Erika Enns (she/her/hers)

I didn’t spend my childhood dreaming about my wedding, but as I have ventured through my own marriage, the importance of the wedding day keeps coming up.

A wedding is so much more than just a good party and a beautiful outfit! The vows a couple speaks to each other are so important. Almost three decades into my own marriage, I think I realize now more than ever the weight of those vows.

My husband, Matt, and I have been married since 1997. In that time, life has changed a lot! We’ve gone from squeezing in dates while raising growing kids to navigating our new stage of life as empty nesters and enjoying the adventures of having adult children.

No matter what life has had in store for us, it’s always been important that we make time for each other. Sometimes we have to remember to slow down and just enjoy the small moments together. Making our marriage a priority is never something we regret.

When I’m not officiating, I can be found working as a relationship coach, dreaming of my next travel destination or just hanging out with my family. My favourite jobs ever are being a wife and a mother.

I absolutely love connecting with people, hearing their stories and finding the gold in them. I want to help couples create a ceremony that is creative, intimate and specific to who they are and what they stand for.

 

Testimonials

  • We had such a great experience with Young Hip and Married! Our officiant Erika was absolutely amazing, and helped us to have the most special, heartfelt wedding ceremony – It was everything that we wanted it to be and more. Her words during the ceremony were so beautiful, and she was such a pleasure to work with.

  • Erika was our officiant and I cannot say enough good things about her; she was incredible. She made everything so comfortable and easy for everyone it felt like I had known her forever. She was extremely prompt with communication and any edits I had to the writing were changed immediately without any problems. She was there for the rehearsal which was wonderful and was able to tell everyone where to go and run though it all which was a huge relief. The writing was wonderful – short and sweet but was also packed with a ton of emotion and meaning. She really took our story and made it personal (which was exactly what we asked for). Everyone was laughing and crying and everyone had something good to say about Erika. Highly recommend to anyone.

    Maria & Nigel
  • One the best choices made as part of our wedding planning process. Erika. Is. AMAZING! Super friendly and charismatic! We opted for the Custom and Creative Ceremony option and, while it was a bit on the pricey side, it was worth every penny with many of our guests saying they loved the ceremony as it was unique and different from so many weddings they have attended in the past.

    Don & Rebecca
  • YH&M was exactly the right choice for our elopement. We always knew we wanted to elope, it was just a matter of how. When we decided on a helicopter adventure with Sky and our photographers, Isle and Oak, Young Hip & Married was the perfect next choice. They’ve all worked together before! We love that they are inclusive, modern in all the right ways, and focused on what makes each union unique. Erika met us at the hangar and her kind, calm (while still being excited), professional demeanour shone through. She listened to us about the story of the origin of our rings, and then added it into the ceremony. We are so grateful for her, and the way in which YH&M took care of us through the whole process. 10/10.

    Kim & Chris
  • Our officiant, Erika Enns, and Tara were extremely helpful, kind and dedicated. Can’t recommend them enough!

    Katrina Xavier
  • I found YHM on a Google search, anxious to text a random name on the BC government commissioner web page. I found them through their inclusivity in the photos on their site, and stayed for how responsive they were. From the first email, YHM were kind, excited, and professional — happy to give information, to find out more about me and my partner, and make sure everything went as perfect as they could! Erika Enns was our wedding commissioner, and she was so sweet and adorable! Thank you so much for your work, your words, and even your smile!

    Jessica & Courtney
  • It truly was the best day! We are very happy to have hired you and to have found Young Hip and Married, a delight to work with. Very professional and communicative. It’s stressful going through all the steps to plan and you made it very simple and easy for us! I would recommend you in a heartbeat!
    Thanks again!

    Mel & Sean
  • One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was choosing Erika from YH&M to be our officiant. From the moment we had our first meeting, we knew we had made the right choice. She was extremely helpful, kind, flexible, generous and insightful. She created the most incredible custom ceremony for us, something we will cherish forever. There was not a dry eye in the room! She made us feel comfortable and at ease during our wedding ceremony and we wouldn’t change one thing about our experience. Thank you Erika, you made our wedding dreams come true!!

    Tazmin & Shahaan
  • Dealing with Young Hip & Married was great. They found the perfect fit officiant for us and Erika was amazing. We were wanting a quick and efficient ceremony and Erika delivered. While still making it personal and having our story to tell, she 10000% delivered. Thank you so much Erika for making our wedding so special!

