Young Hip & Married Reviews

We eloped, which means planning/stress was already minimal compared to your ‘typical’/average wedding but it was SO nice to have Young Hip & Married involved in planning our day. Our officiant, Jane, was amazing. Professional, friendly and personable. I liked the idea that YH&M has many officiants so if yours is suddenly ill or has an emergency and cant attend they’ve got a roster of others to swoop in and cover for you! We did photography through YH&M as well which was a breeze to have that organized through them as well! I’ve recommended YH&M to many friend who are interested in a small wedding, and I will continue to recommend them!

Beth created an amazing ceremony for us that felt so personal and unique! She was very responsive and made us feel very much at ease – not to mention she trekked to our beach location in the rain – would highly recommend her!! Thank you for an amazing ceremony, Beth!!!

Jane did an amazing job at our wedding! Even our friends who interacted with her found her very friendly.

We were planning an elopement wedding in Vancouver from another province; the Office Goddess at Young Hip and Married was so responsive and picked the best possible officiant for us! From the moment we met Kadee it felt like we were meeting an old friend. She was so personable and ensured the ceremony was everything we could have imagined and more! She was also so responsive and answered every question we asked. Thank you everyone at Young Hip & Married that made our big day the best day ever!

Randy was amazing. Very professional, funny, and made for a heartfelt yet un-cheesy ceremony. YH&M was very easy to work with, prompt with our last minute booking, and very fairly priced. I recommend their services to any.

We used YH&M for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made for our ceremony. Randy was super friendly and personable and was willing to meet at times and places that were convenient for us. He worked to make our ceremony unique and incorporated our personalities and our story into it. Many of our guests made comments on how much they liked Randy. We would definitely recommend YH&M to anyone who wants to make sure their wedding ceremony is perfect!

Our officiant, Jane, was amazing. We began our journey with her with a plan to hold our ceremony in West Vancouver, and when I suddenly broke my leg and had to rework the entire plan, and switch our location to Richmond, she was nothing but understanding and supportive. The way she ran our ceremony was wonderful. Quick, casual, but beautiful and warm – exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend her. She really made the ceremony part of our wedding day feel effortless.

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.

We could not imagine a better person to marry us than Beth. She is welcoming, warm and professional; but more importantly than that, we felt utterly comfortable with her.

It is a funny thing to have a stranger play a central part in what is a very personal, often private, happy and vulnerable moment of your life. Beth felt like a friend from the start. She is a person that we would consider a true privilege to know.

Thank you Beth, for your thoughtful, kind and engaging self.

We had Rhona from Young Hip & Married officiate our wedding on Sept. 23. She wrote such a beautiful ceremony with our contributions, and she was so thorough and supportive through the planning and rehearsal process. And she is truly just such a kind and warm person. We had so many compliments from our guests about how engaging our ceremony was and how much they enjoyed listening to Rhona. We’re so thankful we chose YH&M and grateful Rhona was available on our wedding day!

Great service! We got the awesome elopement package and enjoyed every second of it. The pictures and ceremony were great!

We really could not have been happier with our experience with Young Hip and Married. They matched us up with the most wonderful, warm, loving officiant in Lauren. We can’t say enough about her except that she was meant to do that job! Our elopement couldn’t have been any better.

Beth did an amazing job for our ceremony done in French and English. She was wrote a thoughtful, love-filled ceremony and delivered it flawlessly. There were many happy tears.

Thanks so much! I found your service to be exactly what we were looking for and you guys really helped us make that day perfect. I can’t say enough great stuff about YH&M to all our friends and family. If we hear of anyone getting married we will gladly share our story and recommend your services. Everything about that day was perfect and you guys really helped us put that together. Thanks again so much.

We highly recommend YH&M! The entire team has been incredibly supportive and communicative during the covid19 pandemic. We had to postpone our original wedding plans and we decided to reschedule last minute and the YH&M team worked with us to make everything happen. Gerry, our officiant, was calm, flexible, and supportive during our entire time working with YH&M. He wrote a beautiful wedding script with impeccable attention to detail based off of communication between emails and meeting with us once in person. Thank you for everything!

Taylor and I couldn’t have chosen a better company for our elopement! We initially had the pleasure to work with Marilyn, but due to unforeseen construction at Lynn Valley we changed our location to the Fraser Valley. Unfortunately we could no longer work with Marilyn. YH&M accommodated us in a few hours with Gerry who works in that region. Gerry is down to earth and was a pleasure to work with. His words were incredibly heartfelt at our intimate ceremony. Thank you to the YH&M team for making our day so special and memorable!

Young Hip & Married were great to deal with right from the start. They were responsive, professional and helpful. Initially, my fiancé and I were going to go with the standard ceremony package but we ended up going with the Rockin Wedding story package and are so glad we did. We got paired up with Jonathan Manafo and he was the highlight of our wedding ceremony (other than us!). Our guests approached us after the ceremony and asked us how long we had known Jonathan for because it seemed like he was an old friend. We were so pleased with the company and with Jonathan. We will definitely recommend YH&M to all our friends/family/anyone getting married.

It’s been a few weeks since the wedding, but everything happened so fast, so it’s taken much longer to process everything! Matt and I are still in complete awe. Our wedding day was more than what I imagined it to be and it turned out to be the most loving and beautiful day in our lives.

Thank you so, so much for being part of it and making sure it was perfect. Even when my mom decided to answer the phone (lol I’ll always look back at that moment and laugh!) and when my family rolled in late, you kept your composure, continued on and made the ceremony seamless. It was dreamy, personal yet not cheesy – exactly how we wanted. You really made this process super easy for us – thank you for being so accommodating and easy to work with!

We look back and everything we invested in was so worth it! We have nothing but fond memories with the best group of people. Thank you for everything you’ve done for us! We are so grateful that you were part of the best day of our lives.

Erika, thank you so so much!! You are absolutely amazing! It really was the perfect day and all of our friends and family love what you had said and all the special moment you included (the hell yeah!, Rock Paper Scissors and the high five!). I have to say I will be recommending you to all of my friends because you made our day even more special!

They have an amazing team. Made our intimate wedding very special and stress free. Great price too 🙂

YHM were an amazing team. Very friendly, answered emails promptly. And for the ceremony, it was heart-felt and just what we needed.

We had an great experience dealing with Young Hip & Married for our wedding. We had Erika as our officiant and she was amazing.

We had Jason Frizzell as our officiant and he was fantastic! Very personalized ceremony, he had a very similar sense of humour to us and everything went smoothly. Would definitely recommend! Yes, they are a premium service but you get fully customized service! 100% recommended.

Absolutely superb people and superb service! We had a very inspiring welcome to Young Hip and Married via Rebecca, who connected us with the best officiant ever, Jane Halton, and our awesome photographer, Emily, who brought a wonderful balance of warmth, professionalism and genuine happiness to our photo shoots. We also felt that the cost of these excellent people helping us out was very reasonable and on the whole, we would say that you need look no further for your wedding officiant and photographer needs. We’d give them 8/5 stars if we could!

Hitting speed-bumps are a natural and sometimes common occurrence when planning a wedding, but our officiant Erika and the entire team at Young Hip and Married, really went the extra mile to take care of us! Erika was unbelievably amazing! Personable, professional, and prompt. She took the time to really get to know us and made sure that our ceremony was the best representation of us as a couple. The best part was the love our friends and family expressed afterwards for the presentation and delivery of our story – some friends even left with the intention of hiring YH&M as one of their vendors! Our only wish would be to have had Erika stay for the reception for a celebratory drink for making our day perfect! Thank you Erika and YH&M – you’re the best!

Erika, we wanted to reach out to you to thank you for doing such an amazing job for us and in such a short amount of time! We honestly had multiple friends and family come up to us afterwards and say how great of a job you did and how much they liked you. After the ceremony, one of the couples even took note of YH&M because they thought you did such a good job and so they might want to go with you for their wedding!

Despite being the middle of the winter season, YH&M coordinated a flawless 15 minute elopement for me and my wife. This is honestly the only wedding officiant organization to hire if you’re in Vancouver.

Our experience with Young Hip & Married and specifically with Shawn was outstanding. Not only were we truly impressed with the wedding ceremony, we enjoyed the entire process of creating it with him. He wrote our love story in a very beautiful, funny and creative way for all of our guests to enjoy. He isn’t just a writer; he is a story teller and brought our story to life! Thank you Shawn for doing such an amazing job. We will never forgot it!

We encourage any and all couples to utilize Young Hip & Married’s services. Shawn always got back to us quickly and answered any questions we had promptly and thoroughly.

I am pleased to share my positive review of the wedding service, “Young Hip & Married.” If you’re looking for an organized, reasonably priced, and reliable option that places a premium on romance over logistical concerns, this is the service to consider.

From the outset, their organizational prowess was evident. Navigating the intricacies of wedding planning can be daunting, but the Young Hip & Married team seamlessly guided us through every step, ensuring no detail was overlooked and the entire process was stress-free.

Remarkably, their services remained affordable while maintaining an uncompromising standard of quality. They customized a package that aligned perfectly with our budget, reflecting a genuine understanding of their clients’ needs and financial considerations, setting them apart in the industry.

The pivotal elements of our experience were our officiant, Beth, and the photographer, Nassim. Beth’s presence radiated warmth and authenticity, with her ceremony delivery feeling intimately tailored to us. Her words added depth to the occasion, making her the perfect choice to officiate our union.

Nassim, the photographer, displayed an artistic flair behind the camera. Her ability to capture candid, emotionally resonant moments was exceptional. She seamlessly integrated into the event, capturing not just photos but the very essence of our love story, resulting in a collection of images that we will treasure.

In a landscape where weddings can become consumed by logistics, Young Hip & Married successfully shifts the focus back to the core essence of romance. Their dedication to creating an experience that is both poignant and romantic shines through in every aspect of their service.

Their service comes highly recommended for couples who want a wedding experience centered around love, with the assurance that the logistical aspects are expertly managed.

My husband and I eloped and happened to find this company online. They made it such a great experience; everything was taken care of and there was always communication. With Covid restrictions and all, they kept in contact and updated us. Gerry was absolutely fantastic; I couldn’t praise him any higher. He made our elopement super special and treated us like family. Amber was so much fun working with her as a photographer and our sneak peak pics are amazing – super excited to see the rest. All in all, absolutely 5/5 would 10000% recommend. This company was amazing to work with and our experience was better than I could have thought

Jane carefully crafted a ceremony that reflected us and encouraged us to fine tune things so they were just what we wanted. She was able to keep us calm and got us through our vows even though we were a bit choked up! We received so many compliments from our guests on the what a outstanding job Jane did and how beautiful and touching they found the ceremony.

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.

Curt was absolutely amazing, and we were so thrilled to have him officiate our wedding! Curt was personable, accommodating and very supportive of our plans for the wedding. His ability to customize and personalize his speech to our story was outstanding and he really made this a collaborative experience. Thank you, Curt, for giving us such an amazing memory that we will hold on to forever!

Right for us! Marilyn was our officiant. She was energetic, warm, and spoke well. We loved how she engaged the guests and included them in our wedding ceremony. Our ceremony was at times joyful and at times solemn – just right. Marilyn arrived early, and the ceremony started and ended as scheduled. We are grateful!

By Caroline Ross Photography

Erika was the most wonderful officiant! The ceremony she wrote was beautiful! She was so easy to work with and made every edit I asked for. To top it all off, during the ceremony she knew exactly how to stand and how to direct us to stand for the best pictures. For intimate moments, she would take a step back or out of the way completely. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or better person to make our wedding day so special.

My wife and I got married about 3 weeks ago by Young Hip and Married! We were very happy with the experience we had with this company! Their response was always very fast and super friendly! On the day, Beth was our officiant and Erica was our photographer. They were so fun to work with; we can’t recommend them enough.

by Erica Miller Photography

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!

Shawn Miller and Rebecca from the YH&M team are amazing! When I first came across the name Young Hip & Married, my initial thought was well we aren’t that young but still kind of hip so let’s give it a go!! Do not let the name fool you!

Shawn is absolutely amazing at aligning your ceremony for you and your partner, family and friends. Extremely well spoken and continues to keep everyone engaged (no pun intended) at the ceremony. When you meet Shawn, you instantly connect. He is so easy to talk to, and he makes you feel comfortable sharing your story with him.

If it’s easier for you to write everything down and have Shawn speak to it – no problem! Shawn will make suggestions and assist you with anything you need to make your day special. Thank you, Shawn!

YH&M made everything easy and stress free! The officiant and photographer were both amazing. No complaints whatsoever!

by Menze Visuals

We had the honor of having Curt from Young Hip & Married officiate our wedding. The team at Young Hip & Married was very accommodating with our last minute changes to both the guest count and venue. Curt was very helpful throughout the process and provided all information needed way ahead of time. I highly recommend the the team at Young Hip & Married. Thank you all for your support during our wedding!

To say our wedding was magical, would be an understatement. From the location, to the vows, to the atmosphere – everything was carefully considered and curated to our liking. We will forever be grateful to YH&M for organizing and creating a day to remember, or as we say, the best day of our lives!

We wanted a small and intimate wedding while on holiday in Vancouver and a quick search online brought up Young Hip & Married. So, we did our research on them and we couldn’t find a bad word about them, just an absolute abundance of positivity. On the day, we were blessed to have Shawn as our officiant; he instantly put us at ease and the ceremony was delightful. He is all around fantastic at his job and we felt honoured to have him perform the wedding. We also had Emily as our photographer. When originally looking at her previous work, I was drawn to her dark artistic style. We decided to choose Emily for that reason. On the day, Emily made us feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera and as if no one else was around. It was a beautiful and bright day, so I was intrigued to see how the photos would turn out. We couldn’t be happier with the final product. It felt like a total contrast to what previous work we had seen but with her own unique artistic style. She is a truly talented professional. A massive thank you to everyone that made our day so special.

Young Hip & Married made our elopement super easy to plan (which is why we wanted to elope in the first place – very little planning!). We were connected with our wonderful officiant, Layne Kilbreath, who helped us organize our ceremony and provided guidance on how to complete paperwork beforehand. Layne worked with us during the few months leading up to the big day and collaborated with us to design a unique and personal ceremony. Layne met us at Moraine Lake (our ceremony destination) the day of and he was very friendly, prepared, and well-matched to our personalities. This whole process has been such a positive experience! Nik and I had the wedding of our dreams, and we highly recommend Young Hip & Married.

Bobbi did such an amazing job with our wedding ceremony. There is not enough words to describe how appreciative my husband and I are that Bobbi took the time and effort to get to know our story and personalize our vows. My husband and I were looking for an alternative to the traditional justice of the peace/church ceremony and Young Hip and Married was the prefect match for us! When I first viewed Bobbi’s profile I knew that she would be the prefect wedding commissioner for us! And I was 100% right. Even though we only had a few meetings with Bobbi, it is easy to tell that she is a beautiful person inside and out. We were super comfortable with her and able to open up and let her see the inner workings of our relationship. She was able to embody exactly who we were in our wedding ceremony. She brought fun and laughter, while capturing our hopeless romanticism. We want to thank her from the bottom of our heart

Young Hip & Married (especially Jackie-Deane) did an amazing job of making our elopement both easy and amazing. The service was professional and quick, and our photographer, Sarah, and officiant, Beth, were both wonderful. We were so happy to share such a great day with both of them. I would highly recommend them to anyone!!

So glad we came across this company to marry my husband and I. We loved our officiant, Kadee! She made us feel so comfortable and had a great sense of humor which made the crowd laugh. My husband and I are very happy with how our ceremony turned out. I definitely recommend Young Hip & Married!

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!

Beth is so awesome, and we are so happy we booked her as our officiant! She made the entire process so easy and wrote a beautiful script that was highly personalized. She also has a wonderful personality that carried the ceremony with grace and the perfect level of humor.

All of the paperwork and questionnaires were quick and painless, and she took care of the marriage certificate afterwards, which was much appreciated during the wedding crunch.

5 stars, would recommend!

We are so glad we chose Young Hip & Married for our elopement. We felt comfortable and at ease from the moment we met Shawn and Erica. The ceremony was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. The photos are incredible too!

10/10 would recommend! They were amazing with communicating and making things very simple. They were able to accommodate a same day rehearsal as well as make the vows exactly what we were looking for. We had Curt officiating and he was wonderful to work with. I would recommend for anyone.

We had Jane as our officiant and she was lovely to work with! She was very helpful, providing lots of resources to write our own vows but in the end, I decided it would be better for us to just do the standard vows she provided us with and it turned out very well! Short and sweet – thank you Jane and the YHM team for helping us on our special day, we definitely won’t forget it!

We chose the elopement package for our wedding; it was perfect and fun. Thank you so much Shawn and Erica!

Bobbi S. was our officiant at our Ferguson Point outdoor wedding. Bobbi was very sweet and she did an awesome job in retelling our story. Our ceremony was overall slightly quirky, concise and to point, as requested. Lovely ceremony that suited our style as a couple! Price was rather high, but the level of personalisation and attention to detail is well worth it.

I would recommend Young Hip and Married to anyone. They really take the guesswork out of the whole day! Jane was the absolute best! My wife and I wanted to elope in Stanley Park but had no idea where the prime location would be. We met Jane for the first time in the park, where she led us to the most gorgeous, mossy little nook tucked away in the trees. Our ceremony was intimate, personal and exactly what we wanted. Jane made us feel super comfortable and led us the whole way through. YHM is lucky to have her!

The process from start to finish with Young Hip & Married was easy and professional. We really enjoyed Kadee as our officiant; she is friendly, helpful and easy going, as well as provides guidance intuitively. Kadee brought a balance of humour, lightheartedness and romance to our ceremony. Our guests raved about it.

Our officiant Terry was lovely! Our wedding ceremony was in French and English, so we had to have a bilingual officiant, and Terry was just perfect for the job. He took the time to get to know us and personalised our ceremony in a beautiful way. Great experience 🙂

The entire team at Young Hip & Married were a dream to work with every step of the way. From creating our ceremony script to writing our vows and Jane was a calm and friendly presence at our wedding. So happy we hired them 💕

Stephen Anderson was a wonderful officiant! My sister got married this weekend, and Stephen was the perfect fit for the small gathering we had at Lighthouse Park. He met us in the parking lot and we all walked down the trail together to the spot the couple had picked. At no point did we ever feel rushed. Stephen was was very personable, very well put together, and really made their ceremony effortless. He stood off to the side, which was much appreciated, so we could get some awesome photos of just the couple during their special moment. 10/10 would recommend!

Rev LeAnn Blackert officiated our wedding July 11, 2020. Engaged in early 2019 we began planning the wedding of our dreams. In the spring of 2020 as the world shut down & the fear of Covid lingered we all but lost hope our wedding could be the special day we hoped it would be. LeAnn reminded us “It is not the wedding that is important. It is the marriage that is important.” To this day, we value those words & are so appreciative of her support and guidance during that time. Planning a wedding is stressful, but planning a wedding during a pandemic let us tell you is a completely new level of stress. LeAnn showed us such kindness, patience and grace during that time. Reflecting back we would not change anything, our ceremony was not the large party in the country we had originally planned, but rather an intimate gathering in a small church. Our ceremony was one of our happiest moments. We are thankful to LeAnn for her calming presence, her words of encouragement, and all her support. Wedding ceremonies have a reputation for being dry and boring, but not ours. Ours was full of laughter and love. LeAnn did an amazing job & made our wedding everything we wished for.

Cory was awesome! He delivered our story in a way that made our guests feel like they were there throughout our journey together. He was able to incorporate cultural traditions like the cord and the veil ceremony but made it more modern. We loved everything about our ceremony!

Couldn’t have asked for a better team to get us married! We wanted something quick and meaningful and we got all that and more. Beth worked with us to create the perfect little ceremony and our photographer Sarah was awesome at capturing all the special moments during and as we wandered around by the lake. Shout out to Sky Helicopters (and our pilot, Aaron) for an awesome adventure and the thoughtful gift. Everyone was super communicative and great to work with. We’ve bragged about how easy and awesome the whole thing was to all our friends so we figured we’d brag about it here too. Thanks again to the team at Young, Hip and Married for such an amazing experience xx

We had such a wonderful experience with Young Hip & Married. They were easy to deal with and super accommodating. Our officiant was Layne Kilbreath from Calgary, and he was awesome. He hiked with us to our special spot in the Kananaskis mountains and performed an intimate ceremony that was just perfect for us. He was a calming presence, and you can tell that he loves seeing people get married. I am so glad we chose to do our elopement this way, it couldn’t have been better. Thanks YH&M for making it happen!

We had a great experience with Beth! She was very kind and professional. Additionally, her write up of us during our ceremony was fantastic! Thanks again Young, Hip & Married!

Jef Young was our Officiant.  He was fantastic! We received a lot of compliments about our ceremony which could not have happened without his doing. He added some special touches that meant a lot to us. We are super grateful to him!!He did a great job at customizing a service for us that fit our personalities.  Utilizing their website and securing the date were all very easy.  Though I am happy to say I will never need their services again, I very much recommend them to anyone else!!!  Thank you for making our experience stress-free and memorable!!!

We got married in our home on Nov 7/21 and Erika Enns was our wedding officiant. She did a great job performing our wedding ceremony in front of our 4 adult children. She was professional and spontaneous and helped make our ceremony a very special and memorable one. I would highly recommend Young Hip & Married if you are looking to tie the knot!

The company as a whole was wonderful to work with! The people we were in contact with sent us a cute little video before we even confirmed with them AND Beth was an absolute joy to have.

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!!

Shawn officiated our wedding. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. Shawn was very professional throughout the process and took the time to get to know us so that he could tailor our ceremony to suit our personalities. The ceremony was perfect and it felt “very us.” We had numerous people come to us after the wedding and ask if Shawn was a friend of ours because the ceremony felt that personal. I would highly recommend using this company for your wedding.

We can’t thank you enough for making our day so special. You are a Rock Star! Absolutely everyone commented about how beautiful the ceremony was (and we totally lucked out with the weather).

Thank you for coming to check on me also! I had everything planned to the minute but my dress ended up being more complicated than I gave it credit for. After you came back I went into high gear, had a few laughs and away we went. It was a perfect day and just what we wanted. Thank you for everything and a lovely ceremony!

Our day was perfect! Thank you Sarah (officiant) and Deanna (photographer). If you want a stress free wedding this is just for you! This is the company to go with! We couldn’t be happier with how our day went and would not change a thing. Thank you all (Sarah, Deanna, and the whole crew at Young Hip and Married) for making our day.

by Deanna Rachel Photography

Truly awesome job Jason did for the wedding. He was always on time for appts and very punctual. Handles himself in a professional manner while making sure to have some humour along the way. I would recommend him to anyone; he made the day very special.

Kristen was amazing! Kristen was a lit officiant. We are so so very glad that we were connected with her. She is kind, caring, fun, thoughtful, organized, professional and all around amazing.

She truly made our day what we dreamed of. She was a rockstar during the rehearsal and really helped make sure everything ran smoothly. She honoured our wishes and gave suggestions when we needed.

The ceremony was incredible. It was real, genuine, personal, heart warming and beautiful. Kristen set the tone for just what we were hoping for. We are so grateful!!

Having a personalized ceremony was extremely important to us. Have you ever been to a wedding that left you with confusion, that was emotionless or maybe one that simply didn’t reflect who the couple really was? We have been to plenty of those, and we can tell you that Young Hip & Married is the complete opposite! We had the pleasure of working with Jane, who drafted up the most personal ceremony we could have ever imagined. From quick email responses, unrelenting enthusiasm and authentic happiness for our upcoming wedding we could not have made a better decision having Jane as our officiant. It’s no wonder than Jane won “Best Wedding Officiant” at the BC Wedding Awards this past year! We also took advantage of their Marriage Coaching add-on that allowed us to ultimately address some topics that could have the potential to cause a rift at some point down the road (for any couple who has never had a heated discussion about something to do with money, you’re lying to yourself). Like most couples, we only plan on getting married once, so we owed it to ourselves to invest into our marriage before it even begun. Jane was there for us every step of the way, and we could not be more thankful that we had her to set the tone for our special day. If you are in need of an officiant for your upcoming wedding or perhaps you’re doing research for someone else, stop your search here because you need Jane to be part of your day. Jane is the real deal and you will not be disappointed with how much time, energy and love she puts into her work.

I am SO glad we had Cory from Young Hip & Married officiate our wedding. He made our wedding ceremony so personal, memorable and special. Right from the beginning when we first met him it was like sitting with a friend, and he made us both so excited for the big day. He felt like one of the family and truly set the tone of the big day by creating an incredible atmosphere of love at our ceremony. I would recommend him to all brides and grooms.

