A Love Letter to the Untraditional
Let’s be honest—not everyone dreams of a 200-person guest list, a weekend-long schedule, and six rounds of linen samples. Some of us just want to marry our person (or persons), soak up the joy, and skip the part where we need a spreadsheet to remember who’s allergic to shellfish.
If you’ve ever felt low-key allergic to the idea of a traditional wedding, you’re not alone. Maybe you’re craving intimacy over itinerary. Maybe the idea of walking down an aisle in front of a crowd gives you the ick. Or maybe—just maybe—you’re a little wild at heart, and the idea of doing things your way feels way more romantic than a plated dinner ever could.
This is a love note to the rule-breakers. The deeply in-love-but-not-into-chair-covers crew. The “can we just get married already?” types.
This, dear reader, is where the Wedding Quickie comes in…
So… What Is a Wedding Quickie?
Think of it as a pop-up microwedding with soul. The Wedding Quickie is our signature small-scale wedding experience, created for couples who want all the beauty, intention, and magic of a full wedding coronation—just without the year-long planning marathon, endless spreadsheets, or five-figure floral invoices.
Rooted right here in Vancouver, these intimate celebrations are designed to take the pressure off while keeping all the heart. We’re talking gorgeous locations (you know BC always shows off), a curated vendor dream team, floral details that hit just right, and a ceremony that feels like you put in all the effort (even if you didn’t!).
As a Vancouver wedding planner who believes weddings don’t need to be massive to be meaningful, we built Wedding Quickies for lovers who crave connection, not coordination overwhelm.
It’s not about cutting corners—it’s about cutting through the noise.
Less stress. Less cost. Less chaos.
More intention. More meaning. More “hell yes.”
Who’s It For?
Whether you’re a laid-back Vancouver local or a couple from Toronto or Montreal dreaming of a destination wedding in BC, the Wedding Quickie might just be your soulmate.
This intentionally-crafted microwedding experience is for lovers who want:
✨ A soul-filled celebration without the two-year planning marathon.
✨ To spend their money on travel, a house, a dog, or a tattoo sleeve (we get it) instead of chair rentals and charger plates.
✨ A “just us” or “just a few” kind of vibe—intimate, cozy, wildly romantic.
✨ A wedding day that feels like a ceremony, not a performance.
And the best part? It’s not just for first-time “I do’s.”
Wedding Quickies are also perfect for:
💍 Second marriages
💫 Vow renewals
💖 Commitment ceremonies
For our friends out East, this is your sign: a destination wedding in Vancouver doesn’t have to mean maxing out your credit card or planning from three time zones away. We’ve got you. From sweeping mountain views to secret beach hideaways, we’ll handle the magic—you just show up and get married.
And for the hometown sweethearts right here in Vancouver, this is your reminder that your dream wedding doesn’t have to be big to be unforgettable.

Why We Created It (The Soul Part)
Let’s be real: not everyone dreams of a 200-person ballroom wedding with a custom monogrammed dance floor. And honestly? That’s kind of our favourite thing about you.
We created the Wedding Quickie because we saw a need—for something more aligned, more intentional, and way less overwhelming. A way to get married that feels like you, not like a performance.
This offering is rooted (deeply) in our belief that weddings don’t have to be big to be beautiful. What people actually crave is connection, meaning, and a memory that still gives them goosebumps ten years later. We wanted to create a space where that could happen—without the chaos, the cost, or the cookie-cutter expectations.
It’s a love letter to the untraditionalists.
To the time-strapped lovers juggling life, work, and everything in between.
To the romantics who’d rather invest in adventures, homes, dogs, or tattoos.
To the rebels with hearts of gold who know that love doesn’t need a spotlight—just a moment that feels true.
We are so grateful for the couples who choose to do things differently, and we’re endlessly honoured to help make their version of “I do” feel as sacred, beautiful, and easy as it should be.
This isn’t just a wedding—it’s a moment of truth, of joy, of deep freaking alignment.
And we’re here for every second of it.
Real Talk: Is a Quickie Right for You?
Let’s cut to the chase with a quick little quiz—because sometimes, you just need to know if this whole Wedding Quickie thing actually vibes with you:
- Do you want to get married this year (like, ASAP-ish)?
- Are you craving less planning stress and more being fully present on your day?
- Do you feel most yourself surrounded by nature, a city alleyway, or a funky industrial space?
- Is your dog or fur baby destined to be the ultimate ring bearer?
- Would you rather toast with champagne than fuss over a seating chart?
If you said “yes” to any of these, guess what? A Wedding Quickie might just be your soulmate.
No fuss. No fluff. Just the kind of wedding that feels right, real, and totally you.