    Janine & Hussain
  • Thank you so much for giving us a perfect oath ceremony. Your draft of the marriage proposal is beautiful and warm. We are very moved and agree with you that marriage is to face all kinds of difficulties and happiness together in the future. Thank you again for this wonderful memory.
    Justin & Sherry
  • We used Young Hip & Married for our wedding and couldn’t be happier with the service they provided. Erika worked with us to tailor our ceremony to be personal, funny, and engaging. We won’t need to hire them again, but anyone looking for a company that puts you in the spotlight at your wedding, and does so with care and attention, then look no further!
    Erika, we’re still on cloud nine from it all! It couldn’t have gone any better and we’re still feeling all the love from our family and friends 🙂
    Thank you so much for an awesome ceremony! The words, delivery, planning, everything was spot on and really made us feel like we were part of something special.
    Paul & Keara
  • Strongly recommend! Great experience, very in depth asking lots of questing and really getting to know the couple. Fantastic job!

    Shelby & Chris
  • Shawn and the whole team have been amazing through this whole wedding journey. Everything was so thoroughly planned and executed. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to get us married. Everything from our first meeting to writing out the whole ceremony for our guests was all so wonderful. We wanted a light, simple, funny but sentimental ceremony and it’s exactly what we got. They were always available to answer any questions but text or email. Thank you to the amazing team and Erika for getting us married.

    Angela & Peter
  • Erika was a great officiant. She arrived early, professional, fun personality and overall a great experience with Young Hip and Married. My wife and I couldn’t be happier that we had Erika as our officiant!

    Edward & Risa
  • This post is long over due, but here it is! I want to give a huge shout out to Erika, our officiant who went above and beyond to make my wedding happen. We were originally meant to get married on March 21, 2020 but that was the week everything was shutting down due to Covid-19. We had to cancel our big events that very week and we were unsure as to whether we could even continue with our smaller events. It was definitely stressful. So we called Erika to ask her if she was available earlier and she said she was. On March 16 (5 days earlier), Erika came to our house and made our ceremony happen. There were only 5 of us (me, my husband, Erika, her mom and friend as two witnesses) in our living room. Now it’s 5 months later and I am so happy that we made the decision that we did. I want to thank Erika for being so professional and so amazing. I would recommend Young Hip & Married and especially Erika!! Thank you again for making one of the most important days so special.

    Sabina & Joe
  • Our experience with Erika was perfect. She was very warm and personable at our first meeting and her calm, attentive demeanor put us at ease. She addressed all of our wishes, had us consider many important points, and made sure that our personal story would be integrated into the ceremony. She also suggested that we include our son, which we loved and did. It truly made it that much more meaningful for us all.

    On the day of the ceremony she saw us through it like a pro, even though she is terrified of birds! The only reason that we mention it is that we had an outdoor ceremony and right in the middle of it a big bird swooped down right at us! Again, Erica handled it like a pro and didn’t miss a beat. She had our guests entertained and crying with joy and laughter all at the same time. Again, she was perfect.

    Overall, our experience was fantastic and our big day was something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Erika to any prospective couple. She is professional, calm and executed the ceremony flawlessly.

    Rosina & Chris
  • Excellent and amazing service! Couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Thank you again for everything!

    Tyler & Stephanie
  • I enjoyed your officiating. I wished that I could have thanked you in person after the ceremony. You were able to give everyone in the room an excellent idea of the relationship between Mark and Rebecca. You described them both so well. Thanks so much for making this event and last summer’s event so wonderful!

    Carolyne (Mother of the Groom)
  • We hired YH&M for our wedding on April 25 2021. It was a super small wedding due to covid. We also had to reschedule a couple times due to this as well, but YH&M was understanding with the changes. Erika was a wonderful officiant, super professional, we stumbled on words due to crying through the whole thing, but she kept us on track. Before the wedding she had sent us different examples of vows before we settled on what we wanted. Excellent job all around.

    Janessa & James
  • Erika was extremely patient and professional in planning the whole ceremony process. She always ensured that we’re on the same page and was excellent at telling our story. The rest of her speech was great – perfect length and wording to signify the meaning of marriage and the rings. The ceremony became such a more memorable experience than expected all thanks to Erika!

    Katie & Calvin
  • Wedding by Erika was precise, and she came on time to the wedding site, communication was very great and same with the organisation. Erika made our day and the site was very easy to use; whenever you wanted to communicate plus the quick response to messages, anytime you are lost on anything.

    Austin & Rita
  • Thank you so much! You did an amazing job and we got so many compliments on how well of a job you did and how awesome you are!! I will definitely be recommending you to every single person I know getting married with out a doubt!! I so wish we could redo that day (without any of the planning lol) it was serious a dream come true!

    Brittany & Ken
  • You were so nice and precise, and everything went well; you guys made our day. I am so so happy you enjoyed our local cuisine, it was our pleasure. Thanks again once more and have a blessed day.

    Austin & Rita
  • We both disliked the idea of a big wedding. YH&M provided us with all that we could ever need in a ceremony. Officiant Erika and photographer Tanja were both very professional. We had to hike less than 20mins to our destination (note: for a tiny extra travel fee) however overall worth it compared to paying thousands had we gone the “traditional route.”