We had Marilyn as our officiant for our elopment at Sea to Sky Gondola. She was kind, funny, professional, and was really the perfect person to marry my wife and I. I do not have enough words for how special she made the ceremony for us both. Thanks so much, Marilyn and YHM for being a part of what made our special day perfect.

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!!

I would highly reccomend Shawn and YH&M for your ceremony. It was deeply personal and our story was the focal point of the ceremony. We have received countless compliments about our ceremony and many wondered how many years Shawn had known us. Beautifully done and we would choose them every time.

We wanted an elopement that was quick, simple, and absolutely zero stress. We messaged a couple different companies and YH&M easily stood out as the best option. They responded quickly, booked our date immediately and paired us with some amazing folks. Lauren, our officiant, is such a pure soul and John Bello, our photographer, went above and beyond expectations. We went from “let’s get married” to “Mr. and Mrs.” in under 2 months thanks to YH&M. Highly recommend if a memorable elopement is what you’re looking for.

There’s something to be said about the fact that we had picked out the officiant we wanted before my husband and I had even gotten engaged – and we were 110% right! Realtalk: Shawn & Erika were amazing and phenomenal. They have an amazing energy, are attentive to details to ensure your day goes according to your vision, are prompt in their communication, are caring individuals, super chill, hilarious, flexible and professional. They took all the stress out of a day that could’ve been highly stressful and helped us enjoy the moment and the start of a new journey. Tara (aka Office Goddess) was prompt in communication and super helpful about guiding us through the logistics and process. It just doesn’t get any better than this super team! We highly recommend! In fact, down the road, my husband and I might just have to go through a divorce and then a re-marriage à la Elizabeth Taylor just so that we have an excuse to work with these two again… 🙂

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!

I would highly recommend choosing Shawn to officiate your wedding! He was so personable and relaxed, yet super professional at the same time; it’s clear he has done this many times before. I was especially grateful for this at our wedding rehearsal, where I was feeling a bit lost and nervous about our upcoming ceremony. Shawn came in and, in tandem with our week-of wedding coordinator (who he knew because he knows many people in this industry! Definitely a huge benefit.), totally took charge and told us exactly what we needed to do. I also appreciated Shawn’s words of encouragement, shared quietly with us in free moments, during the actual ceremony itself.

Speaking of the ceremony, Shawn delivered a heartfelt and nicely-written speech. He delivered it like a family friend- and several guests thought we’d known him for a long time. While Shawn provided the bulk of the writing, he encouraged us to change, add, or subtract anything we felt necessary. Although it is never a comfortable feeling being critical of a person’s work, my partner and I felt that Shawn truly wanted our honest feedback. And, as a result, people loved our ceremony and felt like it suited us perfectly.

The last thing I’d like to say is, Shawn is passionate about relationships and the people within them. We could tell from the outset that Shawn was a different personality type from either of us; but, just as you make friends who are different from you, it is absolutely possible to have the same thing in your wedding officiant. I didn’t know that until we met Shawn and decided that he would be a good match for us (and vice versa). We are so glad that we made the right choice!

My wife and I decided to go with Young Hip and Married for our elopement and we couldn’t be happier. They were really responsive, and helped us through all the steps in the process. Shawn is an amazing officiant and Erica’s’ photos are breathtaking. I really recommend them if you want a special and unique ceremony.

by Erica Miller Photography

I never imagined getting married could be so fun and easy! From the very start, staff were very responsive with clear instructions what to do – we even get a reminder what not to forget on the day of. Charlie & Heather are super chill and go above and beyond to be there for your needs with some good professional advice on preparing for the ceremony and photos. We loved our wedding day and not have to worry about anything but showing up !

We couldn’t be happier with booking Young Hip & Married. Shawn was the officiant for us and he was amazing. He really was able to capture us and have our ceremony reflect who we are. We had so many compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed listening to him. He was able to really capture our guests and make the ceremony fun. Thank you so much for all the hard would you put in to making it a special time for us.

Beth married us this Sept 8, 2018 and we couldn’t have been happier. The entire experience with Young Hip & Married was smooth and professional with the warm and personal touches we were looking for. Our officiant, Beth, was absolutely amazing! She stayed in contact with us through the whole process and wrote us the most touching ceremony. It was fun and sweet and everything we had hoped for! And although we didn’t meet until the ceremony, it was just like having an old friend there with us – inviting and comfortable! Our backyard, East Van, lesbian wedding was nothing short of extraordinary thanks to Beth and Young Hip & Married! We would recommend using them a thousand times over!!

Beth, we wanted to thank you so very much for giving us an absolutely beautiful ceremony and truly making our story come alive surrounded by friends and family. We were so pleased to work with you, every single step of the way was smooth and your warm and approachable nature made the ceremony all the more special!

The process from start to finish was easy, simple, and painless. The email communication made everything so simple and smooth when we had so much else going on. Our officiant, Courtney, was amazing. She took all of the things we said about our love story to heart and made the speech for the day a great story of our love together. I really appreciated being able to read and adjust the script myself. I absolutely recommend them for everyone that wants or needs an unforgettable officiant that helps make your day way more amazing along the way. Not to mention the vow tutorial made our vows not only sound amazing, but they were so meaning to both of us and our families when we read them during the ceremony.

We just wanted to say thank you for making the planning and ceremony so comfortable and easy for us. Danya was great for giving us all the details we needed for our elopement ceremony. She put our minds at ease and communicated very fast. Lonnie, our officiant, is very friendly and gave such a wonderful speech. We appreciate you all making our day special. Thank you!

Getting married is stressful, however you plan to do it. Finding Young Hip and Married made it so much easier for us. They guided us through all the steps like the pros they are, were very responsive and accommodating throughout, and on the day, our officiant (Kadee) and photographer (Erica) were both super wonderful and supportive. I really have no idea how we would have gotten through it without them. I can’t recommend this whole service more; you’d be crazy not to use them! Also, if you are eloping, the helicopter package was well worth it, for many reasons not in the least the great story and photos to pass along to friends and family. Good luck!

Shawn Miller was fabulous as our marriage commissioner! He met with us in person before we made our decision and he was our first and obvious choice. Shawn worked with us to make our ceremony as personal and as special as possible and put us both at ease on our big day. We had so many compliments on the part he played with our ceremony and his interaction with our guests before, during and after. He and his wife run a very professional business and make sure all your needs are met and your questions are answered in a very timely fashion. My new husband and I would highly recommend Shawn and his colleagues for anyone getting married and who wants their day to be as memorable and special as it can be!

Thank you so much YH&M! Our wedding was in Toronto and we had Anthony as our officiant. He was so wonderful during the entire planning process and completely wowed us on our wedding day. His charm and wit made every feel very relaxed, especially my husband and I. Thank you Anthony and thank you YH&M!

My husband and I had a beautiful wedding day. Our officiant, Terry, was absolutely perfect, everyone loved him. The words he chose for us were very special. I would recommend young, hip, and married to anyone looking to have a small wedding. Thanks!

Awesome group of people! Super inviting, the officiant, Cory, supported and understood how to make our wedding and the beginning of our marriage super special.

Our wedding ceremony was everything I dreamed it would be, and that could not have happened without the lovely, Rhona Segarra. My husband and I chose the Custom & Creative Ceremony package. This allowed us to tailor the ceremony to our preferences and ideas. Rhona Segarra, the officiant we chose, was so helpful during the planning process. She took the time to meet with us via zoom, since we lived outside of her driving range. She took the time to get to know us and was open to hearing our ideas of how we wanted to ceremony to look and if there were any questions, she did not hesitate to respond and help.

On the big day, she made my dreams come true. The ceremony was everything I hoped it would be and more. She really listened to what I wanted and made it happen. Overall, I am extremely impressed with the professionalism, the responsiveness and the helpfulness Young Hip and Married provided throughout this whole journey. I would highly recommend this company to anyone!

Thoughtful, charming, couple-specific. Our officiant added depth and meaning to our ceremony that felt uniquely us.

I’m still dreaming about our wedding day 2 weeks ago. The ceremony was perfect! Erika did an amazing job since the beginning by having great communication with us. Her speech was touching and joyful. I loved it and everyone else did too. 10000% recommended

My wife and I had called upon Young Hip & Married when we were on the hunt for an officiant for our wedding. We were immediately introduced to Beth and clicked right away. My wife and I were already doing a completely different wedding away from our traditional Indian culture so there was some pressure for Beth. She executed the ceremony flawlessly, she was very well spoken, catered to us completely, and respected all of our requests and feedback. I only plan to get married once so I wouldn’t be able to call them again haha, however, if you plan on hiring an officiant this is a great company to call!

Lise was so amazing and made us so comfortable from day one. Thank you for helping to create a beautiful ceremony that we will remember forever! We had many guests say how awesome and fun the ceremony was. We enjoyed having you marry us so much – we’ll never forget it.

Young Hip & Married were phenomenal to work with for our elopement. Danya and Charlie were very responsive to our questions and ideas and full of positive energy. The vow writing course provided helpful tips on developing thoughtful and meaningful vows. Charlie specifically was an absolutely great officiant for our ceremony and our guests could not stop talking about how great she was.

We used Young Hip & Married for our elopement. The communication with them in advance was easy and they were super responsive and helpful. Shawn was our officiant and even though he had never met us before, he made our ceremony feel very personal. The photos that Erica took are beautiful. She made us feel at ease and didn’t rush us at all. Thank you both so much!

Beth from Young Hip and Married did our ceremony. In terms of designing the ceremony, she was meticulous in her detail researching our story and was responsive to our needs and suggestions. The ceremony itself was exactly as we had hoped for. She spoke very well and we really appreciated her calmness and energy.

by SambaJoy Photography

We had a wonderful experience with Shawn. He tailored our ceremony to be specific and unique to us which was so meaningful. We had many guests ask how long we had known Shawn as it seemed like he was an old friend. They were shocked to find out that we had just met through the wedding planning process. Would thoroughly recommend using him as your officiant.

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!

Lani made our ceremony absolutely spectacular! When we first met Lani, we were instantly drawn to her charm, wit and humor. She is one of the friendliest and funniest people we have ever met. She took the time to meet with us and create our quirky dream ceremony, and when the day came, she sure did deliver! We had so much fun with our ceremony, and it really felt true to us. Many of our guests have said that it was the best ceremony they have ever attended. Choosing Lani as our officiant was the best decision ever. Thank you SO much, Lani, for making our day perfect. We are so grateful to have crossed paths with you.

Shawn was our officiant for our wedding (March 2017). Not only was he a joy to work with, he really helped us make our ceremony unique. Since the wedding, I’ve had tons of people comment on how amazing and captivating he truly was. Would definitely recommend him!

Usually the ceremony is the most boring part of a wedding. I am happy to say that wasn’t the case for us. All of our guests said that our ceremony was the highlight of our wedding. Overall we had an amazing and memorable experience with Young Hip & Married. We started by picking our package based on what is most important to us and we got matched with Marilyn Knipp. Marilyn really listened to what is important to us and asked the right questions to help us think about what we really wanted for our ceremony. She is a great communicator and we felt understood and respected by her. During the actual ceremony, she gave us exactly what we wanted. She gave us the element of surprise that we both wanted, as well as humor, storytelling, and officiating. Everyone was very happy during the ceremony.

We are very happy we chose Young Hip & Married! Chris-Ann was fantastic! She was very responsive and quick to reply to emails. Her overall vibe was exactly what we were hoping for. We were nervous to have a stranger marry us, especially because of covid so we couldn’t meet in person before the wedding, but Chris-Ann eased any trepidations we had during our zoom chat. The actual day of the wedding was so chaotic, but she remained cool, calm and so professional!!!!!

We had Erika Enns and she was AMAZING!!! She made our ceremony perfect, her words were so beautiful, loved everything about it. Not only does she write the ceremony script but also makes sure all the small details are taken care of when going through the rehearsal. YHM may be more expensive than other officiants or marriage commissioners but it’s worth every penny in my opinion.

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!!!

Rhona was a dream to work with for our elopement. Her words were so beautiful and sincere for our ceremony, and the ambiance and calm energy she brought to our day was wonderful. Although we had only met Rhona for the first time the day of our elopement, we felt like we had known her for years! We are so grateful to Rhona and YHM for making our ceremony as meaningful as it was. Thank you!

Honestly, I don’t know if I could put the incredible experience that we had dealing with Young Hip and Married into words. Each person that we dealt with was detail-oriented, efficient, organized, and lovely to deal with. Beth was our officiant and her delivery was absolutely out of this world. When she sent me the original script it had me smiling from ear to ear, laughing hysterically, ugly crying, laughing again, then a combination of all three. I would absolutely recommend working with this company for your wedding, and especially working with Beth. 10/10!!

by Kaitlin Day Photography

Beth was amazing at making our ceremony the best it could be! 100/10 can’t recommend this company enough!

My husband and I had friends who where married a few years ago and the thing I most remembered about their wedding was the ceremony. Since usually the ceremony tends to be the most unmemorable thing about a wedding, and not what I wanted mine to be, I asked them who they used. Young Hip and Married was the answer. I’m so glad they shared with us where they found their officiant. When I first contacted Young Hip and Married myself, I received a quick response (which was amazing since inquiries to 6 other officiants/marriage commissioners went unanswered). Young Hip and Married suggested that we meet with one of their officiants, Jane Halton. Jane was the perfect fit for my husband and I. She was able to craft the most beautiful ceremony for us; something that was elegant, with a touch of humour, and not too mushy. It was perfect. How she managed to take a bunch of our ramblings during our interview and subsequent survey she sent us, and turn it into an elegant ceremony that fitted us perfectly was amazing. I’m so glad that we had Jane officiate our day. We would highly recommend her and Young Hip and Married to anyone.

Young Hip and Married did an amazing job guiding us, preparing us, and facilitating the ceremony from the very beginning to the very end. The rehearsal was so helpful and Jane did an amazing job with everything. The vow writing course was very helpful, especially for my partner who is not skilled at writing. Our custom script was wonderful and I could not have asked for better.

I am glad I trusted Jane with our wedding and she was able to work with us, make changes and most of all, she was kind and considerate. She listened to everything we said, she offered helpful tips and suggestions, and her experience really showed. She was also very quick to respond to all emails. Thank you Jane for being a part of our special day.

Very pleased with Kadee and Young Hip & Married! The whole process with Young Hip & Married was stress-free and easy. We were matched with Kadee as our officiant and she couldn’t have been better! Kadee met with us and heard our story and then crafted a beautiful ceremony that reflected our love and relationship. During the ceremony, Kadee’s energy and presence was calm and grounding and full of light! We were very happy with the service provided by Young Hip & Married in general and Kadee specifically. We definitely recommend them!

Both my new husband and I would highly recommend the services at Young Hip & Married. We had a lot to do in a short amount of time, and their services were fast (like we were hoping for) however I was pleasantly surprised to find out how very much they cared about making our special day perfect for us. Our officiant Jodi was amazing, and didn’t mind my last minute bride calls and questions. The wedding was short and simple just as we had requested, however it was one of those moments in time that we’ll never forget, and for that I’d like to send out a huge thank you to Tara, Jodi, and the entire Young Hip & Married team for helping us make our special day come true.

The experience was better than we had even hoped for! Incredibly kind and helpful, super involved with our wishes, questions and worries. The best and funniest officiant. I highly recommend YH&M to anyone who’s looking to get married!

My wife and I, along with our two witnesses, arrived at the gates of Golden Ears park on a gorgeous Tuesday afternoon in March. We had arranged to meet Kadee and Emily there at 2pm with the intent to drive further in to the park to a few preselected and picturesque spots to conduct our ceremony and take our wedding photos. We arrived to find the gates locked! Kadee and Emily seemed a bit more concerned than we were, but remained consummate professionals. We simply backtracked down the road a bit and said our vows on a rock outcropping in the middle of a river along the side of Golden Ears Way and took some lovely photos (after politely shooing away a few groups of playing children and teenagers). Kadee and Emily were wonderful to have with us on our wedding day; I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I recommend Young Hip and Married. The experience far exceeded expectations and they made it perfect for our special day and situation (covid… our kids only). Thanks for facilitating and enhancing our wedding… which is now a great life memory.

Shawn was a fantastic officiant and listened to our wants and needs during the entire planning process. During the actual ceremony he organized our guests and seating arrangements with our photographer before the ceremony began which was extremely helpful. Needless to say he made our ceremony very seamless along with an amazing ceremony script written just for us. Thank you Shawn!

Shawn is the BEST storyteller and captured our energy and personalities quickly with his first draft of our story and ceremony. We wanted a fun lighthearted ceremony and that’s exactly what he delivered… he had all of our guests laughing, including us!! Shawn was on point for our rehearsal and had our wedding party organized in no time! We didn’t feel a moment of nervousness and we believe Shawn had a big part in that with the way he made us feel at ease… he is now family to us! Every single wedding guest that we talked to throughout the night and days after, ALL were blown away with that an awesome, unique wedding officiant we had!! Shawn is the talk of the town! 🙂

Wonderful people, very relaxed! Made my small, chill wedding very fun with no stress as they were both knowledgeable about their art while being open to our ideas as well. Would definitely recommend for people who are looking for an officiant and photographer for a laid-back ceremony without any added stress. Thank you Shawn and Erica!

We had a very quick elopement (15min + 45min photo shoot) on a local beach outside of Vancouver. Shawn, our officiant, and Erica the photographer were awesome. Everything went smoothly, Shawn was a great speaker even though he had never met us, and Erica was very casual to work with afterwards for our photo shoot. We were lucky enough to have both of them available for our date with only about 2 months notice. Thanks guys!

by Erica Miller Photography

Chris-Ann Lake was amazing. We met via Zoom first to discuss the details, then went back and forth and figured out the ceremony. On the day she did such a great job delivering the ceremony and getting us organized. Would highly recommend working with Chris-Ann!

Jane exactly knew what we wanted for our wedding! Everything was perfect and we are glad that she was our officiant. 🙂

by Benjamin Luk Photography

Amanda with Young Hip & Married was nothing short of perfect officiating our special day. She was very professional and friendly. We couldn’t have been happier with her service. The communication from Amanda and the admin team with Young Hip & Married was fantastic as well! 10/10 recommend 🙂

Peter Le Grand was our officiant and was truly amazing. He really made our ceremony absolutely perfect and really tailored it to our relationship. He provided us with guidance and many options that it really was a ceremony just for us. Peter was flexible, really enthusiastic, gracious, compassionate and added just the right amount of humour to calm the nerves. Peter created a ceremony for us that was truly perfect. We absolutely loved that he was part of our day. Thank you Peter!

100% Recommend! They have all sorts of packages to suit everyone. They suggested the most amazing photographer- Bree Lion who we adore!!!! The celebrant who they picked for us was the nicest guy and who made us feel so comfortable. We are so happy with how everything went! Wouldn’t have changed a thing!

Everything was very easy – from booking until the actual day when we got married! We had an Intimate Elopement in Victoria, and it was exactly what we both wanted. Our commissioner Charlie was wonderful and we had the best day! Thank you for the great experience 🙂 also, the free vow writing course that comes with booking was super helpful for both of us.

Thank you for making the day exactly how we wanted! Your team of planners, officiants, and photographers are amazing.

Jonathan, our officiant, MADE this day – he quelled any and all anxiety we had prior to the wedding (having planned it all on our own) and was our closest ally when religious differences from our family threatened to interfere with what we both wanted. The service offered by YH&M is professional, and true to what they advertise – weddings that are TRUTHFUL, HONEST and that put love FIRST. My husband and I would both recommend this to anyone looking for an alternative to city hall or traditional religious ceremony. THANK YOU YH&M!

AWESOME! My husband and I chose their officiant Jonathan Manafo to perform our ceremony and we cannot say enough about what a gem of a human he is! We totally clicked with him right off the bat and really enjoyed getting to know him in the lead up to our big day. He did such a great job capturing our story to share with our friends and family, and really made the ceremony fun, breezy, funny and super special / unique to us. The whole experience absolutely rocked. Thanks again Jonathan!

Thanks again for making our day so special, everything turned out even better than we could have imagined 🙂 I will definitely recommend Jason and Young Hip & Married. They were absolutely awesome to deal with.

Kadee was our wedding officiant, and in hindsight, I can’t see us making any changes at all. Before the ceremony, she always kept in touch and asked various questions to get to know us better. During the ceremony, she was prompt and professional. Additionally, her speech was heart felt, personal, and funny. This is exactly what we wished for. After the ceremony, Kadee from Young Hip & Married followed up with us. I am so happy we went this route rather than paying less for the standard city officiant. She made our day memorable and we are so pleased.

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.

The team, starting from the enquiry till the marriage, addressed all of our queries and concerns so personally, which really makes you feel very comfortable in a situation when you are making one of the biggest life decisions. These people are great people and they know what they do and the importance of such events. We opted for their elopement plan and that was exactly what we expected and, in fact, more than that. We were very nervous and unsure how things would go but they took care of everything so well. Our initial contact was Rebecca and she answered all of our queries so well and made us feel very comfortable that we were with the right people. When it came to the final day, we met Kadee as our officiant and in a simple word I can say she is excellent.

Kadee was our officiant. She helped us in finalizing the venue and we chose Third Beach and Stanley Park. She also asked two ladies at the beach to be witnesses for our ceremony. The company communicated very well and made us feel very comfortable throughout the process. They got back to us for our queries very fast. Thank you Young Hip and Married for being a part of our new journey, especially Rebecca and Kadee 🙂

We worked with Lani – she was beyond amazing. Hilarious, extremely warm and kind; we couldn’t have wished for a better officiant. She was excellent at listening to our story and writing a beautiful version for the ceremony. She also was fantastic at wrangling the wedding party in a fun and easy going way. Grateful for her and highly recommend using her for your special day!

Best ceremony ever. Highly recommend Mark. He made the ceremony very interesting and personal. We received a lot of compliments from the guests as well. – Sahar

We have nothing but good things to say about Erika and the staff at YH&M! They were able to work with us and advise on the difficult procedures to do with COVID restrictions. When our original officiant with them had to drop out due to unforeseen circumstances, we were set up with a new and also great replacement immediately.

Erika and the YH&M team were great and helped us with the replanning of our wedding during the COVID pandemic. She tailored a wonderful ceremony for us, and ensured that we were able to have a safe wedding.

We had the best intimate elopement wedding last Jan 8, 2021. My wife and I planned it in less than 2 weeks. We managed to pull it off perfectly with the help of YHMW, especially Shawn and Erica, the best duo. We and our family had the best day! 🙂 thank you again!

James and I had very specific requests and concerns regarding our wedding ceremony. Anthony more than addressed them all and worked with us to achieve exactly what we had envisioned—if not better! We specifically chose Anthony because we loved the way he spoke so clearly and personably when speaking to a congregation. We wanted a God-centered ceremony that reflected our hearts and our beliefs, but was not preachy or offensive. Of 180 people, nearly everyone commented or wrote letters afterward on how it was one of the most amazing and beautiful weddings they had ever been to.

Erika was a wonderful officiant! She spoke warmly and clearly at the ceremony, and working with them up to the day was smooth and they were so accommodating.

This company had the approach, the guidance, the resources, and the warmth to make my ceremony the best and most unique my friends and family have attended.

Shawn was the best officiant we could have hoped for! Our ceremony was perfect and went very smoothly. Shawn kept in contact with us and made sure we were calm and comfortable. He said some great words to begin our ceremony too. Thanks for being so awesome!!

Our ceremony was so special because of Rhona Segarra – she was professional and responsive from start to finish. She created a beautiful and personalized ceremony for us that we will cherish forever.

We did the Signed, Sealed & Delivered package with Lonnie and the whole process was smooth, easy, and enjoyable! We wanted to legalize our marriage before the ceremony so that a friend could perform it, and this was a great fit. Communication was great, and Lonnie was lovely. We really appreciated the vow writing course as well, it was super helpful in creating a format for us to follow. Would definitely recommend!

We had the amazing Melinda Orlowski officiate our wedding on Pender Island a week ago and she was simply wonderful. From the moment we met her, we felt understood, celebrated and really safe in her hands. She captured our love story perfectly and took the heavy lifting when it came to guiding the ceremony and setting the tone for the wedding. We could not appreciate her more or recommend her more. If we could leave 20 stars we would!

Fantastic ceremony with Kadee Smedley! Right from the start, Young Hip and Married was easy to work with, along with our Marriage Officiant Kadee who was outstanding. Kadee was warm, personable, and her personalized write up for the ceremony was outstanding with humour, which we wanted. She is quick on her feet too, which helped when the cruise ship horn interrupted our ceremony but Kadee quickly worked it into our ceremony and made it memorable!!! All the guests loved it!! Thank you Kadee!

