit – a nod to Sarah’s professional career as a curator – a canoe adorned with ferns and greenery held ice cold beer at the bar!
Blake Loates captured this day so beautifully! Her images are featured in the Fall/Winter 2018 issue of Confetti Magazine, and you can enjoy a magical Super 8mm highlight film by Arrow Films here: Sarah + Andrew Wedding Film.

Edmonton Wedding Coordinator: Justine + Ian
Justine + Ian’s wedding was a chic, vintage inspired affair on a cool November day. Filled with love and laughter, 160 of their nearest and dearest shared their infectious happiness at the magical Fairmont Hotel Macdonald.
Both the ceremony and reception were held in the elegant Empire Ballroom. Justine’s love for all things vintage was evident by so many special touches – not a detail was missed. Black ribbons held a sprig of rosemary at each setting; vintage serving trays displayed guest seating arrangements; antique sofas and trunks provided soft seating in the foyer; and glowing candles were scattered throughout the tablescapes.
I’ll let these photos captured by the talented Sharon Litchfield transport you through every detail of their day – and if you’re itching to see more of this soirée, Justine shares some beautiful sentiments on her lifestyle blog, With Justine.
Thank you, Justine + Ian, for allowing us to be a part of your love story.

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!