    Jen & Eric
  • Erika, you were an amazing officiant and we we’re so happy you were the one to officiate our marriage! You were so accommodating due to the weather and the schedule changes and still provided us with a special ceremony that didn’t feel rushed. You really helped validate our vows and unite us as one and shared a sense of humour with the sea planes going by! We wouldn’t have had it any other way! Thank you for creating a moment in time that we will never forget! You are the best!!

    Sarah & Joe
  • We recently travelled to Vancouver from Ontario and put our faith in Young Hip and Married to make it all happen. They quickly assigned us an officiant who ended up being Erika. Erika helped up find the exact location after just showing her a picture of a previous wedding posted on the website. She knew how to get us the right answers and her communication was wonderful. Erika’s husband served as one of our witnesses and he so kindly took it upon himself to video our ceremony as it was just the two of us. They were so friendly and made our wedding so very special as they delivered a short, intimate ceremony we were hoping for. Big thanks to Erika and the Young Hip and Married team!!

    Sarah & Jonathan
  • Such a great business to work with. They cater to you, by making your ceremony exactly how you dream of it. We are so pleased to have gotten to work with Erika. She made it feel so personal and stress free! Saying my vows in front of people absolutely scared me, but she made me feel so comfortable. So easy to work with.

    Tasia & Kaleb
  • Our experience working with YHM was fantastic, really uncomplicated and straightforward administratively. Erika Enns was our officiant and I would highly recommend her – she has a very natural and calming presence and excellent delivery. Thank you for making our day so special!

    Ilana & Neil
  • I am Colin’s mom and I just want to thank you for presiding over their vows on Friday. Obviously the event is highly emotional and I would say even tense! But I commented to Colin and Jaime that I felt your introduction before their vows allowed us all to catch our breath, relax, and then really enjoy the ceremony that followed. I  appreciated your small injections of humour during the ceremony and the way you spoke, and what you said was truly beautiful. I know you must do many, many of these ceremonies but of course for us it’s just the one. It felt to me that you treated it as if it was just the one for you too! So I asked Colin for your email to specifically thank you for making the ceremony so wonderful for all of us!! Thanks again!

    Heather
  • When we first heard about Young Hip & Married, we were intrigued but didn’t really know how wonderful of an experience it would be. From the beginning to the end, we had nothing but support from the different people we were in touch with and our officiant Erika was just so darn wonderful! She was open, kind, supportive, and so thoughtful about details we hadn’t even considered. The whole process of writing our vows and deciding how we wanted our ceremony to flow could have been so stressful had it not been for Erika – we really can’t say enough about how lovely she is. We truly lucked out in hearing about this company because while they might provide a service, it is so clear it’s much more than that to them. The communication was crystal clear throughout, and we really couldn’t have been happier with our ceremony!

    Gladys & Justin
  • We knew Young Hip and Married would be the best choice after watching my sister have such a positive experience at her own wedding two years previous – we were lucky enough to get the same officiant, Erika! The entire experience from the initial emails, to the video chats with Jackie-Deane and Erika, to our actual wedding was such a delight. Everyone was patient, understanding, and flexible. Our needs were acknowledged and met with the upmost positivity. The day of our wedding was absolutely beautiful – Erika really engaged the guests, and kept the ceremony light and fun, which was the exact atmosphere that we were looking for. We cannot suggest anyone else other than YH&M to do your wedding; you will not regret it as we certainly did not! Thanks again to everyone on the team who ensured we had an amazing day!!!

    Josephine & Jeremy
  • We could not have been happier with Erika and the entire team at YH&M. Everything went perfectly, it was easy to talk to everyone handling all the details and when the day finally came, Erika went above and beyond to make everything just as we had hoped it would turn out. She was compassionate and we’re so grateful that she helped us through something we had hoped would never be stressful. Couldn’t thank this team anymore, and would absolutely highly recommend them to anyone!
    Reese & Mikah
  • Everything was wonderful; Erika was amazing and she made our ceremony exactly the way we wanted it to be :). She was kind, professional, on time, and just a joy to work with. I would highly recommend her and your team to officiate.

    Merissa & John
  • I used YOUNG HIP AND MARRIED, to help assign an officiant for my elopement wedding. It was short notice and they were able to assign a wonderful officiant named Erika to come to our wedding. I really liked how efficient the company is; their main contact who organised everything with me always was available for any questions or problems that arose via text. Also being not super religious, I found the marriage vows the officiant wrote for us were perfect and did not focus on any religious aspects. Everything went smoothly, the price we paid for this company was very suitable. I would highly recommend it to young couples who want to take the hassle out of arranging an officiant and a photographer because the YH&M team will arrange it for you as part of their package (Depending on which package you select).