Thank you so much for everything. You were a calm and peaceful presence on our special day, and we appreciate all your efforts. Our families were touched by your thoughtful speech and Faisal loved the “snow tires” moment. I would highly recommend Young Hip and Married to anyone going through this process!

Me and my now husband come from different countries, cultures and religions. Our parents don’t speak English and we had no translators. Now imagine how difficult it was be to be our officiant.

We met a couple of other officiants, but when we met Kristen, we knew she was the one. She took the time to listen to our story and prepare a very a personalized ceremony and helped us with the vows. She came early and was dressed professionally. It was a great experience.

We wanted to say thank you very much again for being part of our wedding. What you said was just perfect and despite the very difficult time you and your family have to go through right now, you were there, in a positive and warm spirit, which we more than just appreciated.

Everything from the planning to the wedding day went so smoothly. Our wedding day was perfect!! Jane was fabulous and so easy to work with!! Would highly recommend!!

We are about to leave for our destination wedding, but had our legal ceremony prior to our trip. It was easy to book and plan our ceremony. It was so much more than just a legal ceremony—the vows were a perfect fit for us, and the hand ceremony was truly heartfelt and very meaningful! Our officiant, Mark was very personable and professional—he made our day perfect!

Peter was such a perfect addition to our remote small mountain elopement! So professional and had such a calming present vibe. We highly recommend! Not to mention he traveled three hours to the middle of nowhere! Serious trooper!

We went for Young Hip and Married for our officiant and we are so happy we did! Our officiant, Stephen, was amazing; he created the perfect ceremony that was both intimate and lighthearted. There was not a dry eye during the ceremony and we got so many compliments about how wonderful it all was!

Lani was our officiant and she was lovely to work with. She totally understood who we are as a couple, offered some really lovely suggestions for us to include our family in our ceremony, and was an all around delight to be around!

Like everyone else this year, we had to cancel the big wedding and wanted to elope in a special way with just the two us. We couldn’t have picked a better company to help us through with that! Our helicopter elopement was everything we could have ever hoped for and it was a perfect (and SUPER romantic!) way to tie the knot. Daniel and I want to send our warmest thank you to Shawn & Erica. We couldn’t recommend you more! <3

Jane Halton recently officiated our wedding. She was perfect to work with. We had a vision in mind for our ceremony and learned throughout the process with her that what we actually wanted, wasn’t what we thought we wanted when we had started the process. Our ceremony turned out perfectly, and that was in large part as a result of her guidance, patience and flexibility with us.

We recently had Erika as our celebrant and it was by far the best decision we made. Erika completely understood us and customized our ceremony. So many of our guests told us their favourite part of the wedding was the ceremony. She was equal parts funny and emotional and captured us so perfectly. In addition to the fact she’s an amazing celebrant, it’s so obvious she loves what she does and is an amazing person. I just wish we could do it all over again!

Thank you for being a wonderful officiant!

Shawn was the officiant for our Pop-up Wedding (organized by Primp & Pop) and we couldn’t be happier. He connected with us right away and the first draft of the ceremony was so beautiful. He adapted his script to our requests to make it more personalized. Shawn’s energy was the perfect tone for our ceremony and we were lucky that he was able to work while on vacation in Muskoka!

Amazing experience all around. Great customer service. Anthony was wonderful.

Our officiant, Beth, from Young Hip and Married was kind, patient, and flexible. Her communication with us was great and she made our ceremony script personal and heartfelt. We didn’t decide our elopement ceremony location until the evening before our elopement and she was so cool with it and never made us feel rushed or pressured. She was amazing and so was Young Hip and Married!

My husband and I are from Miami, FL so when we decided to elope in Whistler, Canada we knew we needed some guidance. Choosing Beth from Young Hip and Married as our officiant was one of the best decisions we made. She was patient with us and great at communicating throughout the entire process. She made our ceremony script loving and personal and she made our ceremony feel relaxed and special. The whole process was seamless from start to finish!

It was purely an amazing experience. Shawn definitely sets the mood and experience we seriously couldn’t ask for more. If you to-be newlyweds are looking for a unique, warm experience and if the support and words from an officiant are important to your day then please share your wedding with them! You won’t regret it!

We’re a little late to the review party here, having been married in May, but we wanted to give a shout out to Peter La Grand + YH&M. We had originally planned for a 100-ish person wedding, but COVID-19 had other ideas. Thusly, we ended up having an outdoor elopement with 7 guests. Peter was easy to communicate with throughout the whole process, including the transition to the elopement. We enjoyed the relaxed nature of the ceremony planning process. We started by meeting Peter for a beer, where he informally asked us questions about us as a couple and as individuals. From there, we each filled out a survey with more questions. The result was a personalized, fun and upbeat ceremony. Our guests loved the ceremony – typical wedding ceremonies can be a little “cookie cutter,” but ours was the opposite. Peter did such an amazing job that some people thought he was a personal friend of ours! All in all Peter and YH&M helped us create a magical day, despite some major adjustments due to the pandemic. We couldn’t be happier with how things turned out and HIGHLY recommend both Peter and YH&M.

We put off getting married for 5 years because nothing seemed right until we found Young Hip and Married. We had family flying in and we were working on such a tight schedule; I figured booking any officiant was going to be a long shot. The awesome team made everything so easy, painless and fun. Our officiant, Peter, was so prepared and clearly full of passion. He was able to make our tiny elopement very intimate and personal. 10/10 would recommend!

Thanks to Young Hip & Married and to Lauren for making our wedding ceremony so special. They really take the time to listen to your needs and to hold your vision. Both my husband and I highly recommend Young Hip & Married to anyone looking for a warm and meaningful ceremony.

We spent quite a bit of time researching wedding officiants in Vancouver and we are so glad that we met with Shawn Miller.

Together, we worked to customize an entire ceremony that was completely and genuinely us. His infinite patience and creativity had all our guests talking about how sincere and refreshing it was to attend a wedding where the officiant spoke like he actually got the chance to get to know the couple and engaged with those gathered to witness the marriage. Shawn’s advice and guidance was invaluable when planning the big day and we are one of the lucky few that can say our ceremony started right on time!

We were married by Randy Hamm from Young Hip and Married. Randy did an excellent job! He took the time to get to know me and my husband and what we wanted for our wedding, and he crafted a perfect ceremony that was highly personal and emotional. We also found the coaching services offered to be useful and gave us an opportunity to look at all aspects of our relationship before the big day. I would absolutely recommend this business to anyone looking to get married!

Fantastic experience! Jane was able to meet us at Pacific Spirit Park for a very small ceremony and was great about following us to a private location so we could get away from the crowds. Absolutely recommend.

Chris-Ann officiated our ceremony. She wrote a lovely ceremony for us, and the delivery was heartfelt and did not feel rehearsed at all. She made us and our guests laugh on several occasions. Thank you!

When I was looking for an officiant for our intimate Deep Cove ceremony, I came across Shawn Miller and the group at Young, Hip and Married. I booked over a year in advance and any time I called or had questions they were responsive, and in the week before the wedding Shawn was available to us via text or email or phone – even when I had a freak out about our marriage license the night before the wedding at 10pm!! Our attendees (5 parents) all said that it was perfect, that it was the best ceremony they had attended in a long time, and that it led them to reflect on the love in their own lives. We would do it again in a heartbeat.

We are so glad we decided to hire Young Hip & Married! Jane was terrific! She was so attentive and worked with us to write a ceremony that fit our personalities. She is calm, organized and professional. We felt at ease during our rehearsal and ceremony. We would definitely recommend her.

We wanted to say a final thank you, for being such a wonderful leader for the most sacred part of our day! Thank you for saying all the important stuff… and making sure us and our brothers were following instructions!

Young Hip and Married was a great company to work with for our ceremony. We worked with Shawn and he was amazing! He is so kind and loving and really wanted to get to know us to create a personal ceremony that was not canned or boring but truly about us and our love. Shawn was easy to work with and he changed things in the ceremony at our request to make it more personal. On the wedding day, Shawn did an amazing job. His energy was infectious and he really did make the wedding memorable. Everyone should work with Young Hip and Married!

We used Young Hip & Married for our officiant for our wedding and couldn’t have been happier with our experience! Especially when 3 days before our wedding our original officiant unfortunately contracted COVID and couldn’t participate in our wedding any longer, Young Hip & Married was all over it and immediately connected us with another one of their officiants; we didn’t have to do anything. It saved us a lot of stress and our wedding was perfect.

Rich is an amazing speaker who brought to life the nature of our relationship through the wedding ceremony. He took the time to get to know us and what we wanted for our ceremony, from there he guided us through the details of this process. His response time to any of our questions was valued as this was an event we planned in 5 weeks. He arrived to our wedding day dressed extremely well. The energy he brought through the planning process all the way through to the end of the ceremony balanced for both of us- and our nerves. His approach to wedding ceremony fit wonderfully for us. We are grateful to have met him for our special moment.

The Young Hip and Married team are a group of professionals who were clear and transparent about what their services are and what their contracts look like. No fine print. Super great to work with as well. Without this team we would have never met Rich- we can’t say enough great things about him.

Jane was the officiant for our wedding and she did such an amazing job. She was very detailed, attentive, answered all our questions, was flexible and knowledgable in editing our scripts, and provided lots of resources for helping us write our vows. Her professionalism definitely showed at our ceremony rehearsal! She knew where certain people should stand, how/when the music should be played, etc. Her speech was perfect – touching, personal, and funny. She was completely respectful of our needs and wants for our ceremony and made everything 100% about us. We will happily recommend Young Hip & Married to all our friends!

We were lucky enough to have Brian marry us for our BC summer wedding, Aug 2015. We were coming from Australia and wanted to have the right person for the job, but didn’t have the time or means of meeting officiates from across the waters. So when asking friends and family the recommendation of Brian couldn’t come high enough.

A few days prior to the wedding we met Brian, we were a bit nervous hoping he would fit our personality and be able to give a ceremony that was a reflection of us and nothing too stuffy, immediately we were relieved, knowing the fit was going to be perfect. We had a comfortable chat with Brian, during which he asked questions about ourselves, backgrounds and talked about himself and his family, he was able to make us laugh and feel at ease and then explained how the layout of a ceremony worked. It felt like he got to know us and by the end of the conversation, he shared with us three pieces of advice to bring forward into our marriage. Today we still reflect and apply the advice he shared with us towards our marriage, as well as pass on these gems to friends and family that are about to tie the knot.

On the wedding day, Brian arrived early, was ready for us and set the mood for the ceremony. He started with a bit of a joke about us that had as laughing (calming our nerves) and the guests laughing (connecting into the ceremony), which in turn brought us all in together. From that moment he drew us all into the words he was sharing and made the moment unforgettable and very special not just for bride and groom but for our guests too.

Overall we couldn’t have asked for a better officiate; a kind hearted, polite, professional individual, that is a true natural when it comes to celebrating and connecting loved ones.

My husband and I are so happy we worked with Shawn Miller as the officiant for our wedding. The process of working with Shawn on our ceremony was easy, clear and collaborative. At our wedding rehearsal, Shawn guided us and our bridal party so we knew exactly what to expect. On the wedding day, our friends and family raved about the ceremony and were surprised to hear we didn’t know Shawn outside of the wedding planning process because he told our story so authentically! Would highly recommend Shawn to anyone looking for a wedding officiant.

My husband and I had Shawn Miller officiate our wedding this October and it was one of the best decisions we made by far! What a nice guy! From the beginning Shawn was friendly, personable, enthusiastic and caring. He made sure to create a ceremony that was authentic and unique to our personalities. He made me feel so comfortable that I wasn’t even nervous by the time I got to the altar! Our guests are still talking about how engaging and perfect our ceremony was and assume Shawn is a long time friend of ours. Highly recommend!

We were so happy to have found Young Hip & Married! We wanted a simple beach wedding and they took care of the important things like the officiant & photographer. Service was amazing and we couldn’t be happier with how our wedding day turned out. It was absolutely perfect!

We had a wonderful wedding experience with Young Hip & Married! Our wedding was exactly what we wanted; our officiant, Lani, was incredible, and made the day so easy and stress-free. The ceremony was beautiful, and so very much us! It was just like Disney…we loved it!

Our Officiant was Lonnie and I really appreciate the customized package where I was able to tell him our love story and he was able to summarize it beautifully at the ceremony. The customized package really does add an extra touch!

YH&M were so great to work with. I live over 1000km away from Vancouver but knew we wanted to elope in Vancouver, YH&M were very easy to communicate with via phone and email! It was also fairly last minute planning on my part but YH&M managed to make it all work perfectly! Jane was an amazing officiant, professional, friendly and personable. I would highly recommend them!

Lauren was so wonderful officiating our wedding. Her words during our ceremony were fantastic, we were so lucky to have had her part of our wedding!

Young Hip & Married were amazing! They were extremely communicative and made the whole process very simple (even when COVID-19 made things uncertain). We chose the Elopement + Photography package and had so many amazing officiants and photographers to choose from. We chose Beth Carlson-Malena for our officiant and she was fantastic! She wrote a beautiful and individualized ceremony script and kept us calm, cool, and collected in the moment. She also looked after the pre and post paperwork efficiently.

We chose Emily Nicole for our photographer and she captured the ceremony beautifully. We had an hour photography session with her after the ceremony and had so much fun – which is a big deal for 2 awkward and camera shy people! The photos are amazing and we will cherish them for years to come. We’re so thankful to have had Emily and Beth a part of our special day and we can’t say enough good things about Young Hip & Married! Thank you!!

Peter and the entire Young Hip and Married crew were so awesome to work with! From the beginning to the end, the whole process was super personal and customized to what my husband and my wishes were. We really felt like Peter knew us when he was standing up there as our officiant and it totally made our wedding complete. We would absolutely recommend Young Hip and Married to anyone wanting a personalized service!

Jodi was incredible. She made our ceremony so personalized. We had a Star Wars wedding and you can tell she did a lot of research. I cannot thank her enough for how amazing it was. She even dressed up as a Jedi. Our guests said it was the best and most funny ceremony they have ever been to. She was great at keeping everyone focused and on time as well. Highly recommend!

We did not know at the time of planning our wedding how important the choice of the officiant was. Our ceremony was unique and customized for us and truly the highlight of the big day! We recently got married in Nov 2020 during the height of the second wave lockdown here in BC. It was an extremely stressful time to say the least as our venue closed its doors 7 days out from the wedding and we went from a 50 person wedding to having just our families there. It was challenging but our amazing Officiant JANE was supportive and worked with us to make changes on the fly. We ended up pushing the wedding out one week to a new venue and she was able to accommodate us. In terms of the ceremony, we wanted to have something that highlighted both of our different cultures and again Jane did a great job of working with us on those pieces. We also wanted the ceremony to feel spiritual and special and Jane hit the spot so right. She was easy to work with, responsive, fun, and professional! We were so happy and would certainly recommend Jane and Young Hip & Married to anyone looking for an officiant.

Our first meeting with Shawn from Young Hip & Married confirmed that we were working with a caring and professional officiant. We went with the Rocking Wedding package and were so happy with the level of detail and the way that our personal story was told throughout the ceremony. Shawn was easy to get a hold of and always responded quickly to our questions. Our wedding hit a major hiccup when our venue was vandalized and we had to find a new location for our ceremony and reception. Shawn did everything to make sure that his part in our wedding caused no additional stress. He was flexible with the location and timeline for the day, assured us that he would adjust his intro to suit our new location, and took in stride that our wedding took place outside in a downpour of rain. Our ceremony went smoothly, beautifully, and was so meaningful to us both! We couldn’t recommend Shawn more!

Such an amazing company with amazing people. Everyone we met and worked with at YH&M was so positive, encouraging, and full of great energy. We received lots of compliments after our ceremony (officiated by Shawn).

Thank you SO much for the most amazing ceremony!! When we got engaged I thought about the (admittedly few) weddings I’d been to and how bored I always was during the ceremony and knew that I wanted mine to be something people would actually enjoy and remember. I’m so happy I found you because that’s exactly what I got and every single person I talked to at the reception raved about how perfect the ceremony was. We can’t thank you enough for making the best day of our lives beyond perfect!

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!

Thank you again for being part of our special day. You’re the Gandalf to our Bagginses, setting us off on our great journey!

Excellent customer service! Provided us with insight to help us problem solve for a covid wedding, great introductions, professional attitude and very smooth flowing and flexible ceremony. They offer a vow course which helped us make our vows special and kept us on track.

Absolutely amazing service! Shawn was so personable and accommodating to our ever changing circumstances! He truly knows how to take your story and tell it in such a beautiful way. Now we are young hip and married!:)

We had the joy of having Beth as our officiant this past weekend. By far her ceremony was the most talked about part of our day. She had us all laughing, crying and feeling all the love. Perfection ❤

It was a wonderful experience! They were professional and eager to please! Amazing pictures and memories! Highly recommend!

Shawn was absolutely amazing! He was so flexible while writing our ceremony script and was really able to capture us! Everyone at our wedding couldn’t stop talking about how personal and powerfully Shawn spoke. Shawn was the perfect mix of funny, serious and outrageously well spoken. It felt like he had known us for years instead of just a few months.

Strongly recommend! Great experience, very in depth asking lots of questing and really getting to know the couple. Fantastic job!

For our intimate, Covid19 wedding, Shawn made the experience feel comfortable and special. We really appreciated his words and manner. From booking, to wedding it was an easy process, and we were very happy with the outcome.

by Erica Miller Photography

Everything about Young Hip and Married was fabulous. We were so well looked after from the first point of contact to the ceremony itself. We had the pleasure of being married by Jodi and she did an amazing job. Thank you, YH&M!

Young Hip and Married were super responsive and helpful. Our officiant, Beth, was great and really helped make our day special. I can’t wait to see the photos from our photographer Amber! They were both professional, friendly and fun. If you book YH&M you also get their vow writing course for free. The course is ok, but free so worth it.

by Amber Leigh Photography

Jane was great and followed through even with the challenges of covid. We appreciated her working with us to find a solution that allowed us to keep our special day. Highly recommend this team.

Throughout the process of arranging our elopement style wedding Lani was incredibly helpful, responsive and accommodating. We didn’t meet her in person until the wedding day, but it was like we had known her for a long time. She was incredibly approachable, friendly and easygoing—exactly what we needed. We had our wedding in a public place where we had to navigate some crowds, aim for good weather, and walk some trails to get to the ceremony location. I was really worried about having an officiant that would be difficult to work with in this type of setting. Lani was the exact opposite. She was excited with how we were doing our ceremony and was helping organize the crowds and setting. In the ceremony itself, she nailed it! I have, and will continue to, recommend Lani to any of my friends.

We wanted to thank you for doing an amazing job with the ceremony! We couldn’t have been happier with how it turned out.

Kristen was amazing! We are so grateful to have had her as our officiant. From the beginning with Tara, to our first meeting with Kristen, YH&M was prompt, professional and they really love what they do! Thank you so much for an amazing ceremony and thank you Kristen for all the work and time that you had put into the script and getting to really know us!

Shawn did an amazing job with our ceremony! We had to make a lot of adjustments to our original plan due to Covid restrictions and Shawn was so accommodating! We could not have been happier to have YH&M and Shawn be a part of our big day! We could not be happier!

Cory was absolutely amazing and really made a connection with our story. He understood us and our religious values while making the ceremony light and fun. He handled everything with professionalism and ensured that Jordan and I knew what to do on the day of our wedding. Wonderful job and I would definitely recommend Young Hip & Married to those who are looking for something professional and fresh.

AMAZING!! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this company, from initial contact to end of photography with Erica it was all perfect and couldn’t have asked for any improvements. Shawn and Erica are some of the most genuine individuals that we have ever come across. They truly are in this business for the right reasons and their passion is obvious. Our guests were all impressed with officiant services, very personalized and fun. Thank you so much so happy I found Young Hip and Married website!

Young Hip and Married provided a very relaxed environment. They were very professional, and helped to provide a very heartfelt ceremony. Highly recommend them

We had a fabulous day. Jane, our officiant, put together a great ceremony, listened to who we are and really captured the way we are. She was super helpful in making suggestions and seeking the right feedback from us and delivered in an exceptional way on the day of. We couldn’t ask for any better and would highly recommend her and/or Young Hip & Married any day, everyday.

We had an amazing experience with YH&M who were the officiants for our ceremony. When we were at the very early stages of planning our wedding we had come across the YH&M team and immediately knew that we wanted them to be a part of our special day. We were so happy when the planners that found (Pop Up Weddings) used them as the officiants for the ceremonies that they organize. Shawn was so helpful from the very beginning and every step of the way even helping the groom with his boutonnière just before the ceremony! All of the correspondence we had with him was fun and made us even more excited! All of our guests raved to us about how great and perfect he was for our ceremony. We felt so at ease knowing we were in great hands. He was so supportive, professional, and welcoming. We will be recommending Shawn and his Young Hip and Married team to everyone! (Also, Shawn’s wife Erica is a fantastic photographer who we were so lucky to have capture the special moments of our day). Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Lauren was an absolutely fantastic officiant for our special day! We honestly couldn’t have been more pleased. Her words felt so authentic and from the heart and her demeanour was so calming and yet excited at the same time….the perfect balance!

From our initial contact to the actual ‘big day’ – the team at Young Hip & Married provided exceptional communication and service. Our ceremony was unique (nude!) – we were embraced with openness and acceptance of what our version of ‘intimate’ meant. We were guided on how to write our vows with the YH&M ebook and it made all the difference to streamlining our intentions. As a photographer, Erica was a rockstar and provided great feedback, suggestions and creativity. Beth, our officiant, wrote the wording for ceremony that were beautifully fitting and heartfelt for our setting. I recommend YH&M to any couple who wants superb professionalism with cool people who really do make a difference. A big high-five to YH&M for your loving presence and helping us make our elopement unforgettable! LOVE ❤️

Erika, thanks so much for everything! You guys made the whole experience exactly as relaxed and beautiful as we hoped it would be.

We were beyond pleased to work with Young, Hip & Married. We had less than two weeks to find an officiant for our small elopement ceremony. Sarah came out on our wedding day and did a wonderful job. She was so warm and friendly. I highly recommend!

Young Hip and Married are lovely to work with. Their staff is friendly, professional, and most important – excited about weddings. Jodi married us in July. We met with her back in September and she came away from that meeting and crafted a ceremony that was perfectly us. We couldn’t be happier with our choice.

We will recommend Erika from YH&M until the ends of the earth! After only a 2-hour coffee date with (us over a year before our wedding date), she wrote a ceremony script that seemed like she’s known us for years. We were able to collaborate on the script and make any changes we needed, and Erika offered us lots of different options for vows, ring exchanges and readings so that we could pick the ones that suited us the best. Our guests have raved about how personal and special our ceremony was ever since.

Erika was quick to respond to emails and was super flexible when we had to postpone our wedding due to Covid – she even wrote an abridged version of our ceremony for our elopement! Everything at YH&M was so smooth and stress-free, the team was easy to communicate with, made getting matched with Erika a breeze and were there to support us through the stressful postponement (twice) of our wedding day. The money spent on YH&M was by far the best choice at our wedding and we would do it over and over again.

Kristen! You are so sweet! It was great to work with you and you really made the day so special! Everything turned out just great and we are very happy!

We had Beth Carlson-Malena as our officiant and could not be more happy. From the moment we met her, we knew we had to have her be a part of our wedding. She was super accommodating, thoughtful and guided us through the process in the most smooth way possible. Our ceremony was exactly what we wanted thanks to Beth – short, personal, warm & funny. Our guests have been raving about the ceremony and how amazing the officiant was, many asking if she knew us prior since it felt that personal. We would highly recommend Beth!

by John Bello Photography

Our wedding ceremony went perfectly and we could not have been happier with it! So many people commented on how much they loved the ceremony, and how Marilyn made them feel included in it, rather than like they were just a spectator. And I was surprised at some of the people who were so touched by the custom ceremony and our vows… it was not just the family like we expected, it was our friends too! And a lot of our guy friends, who I didn’t realize were so sentimental! I am so happy I listened to my friend at work who suggested we use Young Hip and Married, and I would love to be able to recommend you guys to anyone else who is unsure.

We cannot thank Jane Halton enough for helping make our ceremony so beautiful! Never in a million years could we have imagined being so comfortable standing up there in front of 160 people but Jane made all of our fears disappear. She created a beautiful ceremony that fit our personalities perfectly and allowed us to enjoy the moment. We absolutely loved every aspect of the process working with Jane. I would highly recommend her!

