    Jenn did a phenomenal job helping us execute our fusion Indian/Western wedding as our coordinator. There were a lot of layers going on with the fusion of two different cultures, and Jenn made sure it all happened beautifully and smoothly and with a fun, confident vibe that made me excited and relaxed about everything from the moment I met her. Jenn helped us get the day organized by putting together the perfect timeline for our ideas, took care of communicating with our vendors and venue to take the stress out of all of that off of us, and even helped us navigate some family dynamics to keep everyone happy. Jenn was quick to respond to my questions and to quell any anxieties that came up for me, and to give me her insight anytime I was having trouble making decisions about details. The day of, Jenn made herself available to us from morning til night, making sure everyone knew what was going on what they were supposed to do every moment, and that everything was getting set up the way I wanted at the venue. She even saved me from a self-imposed wedding dress fiasco when I demanded a bridesmaid cut the crinoline out of my dress and then immediately regretted it - Jenn just calmly said "no prob, we'll put it back" and remedied it with tools from her emergency kit without for one second making me feel like I was being a bit crazy (which I was! ha!). As with any big event, there were some last minute challenges that came up and Jenn and Joey handled them with stealth and calmness to keep everything smooth and seemingly flawless. There is NO WAY our day would have gone as smoothly without Jenn, or that I would have been as relaxed in the weeks leading up to the wedding as I was with her help. After all the planning, we truly got to just turn our brains off and enjoy the day and all the amazing, special, once-in-a-lifetime moments without worrying about the logistics of anything, knowing everything was being handled by Jenn and Joey.

    Using Epic Events for our wedding was easily one of the best decisions we made. Briar and her team were incredibly helpful not only on our big day, but the weeks leading up to it. Her professionalism, ideas and level of organization contributed to the overall success of our wedding. Knowing that Briar was there on the day of was a huge weight lifted for not only me (the bride), but also our families. So happy we booked with Epic Events and would so again and again.

    It was a pleasure working with Briar, we cannot say enough great things! She knew everything there is to know about wedding planning and anticipated all the unexpected. Briar was incredibly professional, organized, thoughtful and executed our ideas perfectly. She gave us peace of mind on our wedding day and took care of every detail. I highly recommend Epic Events!

    Briar was the most incredible wedding planner we could have ever asked for! She understood my vision from day one and it all came together perfectly on our wedding day! She was able to provide excellent recommendations for vendors, but most importantly she kept me calm in the months leading up to our wedding as I knew we were in good hands. She planned out an amazing timeline for the day of our wedding which made me feel at ease (being the type A person that I am! ha!). Having Briar as our day-of coordinator was the best money spent during our wedding planning! I would strongly recommend her to anyone! She's sweet, organized, patient, kind and thorough. I couldn't have imagined our day without her help! xo Tina & Ian

    Briar was absolutely amazing to work with. She was extremely helpful in any way she could be, before during and after the wedding. She is super kind, caring and passionate about what she does! I would highly reccommend her to anyone! She is extremely out going and very flexible, considering she helped manage to pull off a working farm wedding without any imperfections!

    I cannot recommend Briar and her team at Epic Events highly enough! We used Epic Events for our entire wedding process. My husband and I made the risky choice to get married in 4 months, and Briar could not have made the process go smoother and kept me more calm! Our day was magical, and there is NO WAY that I could have been as relaxed and enjoyed the day as much as we did, without their help!

    Briar was SO helpful and made my wedding a success. This was one of the best decisions for our special day. Starting a couple months before the wedding we had an in-depth meeting and she ensured I had everything organized. She created a schedule with exact timings of everything on the wedding day. She coordinated with all the vendors regarding start times, set-up and details such as timings for when to send people down the aisle for the ceremony. Overall Briar was an indispensable part of our wedding day!

    We were fortunate to have Laura as our day-of coordinator-- which i would strongly recommend to anyone who is on the fence as to whether or not they need a coordinator! Trust me-- you want Epic Events on your side when it gets down to the crunch! Laura did a fantastic job of keeping us on track, and always made me feel like we could manage everything. She really listens to you and is extremely flexible on working with your style, budget, timelines, and schedule. The whole process of working with Epic Events was smooth and stress-free!
    On the day of our wedding, I left so much in Laura's very capable hands. We had so many last minute hiccups, but Laura handled them with ease and most importantly-- with total calmness!! (For example... half an hour before our outdoor ceremony, it started to rain! Laura didn't panic-- and everything worked out beautifully.) She did a wonderful job with our decor and all of my vendors consistently told me how awesome she was to deal with and how organized and professional she was. Awesome. Thanks Laura!