    Tina & Stephen
  • Erika was our officiant from YH&M and she was an absolute dream to work with. She is personally all kinds of awesome, and then her professional expertise is what you really need for your special day. She put together a very special script for us to review a couple months before the wedding, which was greatly appreciated since the month before the wedding is stressful for other details. She did a great job directing our wedding rehearsal, and on the wedding day, even guests complimented her saying how great she was at subtly stepping out of photos during key moments of the ceremony. Erika, you are amazing! Wishing you all the best.

  • The team at Young Hip & Married were such a pleasure to work with! Erika, our officiant, and Rebecca in customer relations were quick to respond to all our questions about the big day and made us feel prepared and at ease! My husband and I loved every second of our special day and we highly recommend Young Hip & Married!!

    Kinga & Nicolas
  • We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Young Hip & Married. Erika performed our ceremony and it was beautiful. She was a pleasure to work with from the start to the finish. The ceremony was personalized and exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend these wonderful people to be a part of your special day!
    Erika, we can’t thank you enough for the beautiful ceremony you created for us! We’ve had so many comments about the lovely ceremony and the presence you created.  And you were an absolute pleasure to work with.  Thanks for making it so personal and special.

  • Erika was amazing. She knocked our ceremony out of the park, it was so special.

    Maegen & Marc
  • I am so happy that I chose Young Hip & Married. Our officiant, Erika Enns, was amazing. She’s such a lovely person and she was the perfect fit for our ceremony. And our photographer Emily Nicole – she guided us through our photoshoot and now we have very beautiful photos from our wedding. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who is looking for an officiant & photographer – all in one place. Everything was so easy to arrange. I just loved it. A huge thank you to all.

  • Our Helicopter Elopement could not have been more perfect!! The sun was shining, it was warm and the snow was deep! Young Hip & Married took all the stress out of our “big day.” They were on their A Game from the beginning and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from them. Erika was absolutely delightful and her calm demeanor calmed me down… not so much my new husband, but oh well!

  • We are so happy with how the day went (the weather turned out to be so incredible), and we are very grateful for your help in making our day so special. We’ve really enjoyed working with you, right from the beginning with our intro meeting, and it was so great that you understood right away the tone and intent we wanted for our ceremony. You made the process incredibly easy, smooth and stress-free for us, and for that we are very thankful. All our friends thought it was one of the best ceremonies they’ve attended!

    Mengdi & Max
  • Wow! We could not have asked for a better experience for our special day. In a (very) short amount of time Young Hip & Married was able to match us with a great location, photographer, and officiant. We loved working with Erika Enns! Her words were so powerful and we were so happy to have our wedding just the way we wanted it. The day was more than magical. Thank you Erika and Young Hip & Married for the awesome experience!

    Kyle & Laura
  • Erika, you were absolutely amazing and exceeded all expectations. You gave us the exact ceremony that we wanted, and we don’t think it could have been any better. From the start of the ceremony to the very end, it was perfect. You wrote the most beautiful ceremony that included our guests, gave thanks to our parents and was all about Jonathan and myself. So many people have come to us and said the ceremony was amazing, that you were amazing, and that it was such a heartfelt, and meaningful ceremony. I am pretty sure you had most, if not all, of our guests in tears.

    I think all that is left to say is Thank You, Thank You and Thank You. Thank you to you for everything, I don’t think we will ever be able to say how thankful we are and Thank you to Young, Hip & Married for connecting us with you. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant, or a better ceremony.

  • BEST officiant ever!! We had the pleasure of having Erika be our officiant on our big day! We have been with her for 2 years and 2 reschedules, and her communication and understanding is amazing! She rewrote our script when we asked without hesitation, and always made sure we were happy! She is sooo sweet, friendly and lovely to be around.

    Erika was super helpful during our rehearsal and gave us such ease of mind before leaving to make sure everything was running smoothly. She gave amazing suggestions and advice. Our script was personalized and beauitful. We had sooo many compliments about Erika throughout the night and after the wedding about how great she was and that was the best wedding and ceremony they ever been to!

    She had everyone is smiles, tears and laughter. She knew the moments to step aside to be out of photos. Couldn’t have asked for a better officiant!

    Hire Young, Hip & Married, you won’t regret it!! Yes they are a bit more expensive, but you only get married once and they will make sure you have the best ceremony possible! They are worth every penny and more!

    Thank you sooo much Young, Hip & Married and a special thank you to Erika!

    Joanne & TJ
  • We chose Young Hip & Married based on reviews and we are so happy that we did! From the beginning, they were so amazing to deal with. Erika was our officiant and she exceeded our expectations in every way possible. She gave us the exact ceremony we wanted which included our guests, giving thanks to our parents and was all about us. Erika was in constant contact with us from the very beginning. She was friendly, prompt with her responses and helped us through the entire process. We have had so many people come to us saying they have never seen a ceremony like ours and that Erika was amazing. Thank you so much Young Hip & Married, and an even bigger thanks to Erika for giving us the best ceremony we could have asked for!!