Jodi was awesome. She showed up on time, added in readings that we requested, and was really friendly. She made the whole process painless. Thank you!

Working with Young Hip & Married for our tiny park elopement was delightful. From our first email exchange with Tara (super responsive) to our amazing officiant Jane (perfect ceremony in a google doc!), to our wonderful photographer Emily (who met with us beforehand and was totally on the same page with us the whole time), they were all great, professional, easy to work with, etc etc. Loved the experience!

We loved working with Jane Halton as our officiant. She was so collaborative and offered wonderful suggestions for creating a unique ceremony combining multiple cultures. She’s very communicative and the ultimate professional. She put our minds at ease and made the experience so joyful!

by Tara Lilly Photography

It was a pleasure working with Jane and having her officiate our wedding. She has a calming presence which put us at ease, making it much easier to say our vows. We loved her words and would definitely recommend her.

Jane Halton wrote a lovely ceremony for us on a tight timeline. She is very experienced and knew when to step out of the way to let us have great photos. She also ran our rehearsal which was super helpful for everyone!

Had an amazing experience with young, hip and married. Could not recommend them enough! Lani was our officiant and she made our ceremony so personalized to us as a couple. We absolutely loved her.

Young Hip & Married were incredible. I asked my Fiancé want she wanted for Christmas this year and she said, to be married… And within 2 weeks we were married, due to the excellent and professional services that we received from Young Hip & Married. We contacted them, and in less then a day, they reached out and told us about their great & awesome services … My Fiancé and I considered our options and picked the elopement package… Short simple and yet very professional and one hell of a great job. It was as though Shawn had known Megan and I for decades… Shawn is a gifted speaker, and we recommend them with all our heart. Young Hip and Married are the way of the future. They crushed it. Thank you Young Hip & Married!

I was so happy with the customer service and our officiant all the way through the process with YH&M. Jackie-Deane was my first contact. She was very personable, had great tips and extra information, and helped me find the perfect officiant. I made rather last minute plans for an unusual evening ceremony and wasn’t sure how I’d find an officiant. I found YHM online and after my first contact I was confident that I would be taken care of. Everything was handled very professionally, efficiently and personably. I haven’t done much online sourcing for services and was very pleasantly surprised to find that it could feel personal.

Our officiant was Beth Carlson-Malena. She was fabulous in every way: answering all of our questions, provided helpful tips (including excellent YH&M tips for writing vows) and reminders, and enthusiastically hopping on board and guiding our quirky wedding ceremony. Couldn’t be happier with our choice. I would highly recommend YH&M for wedding assistance. A personalized, supportive and easy solution to challenging event planning.

We went with the intimate elopement package from Young Hip & Married, because they catered to all the major parts of planning. Every aspect of the service rendered was fantastic, from the introduction, to getting the right Officiant and Photographer. We absolutely appreciated this service and would recommend to friends and family in the future.

by John Bello Photography

We had Beth as our officiant. She worked with us to include our son in the ceremony. It felt very personal and she met all our requests. I wanted to add little details into the ceremony and Beth fit all of them in perfectly.

Our wedding day could not have been more perfect. Peter was our officiant and we are so thankful for his presence on our special day. He was calm, cheerful, and candid- making us comfortable right away.

Jane from Young Hip and Married was an amazing officiant! She made the happiest day of our lives go so smoothly and was an absolute delight. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Her personalized touches made it evermore special.

Young Hip and Married was a delight to work with. They were professional and easy to deal with. Our officiant, Jane, was very easygoing and made our big day smooth 🙂

Our experience with Young Hip & Married was nothing short of perfect! We wanted to keep our special day simple and carefree and YH&M ensured just that. Everything from location suggestions to an absolutely amazing officiant was exactly what we envisioned. I would highly recommend YH&M to couples who want to keep their elopement simple and stress-free! Thanks for everything YH&M team! You made our special day unforgettable!

Lauren was amazing was all that we wanted and more. Lauren wrote our ceremony and gave us the best day; all our guests loved her and expressed how friendly she was. We would do it all again!

We couldn’t be happier that Peter married us! My now husband and I reached out to YHM last January 2020 and were paired with Peter. We met up with Peter that same month and instantly felt a connection with him. He was very easy to talk to and we were confident he was the right officiant for us. But as covid hit, we postponed our wedding and ended up eloping. Our wedding was very intimate and Peter made the ceremony personable. The ceremony was heartfelt and we were impressed with how he referred to our vows in the ceremony as well. Communication with Peter and Rebecca, who works in YHM’s customer relations area, was smooth and stress-free even when we had to change our plans a few times. We look forward to having Peter again for our bigger wedding ceremony once it is safe. Thank you Peter and YHM team!

Beth from Young Hip and Married went above and beyond serving as our wedding officiant. She was on the ball with her communication and really personalized our ceremony. She is extremely professional, personable and we would recommend her to any of my friends in need of a wedding officiant.

Shawn Miller was our officiant for our small ceremony on May 12, 2017. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to be part of the one of the biggest days of our lives! Not only was the experience a memorable one for us, it was special and unique. Shawn spoke with warmth and sincerity. He brought smiles to our faces and our hearts. If anyone is looking for a wonderful, professional, charismatic and all around awesome person to officiant your wedding, I would highly recommend it! In fact, I insist it!

We chose YH&M after meeting with two other officiants. Cory was our officiant and he was awesome! He took the time to hear what we loved about each other and made sure we didn’t get a boring, run of the mill ceremony. My husband was very nervous about speaking in front of 80 people and Cory made him feel at ease. He helped us to create vows that were “us” and kept our guests laughing and tuned in to the ceremony. We are so happy with our choice and highly recommend YH&M! They made our ceremony something we can look back on with fond memories.

Could not be more happy with this service! We had multiple compliments from our guests about the quality of the officiant. Everyone thought that the officiant set the perfect tone for the rest of the evening.

An essential for any elopement! They helped us set a date, time, booked an officiant, and photographer, and even helped us find our perfect location. We would recommend them to anyone!

Beth was the most amazing officiant we could have asked for. She created a beautiful and personal ceremony for us that suited my husband and me perfectly. Before our wedding day, she met with us to get to know my husband and me and what we were hoping to have included in the ceremony. She even contacted our friends to get personalized information for the ceremony. It was the most effort I’ve ever seen an officiant put into a wedding, and we are so grateful for her guidance through the whole wedding planning process. My husband and I have had so many friends and family who attended the wedding tell us that it was the most heartfelt ceremony they had been to. This was largely due to Beth’s warm and friendly presence, and the fact that she created a ceremony that was unique to us. Any couple who have Beth as an officiant are so fortunate as she truly is a special person to have marry you.

We had such a good experience with Young Hip & Married for our wedding ceremony in Calgary. The communication with Danya was AMAZING; she set everything up on a short notice and promptly answered my emails, even nights and weekends. Our officiant, Sarah Kemmers, was super friendly, professional, and accommodating. She arrived early and had great suggestions on the perfect spot. We also had two witnesses that were very nice and snapped some nice photos of us. Thank you for helping make our wedding day so special 🙂

Great service! Officiant Rich was very attentive, understanding and professional. Highly recommended!

Our experience exceeded every expectation we had. Hands down, this is the best wedding officiant service out there. Randy Hamm was our officiant and he made our ceremony so personalized to us that it had everyone engaged the whole time. After the ceremony, family members came up and asked if we’d known our officiant all our lives. Yup, that’s how good it was!

Great experience with Curt on their team. Very easy to work with and professionalism was top notch.

Our officiant Chris-Ann was so lovely. She made our small elopement ceremony very fun, easy, and memorable 🙂 Thank you to Young Hip & Married for connecting us!

My fiancee and I were in a predicament – we wanted to elope on a short notice in a foreign country with little-to-no knowledge of the area. I stumbled upon Young Hip and Married and was astounded by their incredible budget friendly options and flexibility. They offered a service that was notably absent in my internet searches – a quaint yet curated elopement package. Our officiant, John M., was incredible – he dealt with our last minute planning and gave us insight into a process we were completely new to. Our ceremony was short, beautiful, and exactly what we wanted. The whole process could not have been more enjoyable and helpful – I highly recommend them!

Young Hip & Married is so awesome. Rich was adorable, kind, accepting, flexible, accommodating, charming. We were trying to plan a wedding from another province and communicated with him mostly through email and Skype. We gave him a jumbled up, poorly articulated description of what we thought we wanted, and he somehow transformed that into a ceremony that was so us. Our families come from very different faiths and cultural backgrounds, and Rich somehow found a way to make a seamless ceremony that left everyone satisfied and impressed.

I could not recommend a company more if you need a wedding officiant. We were introduced to Young Hip and Married through Shawn Miller who introduced us to Jane. We didn’t know what to expect but Jane blew us away. She was professional and sincere; she took time to get to know us and exactly what we wanted. She then set the tone for our wedding in an excellent way and exactly the way we wanted. Many people have told us how impressed they were with her and we absolutely agree. Jane is a fantastic officiant; you will not be disappointed.

Friends of ours used YH&M a few years back and we absolutely loved the ceremony they put together for them. So when my hubby proposed of course one of the first vendors I reached out to was YH&M. We were paired up with Erika to officiate our ceremony and immediately clicked with her our first FaceTime chat. From day one she was very involved with the planning, kind, and very responsive. She made the process easy and fun and we enjoyed working with her along the way! Come our big day that just passed (September 2021), she created the perfect ceremony for us. She added humour, emotion and life into our ceremony as she shared our story with our friends and family. I would absolutely recommend Erika/ YH&M for your ceremony!

Our ceremony was perfect and Erika was just an absolute delight to have marry us. Our guests were so touched and entertained by your words Erika, and Colton and I felt the day flowed so perfectly thanks to you. I will forever recommend YH&M whenever anyone asks me for officiant recommendations (actually even if they don’t ask LOL!)

Kristen was the perfect officiant for our wedding! She was warm and personable – a great fit for our intimate wedding. My husband and I planned our Vancouver wedding remotely from the US, and Kristen was extremely accommodating. She truly guided us through the entire ceremony planning process. Thank you Kristen for making our day extra special!

We were very happy with the job Lani did at our ceremony and we highly recommend her. We wanted a mix of traditional and non-traditional, but we didn’t really know what else we wanted and Lani had lots of suggestions and helped us make it happen. Because we live out of town, we didn’t meet Lani in person until our rehearsal but right away it was obvious she knew what she was doing. She was the right mix of fun and professional. And after talking with our family and friends, all our guest seemed to agree.

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!

Jane Halton was very professional and laid back. She was extremely helpful and made our wedding an excellent one. Couldn’t be any happier!! Thank you, Jane.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! We truly can’t thank Erika and YH&M enough for all they have done for our special day! From the moment we got in touch with YH&M, they have been nothing but helpful and professional, and got us in touch with the amazing Erika! Erika truly listened to our story and seemed excited to be able to retell it, and you could see it in her work. She told our love story as if it were that of a movie and engrossed the whole room making them feel as though they were living our story with us rather than listening from a far. Leaving our guests all complimenting her and our romantic, “perfectly you” ceremony! Erika was eager to help and make any additions we had; she was friendly, helpful and professional! And in regards to our ever changing wedding due to COVID, YH&M as well as Erika never wavered in their help and support! We are so happy with our wedding and thank YH&M so much!!

Kristen was our officiant and she was completely amazing! Her ceremony was beautiful and we had tons of compliments from our family and friends on how great she was. She was an absolute pleasure to get to know and to work with. Customer service and all of our administrative interactions at YHM with any of their staff were professional, warm, and friendly. Highly recommend their service! We had absolute peace of mind that we were looked after for our big day.

Beth was an incredibly kind, approachable, professional and easy-going officiant. Beth really got to know us as a couple and personalized our wedding ceremony and experience. She got in touch with all our friends and family many months before the wedding to compile unique anecdotes and stories shared with our loved ones. When first meeting Beth, I just knew she was the best fit for us and I sensed right away she was going to make the experience preparing our ceremony smooth and enjoyable. Beth was so flexible and opened our eyes to the many possibilities we could have for our ceremony. My guests said that it was the most memorable and touching ceremony they had been to and certainly a highlight of the night! We will remember our ceremony forever and reflect on this experience throughout our new lives together. Thank you so much!!

We had an excellent experience with Young Hip & Married for our September 2020 wedding! Communication was seamless throughout the planning process, and the team took the time to ensure all of our questions were answered and needs were met. Our officiant, Lani, spent time getting to know us as a couple and wrote us the most beautiful ceremony we could have imagined. It was so perfectly us. She did a fabulous job officiating, and we received so many compliments about the ceremony and her specifically. I would highly recommend Young Hip & Married for anyone who wants a personalized and meaningful ceremony that will truly reflect who you are as a couple!

Loved working with YHM. From the first interaction through many wedding postponements due to the pandemic, they were so flexible with us. Jonathan was our officiant and he was awesome. Funny, laid back and just so easy to work with. We clicked right away and he took the time to get to know us (note we did interview/speak with two or three other officiants outside of YHM that we did not feel the same connection with). Jonathan is so passionate about his work and invested in his couples! We initially booked the Rocking Wedding package for our original wedding date of May 16, 2020 but due to the pandemic, we were able to downgrade to the Elopement Package with the difference in cost returned to us. We ended up getting married at our home this May 2021 in front of 4 guests. YHM was very accommodating as was Jonathan through our entire process! Can’t say thank you enough!!

Everyone at Young Hip and Married was friendly, helpful, flexible with schedule of the officiant. Jane, our officiant, understood what we wanted and made it happened . We didn’t decide our elopement ceremony location until the evening before our elopement and Jane never put pressure on u. In general Young Hip & Married is the right wedding service if you want to have a relaxed, personalized wedding. Jane arrived on time and did an excellent job at officiating our elopement in Vancouver. Thank you YHM!!!

We had a 10/10 experience with Young Hip & Married! There was many bumps along the road with planning our wedding and Shawn was incredible with being super accommodating for us and planned and preformed an absolutely magically ceremony for us! We could not have been more pleased with our experience. We would 100% recommend to anyone looking for Young Hip & Married to marry them!

Jane from Young Hip & Married was amazing as an officiant. She did an awesome job with our wedding; the words shared were perfect and beautiful. We wrote our own vows and the vow writing course was very good, helpful and concise. It helped us tremendously to write our vows. We can’t thank her enough and are very happy that she was our officiant for our wedding.

10/10 experience from start to finish with Erika! She is so professional, organized and genuine. She truly felt like a guest at our wedding! No one else we would have had marry us and be a part of our special day. Young Hip & Married is an absolute must!

We had a unique situation of wanting our long time friend to officiate our ceremony but also having our wedding day be legal. The team at Young Hip and Married had the perfect service for us where we could have our friend do the ceremony and the legal officiant came by after to make it all legitimate. Lise was lovely to work with and gave us exactly the legal ceremony we wanted. The whole team was great to work with and very responsive.

Jane Halton and the folks at YH&M were fantastic to work with and they made our special day that much more special. My wife and I can’t recommend them enough!

If you’re looking for a wonderful officiant, I promise you, you will be so happy working with Young Hip & Married! They are the best in the business! We were fortunate enough to have Beth officiate our wedding. A true professional!! She was was incredibly top-notch, kind, funny and wonderfully easy to talk to. Beth got in touch with us via Zoom and spoke to us about how we wanted to tailor our wedding. She was extremely flexible and generous with our needs while masterfully creating the perfect script for the ceremony itself. She kept us informed every step of the way, and if we needed to make any changes, she was always supportive and constructive with our requests.

Before we began writing vows, I felt like an amateur. However, Beth provided us a PDF of vow writing tips and tricks for my spouse and I to study. Following her instructions, I carefully spent a couple of days drafting and writing my vows until they were just right. On the day of the ceremony, we recited them as planned and even 4 weeks after the wedding we are STILL receiving compliments for our vows. This was all thanks to Beth!!

Before the wedding began, she came to find me before the ceremony and assured us that everything was going smoothly. It gave me so much peace of mind. She helped give the wedding party very easy-to-follow instructions on where to stand and what to do. This took immense pressure off of us, since we chose not to go with a rehearsal and went with a very simple ceremony instead. You will not be disappointed with YH&M. Beth went above and beyond and I truly believe that her expertise is proof that YH&M genuinely cares about their clientele.

Kristen we wanted to say thanks again for being part of our ceremony. You made both Brandon and I feel so comfortable, and you really were the perfect person to marry us. We could not have asked for anyone better.

Kadee was incredibly kind, easy to work with, and always responsive. She made this experience very pleasant.

Young Hip & Married has a fantastic team of people who truly care about the couples that they work with. My communication with Jackie-Deane was always fast and helpful despite ongoing uncertainties due to the pandemic. And it was such a pleasure having Jane be a part of the most important moment of our lives. One of my best friends married us, but Jane was there to oversee the signing of the certificate and she is a genuine and beautiful person who I was so glad to have for that very special moment.

Peter was an incredible officiant. We decided to have a small, socially distanced ceremony in our backyard and Peter was fantastic about social distancing protocol to keep everyone safe. He gave us the ability to make the ceremony ours, without having to do too much thinking on our own – that was much appreciated given all the other wedding details we were busy with! I would highly recommend Peter – he knew just what to say, and when. Thank you to him and the entire Young Hip & Married team!

YH&M were effortless to deal with. Thank you for being part of our “pop-up” wedding!

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!

Jonathan was the perfect officiant for us. He is easy going and cared deeply about his role in our wedding ceremony. Jonathan was so organized that we didn’t need to be concerned over every detail; he took care of everything. His message for us was personal and heartwarming and everyone had such good things to say about our ceremony. We highly recommend Jonathan and the Young Hip and Married team to anyone who is looking to get married in Toronto!

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.

My wife and I got married in February, having a small, intimate COVID safe ceremony at our recording studio. As a queer couple, we wanted to find an officiant for the wedding who understood our experience in the world and who could grasp our views and feelings surrounding marriage, and how we wanted our day to look. We found YH&M online, and heard back within a day – right away they recommended one of their officiants, Lauren, to us – who we then had an opportunity to meet with over Zoom. We chatted for a solid hour and had a wonderful time getting to know Lauren, and felt right away that she understood who we are and what’s important to us. We connected right away! We had a “chosen officiant” to host the wedding, so Lauren was simply attending as the legal commissioner/witness to sign off on our paperwork – but her incredible presence added so much to our big day. She is so kind, thoughtful and wonderful to be around. I would recommend Lauren, and Young Hip & Married’s services to any other couples out there looking for officiant/commissioners right now. They are wonderful to work with, and lovely compassionate folks. Thanks for making our day so wonderful!

We hired Beth Carlson-Malena as our officiant and could not be more happy. From the moment we met her, we knew we had to hire her for our wedding. She was super accommodating, thoughtful and guided us through the process in the most smooth way possible. Our guests have been raving about the ceremony and how amazing the officiant was, many asking if she knew us prior since it felt that personal. She was funny, articulate & warm. We would highly recommend her.

We had an incredible experience with YH&M. Beth was our officiant and she was beyond wonderful. The whole experience was seamless 🙂

We really enjoyed having Peter officiate our wedding. He’s a great guy, and he was very professional and accommodating. He made sure our ceremony went just the way we wanted it and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get married in the future.

Thank you so much.  It was an amazing day and Kristen made us look so good and organized.

She made the ceremony so spectacular, touching and unique to us.  Then was able to add in some humor at our request to keep it light.

We absolutely loved how easy Kristen made the process for us, in fact all of you did – so thank you again.

Super great service. Perfect for a quick elopement!

We booked a really tight schedule with YH&M and they managed to do it on time. We were outstandingly attended by Shawn who delivered an awesome and caring ceremony for us with beautiful, kind and loving words. Perfect!

Our marriage commissioner, Marilyn, took the time to get to know us and our story, was organized and charismatic and very fun. Since our wedding many of our guests have commented on how excellent she was and how it was one of the best ceremonies they had ever attended.

At first we weren’t sure about the costs involved but as soon as we had a chance to talk to Cory we knew it was well worth it. Cory made all efforts to make himself available to us through Skype since we lived out of town. He helped us with planning all the details of the big day and took a lot of the stress off our shoulders. He managed to suit the ceremony to our personalities and we couldn’t have been happier!

Jane Halton from Young Hip and Married was absolutely fantastic. She worked with us every step of the way leading up to our wedding and gave us guidance that was incredibly helpful. My wife and I both knew that we wanted to do our own vows, but had no idea where to begin. Jane gave us just enough guidance to help us write our vows while still making sure they were our own; they ended up feeling like the perfect expression of what we wanted to say to each other. She also helped us craft what felt like the perfect ceremony, and we’ve received numerous compliments on the ceremony and our vows following the wedding. We couldn’t have done it without her, and we’re so grateful that we found Young Hip and Married for our wedding.

Courtney and everyone at Young Hip and Married were so amazing to work with and provided such great service. Our ceremony was beautiful and Courtney did a great job capturing our story. She was also very responsive and easy to work with. She was timely and made the whole process very easy. We were nervous about speaking in front of people during the ceremony but she assured us that it was about us and if we messed up everything would still be fine!

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!

Young Hip and Married kicked off our wedding day and really made it a special ceremony. Throughout the entire process the team communicated with us frequently to ensure that they really captured our love story. During the ceremony our guests were so engaged, they shared tears, along with big belly laughs. After the ceremony we have had so many of our guests comment on how great our officiant was and they haven’t experienced a ceremony like this before. We are so happy with the service we received from YH&M and would highly recommend their company.

I cannot say enough good things about our officiant, Lauren! We had to make many changes to our wedding amidst the Covid-19 pandemic and Lauren (and the rest of the YH&M team) were incredibly supportive and flexible. We had a zoom meeting with Lauren to introduce ourselves and ended up sharing many laughs, feeling even MORE excited about our upcoming nuptials, and like we had known her for years. She has a genuine approach, great energy, and we felt she totally had our back every step of the way. We had so many complements from our guests in regards to Lauren – she was the cherry on top for our perfect day. Thank you YH&M for linking us with Lauren; she’s an 11/10! xoxoxo Lisa & Darryl

We had a simple wedding that became very special, thanks to Young Hip & Married. They were exactly what we were looking for; they made everything easy and we couldn’t have been happier with the day. Jane was perfect; our friends and family were very impressed with the ceremony and her personal touch. Very much looking forward to seeing our pictures!!

What an amazing experience! The staff are so kind and talented, they go above and beyond to make sure your ceremony is exactly what you want. It felt amazing knowing our ceremony was hand written and designed to our story. All of our guests loved it, and said it was one of their favourite parts of our wedding.

So glad we made the very important decision to go with Young Hip and Married to officiant our ceremony. From the beginning I was impressed with how professional and kind Tara was. We had found out through our planning process that I was newly pregnant and Tara was nothing but patient and kind!  Tara recommended Jane for Nick and I and I’m SO glad she did. We met Jane at a cute coffee shop and immediately felt comfortable and excited! Following after our first meet Jane sent us the draft on how our ceremony would commence. I was blown away at the beautiful words that Jane had written crying (happy tears) the whole way through! She was able to capture the mood and overall essence of our relationship, amazing!!

My husband Al and I were lucky enough to have Shawn and Erica as our officiant and photographer! I have leukemia and my treatment is not going so well, and my biggest wish was to marry my fiance Al. The generosity of Young Hip & Married, Shawn, Erica and Rebecca made this happen for us and in really short notice too! We did a helicopter elopement, and Shawn and Erica were so much fun and we had the best experience imaginable. We highly, highly recommend Young Hip & Married!!!

My experience with Young Hip & Married was beyond amazing. They provided me with everything I needed. Our officiant Rhona is one of the most beautiful souls. She was so dedicated to making our day unique and special; we felt supported and like our wedding and ideas mattered. Amber Leigh was our photographer and we had such an amazing experience with her. She had us laughing, and caught some of our most special moments. I would highly recommended these two to anyone looking to make their wedding day special.

We are so grateful we came across Young Hip & Married as we were planning our wedding. We hired Denise as our officiant and from the first time we met her we knew we had made the right choice! Everything was absolutely perfect. She was warm, perceptive, and thoughtful in everything she prepared – from readings, to our request for a Scottish handfasting, to our vows. We’ve had so many family and friends comment to us that it was one of the most personal and meaningful ceremonies they’ve witnessed – and we feel the same! Thank you SO much Denise for helping us create meaningful memories as we start our marriage together 🙂

Getting married during a global pandemic is far from easy. YHM acknowledged this and worked with us, ensured we had a physical distancing and safety plan in place, and made our day more special than I ever imagined. Jane, our officiant, was absolutely lovely, and walked us through each stage of the elopement process. Thank you so much for taking some stress off of us as we took our loving relationship to the next level.