    Briar did a amazing job. I couldn't of asked for more. I dreamed of a amazing wedding and she delivered beyond what I could of imagined. She was amazing to work with and always made herself available for us when we came to town as we are not from Vancouver. She deals with her clients directly and not through her staff so she always knows what is happening. She always answers questions or concerns promptly. She is always available to help you. Her price is amazing for her work she delivered. She is a very warm caring person while still being professional which makes her unbelievable to work with. I am supper particular, she let me make the littlest decisions when I wanted to and made them for me when I didn't want to and she put together our wedding beautifully. She was there through our entire wedding day to ensure everything went smoothly and whatever didn't, well that's for her to Know and not me!! She is very knowable regarding great vendors to use within the budget you give her and she actually sticks to the budget. I was always given top vendorS to pick from for everything we needed. Briar was suggested to me through a family friend and excellent photographer in Vancouver and I would definately refer her to anyone who wants a beautiful easy stress free wedding planning experience. If I have any more events here I would definately use her services again anytime.

    Briar was absolutely unbelievable. She had everything covered from our first meeting to the moment before she left at the wedding, it was flawless. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have had the amazing day that I did. She took care of our guests, the wedding party, and ensured that each event throughout the night flowed perfectly. Briar was there to guide us down the aisle, fluff my train and veil, and even give me the, "take a deep breath...and go" before I took my big walk.

    Thank you for everything, it was definitely an epic event that I will remember forever.

    We worked with Laura starting 8 weeks prior to the wedding. She is very friendly and easy to get along with. She was extremely organized and that definitely kept us on track with the planning. We met a couple times at coffee shops but most of our communications was through email and she was always very prompt at getting back to us. She also came to our wedding rehearsal two nights before the wedding and helped everyone feel at ease. The day of the wedding was not stressful at all because I knew I could trust Laura with all the details and vendors; it made for a much more enjoyable day not having to stress/worry about the details. Everything went flawlessly! Laura made a detailed timeline of the day and guests even commented after about how everything was on time. She worked well with all the vendors and the hotel staff. This was honestly the best money spent for the wedding as it makes the day that much more enjoyable!

    We hired Briar and her team at Epic Events for their Day of Coordination services for our wedding. Briar is absolutely amazing and made our wedding day and the process leading up to it completely stress free. Throughout the big day, Briar made sure that all vendors were on task and that the schedule was being followed correctly. She beautifully decorated our venue, making sure everything was in the right place it was supposed to be. She even bustled my dress when it was time for dancing. Everyone at the wedding commented on how smoothly the day went, and said how professional, friendly, and organized Briar is. Our wedding day was perfect!

    We had Briar and her team from Epic Events as our wedding day coordinators for our daughter's wedding. Briar took care of all the decorating and setup at our reception venue and everything turned out fabulous! We could not have asked more a more beautiful wedding. She also made sure everyone was organized and on time, including the florist, DJ, photographers, MC, you name it... she was on top of it. She made the day completely stress-free for us so we didn't have to worry about a single thing. She was professional and friendly and we could not have asked for more.

    Laura from Epic Events was our day of coordinator for our wedding. Laura was awesome, and we really liked working with her. She was available for advice and recommendations from the moment we met her. Right before the wedding when we had some challenges with our venue, she helped us successfully navigate the issues. On the wedding day she took care of everything and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Laura even got the beef taco stain out of my dress!

    We first met Briar at a friends wedding where she was their day of coordinator. Fast forward a couple years later and we knew we had to call her and see if she was available for our date. She was, and the rest is history! Working with Briar was a joy and we would recommend her to anyone. She is extremely organized and thoughtful and made our wedding day go off without a hitch

    Briar and her team were wonderful!!! Briar was great to work with right from the start. She was on top of everything, she made it so easy, especially since we were planning our wedding from New York. She handled everything, made choices easy, gave us to-do lists, kept us accountable, and when there was any issue, she was always ready with solutions and options.

    Briar is extremely professional and organized. She ran our wedding, like we would have. Paid careful attention to the little details, which were so important to us. We gave her the challenge of executing a theme that isn't typically her style but she came through! It was better than we could have imagined.

    On the day of, Briar and her team executed seamlessly! We felt so taken care of as a bride and groom, we enjoyed our wedding and didn't have to worry about a thing. Many of our guests commented to us and our loved ones, how well executed our wedding was and how professional the Epic Events team was.

    We couldn't have picked a better planner and team. Briar made our wedding dreams come true. Thanks Briar!!! :)

    Now that the last of our out-of-town guests has left for home, my newly minted husband and I are able to sit down and take a few minutes to say a quick "THANK YOU!" for everything Briar has done for us. Briar was absolutely amazing to work with and throughout the night, all our vendors and guests came up to us to say how wonderful she was and what a great job she did pulling everything together and making our big day such a success. And Joey! What a fantastic assistant! Having Briar and Joey there to handle all the little details really allowed Mike and I to sit back, relax, and truly enjoy our wedding! Heck, the two of them even went so far as to look for my missing Manolo Blahnik shoes (which I found in the dumpster by the way. I know. What bride throws expensive shoes in the trash and then goes dumpster diving on her wedding night. THIS bride! Lol...)

    I hope Briar is prepared to receive lots and lots of new business because I'll be singing her praises to everyone and anyone I meet who's looking for a day-of-coordinator and/or planner. If you are a DIY bride that is on the fence about bringing on a day-of-coordinator (like I was) I promise you that hiring Briar will be one of THE best decisions you will make and the best gift you can give yourself for your special day.