    Kendrianne
  • We wanted to start by extending the biggest, heartfelt thank you to you and the Young Hip and Married team for making our day so special and magical. Erika, you did an outstanding job as our officiant. We were so thrilled with the ceremony and how comfortable you made us both feel. It was definitely the highlight of our day and we’ve had so many friends and family members raving about it. A few of the words that keep being repeated to us: magical, enchanting, authentic, intimate, funny, beautiful, and an incredible representation of you two as a couple. And we couldn’t agree more!

    Rachel & Adam
  • I couldn’t be happier with the services we received. Our officiant was amazing and so thorough with us considering we were getting married out of province, and the initial reach out (I guess you could call that our coordinator/customer service rep) was phenomenal in getting us the perfect officiant. 100/10 would recommend this company to everyone I know who is getting married/eloping.

    Selina & Daniel
  • We originally wanted to elope but YHM had an option of elopement with 20 guests and photographer. We are very happy we went with this as our families wanted to be witnesses. Both the photographer (Sarah) and the officiant (Erika) were great! There were some last minute changes and they were very flexible. Definitely recommend this company.

    Linsey & Nicholas
  • Callan and I knew that we were looking for something different when it came to our ceremony. Not the traditional wedding officiant style that we had seen at weddings before. When we began our planing, we had not heard of Young Hip & Married until our wedding planner shared their website with us. After reviewing each of the team members videos and bios, we decided to meet Erika. Within 3 minutes of meeting Erika, we felt like we had been friends with her for 20 years and that she had been alongside our journey together the entire time. It was a perfect fit. The ceremony that Erika created was truly beautiful and perfectly us. The entire process was amazing from the first interview to each and every interaction we had with Erika and the YH&M team! I remember the day we got our first draft and I cried when I read it, because she had captured every essence of our relationship and love for one another in a way that was us. Best decision we made by far and would highly recommend them to anyone!!

    Jessica & Callan
  • We used Young, Hip and Married for our officiant service. Erika was amazing and really took time to make the ceremony very personalized. She had multiple conversations with us to get to know us individually and as a couple. She also reached out to friends and family to get different perspectives. The whole team made the process very comfortable. I would absolutely recommend using them.

    Colton & Cassandra
  • Young Hip and Married was so easy to work with as we planned our elopement only a month and a half out from the event! The staff were all friendly and easy to communicate with. Our officiant Erika wrote a BEAUTIFUL ceremony for us that included our sons, and at the last minute when she was unable to make it due to a family emergency, Jane stepped in immediately and saved the day! She read Erika’s ceremony and helped it all feel incredibly sweet and personal (yes we all cried). Thanks to all of you for making our day that much more special!

    Rhiannon Jones
  • We had an excellent experience with Young Hip & Married. They made the whole process extremely seamless and allowed us to get married within a month of deciding to in a country very far away from where we are!

    Erika, our officiant, was terrific to work with. Very responsive and flexible to any requests we made and also had an excellent rapport with our photographers. She arrived early and our ceremony was short and sweet – exactly how we wanted it.

    Would highly recommend Young Hip & Married!

    Zhihao & Lyanne
  • Young Hip & Married (specifically Erika and Emily) helped me pull off a surprise wedding! There were a lot of moving parts to coordinate and they were both wonderfully supportive and patient. It turned out PERFECTLY. Erika provided us with a unique and heartfelt ceremony, and Emily captured our family perfectly through her lens. HUGE thank you to both of you! I wasn’t sure a surprise wedding was possible, but Young Hip & Married were on board (and excited!) from that first email I sent. So happy with them.

    Sarah & Gary
  • Young Hip & Married made the process of hiring an officiant a breeze! We absolutely loved our officiant Erika Enns at our wedding in Squamish. After our initial call with her, she pulled bits and pieces from our story and sent us a beautiful personalized script to review and we were able to edit the live document – this process was so easy and gave us the ability to tweak any wording that we wanted. Erika was calm, easy going and a great vibe; she put on such a beautiful ceremony.

    Matt & Georgia
  • Dealing with YHM was seamless and easy! We did a last minute (10 days from decision to wedding day) small elopement ceremony and were so thankful that YHM could accommodate our short timeline. Rebecca was so quick and helpful at getting the admin pieces organized and was easy to communicate with. Last minute time changes to our ceremony were accommodated and we were never made to feel like our requests were unreasonable. Erika, our officiant, was responsive, flexible, organized, and patient. We were able to personalize our ceremony to something that felt meaningful to us. Overall, I would definitely recommend YHM to anyone looking for officiant services on their wedding day. Thank you for helping make this wedding happen on a short timeline!