Young Hip & Married were SO easy to work with. We’re in Australia and submitted an enquiry about eloping before travelling to Canada. They got straight back to us with a personalised video and all the details we needed. It was made super simple – all we had to do was pick a time and location; they did the rest! We wanted a simple, very casual ceremony with just us. We met the celebrant (Jane ) and photographer (Emily) at the park we chose and the ceremony and photos were all done within an hour. It was perfect!

Our experience with Young Hip and Married was great. Our officiant Jordan was awesome, our limo driver took a wrong turn and the bride was at least 30 min late to the venue and Jordan was very understanding. We were able to review the ceremony beforehand and make changes. It all turned out amazing. Thanks again!

We were interested in working with Jane from Young Hip & Married after hearing how incredible she was from a friend who attended a wedding she officiated. After our initial meeting, we knew we wanted to work with her! Jane has a very warm and fun presence and we felt comfortable with her right from the very beginning. She really got to know us as a couple and was attentive to what we wanted and didn’t want to include in our ceremony. She put together a beautiful ceremony that was personalized to us and really captured the growth of our relationship. We even had guests comment on how amazing she was! We couldn’t be happier with how our ceremony turned out and highly recommend Jane to anyone looking for an officiant!

Wonderful experience from start to finish with YH&M! From my initial inquiry, right through to the ceremony day they were extremely responsive and transparent with all costs and services. Super fair pricing and amazing vendors. Great company! Thank you 🙂

Such an amazing experience! We had switched our wedding plans several times due to the pandemic and decided in the end to elope. The team at Young Hip and Married were so great to work with and special shout out to Jane for being making our wedding still feel special. Would highly recommend!

We had an excellent experience with Young Hip & Married, who facilitated our intimate ceremony even whilst everything was disrupted by COVID. The communication was great throughout, and our officiant Erika really took the time to get to know us and make our ceremony special. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you so much to Jane at Young Hip & Married, the experience from start to finish was great. Jane shared ideas, resources and her script with us. I felt like we were able to co-create the tone, atmosphere and language that mattered to us as we made our promises. Most of our communication happened via email and Google docs which worked really well for us. Jane was really flexible and responsive to questions and changes. Most important to us was that Jane has a really lovely presence and led us and our family & friends through the ceremony in a warm, thoughtful, and beautiful way. The ceremony was exactly what we hoped it would be. Thank you so much Jane!

One of the best choices we made for our wedding was booking with YH&M. We were fortunate enough to work with Shawn and Erica and they were absolutely phenomenal!!! We had a small intimate wedding and Shawn created an incredible ceremony for us and it fit us perfectly. Erica did an amazing job with the pictures and they all turned out great. All of our guests spoke so highly of the ceremony and the pictures! We highly recommend Shawn and Erica
to anyone considering Young Hip & Married for their wedding!

We really enjoyed our wedding, they made it super easy for us to elope. Charlie was super professional and so friendly she really made our special day perfect. We highly recommend it to anyone.

Bobbi was absolutely incredible, making a real effort (and succeeding) in connecting with us. She made our special day the best it could be.

Jane’s ceremony script was so personalized and sweet. She put a lot of work into making it tailored to us and did such an amazing job reading it at the ceremony. We got so much feedback from all of our guests about how much they loved it and what a great job she did. It was so special and perfect. She also made sure we felt confident and knew what we were supposed to be doing the whole time. 10/10 would recommend Young Hip & Married to anyone looking for a fantastic officiant!

Thanks so much to the team at YHM and especially to our wonderful officiant, Jane. Jane was outstanding. She was patient with use through the preparation, she was funny and insightful in her presentation, and she made us both feel so great during the event. Lots of great comments about Jane from those we shared the day with as well. Most of the comments were about how personal she made the event through her words and comments. Julie and I so appreciate all that Jane did to support us through this exciting process.

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.

Kadee was very professional and her personalized speech was very touching and a great addition to the ceremony. She took the time to speak with close friends and family to make the ceremony more interesting, and very memorable and heartfelt for us and our family and friends.

My Mother-in-Law is still talking about the cool boots that Shawn wore. More importantly though he tailored his service to maximize the amount of time we had for pictures in the cool setting where we got married.

Our officiant, Erika, took the time to get to know us as a couple and to truly understand exactly what we wanted out of our wedding ceremony. We were able to have complete control over the script and Erika provided us with a lot of suggestions along the way. We wrote our own vows, combining some provided by Erika and our own words. We thought that the ceremony was the perfect length and tone. I liked that we could communicate by text, phone and email. We would highly recommend Erika and Young Hip & Married to prospective couples.

We are completely thrilled with our experience with Young Hip & Married. From the first email from Jackie-Deane with a cute personalized video and all the details we needed, to a fun photo shoot in a park near our venue with Amber, to an amazing ceremony written and performed by Beth. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect, stress free day. We were very impressed with Beth. She really took time to get to know us. We started by filling out an online form with our ceremony preferences. Beth also took time to have a coffee with us in person to learn more about how we met and our relationship. She provided us with a script for the ceremony in advance. It really captured our journey together, and we both shed tears reading it. On the big day, Beth’s delivery of our ceremony was perfect!! She told the story of us in such a way that there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. I would absolutely recommend Beth to anyone looking for a simple stress free ceremony. Amber was great! She asked us in advance if we had any specific preferences for our photos and even suggested meeting at a park near our venue before the ceremony for 30 minutes; since we were married in late November, she wanted to make sure we could take advantage of the last of the daylight. At the ceremony, Amber seemed to blend into the decor. We forgot she was there and she got all the shots that we wanted of our ceremony and guests.

by Amber Leigh Photography

We absolutely loved having Shawn! His approach was brilliant – his delivery perfect – and his green shoes incredible. Shawn made sure that the ceremony was just like we had envisioned.

We loooved how Young Hip and Married was so simple and straight forward with planning our special day. Jane was our officiant and she was amazing. Emily Nicole was our photographer; we totally recommend her if you want your pictures to blow your mind. They both made us feel at ease and kept the process easy, simple and fun. We loved every minute of it.

Young Hip and Married were great from start to finish, especially our officiant Erika. We honestly can’t thank her enough! Any questions we had she answered right away and made our special day extra special. You were so patient with us and really made us feel comfortable from start to end.

Absolutely amazing service! Shawn was so personable and accommodating to our ever changing circumstances! He truly knows how to take your story and tell it in such a beautiful way. Now we are young hip and married!:)

Jane was absolutely amazing officiating my wedding. She’s so easy going, and personalized our ceremony brilliantly to suit the exact mood and style we wanted. Worth every penny. Thanks again Jane!

Kristen, from Young Hip & Married, officiated our wedding this August and I can only begin to tell you how amazing she is! I had an officiant already booked for our wedding, but when friends of ours got married in June with Kristen, I just knew I had to have her and cancelled our old officiant and booked her immediately! Kristen was amazing from the first email. She is incredibly sweet, prompt with returning emails, her outfits are appropriate and beautiful, and she just absolutely loves her job. Kristen is the first to tell you that she loves love and it is so apparent. Our ceremony was so personalized because Kristen actually cares enough to truly get to know her couples! I have had multiple friends and family members come to me and say how awesome she was also. I would recommend her to anyone and the cost is so worth it!

The staff at Young Hip & Married were a pleasure to deal with. They were very responsive and helpful in every way they could be. We coordinated with both Shawn Miller & Tara Volney.

Our officiant, Anthony, took the time to meet with us and have a casual conversation to learn who we were and walk us through what to expect with our upcoming ceremony.

Overall, I would recommend the entire team!!

Shawn was simply amazing! So many of our guests commented on how they felt like he was marrying them too 🙂 He really connected with the crowd, and was such a please to deal with during the whole process.

Working with Shawn was seamless and very tailored to us and our story. He brought charm and energy into the ceremony that was a perfect balance to the love and emotion we were feeling. This was our second marriage so we knew what experience we wanted. Shawn was understanding and onboard and took our lead but also helped guide us on best practices. We said “I Do”! Success! Thank you, Shawn!

We chose the elopement + photography package which included the wedding ceremony (vows, ring exchange, signing of papers) followed by 1 hr of photo’s. It was perfect from start to finish! Erica our photographer was so fun and knew exactly the style we wanted. Shawn was our officiant and he was so down to earth and kind. It was a bonus that they are a husband and wife duo! Couldn’t be any happier with choosing Young, Hip and Married for our special day.

I went back and forth about hiring YH&M for quite a while. It is a lot of money to spend on an officiant. Beth ended up being so much more than I wanted. She was super attentive and paid attention to every detail. It really showed in our script. It was perfect. Everyone absolutely adored how personal our ceremony was. It made our vows that much more special as well. Thank you so much Beth for everything. I will recommend you and YH&M to everyone <3

We had Young Hip and Married officiate our wedding. We had met with a few officiants before ultimately choosing Wade Lifton. He did an amazing job giving the casual, light hearted wedding we wanted. The rehearsal went well with him giving his expertise and letting us choose how we really wanted our special day to pan out. Thank everyone at Young Hip and Married for making our special day even more special.

We are very glad that we chose Young Hip & Married for our wedding. Erica & Kadee were both equally professional and relaxed. They were very flexible and responsive to our requests. The ceremony went smoothly and the views were spectacular. The ride in the helicopter was very smooth, and the pilot friendly and professional. We were pleased with our photos. On the whole, we HIGHLY recommend Young Hip & Married!

Thank you Young Hip & Married! We were lucky enough to have Peter as our officiant; he was awesome! Peter contacted us early and helped us understand how the ceremony would flow and never pressured us when we were late with our vows. We came all the way from Florida and Peter made us feel comfortable from afar. Unfortunately, on the day of the ceremony, weather related challenges cancelled our original plans. We were faced with making on-the-spot changes and Peter was key in keeping us calm and reminded us that the day unfolded exactly the way it was supposed to. It was beautiful – just really cold! Thank you, Peter, for being an awesome human and making our ceremony something we will never forget!

We loved working with YH&M! Jodi officiated our AB wedding and our ceremony was so uniquely us! Both my hubby and I wanted a unique experience that spoke to our love story. Neither one of us are religious and we never felt weird or pressured to include anything in the ceremony we didn’t want. Also, the ability to be able to read your ceremony over before your wedding day is SO WORTH IT. We’ve been to so many weddings before where the officiant randomly throws in a joke or reference that doesn’t feel right for the couple and throws off the vibe of the ceremony. Jodi was on point with the tone we were going for from the beginning and did her research by reaching out to our family and friends. We really felt like she knew us well and that our ceremony reflected our love for each other from a real and honest place.

Hot tip for people who think reading your ceremony beforehand “isn’t romantic”: my hubby and I got our ceremony months before our day and we decided to read it over just one time. By the time the day came it was fresh and new again and we cried just as much the first time we heard it as we did the first time we read it. Thanks YH&M for making our day uniquely us.

My wife, Teresa, and I are incredibly happy with our experience with Young Hip & Married. Everything was so well coordinated and absolutely painless. Rebecca helped connect us to Jane, our officiant, and Clint, our photographer, after letting us describe the kind of ceremony we wanted. Jane officiated beautifully, adding wonderful and intimate touches to our vows. Clint managed to capture so much of our essence as a couple. His beautiful shots will be cherished forever by us. We cannot recommend this company enough. They have a human approach to their business and made us feel special and fully part of the entire process. Thank you so much for everything 🙂

Thank you so much to the Young Hip & Married team! Our officiant, Jane Halton, did an amazing job that exceeded our expectations!

Thank you Jane for making it a very special ceremony for us, it will live on in our memories forever!

I was so excited to have Janie officiate our wedding and she could not have done a better job! Janie took the time to meet with us and learn everything from the balance of how many readings to incorporate to how we met and what our relationship really looked like. She gave me confidence that the ceremony would be perfect because she worked with us to make sure we knew exactly what the key elements of the ceremony would be and she was flexible when we last minute decided to have our friends play a song too! Her sermon was equally sweet, spiritual, personal, with a touch of that classic Janie humor. So thankful she officiated our wedding!

Young Hip and Married is an exceptional group of people who we felt genuinely cared that we have the best wedding experience possible, from the very beginning to the big day, and even after! We so appreciated the entire process, and the flexibility for us to be involved in the writing of the ceremony. Both us and our guests were blown away on the execution by Erika on the day of the wedding. Certainly a milestone moment in our lives we will look back on with smiles on our faces.

My husband was the groomsman at a friend’s wedding where Lani from Young Hip & Married was the officiant. He enjoyed the ceremony so much that he insisted we go with them for our wedding ceremony. When we met with Lani, I can see why he enjoyed it so much – Lani got to know us well, and tried to incorporate our personalities, hobbies/interests into our ceremony. During our actual ceremony, she had the audience engaged, and laced together words and quotes that described us into the ceremony proceedings – to audience members, it seemed like she knew us well like good friends. It was relaxed, non-traditional, but yet still touching – I was crying before we even got to the vows! Many of our friends and family said it was the best ceremony they’ve ever been to – so if you’re looking for a personalized, not boring, and non-traditional ceremony, you’ve found the right people! They also offer premarital coaching to hone communication skills to set you up in the right steps.

We worked with both Shawn and Erica for our spring wedding back in 2021. They were absolutely incredible as we navigated planning a wedding during the pandemic. Erica’s photography was stunning and we are so thankful that she was able to capture our day. Thank you to you both!

Thanks to Young Hip & Married we had a very stress-free experience, I honestly think it’s the only way to get married. We would have never thought to get married at Bloedel Conservatory but the minute we seen it suggested on the website we knew it was the perfect place.

Rebecca responded quickly, was very kind and extremely helpful. Jane is an amazing officiant, we really appreciate how simple it was to decide on a wedding script and how informative and efficient Jane was. Erica was also amazing! Erica helped us pose a little but also did the most amazing job capturing genuine and organic moments. We felt comfortable immediately and absolutely love our photos.

Everyone is so professional, response times were so quick, everyone kept us informed – Jane even emailed us 2 days after our wedding to let us know our license had been sent! We thought that was very quick!! Our photos also came back quickly, right at the 4 week mark when they were promised! We will be recommending Young Hip & Married to everyone we know!! (even the single ones)

Thanks Young Hip & Married team for being part of our ceremony. The team was very responsive, helpful and supportive. They made everything clear, easy to understand and stress-free. Thanks Jane and Erica again for being with us on a rainy windy day. Highly recommended!

From the moment we contacted them, the customer service was amazing! Jackie sent us a super fun personable video and was prompt to respond to our questions. Jane helped us pick a location to get married and was also very quick to respond to any questions we had. Jane’s energy was great during the ceremony. We also loved her outfit! Would highly recommend Young Hip and Married!

Young Hip & Married are an incredible team that provide the very best service. We wanted a quiet, personal and intimate experience and thanks to this wonderful team, we got just what we wanted. I highly recommend you try Young Hip & Married if you ever thought of having that special day with that special someone. They will be with you every step of the way, helping you through what can be an overwhelming experience and making it an easy journey to fulfill. Thank you to everyone at Young Hip & Married and thank you to Erika Enns, our officiant, for leading our elopement and for being a delightful human!

We had the most amazing officiant! Jason was thorough, accommodating and kept us loose throughout the rehearsal and our big day! I’d recommend Young Hip & Married to any couple and couldn’t imagine our day without them!

The entire process was seamless and really appreciated the vow writing course. Erika was wonderful and would highly recommend YHM and Erika to anyone! 🙂

My husband and I found Young Hip & Married via Google and were immediately drawn to the company as they offer a fantastic service that allows couples to facilitate a personalized ceremony where they can be “married” by a friend/family member, while still having the marriage/ceremony be legalized through the attendance of one of YH&M’s officiants who is witnessing the ceremony and comes up for the legal signing of the licence (which could also be done ahead of time or afterwards at the couple’s choosing).

It was important to us to have the legalization of our marriage done during the ceremony, and YH&M was incredibly accommodating and set us up with Erika Enns, who was an absolute pleasure to work with. We spoke with Erika over the phone and she immediately was kind and supportive of our plan, understanding what we wanted right off the bat.

On our wedding day, she arrived early and prepared and having previously gave her our license, she brought it up for the signing during the ceremony. Erika was quick and efficient, very helpfully ensuring the ceremony continued on easily while clearly explaining who needed to sign what and where. She was so nice to work with and was a perfect addition to our day! Thank you so very much YH&M and Erika for making our vision come true!

We eloped with YH&M early May 2018. We chose the package with Sky Helicopters and got married on top of a mountain in Pitt Meadows (unreal). Beth, our officiant, was amazing. She worked with us to create a ceremony perfect for us and made us feel so comfortable from the minute we met. Erica, our talented photographer, captured everything …before we took off, the flight, on the mountain… from the preview we have seen the shots are gorgeous. Tara in the office was so helpful answering ALL of my questions (many of them multiple times) in a timely and informative manner. Highly, highly recommend using Young Hip & Married!

Arranging an officiant with the Young Hip and Married team was easy and quick! We had Johnathan as our officiant and we can’t say enough positive things; he was kind, and easy to talk to. He was so friendly and open to ideas. He also gave us some really great advice. The ceremony went off without a hitch! Johnathan was funny, interesting, sweet and engaging; our guests loved him, we loved him. It was so so great. I would recommend going with YH&M to ANYONE who plans on getting hitched! Very positive and amazing experience.

Darren is a gift and I can still remember a question that Darren asked us when he was helping craft our ceremony. The question was simple and yet profound, “Why do you want to do this?” That simple question led to such a rich discussion, which Darren thoughtfully guided and then used to craft a truly meaningful marriage experience both for Lisa and I, as well as all our friends and family. Darren has this almost magical way of making you feel very grounded, that’s something I can very clearly remember feeling during our ceremony. Lisa and I have the honour of saying that we were Darren’s first wedding. The memories he helped us make were — like him — a gift.

We had a great experience using Young Hip and Married for our wedding! We had Jane as our officiant – she was super friendly and was very easy to communicate with throughout our whole wedding process. We had to change our venue 3 times, and she was able to accommodate every change we made. She wasn’t able to make it to our rehearsal, but she made us a personal video outlining every important detail for us to know. She was very responsive to our emails and questions; we couldn’t be happier with the service she provided. Would recommend using her and YH&M for your ceremony!

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!

Randy Hamm was the officiant for our wedding and he was OUTSTANDING!! All of our guests raved about how good he was. He got everyone involved, and kept them entertained. If you are looking for an officiant that is unlike any other, Randy is your guy! The team at Young Hip & Married were very easy to correspond with (which isn’t always the case with wedding vendors, unfortunately). Randy gave us the ceremony that we were dreaming of. He kept it light hearted and very personalized. We didn’t want anything scripted. He was able to tell a story about US. Thank you Randy! *round of applause*

Young Hip and Married were fantastic to work with. From the personalized video introduction of the company, to helping us with recommendations, and finally the meaningful and heartfelt officiating (by Shawn) and capturing-the-moment photography (by Erica). They really helped to make our elopement unforgettable.

Shawn was genuine, sincere, and more than willing and flexible to help us out on our big day! We hit a big bump in the road with our original plans due to COVID-19 but Shawn pulled through for us at the last minute and made it so magical. He walked us through the entire process and was available to us every step of the way. His wife, Erica, even photographed us during and after the ceremony and they are both truly such an awesome team. Thank you Shawn and Erica!

Having Young Hip & Married officiate our elopement was extremely easy and fun. Rhona, our officiant, was great! She’s very kind and sincere and Mark and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. We are very happy we chose Young Hip & Married to be part of our special day! Thank you once again!

Using Jason Frizzell from Young Hip and Married for our officiant was hands down the BEST decision we could have ever made! He was so accommodating, creative, and encouraging when it came to writing what we wanted for our ceremony. He really let us make it exactly what we wanted and executed it perfectly. He kept in contact with us regarding the ceremony and even just to check up on us – he even Facetimed with us while we were in Germany! He truly took the time to get to know us and on the big day, it was so relaxed because we already knew him so well. One of our groomsmen actually asked during our rehearsal if he was a friend of the family! Thank you Jason and YHM for making out day the BEST DAY EVER!!

Gerry wrote a very heartfelt ceremony speech that we reflect on to this day. It was perfect for us and our guests agreed. The ceremony was very well received. People commented on how personal it was. When our rehearsal got hilariously rained out by a torrential downpour, Gerry’s calm demeanor was very much appreciated! He corralled everyone inside and made sure we all knew what to expect for the big day, despite not being able to do a proper walk-through outside.

I have nothing but good things to say about Young Hip & Married. These guys took care of everything and made us feel totally at ease. Our officiant, Peter La Grand, was also the best. Thank you again YHM!! You guys rule.

Young Hip & Married is an amazing company to work with. We had Rhona as our officiant and we would not have had it any other way! She is so patient, calm and has a peaceful aura to her. Myself and my now husband highly recommend Rhona Segarra and using Young Hip & Married!

Jonathan M. was an amazing officiant for our ceremony. We wanted short and sweet but personable and it was just that. He was a great fit. I would highly recommend him for officiating services for brides/grooms-to-be.

We flew from Australia to elope in Victoria BC. YHM were amazing and assisted us through the process while abroad so the day was stress free. Chris-Ann (“Charlie”) was so lovely and made our day special. Thank you!

We got married on August 12th and had Marilyn as our officiant. She was absolutely everything we wanted! We wanted it to be light-hearted, fun and still romantic and she delivered plus more. She got the crowd going before the wedding so that everyone felt like they were a part of the ceremony and everyone was all excited by the time it started. We were a little disorganized and didn’t have the papers filled out correctly, and I forgot my vows 🙁 She handled it like a pro, and made me feel so encouraged and comfortable as I was ad-libbing my vows. I could not have gotten a better person marrying us. Marilyn, thank you for making our day even better! You were the icing on the cake 🙂

Amazing service ! The best part was at about 11 pm I told him he can go home and he said he still wants to keep the dancers going that’s commitment!

The best option for a small, tailored wedding! Shawn our officiant was warm and well spoken. Erica, the photographer, was so personable and made us feel comfortable getting our photos taken (neither of us are one for the spot light). Would 100% recommend!

Loved having Young Hip & Married officiate our wedding. Everything was tailored to us and what we wanted. They accommodated our early start time and made us feel so special on our big day. We used their photography services as well. We have not gotten the photos back just yet, but the photographer was such a joy to work with. She made us feel very comfortable and at ease. Neither of us like attention or the spotlight so having Erica and Shawn (photographer and officiant) be so warm and kind made us feel relaxed and free to just be in the moment.

Jane was an amazing officiant! So professional, kind, and provided an amazing script that we were so happy with. Thank you YHM!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with YH&M! They have such great communication. Our officiant was Curt and he was the best! Everything went smoothly. Our requests were for the wedding ceremony to be inspiring and memorable, and to ensure that guests would feel like they are a part of it, not just as audience. And Curt made sure to tick those boxes! Curt is so personable! My husband and I really love him and his vibe. Additionally, the rest of the team at YH&M were all so organized and professional. They are definitely the best in the business. It’s been a pleasure working with them. We definitely recommend!

We had the most amazing experience with Peter La Grand. We had actually booked a different officiant who canceled just under 3 weeks before our wedding. Peter stepped in at that point and got to know our story and who we are so well in such a short time. We told him we wanted our ceremony to be beautiful, comfortable, personal, and to have some humour, and it was exactly that. We felt like a friend was marrying us. Several guests commented on how great Peter was and asked how we found him – many people assumed we already knew him! Thank you so much Peter, our ceremony was a huge highlight of our wedding day, we will treasure it forever and it could not have been better!

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!!

Thank you again Kristen, for doing such an amazing job with our ceremony. Everyone told us that it was so clearly a reflection of us and that makes us so happy! We’ve just returned from our honeymoon and have been looking at the footage that our videographer shot of the ceremony—it brings tears of happiness to our eyes!

Young Hip & Married was hands down an all around incredible company to work with.
Stephen was absolutely amazing! He helped us create the most beautiful ceremony and his calm energy and sincere joy for us truly made getting through our big day that much more special and so much less nerve racking. If you are looking for an officiant who is going to go above and beyond to make sure you have the big day you were dreaming of, then I strongly recommend Stephen. You will not be disappointed!

We had such an amazing time working with Shawn Miller! We knew he was the perfect one to officiate our wedding right when we first had our zoom meeting with him! He was easy to talk to and was very accommodating! He was also present on our wedding rehearsal a few days before the wedding.

He made our wedding day extra special by telling a short story about my husband and I. Our family and friends asked if we knew him beforehand because the way he talked during our ceremony made it seem like he was there right when my husband and I started dating– the ceremony was unique and very personal. He also gave us pointers on how to write our own vows!