    Again, Briar, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for everything!

    Briar and her team made our wedding so well organized and relaxed. It was literally 8pm on my wedding day before anyone asked me a single question about logistics- and even then Briar just came over and took care of it. I cant overstate how crucial she was to our day- highly recommended!

    I hired Epic Events for day of coordination for my wedding and they were amazing. I would not have made it through the day without Briar. She made a schedule for the day and made sure we stuck to it. She organized all the vendors and made sure they were there and delivered their services correctly and on time. The day was completely stress free for me and the day went perfectly. I would hire her and her company again in a second!

    I had the pleasure of working with Brittany Walker on my Wedding. Brittany was an absolute pleasure to work with. I called Epic Events and Brittany was paired with me and I couldn't have chosen a better person to have work on my wedding. She is so incredibly professional and genuine. Her responses were prompt and I found her work and knowledge to be incredibly helpful and efficient. I could not imagine not having her there! Both leading up to the wedding and on the day of. To think of the things I would have forgotten it's frightening! It is obvious that she has done this before and is very primed when it comes to weddings and how to get the best out of your night. I hear stories from previous brides about how anxious they were and worried that things would go as planned...I did not worry one bit. Having Brittany gave me and my husband the ability to enjoy our night. Her work is fabulous and she also came to our wedding looking fabulous! She blended in well getting the job done. I would not hesitate to call Brittany back for my next big bash! I would highly recommend her and Epic Events for any of your events.

    Epic Events is a phenomenal group of women. I hired Briar as our day of wedding coordinator for the big day. When we initially met (10 months out), we went through ideas of decor, venue, colors, flower, etc which even as a fellow industry employee, you don't realize the number of items you overlook or forget about. Immediately Briar had me on the right track in putting my visions onto paper and making them a reality. I don't know how I would of pulled off the decor at our wedding had we not met at Blenz that evening :)

    Then, 6 weeks ahead of time Briar came on board, took over all my contracts and vendors and compiled our wedding day schedule. As an organized and sometimes OCD person myself, I cannot express how much I appreciated the attention to detail and thorough follow through with everything. As we ironed out the last of the details it was the biggest relief to know I was in good, competent hands.

    She attended the ceremony rehearsal and coordinated with our photographer and officiate perfectly. The day of, her team set up all or decor and made my wedding day vision come to life. I can still remember walking down the aisle and later walking into the reception room and thinking "this is exactly how I pictured it". She nailed it. She kept us on time all day and evening and if anything went wrong you know Briar was amazing at her job because I never knew :)

    The value of hiring a wedding planner even just for the services I chose, DIY day of coordinator, is immeasurable. And to have that piece of mind and not have to stress out about EVERYTHING was wonderful.

    THANK YOU Epic Events!!!

    Where do we begin! Hiring Epic Events to take on the challenge of planning our destination wedding in Hawaii was the best decision we made. The responsiveness of Briar was prompt and she always had an answer to all of our questions and concerns. Usually, couples have a lot of stress when planning their big day but for us the planning process was enjoyable & we would do it all over again if we had to! The knowledge and expertise that Briar had in this industry really helped pull together our week long event in Hawaii. Briar is very personable and easy to get along with, so that made communicating anything and everything to her very easy. From day one - expressing to her about our vision for our wedding to the last day seeing exactly what we wanted pulled together was unreal! I would definitely recommend hiring Epic Events to be apart of your team to make your vision of your wedding day come to LIFE!

    Love,

    Kiran & Perdeep

    We hired Epic Events for Day of Coordination. Immediately meeting up with Briar, we felt comfortable and felt that she would be the right person to help us with our wedding. However, following the meeting, a review turned up that was negative and we felt the need to discuss this with her. She was very upfront and honest, dispelling any concerns we had. We’re so HAPPY we went with our gut instincts!
    Her attention to detail was incredible, as she asked us questions that we never even thought of, planned our timeline, contacted all of our vendors, replied to our emails/phone calls/text messages promptly weeks before and leading up to the wedding. For the day of the wedding, I was stress free as I had Briar and Brittany to help set up our ceremony and reception space. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t have remembered all the little details, and the minor issues that came up which she helped resolved (I didn’t know about until after the wedding! That was how good she was!). Briar was amazing to work with, positive, professional, organized, patient, and always reminded me that she was there for us. The day turned out to be the best night of my life. Thank you so so much!! We would definitely recommend Briar for any wedding planning services!! Best decision ever!

    Epic Events was awesome. They were recommended to me by a very good friend who had used them the summer before. Brittany was amazing! We had an outdoor wedding at our family home. As soon as I walked away from the home the night before the wedding I knew everything was under control because Brittany was now in charge. I had nothing to worry about on the day of our wedding. They set everything up that still needed to be set up and made sure the wedding party was happy the whole night. They kept everyone on schedule which was very helpful for the MCs. We had no glitches, or if we did I did not know about them. My bridesmaids, parents and husband all said Epic Events was the best money we spent on the wedding. Thank you for making our day so special.