    Joti & Mike
  • My husband and I recently got married and our officiant, Erika, was amazing. She made the process so easy and we felt very comfortable and relaxed at our wedding. All of our guests loved her and thought our ceremony was really fun and beautiful. Young Hip and Married is an awesome business and I highly recommend them.

    Sadie & Isidoro
  • Young Hip & Married was so prompt on all their responses and helped us with EXACTLY what we needed.We were looking for a signing ceremony as we already had an overseas wedding. I was able to make some customizations to our ceremony and Erika was so sweet and funny. She made everything light and really understood our sense of humour and was so supportive of our tiny wedding. WE LOVED IT <3 Thanks for being part of our signing ceremony.

    Cassandra & Trevor
  • Young Hip & Married and our officiant, Erika Enns, made our special day even more special! We had an amazing small ceremony at the Lighthouse Park in Vancouver and everything went fantastic! From our first contact to the moment we got our Marriage Certificate – everything was organized professionally, timely communication and important reminders. Definitely recommend these guys!

    Irina & Curtis
  • We booked the Intimate Elopement package with Young Hip & Married and were assigned to a officiant named Erika. She was absolutely amazing! We are so grateful to have had her on our special day. She truly made those short and sweet minutes the most beautiful 15 minutes of our lives. Thank you so much, Young Hip & Married and Erika!

    Bella & Robert
  • Thank you so much for being our amazing and lovely officiant!! And thank you for being flexible when ceremony got delayed. We received so many compliments from guests about how well you set the mood and the way you spoke and everything was perfect!! We feel so fortunate to have been married by you, Erika!

    Lidia & Edmund
  • Young Hip and Married is fantastic; they are great at communicating and easy to work with. Our officiant caught covid a few days before our wedding and they were very quick with finding someone to take over for him and they did a fantastic job as well. Very happy with the service.

    Janessa & Adam
  • Ben and I wanted to give you a HUGE thank you for the most magical ceremony. It was beautiful. We both keep thinking back to it and reliving parts of it. We got so many comments saying how beautiful it was and how good you were. Thank you for being a part of our special day. Couldn’t have imagined it any better than it went!
    Erin & Ben
  • We loved working with Young Hip & Married! Everyone we met along the way was kind and helpful, and I truly felt that they wanted us to find the very best fit of officiant for us.

    And they did! Erika was amazing. She is warm and friendly and worked hard to make sure she captured the vibe we wanted for our wedding. We were looking for short and sweet, but still meaningful and heartfelt. Her words were inspiring and funny, and her delivery was wonderful. I definitely felt a calmness having her there.

    The whole team delivered exactly what we wanted, and made sure we understood the process and what was needed of us every step of the way. Super easy to work with and would definitely recommend!

  • I was referred to Young Hip & Married by my amazing photographer. YH&M were super friendly, quick & responsive to all of my questions. We got Erika Enns as our officiant & we couldn’t be any happier. She worked with us to make some small tweaks for the script to make it fit ‘us’ better. She even made recommendations for places for our engagement photos & took the time to get to know us on a more personal note.

    On the day of, she met us early in the parking lot & we got to walk down to our ceremony spot together. Erika took her time & let us enjoy the moment knowing that it’s passing by so quickly. Erika was was very loving & personable it really made our ceremony smooth & effortless. Would recommend Erika for sure!

  • Erika officiated our wedding on Thanksgiving weekend and was an absolute dream to work with. We had constant and quick communication lines open with her from the day we signed on. Our ceremony was absolutely gorgeous and Erika played the biggest role in that, we chose the custom and creative ceremony and were shocked at how little we actually needed or wanted to do & change.

    Our ceremony went off without a hitch and was very personalised to my (now) husband and I. Erika guided us through this process and made me feel completely comfortable and confident in everything that was going to happen surrounding the wedding. YH&M is not your “average” officiant service, they really do care and truly want to support you through your big day.

    I couldn’t reccomend Erika enough and if you are in the fraser valley looking for an officiant I highly suggest you get in touch with her!

  • We would HIGHLY recommend Young Hip and Married. They set us up with our officiant, Erika Enns, for our wedding at the Fraser River Lodge in Aggasiz. Erika was communicative, asked all the right questions and was flexible when we had to change our date due to COVID restrictions. She created a beautiful ceremony for us that was customized with our love story and worked with us to make us feel comfortable. We received a lot of feedback that the ceremony was so “us” and that it was “perfect.” We agree! Thanks to Erika and Young Hip and Married!