Overall, we highly recommend Young Hip & Married, and we loved working with Shawn! Thank you for making our wedding day extra special and memorable!

We have the somewhat unique experience of reviewing two officiants from Young Hip & Married. We had hired Beth after really connecting with her during an initial zoom meeting, and were so excited as she crafted a moving, thoughtful, personal and at times hilarious ceremony for us. We loved how she included our family and friends in the process as well, reaching out for stories to make it feel extra personal.

I’d been warned as a new bride to expect curveballs in this process, and sure enough a big one came a few days before our wedding, where Beth tested positive for COVID and had to back out. Within the same email, she had already arranged for a suitable replacement within the YH&M team, which brought us to Lauren.

Lauren delivered Beth’s ceremony with all the warmth, humour and energy of someone you’d think had known us forever. Guests were enchanted by her, telling us throughout the night (and well afterward) how amazing our officiant was. “Thanks,” we’d say, “we met her yesterday!” Thank you to Beth, Lauren and the whole team for such a seamless fix, a moving and magical day, and for being two special pieces of our story.

All I can say is wow! Rockelle gave us the wedding ceremony of my dreams. She really took the time to get to know us–by talking to our friends and family–and then crafted a ceremony that touched the hearts of all our loved ones. I cannot recommend YH&M enough. Their officiants will be the highlight of your wedding–and they’ll give you the skills to write touching vows. Amazing!

Peter, our wedding officiant, was the best – literally the best. He took the time to meet us for coffee, get to know us, understand our expectations, dislikes, likes and was able to weave those into a surprise ceremony. Our ceremony was also at a strange time and Peter promised to come out at a specific time and not to worry, he would stay until he had married us. It was super important to us to be able to do it our way and Peter was always understanding of this, super excited to work with us and just a pleasure to get to know. The only thing we wish was that he stayed around for the after party ; ) We highly recommend. Thank you!

Young Hip & Married was just perfect for us. I wanted something beautiful classy fun and so so stress free and blam found it here. We booked our elopement through them. Our officiant was Beth and she’s so cute and fun. She made our vows hilarious (we are a humour filled family) and Emily took fantastic photos. I’m super happy with our special day and I don’t think you’ll regret being stressless on your wedding day.

We were in a rush and these guys made the process seamless. Smooth and fast which is what we were after. Thank you and your team for the amazing help and service.

A big thanks to Young Hip & Married and especially to Beth for doing such an amazing job on sharing our story with everyone at our wedding ceremony. Her warmth and enthusiasm brought every aspect of our story to life with a touch of humor and emotion. We highly recommend Young Hip & Married to anyone looking for a memorable experience. Thanks again from Nicky & Chris.

Young Hip & Married were incredible. They help connect you with an officiant; we had Jane for our special day. She laid everything out clear and simple and allowed us to make adjustments to the ceremony.

Jane had great communication and was always quick to respond. She had great suggestions when we felt lost or didn’t know what to do. Young Hip & Married also offer the option of helping set up pre-marriage counselling and tell you where you can get a marriage license. The communication was incredible and extremely helpful. They took the stress out of everything!

So many of our guests told us the ceremony was their favourite part. You did the most amazing job, completely surpassing our expectations! I remember reading your first draft and crying happy tears because you just got us and captured us so perfectly. Thank you so much for your well wishes. I can only hope Michael and I will have a long and happy marriage like you and your husband!

We had a great experience with Young, Hip and Married even if we were none of these. Jef was a wonderful marriage officiant. We appreciated his care and goodwill and could feel how much he loves doing this. Communication with the office goddess was smooth and easy.

Our elopement was perfect! Tara took care of all the details and my requests promptly and efficiently. We chose Beth Carlson-Malena to be our officiant who was a perfect fit for us. She took time to meet and get to know our story and performed a perfect loving, joyous ceremony and reading of the vows on the day. Erica Miller photographed us and though I cannot comment on the photos as of yet; we get them in a week or 2, I can say she was also a perfect compliment of joy and celebrating spirit for our small elopement party.

The helicopter company and the pilots who Young Hip and Married use are most excellent. We flew up the mountain. And came down married. It was a beautiful day, the clouds parted, sun came out and blue skies peeked. Thank you Beth, Erica and Tara for making the planning and our Elopement Day flow with ease, joy, and love.

My husband and I got married through Young Hip & Married and it is the most amazing service we have had. Our officiant’s name was Layne and he was the absolute sweetest and the most relaxed. 10/10 would recommend for anybody!

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.”

Jane officiated our wedding this past weekend and it was amazing! We really wanted a wedding that was short and sweet but had a lot of fun and humor to it. Jane captured all of that! All our guests said the ceremony was so much fun and so “us” and we really appreciate how Jane could capture so much about the two of us. She was also so quick to respond, even when we had to move the wedding date, and it was super easy to schedule meetings and our rehearsal. You can tell Jane loves to work to make your wedding your own and we really recommend her for anyone who wants to personalize their wedding and make it a fun experience everyone will remember!

My wife and I hired Kadee from Young Hip & Married after witnessing her in action as the officiant for two friends of ours during simpler pre-pandemic days. Throughout the past year and a half of scheduling, planning, rescheduling, planning more, Kadee was nothing short of amazing! When the wedding day finally came, she had prepared the most true-to-us script, better than we ever could have hoped for. Without a doubt, we’d recommend Young Hip & Married, and specifically our Rockstar officiant, Kadee to anybody looking for a perfect, personalized ceremony. After all the uncertainty this past year, our little wedding ceremony was an experience we’ll cherish. Thanks so much!!

We are so happy we had Young Hip & Married for our wedding! Lani was our officiant and she was beyond amazing! We had a lovely first meeting and she really took the time to get to know us. She helped us with writing our vows and gave us lots of great suggestions for the wedding. The ceremony was unique and really personal, and we wouldn’t have changed a thing! We would definitely recommend YH&M to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding!

Young Hip & Married was absolutely fabulous! They were so professional, amazing, and kind throughout the whole process! They made our day extra special and everyone really felt the love that day.

My partner and I scheduled an elopement through Young Hip & Married and have nothing but wonderful things to say about our experience. We specifically asked for an LGBTQ friendly officiant and they connected us with Beth! Beth was the perfect fit for us, asked us lots of questions and delivered a beautifully personalized ceremony. We would highly recommend for any couples looking for a very low stress and pleasant experience.

We are so happy with Young Hip and Married. Our officiant, Jon Wiebe, was awesome and made the magical day really easy and thoughtful. Could not be more happy with the experience and highly recommend both Young Hip and Married and Jon!

We just wanted to say thank you again! Kristen made our ceremony perfect.

YH&M was excellent to work with. We were very, very happy with our officiant, Kadee. She made a fantastic ceremony for us. We would recommend the company highly.

They were very open and flexible with our unique marriage arrangements and easy to work with. The ceremony went off without a hitch and all of the administration work was handled swiftly and professionally. Highly recommended.

Made getting married so memorable and easy. Highly recommend!

Most of my life can be summed up by the saying, “better late than never”. So, in classic ‘me’ fashion, here’s my review for Young Hip & Married and Marilyn Knipp. We could not have been happier with the amazing ceremony that was presided over by Marilyn. The instant we met her for our initial meeting, we knew we wanted her to officiate our wedding day. Her kindness, warmth, and genuine happiness shone through her and she made us feel like we were her family. She listened to our ideas and helped us to create a truly intimate and personal ceremony. We have never been ones to do things “in the box”, and we were so blessed to have someone like Marilyn to help us plan and execute our ceremony, as well as help us wrangling our families on the day. Every step of the way was an amazing process, and every YH&M rep we spoke with was absolutely amazing. So endless thank you’s to the YH&M team and the amazing Marilyn. We couldn’t have done it without you.

Jodi was great! We were very comfortable with her from the onset of our first meeting and she was easy to work with as we planned our big day! She was well prepared, she listened to the details of our relationship in our early discussions and as a result, she nailed her initial draft of how the ceremony would unfold. On the day prior and the day of, Jodi took control of the rehearsal and helped keep the calm in advance of the ceremony. Also, Rebecca, who was our initial point of contact was extremely responsive and helped create additional excitement which made us more engaged in the process. Overall, though Young Hip and Married was slightly more expensive than the other vendors we interviewed, we felt that the value provided substantiated the slightly higher cost and then some and would we strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a seamless experience. Well done!

They are amazing! Very responsive and organized even when we changed the event location a couple weeks before the date they still made it work. Sarah our officiant was amazing! She was excited and so genuinely happy for us. She was up for going down on the rocks for the ceremony with the waves splashing up and was so excited for us. She was amazing!! I definitely recommend her and the company for your services. We couldn’t be happier!

Sarah was fabulous! She was fun and excited to be there. She was up for going in the rocks to help us get married! She did a fantastic job and was very reasonable when we had to make a last minute change! Definitely recommend!

Bobbi was our officiant at our wedding and she was amazing – we couldn’t have asked for anything else. Her words were so touching and moving that there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. I would highly recommend Bobbi, and Young, Hip & Married to everyone.

Kadee was our officiant and she was awesome. At our first meet, she asked a lot of questions and helped us figure out what we wanted for our ceremony. We wanted a short and simple service that was also special and very meaningful. She was very informative and patient as I had lots of questions. Super happy that we had her as a part of our special day. I highly recommend Young Hip and Married and Kadee!

Thank you so much for everything you helped us with, the warm vibes and…just everything. You made the process so easy for us and we definitely needed the help with everything else going on. We got so many comments on how thoughtful and genuine the ceremony was, and you were a huge part of that.

Jane, thank you very much for being there for us. We were very satisfied with our little ceremony. Everything was just what we imagined. Thanks again for your efforts!

Honestly the best wedding officiants in Vancouver and quite possibly the world. The fact that they continue to grow and serve more and more couples speaks volumes for Shawn’s vision and his commitment to his clients. I love documenting weddings in Vancouver when Shawn or one of his incredible wedding officiants are involved. I’m excited for the future of Young Hip & Married and wish Shawn, Erica, Jane, and the whole team a beautiful 2021.

Our officiant Mark was a dream to work with. My husband and I come from two completely different backgrounds/cultures/faiths, and we wanted to craft our ceremony in such a way that it could encompass both of our traditions and values. Mark went through everything with us and made the process so easy. He was organized, helpful, and most of all very patient. The speech he crafted for us was so beautiful, and his personality was so warm and welcoming that our guests still can’t stop talking about our beautiful ceremony!

We had a great time working with our officiant and ceremony coordinator for our special day. They helped us think of all of the important details about our ceremony, and the vow course was excellent as well. Experience with officiant was excellent. Thank you!

Super helpful and I am ever so grateful for the work that went in this to make our day amazing thank you so much we appreciate you all

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Shawn when planning our elopement this past summer and owe him a long overdue thank you! Shawn was incredibly personable and accommodating and we absolutely loved his laidback attitude and sense of adventure when telling him about our elopement plans, ‘Helicopter ride to a mountain top to profess your love, no big deal!’ He played a huge role in creating a fun and stress-free experience and we credit him for helping to make our day as memorable and enjoyable as it was. Thank you for everything!

We asked Sarah to be our officiant for a private ceremony in Calgary. It was absolutely incredible! The process to find and book an officiant was so smooth. The wedding felt personalized and intimate, perfect for what we were looking for!

We loved our experience with Young Hip and Married! We chose Shalom to officiate our wedding and she was amazing! So kind and helpful throughout the entire process and really listened to what we were looking for for our ceremony. In the lead-up, Shalom was so communicative and easy to work with – and afterwards we didn’t have to worry about a thing until we received our certificate in the mail as Shalom and YHM took care of everything.

We had so many people tell us how much they loved the ceremony and the way Shalom told our story and we couldn’t have agreed more! She not only made us feel calm and excited about the ceremony (in the lead-up, at the rehearsal, and during the big day itself) but made the entire experience feel so smooth, letting us just focus on taking in the moment. Our ceremony was happy, quick (we wanted short and sweet), and with the perfect combination of laughter and beautiful “aww” moments. We can’t thank Shalom enough for the work she put into our day and for the absolutely wonderful delivery of our ceremony. It was everything we wanted and more!

by Kate Paterson Photography

Young, Hip and Married was a great company to work with – from the initial inquiry to the final follow up, they really care about making the process easy and fun! I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone getting married!!
Cory Dueck was the best officiant we could have asked for!!

We received so many compliments on our style of ceremony and specifically our choice of officiant – one of my girlfriends has already sworn she will hire him when she gets married!
Cory took the time to get to know us and really made our ceremony reflect who we are as a couple. It was an absolute pleasure working with him! My wedding planner even said he was the best officiant she had ever worked with, and that she would be recommending him to future brides! Cory, you ROCK!!!

We can’t thank Mark Groleau from Young, Hip and Married enough. We met him and within 2 minutes I knew we had found our wedding officiant. He was SO easy and fun to work with, we knew our wedding ceremony was going to be so unique, fun and meaningful, that’s what we wanted and that’s exactly what we got. Our ceremony truly described our relationship and it was so special, it was definitely one of our favourite things about our wedding day. After our ceremony, so many of our guests told us that they had never seen a ceremony like ours, everyone absolutely LOVED it and thought it was the greatest ceremony they had ever seen at a wedding. We will never, ever forget our ceremony and the amazing story that Mark put together for us, we are truly so grateful for everything that he did and we can’t wait to recommend him to all future couples tying the knot! 🙂

Erika Enns officiated our wedding ceremony on July 22, 2023 and she couldn’t have captured my husband and I any better! She really took the time to get to know us and our story and created a personalized ceremony just for us. I can’t recommend YH&M or Erika enough!

by Clint Bargen Photography

Shawn was so helpful and encouraging and kind, which helped so much because we were both pretty nervous. He helped us make our ceremony so unique and specific to us as a couple, and many guests complimented us for not going with a traditional or religious ceremony. He kept both of us and all of our guests engaged in the ceremony and the reason we were there. Thank you, Shawn! We’ll remember you forever!

Our experience with YH&M was great – from booking to the day of the ceremony, they were professional and made the whole experience totally stress-free. We especially had a wonderful experience with Jane (our officiant) and Emily (our photographer)! Jane, our officiant, was organized, thoughtful and supportive throughout the whole process from booking to the day. She made everything so easy by communicating with us before the ceremony, and guided a smooth ceremony on the day. Emily, our photographer, made us feel comfortable from the get go, even though we tend to be camera shy folks! She gave us direction and made us feel totally at ease on the day, and we couldn’t have been more grateful! She provided us with a sneak peek of our photos promptly, and they turned out perfectly. Thank you YH&M, Jane and Emily for making our day so special!

Amazing Ceremony! One of the comments I heard the most during our reception was how amazing our ceremony was. Everyone was at one time laughing and crying at our story and how personalized the ceremony was to our personalities and relationship. Kadee is absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend her and the team at Young Hip and Married and their Rockin’ Wedding Package to anyone looking for get married and have a memorable and tailored ceremony. Thank you!

I discovered Young Hip and Married when I was searching for places and ways to elope! Ironically, the day we decided to get married in Vancouver (the day before we were leaving on an Alaskan cruise), Tara had emailed me to see if I had any questions! It was fate! Our fairytale started right then!! Erika was an amazing officiant, walking us through the whole process!! She did an awesome job, finding a great spot in Stanley Park to marry us!! Victoria was our photographer and she, too, made us feel so comfortable and special!!! Thanks for your professionalism and detail!! We could not have been happier with our “Young, Hip, and Crazy” elopement (7 hours after flying in from Chicago)!!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!

Chris-Ann really had everyone talking about just how wonderfully different, personal and special her entire presentation, vibe and ceremony was! “One of the best weddings we’ve ever been to, it was so personal!” Thank you for making our wedding one of the best days of our lives!

You were outstanding at commanding the attention of a large and diverse crowd, engaging them with both authority and kindness, an uncommon requirement of the role. We gave you very little direction, which looking back I realize was quite unfair of us, but also in retrospect was obviously the right call. With only vague parameters you built a compelling and non-traditional ceremony that was uplifting, spiritual, entertaining, and yet still held firm on the gravitas of the moment. We are still so grateful that you agreed to do this for us. Looking back at the pictures we still feel the weight of the moment, but also see the pure joy and excitement of all the guests. This was a once-in-a-lifetime event for us, and you were gave a once in a lifetime performance.

We wanted to thank you so much for officiating our wedding! It was amazing and we received many compliments from our guests on how great the ceremony was! Thank you! It was a very touching ceremony and it would have not been possible without you there with us!

Our officiant was Jane! To keep it short & sweet, I think it was a little daunting to have to explain our relationship to someone, anyone. We didn’t have a theme, we don’t realllyy have any extreme activities we do together. We’re the Netflix and chill, get coffee, be with our family & friends couple and Jane didn’t bat an eye. She got it, she wrote it, we made little to zero corrections and she killed it at the ceremony. Most importantly she kept the attention of our guests, and made sure they knew how much we loved them too. Also, she’s great at keeping secrets (we had a surprise wedding). And I realized it must have been interesting to write something where we didn’t want her to talk about marriage itself (lots of divorces there that night) and just us. So thank you Jane, it was everything we could have Asked for. Also, they made a welcome video when you inquire and it’s the loveliest touch.

It was such a pleasure to meet you Randy! Thank you so for such a wonderful elopement! You made our simple legal ceremony a fun and memorable experience! It was so nice to have a second Kits beach ceremony that was super low-key and less stressful than the actual day. We really appreciate you working with our spur of the moment schedule as well!

I would recommend Young Hip & Married for any wedding or elopement for sure!

Can’t thank our friends enough for recommending YH&M. Kristen was our officiant and she was super responsive to all our requests and helped put together the perfect ceremony for our small, intimate wedding. Her style and delivery were perfect for engaging everyone and making them feel a part of the ceremony and she managed to cope with all the little ad libs and laughter from me and my bride. Would definitely recommend both the company and Kristen; in fact I already did to one of our wedding party getting married next year.

Matt and I are so lucky to have worked with such kind-hearted souls like you, Madalena and Marcelo! You set a beautiful tone to our day and could not have asked for a more magical ceremony.

We were married May 13th, 2017 in Stanley Park and it was a wonderful experience. Shawn at Young Hip & Married is a fantastic officiant. The ceremony was exactly what we were looking for: relaxed, easy and fun. The photographer, Erica Miller was AMAZING. The photos turned out better then we expected. I would definitely recommend YH&M.

Our experience with Young Hip & Married was absolutely amazing. We met with Jon over a coffee to get to know each other and we bonded quickly! It felt like we knew Jon for a long time and he showed great interest in our personal lives and love story. He was thorough in his preparation and we had full confidence in him for our big day. My husband and I highly suggest booking this company for your ceremony. They make your experience stress free and personalized. Our officiant Jon did not disappoint. He had a natural way to to hold the room/read the crowd. He made our ceremony fun, relaxed, yet very touching. We would highly recommend him or any other Young Hip & Married officiant for your wedding day 🙂

Young Hip and Married was really accommodating especially during COVID and all of the changes that came with it. Erika was our officiant and we can’t say enough amazing things about her.

YH&M was the perfect choice for us. They were professional and very easy to deal with. Answered any questions we had immediately and made the whole process simple. Jonathan, who married us was amazing! We met him over FaceTime and the decision was clear. He was professional, kind, personable and cool. We felt like we’d known him forever; he made us feel so comfortable. Our families also commented on how great he was. We couldn’t be happier with our choice.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Young, Hip & Married. Shawn is extremely thorough and professional. He is easy to communicate with and perfectly captured the tone we wanted to set for our ceremony. Highly, highly recommended!

By Lumina Weddings Inc

Where do I even start?! Jane was awesome, sweet and amazing. Our booking was easy, we started on time and had a blast. If you’re looking for stress free elopement like us, use Jane. 10/10 and thank you from Geoff & Holly Wishlaw xox

In Sept 2022, when we decided we wanted to elope in Nov 2022, we had emailed a few places and YH&M was one of the places that immediately reached out within 24 hours and was able to set up a time to have a call with me. Needless to say, I thought we weren’t going to be able to get married on the day we wanted but had hoped for the best with the short timeframe given. We all know in the wedding industry, you are booking dates way in advance.

On the day of my call time with Danya, I had actually forgot to reach out and Danya was kind enough to reach out again if we were still on (I really appreciated this as a busy working mom!). YH&M came through and was able to make our dreams come true to get married on the date we wanted in November. From the moment I had my phone call with Danya to coordinating with Erika who was marrying us, along with Amber who was going to be our photographer – also set up by YH&M! It was by far the easiest to deal with all in one place.

If you are looking to elope, please look no further because the YH&M team covers it all from the booking, your officiant, and helicopter elopement (what we chose!). Thank you again to the YH&M team, we are so happy that you were part of our special day!!

Curt was an amazing officiant for our wedding! He was so easy to work with, and really took the time to personalize his speech to our story. He was also completely open and flexible with anything we wanted to add or adjust. Our guests absolutely raved about him and how perfect our ceremony was. We will be recommending Curt and the YHM team to any of our friends who get engaged in the future!!

Choosing Young Hip & Married was the best decision we made for our big day. Jane, our officiant, was not only professional, communicative and flexible, she was also fun and made us feel so at ease and happy on our day. We flew in to Vancouver from Australia, and we eloped in beautiful Stanley Park. The day before we were married my husband and I explored the park and found the perfect spot. I emailed Jane a snapshot of the spot on google maps and that was that! If you’re looking for a fun, sweet and relaxed day or maybe something a little different I highly recommend Young Hip & Married! Thanks for everything guys!

Thank you so much to the Young Hip and Married team for helping us figure out what is right for us. You were all so helpful and kind! Highly appreciated the course on writing vows, it really helped us figure out our vows in a simple way. Jane, thank you so much for the ceremony with your calm and grounded nature! I would highly recommend you to anyone.

My husband and I were recommended to check out Young, Hip & Married for our officiant services and we had a great experience. From the moment we met Shawn, we knew that we could trust him to be nothing but perfect for our day and he absolutely was. We have been married now for three weeks and our guests are still talking about how fabulous the ceremony was and how much a part of it they felt they were. We highly recommend Young Hip & Married to all future couples; you won’t be disappointed!

We couldn’t be more thankful to have found Peter and the YH&M team. From the very first email, everyone was incredibly supportive, responsive, calm, and organized. Peter knew all the right questions to ask and he captured our story so perfectly. Our guests loved him and it was a pleasure having him officiate our ceremony. Thank you, Peter and YH&M, for making our day so happy, relaxed, and memorable.

Wonderful experience! Our officiant was lovely. She took the time to determine exactly what we were looking for and did a great job of information gathering. The speech was heartfelt and genuine and everyone really enjoyed themselves. Excellent pacing and perfect delivery.

We are so happy that we went with YH&M for our wedding. The ceremony is such a special part and the ability to have an officiant that helps tailor the ceremony to who you are as a couple with the ability to say what you want to say is important. Erika Enns was our officiant and we knew from our first meeting that she was perfect for us. She was so easy to talk to, super friendly and we loved her energy. Being able to work on a wedding script with her was easy and all the tips and links she provided were really helpful when it came to making our ceremony personal to us. Thank you for being a part of our special day!

We flew over from HK to Vancouver to have a simple elopement, and we basically knew nothing about wedding / venues / procedures there. YH&M gave us swift and comprehensive suggestions, and more importantly a peace of mind when we were very busy planning for the trip.

The ceremony went very smooth. Jane who officiated us was very very professional. She guided us through our nervous but important moment in life! We couldn’t ask for more for the entire arrangement. Thank you again, YH&M and Jane!

by John Bello Photography

Kadee, thank you so much for being the perfect officiant for our magical, garden wedding this past weekend. We absolutely loved your enthusiasm for our wedding plans right from our first meeting at Delany’s in Edgemont and this continued right through to everything you did during our special day – to make it so very memorable. We absolutely would be thrilled to recommend you and Young Hip and Married to anyone that we know that’s getting married anytime soon. Warmest regards and a big hug from Jenny and I!

