Markus & Gracie | Maple Ridge Wedding

Markus and Gracie initially booked me for decor setup and takedown. And let me tell you, Gracie came prepared to our first meeting! She handed me a booklet with pictures and diagrams that explained exactly what decor she wanted setup, how she wanted it setup, and where she wanted it setup. She knew exactly what she wanted, which I loved! Not long after they booked for me decor setup/takedown, they decided to book me in for Day-Of Coordination as well. And I'm so glad they did, as it was a pleasure to work for them! A few special memories (and photos) from the wedding day:

• The flexibility. Even though Gracie had a clear plan of how she wanted everything setup, she was still flexible to necessary changes. One change that came up last minute was having to do the ceremony indoors because of inclement weather. The ceremony still ended up looking absolutely beautiful (see the last picture on this post). I love that Whonnock Lake offers a beautiful space for both outdoor and indoor ceremonies. 
• The personal touches. I loved seeing the bride and groom's personality throughout the wedding. From handcrafted wooden pieces made by the groom to the bride and groom's amazing entrance music (Love Story by Taylor Swift switched to Ms. New Booty partway through ;) to a custom drink in honour of both the bride and the groom. 
• The colours. The wedding was in October and the colours chosen gave the wedding an amazing Fall look and feel! Everything was bright, vibrant and fun! 

Markus and Gracie, you are such a sweet and loving couple. Your love for one another is so clear and I know that you have a long, amazing future ahead of you! I can't wait to see the adventures that life takes you on! 

Much love,

Jodi Marie

"If there is one thing you do for yourself, please, hire Jodi. Jodi was our day-of-coordinator and she was absolutely amazing. She is extremely organized, punctual, detail-oriented, and strives to make your big day perfect. It was absolutely wonderful to not have to worry about a thing on the day of our wedding, as Jodi had everything covered. It all went off without a hitch, and was so smooth as all we had to do was sit back and let Jodi take care of everything. To save yourself a whole lot of stress, just hire Jodi. She is amazing!" -Gracie