  • Ron and I feel that words can truly not express our gratitude for you in making our day truly special. We both feel so lucky to have had you officiate our intimate wedding — you exceeded our expectations, chatting with you over the phone beforehand made a huge difference. You were so efficient in coordinating and leading us throughout the ceremony. Thank you for being so accommodating when it came to our ceremony and readings!
    Ron and I are so, so grateful that you officiated our union so beautifully. Thank you from our hearts!
    Maria & Ron
  • Our friends recommended YH&M to us and we are glad we took their advice. We really loved their elopement + photography package. The YH&M team did such a great job meeting and coordinating, and giving us an idea of our options and what to expect. Very helpful to first-timers haha

    Erika was our officiant and was superb! We are so glad we had somebody with her patience and professionalism to guide us through the day. The whole process was organized and everything we expected. Our photographer, John Bello, was AMAZING. We would recommend everyone we worked with again! All in all, our wedding was a success and very much reflected who we are thanks in part to Young Hip & Married.

  • We worked with Erika from YH&M for our wedding at Camp Fircom on the Sept long weekend. It was great right from the first meeting (we had 2). Her energy was great, we really clicked, and she was open to doing the ceremony different ways if we wanted, which was really comforting and refreshing for us. Before our second meeting she sent us what she had been working on, it was amazing, truly brought tears to our eyes as it touched us so. For the actual event, Erika was awesome. At the beginning of the ceremony, her presence commanded attention but not in an overbearing way at all. As soon as we were there she made us the focal point without us feeling nervous at all. The words she spoke were just as good as when we read them for the first time before that second meeting. She was engaging, she had warmth, and she spoke with meaningfulness. I would recommend YH&M and Erika to anyone, you’ll get a ceremony you’ll remember for all the right reasons!

    Heather & Jordan

    We’re very happy with everyone that we had on our special day. And we feel lucky to found all of you guys. Officiant, photographer, videographer, coordinator, harpist, groomsmen and bridesmaids. We could have the perfect wedding all because of everybody. Thanks again!

  • What we love about YH&M is that they were very responsive. They responded quickly to our questions and emails, and were very professional throughout. They got back to us within the day and we’ve set our date with them easily. That wasn’t easy, considering we had booked them a week prior to our wedding! My husband and I got the elopement package, simply because we wanted it very small and intimate. But just because it was small and intimate, they didn’t make it any less special. Erika Enns was our officiant and she prepared a short and nice message during the ceremony. What made it beautiful was that we were able to say our own vows for each other, and she made sure that the small ceremony was really just about the two of us. They handled all our details very well, and I could not commend them more for how quick and responsive they are considering how short of a time frame we gave them. Our marriage certificate was done in a couple of weeks too! Thank you YH&M team!

    Carlo & Marie Christel
  • Erika met with us to find out our story. She helped us personalize our ceremony to our comfort levels. It was sweet, personalized and she really made the experience exceptional! I would recommend YH&M to anyone.

    Jessie & Daryl
  • Such a great experience using YHM for my wedding. Super professional and lovely people – thank you!!

    Michelle & Craig
  • Thank you SO much for your attention to detail and sense of humour, you got us so well. It was really fun having you part of it and literally wouldn’t change a thing! You adapted your script to suit us and I loved it, you made us laugh too, love that even more!

    Cassandra & Trevor
  • Erika did a wonderful job as our officiant. She got to know us and put together a wonderful speech on our special day. Very professional, reliable, and a pleasure to work with. We strongly recommend this company.

  • First off, what a way to kick off a west coast wedding! Even with the pouring rain, it was such an amazing wedding that we will forever cherish. Erika and I met a few days before the wedding for the very first time and she immediately felt like family.

    On the wedding day, she came to pick me up at our hotel in Whistler and drove me to Pemberton so my husband and I could have our first look. We spent most of the drive talking as if we’ve known each other for a while. During the ceremony it rained so much that her iPad stopped working so she had to recite the rest of the ceremony from memory. What a beautiful ceremony it was.

    We are forever blessed to have had a family member (cousin), to officiate our wedding. Even more special, that it was Erika!

    Amy & Alex
  • We had easy communication and a great wedding. Our officiant was excellent and our photographer took some beautiful photos. Excellent all around.

    Charlotte & Matthew
  • Callan and I cannot thank you enough!!! It was truly a perfect day, and having you be a part of our ceremony was the icing on the cake.  The words you spoke, and the way in which you shared them, made us both feel like you had been a part of our journey together, making it that much more special.  So thank you!  We have received non stop compliments on the uniqueness of the ceremony and everyone is asking where did we find you!

    Jess & Callan
  • We just wanted to say thank you so much, Erika! We really appreciated you being there and we couldn’t have asked for a better officiant! Thanks for all of your work and also your flexibility with COVID19 and the sudden change in venue.

