  • Assist with marketing and PR initiatives, including blogging, social media posts / reels, publication submissions and other activities to promote and publicize the company.
  • 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.

Palm Springs Destination Wedding Part 2: Haley + Marco

The wedding venue for Haley and Marco’s Palm Springs destination wedding, Toscana Country Club, is unique from most desert venues in that it has lush landscaping, gorgeous stone architecture, and truly feels like you are in Italy. As Palm Springs Wedding Planners and Designers, we decided to embrace the Tuscan vibe of the venue while incorporating a little bit of Palm Springs character.

The result? Tuscan Garden meets Palm Springs Glam! Romantic, floral and contemporary with a splash of edginess. Our colour story was based around olive green, cream and dusty rose, with accents of black and ochre yellow.

Haley had recently graduated culinary school, so food and drinks were very important! Immediately following the ceremony, tray-passed appetizers were served on the Garden Terrace, as guests enjoyed the scenery and live music.

For dinner, guests indulged in their choice of New York strip, Chilean sea bass or Napa Valley rack of lamb for their main course. His and hers signature cocktails were aptly named “Chef’s Kiss” and “McDavid in the Desert,” as the Edmonton Oilers were in the playoffs at the time of the wedding (the couple rarely misses a game).

The reception was held in an outdoor space called “The Olive Grove,” which was filled with gorgeous olive trees. We designed a unique layout to optimize the al-fresco experience. Guests dined at a mix of long wooden rectangle tables and rounds covered in luxe linens. We used black as an accent through the chairs and flatware to bring in a modern vibe to a traditional setting. Two lounge seating areas with contemporary pieces included accents of ochre yellow and dusty rose; colored marble and fluted tables added texture and interest to the vignettes.

The after party was held indoors at Toscana Country Club, and we transformed the space so it felt like a nightclub – transitioning guests to the final portion of the celebration. It was an incredible weekend, and we can’t wait to head back to Palm Springs for more destination weddings in the future!

Palm Springs Destination Wedding Part 1: Haley + Marco

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.

Epic Multi-Day Fusion Wedding Part 2: Alejandra + Jason

Alejandra and Jason’s wedding day was held at the iconic Fairmont Hotel Macdonald. Overlooking Edmonton’s beautiful river valley, we designed the outdoor terrace ceremony with light & airy summer vibes, using ghost chairs and an acrlic altar covered in all-white blooms. Alejandra walked down the aisle with her mother to a classical cover of Elvis Presley’s Can’t Help Falling In Love, performed by a string quartet.

Guests returned that evening to a supper club inspired reception featuring a sumptuous 5-course meal before they danced the night away. We designed this event to reflect the couple’s personal styles – sexy and fashion-forward! Some of the design elements included: luxe velvet linens in black and forest green; three styles of ghost chairs; colourful & modern blooms; lush greenery and plant-filled tablescapes; a black & white checkered dance floor.

Jasper Park Lodge Wedding Planner: Claudia + Liz

Claudia and Liz’s destination wedding at Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge radiated beauty – both of the scenery and their love for one another. Over 100 of their nearest and dearest travelled from across Canada to celebrate them in late September, an absolutely stunning time of year in the Rocky Mountains.

Their outdoor ceremony was set in front of the glistening turquoise waters of Lac Beauvert on Whistlers Plateau, and they dined and danced in the Golf Clubhouse with both a band and DJ keeping guests on their feet all night long!

Garden Wedding at Fairmont Hotel Macdonald: Avery + James

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.