My wedding day was still as amazing even though my now husband and I decided to elope. At first I wasn’t excited about the idea of eloping and none of our friends or family would be there to witness our special day. But when my husband found Young Hip & Married and I looked into the helicopter elopement package, I fell in love instantly. The whole experience from picking our special day to getting married on a private mountain top was a fairy tale. The ladies I was communicating with were very well mannered and respectful of our wishes. The officiant Kadee and the photographer Vickie made the ride and the special moment really come alive for us both. The many pictures that were taken to capture every moment of our wedding day made me really happy. The officiant Kadee made our quick but still special moment on the mountain top so special for my husband and I. Sky Helicopter was the company who flew us to the private mountain top. The pilot was very polite and was happy to be at his job. Everyone, you made mine and Jeremy’s special wedding day a day to remember forever. Thank you to all of you and I hope you make many more couples’ special wedding moments as special and intimate as ours was. Thanks again. Cheers 🙂

I highly recommend the Young Hip and Married team. We chose to do the elopement package with the hour of photography. Shawn was our officiant and Erica was our photographer. Both were very professional and did an excellent job!

by Erica Miller Photography

As a company, Young Hip and Married have a quick response time and excellent communication. We opted for the Rockin’ Wedding package which was reasonably priced and really comprehensive. Kadee, our officiant, was wonderful. She got to know us, and wrote and delivered a wonderful service that felt true to our relationship. She was professional, organized, communicative, and fun and we feel lucky to have had her marry us!

Bobbi was amazing. She really took the time to get to know us and write a ceremony that was truly us. She was easy to get in contact with and was prompt delivering the ceremony for us to review as we liked. On the day, she was easy-going, charming, and absolutely perfect for the day. I highly recommend Bobbi if you’re getting married, and the services of Young, Hip and Married are tailored to making getting married easy

From the second we met with Denise, we knew that we made the right decision. The whole experience was the perfect amount of “laid back” that we were looking for but also very professional. The ceremony was my husband and my very favourite part of the entire day and we owe that to Young Hip and Married. We are so thankful that we went with them and 100 percent recommend them!

Loved our officiant Erika! She made our ceremony so personalised and was there to help every step of the way. Amazing company, highly recommend!

When my husband and I started to think about what we wanted out of our wedding ceremony we thought about how we wanted our guests to feel like they were involved in the ceremony. We wanted them to feel like for a moment they were a part of our love story and learned a little more about why we came together to join our lives. Shawn at Young Hip and Married was the only choice for us. He spent so much time getting to know us, getting to know why we fell in love, why we were perfect for one another. He truly captured our essence in the ceremony. He created amazing sections that included our family and friends, getting them to pass around our wedding bands putting their love into them and then a amazing group vow with us. It was so special. We had so many guests coming up to us at our reception saying that the ceremony made them cry and laugh, and made them feel like we brought them into our love story, that was exactly what we wanted and Shawn gave us that. Everyone was telling us how he was so cool, funny and how he really captured us. We wanted our ceremony to be one of the most memorable parts of our wedding, and our guests mirrored that back to us. I will be recommending Shawn to everyone we know because he really married us, our way. Thanks so much Shawn!!

Great Experience! Young Hip and Married was a great wedding experience for us. We were given a detailed break down at a very affordable price. Anytime we had any questions leading up to the wedding we were immediately got back to with the answers. Our officiant Jane was prompt, friendly and very professional. Overall this company helped make our day special.

By Jessica Niles Photography

Great experience! Cory our officiant was absoulety amazing every step of the way.

I highly recommend YHM! I want to send a huge thank you to Layne and Deanna for being so kind to us on our big day. You guys made us laugh, you were so easy to work with and we are so incredibly thankful to have found this company. YHM walked us through our vow training, they officiated our wedding AND they provided photography. I can’t recommend enough.

by Deanna Rachel Photography

We wanted to thank you so much for making our day perfect. You were so helpful, easy to deal with and cool. Our families also commented on how great you were. We are so happy you married us on our special day. Working with you was such a pleasure.

Thanks again, we are so happy!
Riley and Bill

Energetic, fun and organized! We were more than impressed with our officiant from YHM.

Thank you thank you thank you! You guys are real pros. Our day was awesome and completely stress free. You all kept us informed, on track and laughing. We have already been talking non-stop about how awesome your company is.

We commend them for the exceptional services we received in the midst of the Covid Pandemic 2020!!

My husband and I worked with Shalom and feel like we could not have had a better experience! Right from the beginning, the Young Hip and Married team brought incredible communication and set us up with an officiant who would be a great match, sensitive to our needs. Shalom created a custom ceremony that highlighted our story and shared our love perfectly. Thanks for being part of our perfect day!

We wanted a simple elopement style wedding and chose the Intimate Elopement and Photography package. Our officiant Melinda and photographer Jade were both fantastic and easy to work with, and made our ceremony memorable and totally stress free.

by Jades Photos

We had an idea of location and time but it just wasn’t working with the vendors they had available (or to have them travel to us was very expensive). Instead of giving up after a lot of email back and forth, they offered an alternative that worked perfectly! We were matched to an officiant and a photographer who made sure our wedding was exactly what we wanted! We were originally supposed to get married in April 2020, but had to postpone due to COVID. Throughout a very difficult time for a lot of vendors and couples, they remained professional and made sure we had options and eventually had our perfect wedding, exactly how we wanted it. The patience, quick response time, options available, and overall attitude towards weddings and marriage made the experience for us super easy and fun. I’ve recommended them to everyone I know who is getting married!

by Nicole Field Photography

Super responsive and flexible with our constant wedding date and time changes. Provided great resources. Our officiant was exactly the style we were looking for. Modern, simple and sweet. We did a private elopement before heading to a ceremony that was ‘officiated’ by a close friend. Both were special moments in their own way. Highly recommend.

We were planning to do a small yet special ceremony! As we were researching ideas, we came across Young Hip & Married! And I am extremely glad we found them! We did a helicopter elopement with Erika as our officiant and Erica as our photographer. The whole experience was so amazing, and exceeded our expectations by far. We couldn’t be happier with our ceremony. Everybody at Young Hip & Married did a great job! The helicopter ride was very beautiful and we landed by a beautiful lake and got married there! Looking at the photos and videos, it is everything we wanted! We recommend Young Hip & Married to everyone who is looking for a unique and romantic experience for their ceremony.

Cory from Young Hip and Married made the whole experience so much fun. Most of our pictures are of us laughing. Such a great experience amd would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you!

Our experience with this company was nothing short of amazing. They are very prompt and selected an officiant that worked perfectly for us. Rhona was amazing and we do not have enough nice things to say! She was so helpful in each part of planning and preparing our perfect ceremony. My husband and I were nervous about writing our own vows and Rhona helped us create a very special and meaningful ceremony and vows and we could not be more appreciative. I would highly recommend for anyone planning a wedding! Thanks again!

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.

Young Hip and Married made the entire process of booking our officiant easy and without stress. When we wanted to meet with a second officiant, there was absolutely no problem, and we found our perfect fit! Peter was efficient, relaxed, professional, and an absolute dream to work with. He was quick to make any changes we wanted, and put so much love and support into our ceremony. Can’t recommend YHM enough!

I would just like to say how amazing Mark was on Friday at the wedding for S&T.  He was absolutely hilarious in such a tasteful way.  All the guests thoroughly enjoying his service.  S&T had only great things to say about him.

Thank you for your warm, calm energy and eloquent words, Shalom! You were perfect!

There was so much excitement and high energy right before the ceremony and it was Shawn’s impromptu introduction that really brought us into the moment, setting the soulful intention and deep connected feeling for our ceremony.Seriously, we can’t say enough good things about Shawn, Erica, and the YH&M team. We are so happy that they were a part of our joy and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a unique and personal wedding experience.

We booked our elopement & photography with YH&M and had such a wonderful experience from the very beginning with our video message from Danya. Helpful with logistics and outlining important info for us. Shawn was our officiant and Erica our photographer – what a dream team. They both radiated great energy on the day, and made it that much more enjoyable and stress free for us.

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 got married in Calgary, and Sarah Kemmers from YH+M was our officiant. We had the custom ceremony package, and Sarah was perfect! She really took the time to get to know us and our love story, spoke to our loved ones, and took that information to write a beautiful script with love and good humour that spoke to us perfectly.

One of us uses gender-neutral pronouns and she made us both feel comfortable and included the entire time. At the wedding, the guests loved her ceremony, and she was friendly, kind, and supportive. We would both give more stars if we could!

We hired Shawn for our elopement at city hall and it was perfect! Great communication leading up to, and the vow course that was included was really helpful to write our own personalized vows! The day of everything went really smoothly and the ceremony was wonderful! Would highly recommend YH&M!

Perfection! It was such an honor and privilege to have Kadee present our wedding ceremony to our family and guests. Choose the package where they tell your story! Trust me it was so worth it 🙂 Every guest enjoyed the heartfelt story and laughter.

So happy we left this part of our wedding in your organized hands. And Curt was wonderful, thoughtful, warm and personable as our officiant. Thanks again to your team.

Marilyn from YH&M officiated our wedding and we could not be happier with how it went! We wanted our ceremony to be heartfelt, romantic, and laid back, but we also wanted it to be fun. My husband and I are not formal people and we knew we wanted to be able to laugh and maybe crack a few jokes. It was evident from our first meeting with Marilyn that she was the perfect person for the job! Our ceremony was everything we could have asked for and more; Marilyn was able to capture the spirit of our relationship so well. Multiple guests commented on how much they loved our ceremony, how beautiful it was, and that they felt like they were truly a part of the wedding rather than just spectators watching it play out. Thank you Marilyn for braving the rain with us and for all you did to help make our wedding day so magical!

Absolutely recommend this amazing company. They were incredibly flexible, helpful, responsive during a stressful time to make wedding plans. We had to change dates due to COVID19 and they accommodated with understanding and professionalism. Our officiant Shawn was perfect, and his ceremony style is very comfortable and authentic. He adjusted his speech on the fly, as we had a few hiccups the day of our wedding. His words were so heartfelt. Shawn and his wife Erica (who provided photography for our wedding day) were the perfect dynamic duo to celebrate our day with us. Our photos are incredible and we couldn’t be happier to have them to look back on for the rest of our lives! The Young Hip & Married team was great from the initial planning phase all the way through to finally signing the papers. We couldn’t be more thankful for finding this company to be with us for our day!

This is long over due as we were married March 5th. What can I say, these guys are FANTASTIC. Let’s add a little back story. The Mrs and I have been trying to plan our wedding for the last few years, well, last week of February we finally decided to do it. Well within a week Young Hip & Married was able to step up to the plate. They provided us an officiant and a photographer, both were fantastic. We were married half way up the Sea-to-Sky gondola. Yes you heard correctly, half way up, we wanted something different.

Keep up the great work Young and Hip. You, literally, made our day amazing and unforgettable.

Jon at Young Hip & Married was so awesome. An officiant can really make or break a wedding. We wanted the ceremony to be easy going, light hearted, short and sweet. Not stuffy. He did exactly that. He gave the audience a couple of good laughs and practically held our hands when we didn’t know what to say or do. The only thing we knew we wanted was to write our own vows. The reason we chose Young Hip & Married is because you can basically choose exactly what you want to do with them. The problem is, we didn’t have a clue where to start. With Jon, we didn’t have to. He sent us a script and we could edit it any way we wanted. Adding things in, taking things out, etc. We made a few changes back and forth and bam, just like that, it was done. All we had to do was show up! We did the rehearsal and he got all of us uncoordinated, country bumpkins, walking down the aisle like we owned the thing! Thank you Jon for getting our nerves out and making us feel at ease. You rock!

We used them through our Adventure Elopement package with Will Pursell Photography. She did a great job. And even though we had to change a location about a week or so before our wedding, due to extra covid restrictions about travel within health regions, she was understanding and polite and it all went very smooth! Would recommend them for sure!

Young Hip & Married was exactly what we were looking for! They took care of all the important stuff and allowed us to have a completely stress free wedding day. Booking was easy, we never once felt confused or lost throughout the entire process. We definitely recommend YHM for anyone looking to elope in BC; we are extremely happy with how our day turned out! Thank you!

Young Hip & Married was exactly what we needed! From the first email to the ceremony everyone was extremely kind and helpful. We wanted something easy and simple, YHM took care of all the important things and gave us a completely stress free wedding day. We’ve recommended them to our friends looking to elope in BC. Thank you for everything!

Shawn was amazing! He was so charismatic and easy to talk to about our ceremony. Shawn helped guide us through what we believed to be the most anxious part of the day and honestly it became not only the funniest but most memorable. (To be fair I think Shawn won’t forget this day either!) He made me and my now hubby calm and made us laugh which is exactly what we wanted – he was there every step of the way, throughout the process of conjuring up the ceremony tweaking it here and there, making it ours. Many of our guests noted his wit and personality and how he made the day fun and special and that they have never been to a ceremony like ours before stating it was one of the best ones they have been to. It was the best choice to hire Young Hip and Married and we would highly recommend this company to anyone. 11 out of 10 for sure!

Stephen Anderson was an amazing officiant. We can’t thank him enough for his support. He guided us perfectly and helped make our ceremony meaningful, personal and wholesome for us and our family and friends. He was an excellent speaker and I would recommend him to anyone. We are so grateful to have found him.

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!

We couldn’t have been happier with YH&M! Their customer service is amazing, they are very accommodating, and Shawn truly helped to put us at ease and create exactly the right ceremony for me and my now husband. Although we had a large wedding, our ceremony felt personal and intimate. I would recommend them to anyone!

Shawn, we can’t thank you enough for helping us create the perfect wedding. I must admit I was pretty nervous for the ceremony, but it ended up being both mine and Derek’s favourite part of the wedding (even better than the cake)! It was just beautiful and meant so much to us.

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.

Young Hip and Married went above our expectations. I would highly recommend them to anyone. They were great at communicating and very professional. Our wedding turned out amazing thanks to them and we are so happy with the photos we received as well as the ceremony. Thank you for making our day so amazing!

We sent in a request for more information and within 24 hours, received a personalized video. They introduced themselves, congratulated us, and answered our questions. By the next day, they had arranged for an officiant on our special day. We were sent the details of what our ceremony would look like. Lauren showed up early even though traffic was a nightmare. She brought formal shoes and sneakers to help her on the trails in Lighthouse Park. She made us feel comfortable and shared a few laughs with us. We found her to be just delightful. We were glad that we choose YHM and would definitely recommend them to all of our friends as they approach their own weddings.

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!

We worked with Jane for our wedding and we are SO glad we did. Jane was incredibly professional and was able to adapt her style to the tone of the wedding. She really took the time to get to know us and was able to add personal touches to our ceremony that made all of the difference. She made the process of obtaining the marriage certificate seamless and it took a weight off our shoulders to not have to worry about submitting all the paperwork. She had so many great ideas for the flow of the ceremony which allowed things to run smooth and effortlessly.

We also took advantage of the vows course from YH&M and found it to be SO helpful! Having a framework allowed us to structure our thoughts and deliver some really great and persona vows to each other. We would absolutely recommend YH&M to anyone looking for an officiant service.

YH&M was on my wish list for almost a decade. I had witnessed an elopement in 2009 with Shawn Miller as the officiant and was blown away. Fast forward to 2018 and it’s finally my turn. Even after a decade of growth YH&M stood with the same morals and beliefs on marriage and weddings. We had the pleasure of having Beth be our officiant and she couldn’t have been more perfect. She understood who we were and where we came from after just one conversation. Beth was incredible to be around and was like one of the guests. The ceremony was perfect. Thank you YH&M for connecting us with Beth.

I knew when we were planning our wedding that I did not want a cookie cutter wedding ceremony where you regurgitate words that you ‘have to say.’ I contacted YH&M and in walked SHAWN. Honestly, it was one of the best decisions we made!!! He was AMAZING!! We worked together to create a ceremony that was personal and heartfelt and that is exactly what our guests felt. We received so much positive feedback about our ceremony saying how ‘US’ it was and how great SHAWN was. Shawn was open to all the suggestions I made (even if that meant letting the best man read some lines in French 🙂 I cannot recommend YH&M and SHAWN enough!!! Seriously, it is soooo WORTH IT!!!

We were getting married when restrictions only allowed for 10 people and the awesome package from young hip and married accommodated that perfectly. We were so happy with the communication and process, the day went by smoothly without any hiccups. I would absolutely recommend young hip and married!

Jane was a wonderful officiant! She was thoughtful in her delivery and so helpful as we organized our elopement ceremony! I couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony that fit us perfectly! Overall it was a seamless process working with Jane and the YHM team. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a great wedding ceremony experience!

We knew from the very first email that YH&M would be our vendor of choice! Shawn and the rest of the team were so accommodating and welcoming, we instantly felt we were in the right hands. They have guided us through the whole process (including writing our wedding vows!) and Shawn was awesome during our ceremony! It was so personal and heartfelt. We can really feel the dedication and passion he put into his craft. A handful of couples were actually inspired to renew their vows because of the ceremony Shawn has put together. Thank you to the team behind YH&M. May you continue to officiate more happy beginnings, just like you did with ours.

Working with Young Hip and Married/Janie was great! Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding ceremony. Thank you for helping to make our day extra special.

After Covid-19 canceled our wedding plans, we decided to get married anyway, and planned an elopement in just a couple of months. Young Hip and Married was easy to work with on a tight timeline. Our officiant, Chris-Ann Lake, had no problem traveling to our fairly remote location. She was warm and friendly and felt like someone we would like to hang out with- not just a random stranger from an internet search. While I’m hoping to never need a wedding officiant again, I’d definitely recommend their services to anyone else.

Young Hip & Married has been an absolute pleasure to work with. They give you the all information for things you’ll need the day of the wedding. You have time to build rapport with your officiant and have a well tailored ceremony. They were also quite flexible with our venue changes during the pandemic.

Shawn, the owner, was our officiant, and it’s very easy to tell he puts a lot of care into not only the business, but officiating our wedding. The day of the wedding he pulled each of us aside and coached us through the ceremony, and made sure we were as comfortable as possible. This was super appreciated as you’d be surprised some of the day off jitters you can get right before the ceremony. It was a very smooth process and we wouldn’t change a thing.

Thank you Shawn and Young Hip & Married Team for all your help. You guys rock!

Shawn was amazing! We loved our wedding ceremony. The entire process was so professional yet personal. Shawn made our ceremony so unique and memorable. We laughed, we cried, and we felt so much love. Thank you Young Hip & Married for making our special day something we will never forget!

My husband and I were married by Kadee and she was great! She worked with us beforehand to make our ceremony script more personal. She was warm and welcoming and kept us from feeling awkward or nervous at the actual ceremony too (even when we forgot our rings for a minute and a squirrel tried to attack our cake).

My husband and I tied the knot on Saturday, May 23rd, 2015 and Shawn Miller was our wedding officiant. We both knew Shawn prior to getting engaged. Once we got engaged we knew immediately who we wanted to marry us. Shawn made our wedding all about us– plain and simple. He took the time and effort to really get to know us (aside from what he already knew), who we are as individuals, who we are as a couple, our values, our view on marriage, what kind of wedding we want – everything! He compiled all of this into a draft, which we got to read and edit. We tossed the draft around a few times over the months until it was just what we wanted. He assisted us with the writing of our vows, he tossed around new ideas (wine box ceremony – which we ended up having at our ceremony!), and he incorporated the story of my husband and I and how we met into our ceremony. Our guests kept coming up to us at the reception inquiring about Shawn and commenting on how incredible, beautiful, personal, and unique our ceremony was. They mentioned they had never been to a ceremony like ours before and that it was just outstanding. We highly recommend Shawn of Young, Hip, and Married as your wedding officiant!

Our experience with Young Hip and Married was amazing. We had the pleasure of working alongside Denise. She helped us create a beautiful personalized ceremony. She was very quick to answer any questions and always available to chat when needed. All of our guests loved how personalized and meaningful this ceremony was. We highly recommend using Young Hip and Married for your wedding!

This team is great! We got exactly what we were hoping for and more. Pleasant to work with and helpful with writing our ceremony. Would recommend!

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!

YH&M helped us organize a small elopement in Calgary – they were friendly and organized, put us in touch with a great officiant, and helped us plan the ceremony. I’d happily recommend them to friends & family.

Our officiant, Rhona, was wonderful. She genuinely cared about creating an excellent personalized experience for us and our guests. She was a joyful calming presence during our wedding planning process and on the big day. Highly recommend!

We recently did our wedding through Young Hip & Married and it was honestly perfect. The wedding was small, intimate, easy to set up, and went off flawlessly. We wanted something COVID-friendly with immediate family, and Erica gave us a few solid options and packages – we eventually landed on Stanley Park as the location. Erica, Jane, and co were super friendly, responsive, and provided easy documentation and guidance throughout the whole process. Honestly, everything was just super easy and really helped de-stress the event.

The wedding itself was great. Erica helped us arrange and time everything, and was a great photographer throughout. Jane was a great officiant and did a simple but meaningful ceremony with vows and rings exchanged. If you want to do an intimate, family-focused wedding – can’t recommend Young Hip & Married enough!

Our officiant Cory was exactly the person we wanted for our wedding ceremony. He’s friendly, personable, high energy and comforting to be around. He made us feel right at home when we first chatted with him. He was wonderful to work with and we loved how our ceremony turned out!

We bought the elopement and photography package. Kadee was an amazing officiant. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Erica, the photographer was great as well. They made our wedding very special! They showed up on time, were very accommodating and responsive leading up to the ceremony and after. Would highly recommend them!

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.

YH&M were an absolute delight to work with. There was great and fast communication between us throughout the planning process. Our officiant, Kristen, was very approachable and quick to understand how we wanted our ceremony to be. We had a small elopement with just 2 witnesses. On the day of, she made us feel very comfortable, made us laugh, and the ceremony was exactly how we wanted it to be. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We went with the elopement + photography package and our assigned photographer, Erica, was very pleasant and helpful in directing the shots. We can’t recommend YH&M enough! Thanks for everything.

Jane set the tone for the day. Inclusive, relaxed, funny, and warm; everything that we wanted for our day. Every guest commented on how great she was. Our prep was minimal and she understood our schedules and worked with us. I can’t thank Jane and Young Hip and Married enough for being a part of our day.

Shawn was absolutely fantastic! We had requested a simple legalization/elopement, and everything turned out exactly as we had imagined it. He showed up at our chosen vacation excited for us and ready to go. He was friendly and engaging with us and our two friends who were there to witness. The whole experience turned out to be a very happy and memorable one! I will definitely be recommending these guys to anyone I know getting married in the future.

Shawn was our officiant for our wedding just this past September and he knocked our socks off. Our ceremony was just perfect all thanks to him; it was very heartfelt and full of humour – so totally us. He was very quick to respond to any of our questions or concerns & was very professional. Our guests felt he was so great and personable and we still get comments today on how amazing our ceremony was. He made us feel comfortable and had the best tips for our special day with all those wedding day jitters. If you’re looking for someone to ‘just get’ you and your partner and tailor your entire ceremony to fit you then you came to the right place. We 100% recommend the YH&M team! Thanks again Shawn, you definitely made our ceremony one to remember!

The perfect and personal ceremony. The moment we met Jane, we knew she would be the right person to officiate our ceremony. We asked for a personalized experience that told our story through the 12 years we have been together – and we got just that, complete with anecdotes from our loved ones. Jane was a dream to work with. Professional, caring, and oh so organized. We couldn’t have asked for anything better.

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.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Young Hip and Married, and our officiant Jane Halton, for my wedding ceremony, and I cannot express enough how impressed I was with their services. From start to finish, they demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise that truly made our special day unforgettable.

Jane’s ability to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere was remarkable. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, understanding our unique love story and personal preferences. Her personal touch made the ceremony feel intimate and personalized, leaving a lasting impression on both us and our guests.

Moreover, her attention to detail was impeccable. She guided us through the entire process, ensuring that every aspect of the ceremony was tailored to our desires. Young Hip and Married’s expertise in crafting meaningful vows and incorporating our chosen rituals made the ceremony truly reflective of our love and commitment.

Throughout the planning process, our officiant was incredibly responsive and accommodating. Jane were always available to answer our questions and provide guidance, making us feel at ease and confident in their abilities. Her professionalism and reliability were evident in every interaction, which alleviated any stress we may have had leading up to the big day.

During the ceremony itself, our officiant Jane Halton’s delivery was flawless. Her eloquence and ability to captivate the audience created an atmosphere filled with love, joy, and celebration. She seamlessly transitioned between different parts of the ceremony, ensuring a smooth and seamless flow.

Overall, I cannot recommend this Young Hip and Married enough. Their dedication, expertise, and genuine passion for what they do truly set them apart. If you are looking for an officiant who will go above and beyond to make your wedding ceremony a truly memorable experience, look no further. They will undoubtedly exceed your expectations and help create a day filled with love and cherished memories.

The Young Hip & Married team were absolutely amazing. We chose Jodi as our officiant, and we couldn’t be happier with everything. We first met with Jodi several months in advance where she got to know us. As we got closer, we got a draft of how the ceremony would look so we could edit anything that we wanted. When it came to the rehearsal, Jodi made sure we all knew exactly how the ceremony was going to go. As a result, the day went perfectly and we received compliments all night on how great Jodi was. Highly recommend her and the entire Young Hip & Married team.