  • We had a great experience with Young Hip and Married. Planning a wedding is so stressful and for us, and I’m sure a lot of other couples, the ceremony takes a bit of a backseat compared to the reception. With Young Hip and Married I didn’t have to worry about the ceremony at all. Our officiant, Erika, began preparing far in advance so there wasn’t any last minute stress. Even though we never met in person, great care was taken to really get to know us and what we wanted. The ceremony was personal and beautiful and flowed exactly how we wanted without us having to put in sweat and blood get it there. What more can you ask for! If only preparing the reception had been that easy…

    Katie & Ben
  • We feel so lucky to have had you as our officiant, truly. You made everything so simple for us, and everyone was super touched by your speech. You’ve given us exactly what we wanted!

    Echo & Roy
  • Amazing experience! Erika Enns was our officiant and her script was amazing. I loved all the options and how great the communication was. I will forever recommend them to whoever needs this service!

    Theresa & Gavin
  • We really want to thank Erika and the YH&M team for guiding us along our wedding journey, and making designing the ceremony an enjoyable, collaborative experience. Erika was so responsive and accommodating of our preferences. We highly recommend the YH&M team!

  • We had a wonderful experience with YH&M! They were communicative from the start up until the big day. They had great suggestions for locations, pictures and vows. Overall, a great experience and would recommend to our friends!

  • Erika was our officiant. She was wonderful to work with. Very professional, responds quick and is very flexible and giving with her time. Highly recommend!

    Metica & Aristotle
  • We had the joy of being married by Erika from Young Hip & Married. She made everything so easy and was an absolute doll from the first day we met her. Even leading up to meeting Erika and deciding she was the perfect fit, Young Hip & Married made everything very simple and were so quick to respond to all my questions. Once we met Erika and she began her process of writing our ceremony she went above and beyond everything we imagined to make this so personal. Her words were beautiful and she made everything about us and our love just as we asked. Even after the wedding, Young Hip & Married showed how efficient they are by submitting all of the paperwork so quickly making us receive our marriage license in just under two weeks which we were amazed by. So many thank yous and so much love towards Erika and Young Hip & Married.

  • Erika officiated our helicopter elopement and she was wonderful! She was super warm, caring, and fun. We appreciated how she took an interest in us as people, and that was a big part of what made our ceremony feel perfect. The entire Young,Hip & Married team was excellent as well! Dayna was always very responsive and helpful and we felt supported the whole way through. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend YH&M to anyone seeking a unique elopement experience.

    Lena & Steve
  • Thank you so much for being part of our wedding day! We had the most amazing time and are so grateful for Young Hip and Married because we had such a great experience. There were a lot of things to be nervous about after so much anticipation, but I couldn’t have asked for a better day!

    Rose & Marlon
  • We had such a wonderful experience with Erika and YH&M. They made the process very smooth and were definitely the easiest part of the wedding to coordinate. Once we were connected with Erika, it was such a relief knowing the ceremony was in her capable hands and we had one less thing on the wedding planning list. The personalized ceremony she put together was both touching and heartfelt while incorporating humour. We’ve had so many people say it was their favorite ceremony ever and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend YH&M!

    Meaghan & Anthony
  • Erika and the team at Young Hip & Married were excellent. Highly recommended.

  • We were engaged in early April and between the pandemic and having all of our family on the other side of the country, we were unsure how we would plan our wedding. After scrolling through different wedding officiant services, something about YHMs page caught our eye. We had no idea where or when, but we sent off an email. From the very first response we could tell we chose correctly. They were so helpful and quick to respond, they spent time helping us decide where, and when we gave them our date, they immediately said they could accommodate us. Erika our officiant was so helpful with handling most of the wedding license process and guided us with the rest.

    On our special day, our officiant Erika greeted us like old friends and we instantly felt comfortable. She was the perfect addition to our day and we will remember her fondly always! Our photographer, Erica, was also out of this world. She was there for the entire process from the first email. Showing us photos of locations and helping us decide on the perfect time. We got married standing next to the ocean at sunset and it was PERFECT. Erica even watched the weather and the tides leading up to our day to ensure the perfect day. Her genuine sincerity and the level of care that she puts into her clients and her work, is unmatched. We cannot imagine our day with anyone else. We are both pretty shy and Erica was able to direct us, without really telling us to pose, by just getting us to be ourselves and laugh; she was incredible. The photos are absolutely stunning; she captured every moment and every emotion in that moment. Our photos will forever make us laugh, cry and smile at all the detail and emotion she captured.

    Everything with YHM was so seamless and stress-free, everything was planned so well and the communication was flawless. We wouldn’t change a thing about our day and we would recommend YHM to anyone who’s looking for something different, unique or personally tailored to what you had in mind – this group of people can make it happen. Thank you again, YHM!

  • Thank you so much for being our officiant! You were so amazing! Everybody was telling us throughout the evening that you were the best officiant they have ever seen at a wedding, and that you spoke so well, the ceremony script was amazing, and also that you just looked so chic and professional. My sister is now considering ditching her officiant for a Young, Hip, and Married officiant 😂 We’re so appreciative! Thank you again!
