Q. What influenced your decision to become a wedding planner?
A. I have always been extremely detail orientated and organized, and sometimes a little OCD. When I took my Office and Records Administration diploma at NAIT I was able to assist in planning our graduation. From my graduation I was in a job where I was able to assist with corporate events such as award ceremonies, golf tournaments, and charity events. This happened to be at the same time I was planning my own wedding. I realized I enjoyed corporate planning but at the same time I enjoyed weddings. At my sister in law’s wedding, Elizabeth (ENV Photography) was just starting out and photographing my SIL’s wedding. The wedding was very disorganized even though I attempted to offer assistance many times, Elizabeth noticed that I was very good at improvising and carrying out a wedding I knew nothing about, and suggested I be a planner. I then took my Event Management Certificate, WPIC Certification, and started my business!
