• You enjoy engaging with people and thrive in social, high-energy environments.
• You are passionate about creating extraordinary client experiences.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in planning and executing weddings and events, including logistics coordination, vendor management, and on-site support.
• Maintain clear and professional communication with clients, vendors, and team members.
• Assist in compiling design decks, including sourcing inspiration, creating mood boards, sourcing décor and other event elements that align with the client’s vision.
• Provide hands-on support during event set-up, execution, and teardown.

• Provide general administrative support as required.

Qualifications:

• A passion for weddings and events, with some experience in event planning and/or transferrable skills and experience from a related field, such as customer service, marketing or digital media.
• Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
• Availability to work evenings, weekends, and long hours during event days.
• A valid driver’s license and access to reliable transportation.

Compensation and Perks:

• Compensation is competitive and in line with the events industry, based on experience and the successful candidate.
• Opportunity to travel, as we’ve produced weddings across Western Canada, the US, and internationally.
• Professional development opportunities to grow your career.

Dyanna and Ryan had the most amazing wedding weekend in the beautiful Okanagan! We kicked off the festivities with a welcome event at 19 Okanagan, a stunning open air restaurant on a golf course.

The next day, the couple tied the knot at Sanctuary Gardens – a picturesque ceremony venue in West Kelowna with stunning views of the lake. Luckily, the rain tapered off right before the ceremony and made for some beautiful photos. The reception was held at The Laurel Packinghouse in downtown Kelowna. Romantic florals and soft fabrics created a beautiful juxtaposition amidst the historic event space, with an open beam ceiling and brick walls.

It’s always such a treat to plan and produce destination weddings and multi-day events in the Kelowna area. Enjoy this look back at Dyanna and Ryan’s Okanagan wedding weekend!

Palm Springs has always been a bucket list destination for us, so when we got the call from Haley and Marco, it was a match made in wedding planning heaven!

Over 150 guests joined the couple in the Palm Springs area for a weekend of celebration. It was important that we designed events reflective of Haley and Marco’s fun-loving personalities. They are social butterflies and love to host their friends – FUN was a priority!

Haley and Marco hosted a “welcome fiesta” on Cinco de Mayo the day prior to the wedding (since it fell on May 5th). The event was held at a private residence in Indian Wells, and was brightly decorated with vibrant colours, florals and pool lanterns. Guests indulged in signature margaritas, tacos and churros, and were serenaded by a Mariachi band. It was the perfect way to kick off the weekend festivities.

This wedding was featured on the front page of Style Me Pretty, and you can check out Part 2 here.

Avery and James celebrated their summer wedding at Edmonton’s Castle in the River Valley, the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald. Over 200 guests joined to celebrate Avery and James, as they exchanged vows on the Empire Terrace under a lush, English garden inspired floral arch and sunny blue skies. An ice cream cart kept guests cool while the couple took photos with their Wedding Party throughout the afternoon.

The reception was held inside the Empire Ballroom, where a palette of subdued peaches, blush and dusty blue perfectly accented the traditional Fairmont aesethetic. After a delicious meal, guests enjoyed dancing the night away.

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.

Georgia and Joel were married on a balmy summer day across the street from Georgia’s childhood home in the Glenora neighbourhood. Lush greens and gorgeous white florals enhanced the iconic fountain in Alexander Circle Park, creating a beautiful, timeless backdrop for their vows.

Guests enjoyed a delightful post-ceremony gathering before arriving at Royal Glenora Club for the evening events. The reception design featured a modern minimalist aesthetic combined with garden-inspired florals. After a sumptuous dinner and heartfelt speeches, guests enjoyed a night filled with dancing to modern hits and throwbacks courtesy of Good Company DJ. The day’s events ended on a sweet note with the Made by Marcus ice cream cart serving up a late night treat!

Betty and Harry’s love story led them to Jasper, where they celebrated their wedding with an intimate group of their closest family and friends at Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. They said their I Do’s on the Lakefront Ridge, incorporating both their cultures: a Chinese tea ceremony and a Greek crowning ceremony.

We designed a long table dinner outside the Milligan Manor, which encapsulated the feeling of a beautiful backyard wedding in the mountains. What you don’t see in these beautiful photos was the little rain cloud that moved in just 30 minutes before dinner was to start! Luckily, the JBW and Fairmont teams were there to save the al fresco reception and quickly dry off chairs before guests sat down to enjoy a delicious 5-course meal with wine pairings.