All of our interactions with Young Hip & Married were very pleasant! Firstly, they were able to help us arrange our small marriage with just a few weeks notice, and secondly made everything we needed to do very clear in advance despite not actually meeting with our officiant (Shawn) until the day of our marriage due to the expedited arrangements we had made. We were provided with a sample of how the ceremony would go as well as opportunities to tailor things here and there to our wishes. Not being sure of what exactly was involved in terms of formalities and administrative things surrounding getting married, it was so very helpful to have all of the guidance that was provided. Shawn’s wife Erica was our photographer, and they both arrived precisely when they said they would! Right away they were very friendly and comforting to have with us. While our ceremony was small, it went exactly as we had hoped it would go. Despite having only spoken over the phone and by email, Shawn had prepared some words for the day that seemed to suit us perfectly. Erica’s photography was great! We love the photos that she took of us and our guests. She did a great job at mixing the scenery into the shots. Perfect for our forested garden location! All of our guests have complemented the ceremony itself and appreciated the friendliness they presented. Thank you both, and thanks also to Tara for helping to set things up for us!

Kadee was exactly what we needed for our unique ceremony. She seamlessly incorporated all of the elements that we wanted, and was open and caring. I would absolutely recommend her in particular but also the Young Hip & Married team in general!

We had an amazing experience with our officiant, Rhona at Young Hip and Married. She made the whole process so smooth and easy. My husband and I are quite shy people but she made us both feel at peace standing in front of everyone. Thank you again for everything Rhona.

We worked with Rhona and she was amazing! Very responsive, flexible with what we were hoping for our ceremony and just overall a lovely person. Would definitely recommend!

Just one word to describe how Shawn Miller officiated our wedding – AWESOME!!! We recommend Young Hip & Married to everybody who wants to have their wedding ceremony in good hands.

We had a very small ceremony with Chris-Ann Lakes as our officiant. As soon as we met her, we knew she was the perfect fit for us. She was warm and friendly and set the perfect tone for our ceremony. We did not want to write our own vows, so Chris-Ann scripted a beautiful ceremony for us, including our vows. Thank you Chris-Ann for a wedding ceremony we will always cherish.

We want to pass along a sincere thank you to YHM & especially, Jonathan, for making our day perfect. Jonathan delivered a ceremony that was eloquent, personable, and jovial. He was able to mix seriousness with humour and without knowing the guests in attendance, made them feel like he knew us for years. We were so pleased with his performance and cannot thank him enough for being a part of our big day.

Thank you to Jane for making our elopement a memorable and enjoyable experience. We wouldn’t have changed a thing. Cheers!

We wanted to express our sincere thanks for the most wonderful, exclusive wedding anyone could wish for. Thank you Erica and Shawn for sharing our special moment.

When we started researching officiants, I was determined to find someone that would make the ceremony the best and the least boring wedding ceremony my guests had seen, so when I found Young Hip & Married it seemed like a perfect fit. Brian was the company’s only option on the island and he was absolutely perfect. We chatted on the phone, over text and email, and met a few times before the wedding to get to know each other and it made the ceremony so authentic and personal. Brian is honestly one of the coolest and most interesting people I’ve met and almost every guest at the ceremony commented that it was the best one they’d been too. Everyone thought that Brian was an old friend that we’d known for years and it truly felt that way. The ceremony was the perfect length — not too long or too short — and Brian made it so fun and put us at both at ease. Young Hip & Married is a bit pricier than some officiants that you’ll find on the government website, but I am beyond happy that we went with them because the experience was truly priceless. I can’t recommend Brian enough and he will definitely be officiating our vow renewal in the future 😉

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!

I believe we had a pretty unique case. My husband and I wanted to have our ceremony on top of Mt. Seymour. There are no gondolas, and there was still plenty of snow on that hike in the beginning of May, so we knew that it would be a challenge to find an officiant who would hike up there with us. Thankfully, Randy from YH&M was up for that challenge! 🙂 He was also there on time and was very attentive; he engaged in meaningful conversations with our guests which meant a lot to me personally. The hike wasn’t easy, so he was also a great moral support to others :). There was an extra cost for his time, but absolutely reasonable and worth it.

I am very grateful that companies like YH&M exist and help bring our dreams to life <3 🙂

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with our officiant Shawn. A lovely and dedicated person who made our day so much easier and enjoyable for everyone!

Best decision we’ve ever made!! My husband and I had Shawn officiate and from the moment we met him, we knew he was our guy! The whole process was smooth and stress free but what amazed me the most was how he was able to capture us so perfectly as a couple. He set the tone for our perfect day and made it better than we could’ve ever imagined!!!

We had an amazing experience with the YHM team. They were professional and accommodating. We were married during the height of Covid-19. They helped it to feel very intimate, even while we social distanced. Shawn (Officiant) and Erica (Photographer) helped make our day so special. I highly recommend the YHM team for your small or large wedding day!

by Erica Miller Photography

Dealing with YH&M was a stress-free process! Jordan was our officiant and we could not have asked for a better turn out. Finalizing vows took only a couple emails and the information he provided for guidance was so helpful! From the timing to the signing, everything was so smooth and seamless. Feels really good to start our marriage off in a way that felt genuinely like us.

by Jades Photos

Amazing experience from start to finish. Lani was our officiant and did an outstanding job! I cannot stress how amazing she is – incredibly professional and the ceremony was beyond what we could’ve hoped or imagined! Each and every one of our guests commented on what an amazing ceremony it was; how it was both serious and very personal and fun. A lot of them said it was the best ceremony they have ever attended.

We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to officiate our wedding! Kristen has an amazing energy that shone through from her first introductory email right to the ceremony and beyond. Never a hesitation when I emailed with questions. We FaceTimed with her shortly before the ceremony to go over the details and we just loved her! She spoke with such joy about us during our ceremony. My mother wanted a blessing for our union and Kristen wrote an absolutely beautiful one for us! These guys know what they’re doing and make sure that you get exactly what you want! Our day was perfect and a big part of it was because of Kristen!!

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!

We had Erika as our wedding officiant and she was awesome! Very easy going right from the start and accommodated our date changes as our plans changed a few times. When we finally confirmed a new ceremony location and date we chose her without question even though there were other officiants in the area closer to the new location. She took a ferry for us and gave a beautiful personalized intimate ceremony. Definitely recommend as she made our wedding day special and everything went smoothly from start to finish.

We had such an amazing experience working with young hip & married. Especially our officiant Erika! Despite not being able to meet prior to our wedding due to Covid-19, the email communication was very prompt! I cant tell you the amount of times I bugged Rebecca and Erika with questions/changing of time line. They both were so great throughout the entire process. Erika was so kind, funny and all around a good time. Our ceremony was short and sweet just how we wanted it, in that short time of talking/meeting Erika my husband and I both felt so comfortable!! Not everyday you meet a “stranger” and feel so comfortable around them. To anyone who is looking for a fantastic officiant I would highly recommend working with young hip & married, especially Erika!

Young Hip and Married was the obvious choice for our wedding two weeks ago. They are very inclusive and offer many choices to make your special day exactly the way that you want. We got married in the Okanagan and our officiant was Natalie; she was very helpful leading up to our day making sure that we had everything we needed in time. Our ceremony was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. Could not have been a more perfect day!

Our officiant Jef was great! Most of our guests said it was the best ceremony they had ever been to. At one point, I dropped the ring (!!!) and Jef made an impromptu “no kicking motion” hockey joke that the crowd loved. Our only hesitation at first was the cost, but compared to other civil ceremonies we’ve been to, we think it was worth it.

We had a great experience with YH&M. Their script was fantastic, our officiant was sweet and flexible when we had to change our date & venue for the elopement. It’s not for everyone, but if you want a small ceremony hosted by an excellent and approachable stranger, they’re the best. I’m the fourth person I know who’s used them – small ceremonies are popular these days, I guess!

Great personal touch and service. Shawn went above and beyond in planning and working with us to create a unique and authentic ceremony.

Perfect Experience with Beth, Erica and YH&M!

Once we had decided that we wanted to elope in Vancouver, we started looking at options to do so. As two foreigners, we knew nothing about the legal procedures and who to get in order to elope in Canada. We read tons of blogs and reviews and even contacted a few officiants. What drew us to YH&M, however, was its cool name (I mean, can we at least take a minute to appreciate the name!?) and the overwhelmingly great reviews it had gotten on WeddingWire. We shot them an email and that was it; we were hooked.

We simply love our officiant, Beth. She was nothing but kind and patient with us. She explained to us what we should do step by step and set up a Skype meeting for us to tell her more about our story. I love that when we were trying to set up a time and date for the Skype meeting, she changed the time zone on the calendar to ours so that we’d get a clearer sense of the time. It’s the little things that let us know how much she cared.

Around 2 months before our elopement, a friend of ours who said she could take pictures for us on that day found out she couldn’t make it. Again, we turned to YH&M for help and we were so glad that we did. The staff promptly found Erica for us and we couldn’t be happier. She was kind and professional. Her work on social media looked amazing and we simply couldn’t wait to meet her in person.

Finally, the day of our elopement came and it was everything we hoped for and better. We were a bit nervous at first for we had chosen a rather crowded place to get married (Queen Elizabeth Park), when what we really wanted was to get married in an intimate and quiet corner. Lucky for us, Erica was there early and she immediately recommended this beautiful spot next to a small waterfall. The ceremony itself was lovely and we loved every second of it. Beth was so attentive to details which we could tell by the script she wrote for us.

I highly recommend Beth, Erica and YH&M and we definitely owe them many thanks. As a lesbian couple coming from Asia to get married, they really have helped us make our dreams come true.

Shalom made the whole process easy and simple and gave us advice on what we needed to do leading up to our ceremony. Day of, she was amazing and sweet to work with and helped us figure out what were were doing! I love that we got paired with our photographer, Nassim, as well who gave us some amazing photos of our special day. I 100% believe and will vouch that using Young Hip and Married is worth the price and would recommend their packages to anyone who is looking for wedding vendors.

I remember googling years ago for officiants who are LGBTQ+ friendly and Young Hip & Married came up. Since then I always had their name kept until the day came for me to use them.

I was easily put in contact with the officiant we picked from their website and the admin processes were very straightforward.

Our officiant Curt is very lovely and from the South like my partner, so it was meant to be. Curt is very professional and courteous and made the whole experience go by very smoothly. He made sure to answer any questions my partner and I had about the ceremony. His performance at the ceremony was also very well done – my guests have come back to me impressed with him. If you want a great officiant, I recommend Curt and the others on their website portfolio.

Highly recommend to anyone and everyone who wants their ceremony to feel special. Mine sure did 🙂

Shawn was an incredible officiant. He was warm, responsive, and supportive. He put together a beautiful ceremony for us and helped us write our personal vows. The guests loved it, and we will remember it forever. Highly recommend these folks, they’re wonderful!

Erika – thank you so much!! You were wonderful, and so many people told us that ours was one of the best ceremonies they’d been to.

by Jamie Delaine Photo

Shawn was awesome. He matched the feeling of our wedding perfectly. He was super engaging and fun to work with, and the ceremony was perfect. Thanks guys!

Melinda was incredible. We had a last minute ceremony (literally hours) and she made it feel like it had been planned for months. It was organic and so natural. It was like we had known her for years and she knew everything about us. It was a special day for us, as we reconnected after a lifetime of being apart and we cannot put into words how truly special our day was, and can only speak highly of our experience.

We had Beth Carlson-Malena as an officiant and had an unbelievable mountaintop wedding via helicopter. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend that anyone who isn’t interested in a traditional wedding do this.

by Clint Bargen Photos

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!

Jane from Young Hip and Married was so kind, punctual, friendly, and brought such a happy and calm energy! Her ceremony script was beautifully written and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I would recommend working with Jane to anyone in search of an excellent officiant!

Jane Halton married us and we could not have asked for a better officiant! Communication beforehand and during was great! We were also able to customize and choose our vows on such short notice lol. All in all, I would recommend Young Hip & Married to anyone looking to get married, especially Jane Halton 🙂

Melinda O was so nice, kind and accommodating! She made our special day even more special with her smiles and joy!

YHM was so easy and fun to work with. We booked our officiant, Denise, roughly a month before our elopement and the whole process from consultation to the wedding day was such a breeze! Denise kept in touch with us so many times to make sure that we had everything sorted out and ready to go. She then delivered such a stellar ceremony for us to remember. Tears were shed; it was magical. Highly recommend YHM and Denise to anyone looking to make their special day truly a once in a lifetime experience.

Thank you so much for sharing our day with us. It was a wonderful day, thank goodness the weather held out for us. Thank you again for being our officiant, you were amazing and the ceremony was perfect for us.

We knew we wanted a ceremony that was playful and true to our personalities. Jane with Young Hip and Married was not only friendly and professional, but delivered 110% on this requirement. All of our guests commented on how genuine, heartfelt and fun our entire ceremony was. We couldn’t be happier!

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!

Working with Young Hip & Married was SUCH a pleasure! They are so professional, organized and knowledgable…but the best part is they’re also so kind and FUN! Leading up to our ceremony they were very helpful and clear which allowed us to go into our ceremony with confidence, knowing how things were going to unfold. They even provided us with guidance on how to write our vows! Shawn was absolutely fantastic during the ceremony. We had so much fun, lots of laughs and it was definitely a highlight of the day. Our guests were raving about Shawn and the ceremony all evening long!

We recently had the pleasure of being married by Shawn of Young Hip & Married. The entire process was amazing. Shawn helped us see that being involved in writing our vows would lead to a ceremony that was incredibly meaningful and unique. The goal of the ceremony was to create a very special feeling and to allow the attendees to really get to know us and our relationship.During the ceremony Shawn made us feel incredibly at ease. I was surprised by how many guests came up to us after that fact, commenting on how amazing our officiant was. For anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding , definitely go with Shawn from Young Hip and Married. They are truly the best!

Young Hip and Married were amazing! We had Mark officiant our wedding and all the guests couldn’t stop raving about his ceremony! He was so personable and made our day so perfect. Highly recommend!

From the time I initially contacted Young, Hip and Married last year up to our wedding day we experienced nothing but the best from the whole team. Including several date changes due to the pandemic and deciding on a last minute intimate ceremony everyone was so lovely to deal with and not to mention prompt to reply to emails! You can tell they really love what they do and truly care about their clients. Denise helped make our day so special, her presence was calming upon arrival and her insight for our vows was just perfect.

We had the pleasure and honour of having Cory Dueck marry us on our big day. He was and is an amazing kind hearted soul that had every single one of our guests laughing and crying all at once. We had so many people ask us after the ceremony, how long we had known Cory for (which is exactly what we wanted people to think when we hired him). He gave it 110% and truly put a personal touch on things. This made us feel like our ceremony was more “us” and far from long and boring. Cory said from the get go that he wanted to help encourage our guests to feel a part of our ceremony and to remind them that the party and the fun start with the them at the ceremony (and it worked). From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you Cory. He was amazingly supportive and helpful and we couldn’t have gotten to that moment standing before him without all his wonderful help along the way. We highly recommend Cory to ANYONE that wants a kickass memorable ceremony. We truly felt like he became a part of our family along the way and because of that we plan on keeping in touch with him He is THAT amazing.

We loved Jane from Young Hip & Married! Our ceremony was exactly what we wanted and Jane did such a wonderful job. Highly recommend!

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!

Amazing experience from beginning to end. We wanted an elopment package that would fit our budget and also be super special. My partner came across Young, Hip & Married and what they offered was perfect. We live in London and travelled to Vancouver to elope. Tara and Kadee were very helpful with answering our questions as ‘out of towners’ and made everything very easy, which was very much appreciated. We opted for the helicopter elopement and it was simply perfect. The weather was a bit rainy and windy that day but we managed to get to the riverbed location at the bottom of the mountain. I would not have changed a thing. Erica was so helpful on the day, coordinating between us and the pilot, and making the photos a fun and awesome experience Kadee was the perfect officiant, couldn’t have asked for better. It was the perfect ceremony, beautiful words and Kadee worked in a small change to the traditional vows for us to make it super personal.

Thank you so much Kadee, Erica and Tara for all your help and expertise, it really did result in the best day ever. Kadee and Erica were absolutely the best and made the day so special. Tara, the Office Goddess who helped us orchestrate the whole thing, was also fantastic. Amazing company, amazing ideas and super friendly and supportive. Cannot rate them high enough and would thoroughly recommend. Thank you for an amazing and unforgettable day!

I would highly recommend this company, the friendliest and most amazing people to work with.

Our officiant Peter La Grand was professional, kind, and enthusiastic about our super tiny ceremony in West Van! He gave us suggestions for where to do our ceremony and was willing to scale some rocks for the perfect spot! Great experience overall.

Erika was lovely and very easy to work with. Our Elopement ceremony was held on our boat in Vancouver harbour. Young Hip and Married helped us coordinate our amazing day and remained flexible as we finalized details. We enjoyed meeting Erica and loved her warm, friendly personality, her humour and positive, cheery demeanour. Overall, our day was exactly what we wanted. We would recommend Young, Hip and Married to anyone wanting to get married.

So glad we chose them! We went with the helicopter elopement package and it was everything we had hoped. The photographer, officiant and staff that we dealt with were all professional, helpful and genuinely enthusiastic. Our day was everything we wanted.

My wife and I used Erika as our officiant, and she couldn’t have been better. I rate 5/5 easily, and would recommend her services to anyone. She was professional, friendly, and really made our ceremony special. Thank you!

We had a small ceremony in Vancouver, and had so many people comment on how great Shawn was as our officiant! Highly recommended.

I had a pleasant experience with my officiant Beth from Young Hip & Married. She was really helpful and friendly throughout the entire process, making sure it was easy and comfortable for us. I would highly recommend Beth if you’re looking for an officiant, especially as a same sex couple, really thankful and lucky to have a fun and wonderful human being to be part of our special day.

Beth was an incredible officiant. She got to know us and shared our story effortlessly and beautifully. Our ceremony was perfect for us and far exceeded any expectations. She was easy going and easy to work with. I would recommend Beth at Young Hip and Married to anyone looking for an officiant.

They are so kind and we (from Japan) were relieved. The officiant also readily changed the shipping address of the certificate. We had a superb wedding with Young Hip & Married.

Awesome folks. Helped us through each step of the process. Thanks to YMH folks!

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!!

We got married August 13, 2016 and chose Cory Dueck from Young Hip and Married to be our wedding officiant. We can say without hesitation that this is one of the best decisions we made. The ceremony was the most important part of the day to us. Cory took the time to meet us and was genuinely excited to get to know us and hear about our love story. He created a personal, emotional and heartfelt ceremony for us. When we think about our day, the emotions during the ceremony stand out to us the most. We’ve had people tell us it was the most emotional ceremony they’ve ever been to. Cory was truly invested in making our day special and memorable. (My bridesmaids and I would especially like to thank Cory for his foresight, suggesting that we stand on the opposite side during the wedding ceremony so we weren’t blinded by the sun). Cory-from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. You have united us as man and wife and we are forever thankful for this. We hope to stay in touch. Josh and Jennifer Wilkinson

We used Young Hip & Married for our recent wedding and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. They made the process stress-free with great communication from the start and paired us with an officiant who was perfect for us, Rhona! We cannot say enough good things about Rhona; she was so kind and lovely to work with, provided great insight and suggestions from her experience and was all around just amazing. She even asked us for our wedding colours to ensure that she matched the aesthetic, we were amazed by how considerate she was. Our ceremony was exactly what we hoped it would be. I would recommend Young Hip and Married and specifically Rhona to anyone looking for a wonderful officiant.

Thank you Young Hip & Married! Shawn delivered above & beyond for our special day, making it perfect. Erica, I can’t express enough the talent you entail and amazing works of art! Thank you both for your charisma, talents, and amazing personalities and joining us for our special day xx

We had a small and intimate wedding ceremony on a mountain top. It was even more than what we dreamed of! The helicopter ride was very smooth and the scenery was stunning. YH&M provided us with a very friendly, kind, and patient officiant (Kristen) and a very talented photographer (Emily). The whole package was also very affordable! I would recommend YH&M to anyone looking to have an intimate ceremony.

Shawn did an amazing job with our ceremony! We had to make a lot of adjustments to our original plan due to Covid restrictions and Shawn was so accommodating! We could not have been happier to have YH&M and Shawn be a part of our big day! We could not be happier!

I cannot say enough good things about YH&M. Cory officiated our marriage licence ceremony and he was absolutely WONDERFUL. He took all of the personal aspects of our story and incorporated it into the ceremony in a way that we would never have been able to do. We felt like we were hearing our own story for the first time! Our guests also commented on how beautifully personal it was. Some even teared up. So I can’t thank YH&M enough for what they did; they made our night that much more special. And big shout out to Cory for rocking a Hawaiian shirt! It was totally appropriate given we were signing the papers in a Tiki bar.

Love you guys!

Rhona from Young Hip & Married put together an amazing ceremony for us. She took the time to get to know us and always kept in touch with us. Our families thought she did an amazing job with the ceremony. I felt like I knew Rhona very well before even meeting her face to face. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding officiant.

I would like to thank the Young Hip & Married for making our big day a memorable one, and for your prompt reply on our request in so short notice. It was a pleasure to have acquired your services.

Jane is an excellent wedding officiant. We were so happy with the service that she provided. She personalized our ceremony, made us feel at ease, and spoke from the heart. Throughout it all, she was professional, yet warm and personable. She was incredibly open to aspects of our ceremony that were non-traditional. Overall, she inspired a lot of confidence in us, and we are glad she was a part of our ceremony.

YHM are not like your usual officiants, they bring a spark of energy and life into your ceremony all while making it heartfelt and personal. Shawn made us feel at ease and as if he’s known us for years. This is a great choice if you want your ceremony to be more of a memorable experiences and connection with your guests!

I first contacted Young Hip and Married five years ago with an elopement date that we were dead set on. They followed us ever since and worked really hard to have our vision realized. Even when an unexpected event kept her from being present on our elopement day, she had everything arranged with her partner to ensure that we would not notice anything different! I hope to never need their services again (cuz you know… :P) but please if you just got engaged with no clue where to start, these guys are all you need to make things a whole lot easier and smoother!

Jane both officiated our wedding and did pre-marriage coaching sessions with us, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was a true expert and designed the exact ceremony we wanted. We felt very lucky to have her, and received many compliments from our guests. Highly recommend!

Young Hip and Married was great to work with! Lani was our marriage officiate and even though we did not meet in person prior to the wedding day, she made our ceremony very personal and special. Lani was very authentic when she spoke about commitment and our union. I would totally recommend Young Hip and Married to anyone who wants a unique and awesome experience on their special day! Thank you!

I couldn’t have asked for a better day! The Young Hip and Married team took care of everything for our small heli-elopement. It was the no stress wedding we were dreaming of. Shawn did a great job officiating and made us both feel comfortable and we were touched by his words. Erica’s photos turned out so beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for anything more !

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!

Our wedding ceremony was perfect! It was personalized to explain us as a couple, and really did just that. Rhona was fantastic! She made our experience very special, and was very helpful and easy to get a hold of. She was very thorough and we really felt that she had an accurate description of us as a couple. She contacted our friends and family for their input as well. We had our guests raving about the ceremony afterwards and how personal and loving it was. We couldn’t have asked for anything more! We highly recommend!

Using Jason from Young Hip and Married for our officiant was hands down the BEST decision we could have ever made! He was so accommodating, creative, and encouraging when it came to writing what we wanted for our ceremony. He really let us make it exactly what we wanted and executed it perfectly! He kept in contact with us regarding the ceremony and even just to check up on us – he even Facetimed with us while we were in Germany! He truly took the time to get to know us and on the big day, it was so relaxed because we already knew him so well. One of our groomsmen actually asked during our rehearsal if he was a friend of the family! Thank you Jason and YH&M for making our day the BEST DAY EVER!!

Thank you so much for being our officiant Erika. We were both extremely happy with the ceremony, vows, everything really. I thought you brought a calming energy as well as a genuine happiness and excitement – it felt like we had known you for years. Thanks for doing such a fantastic job!

We were married in September 2019, and the experience we had with Beth from start to finish was one of the best parts of our wedding. We had selected a full package, allowing Beth to write and direct the ceremony that best fit our style, but which also allowed her to be comfortable in her style as well. It was fabulous to be in such good hands, to be understood so well, and to have someone convey our story so eloquently. The ceremony was a major highlight, and we’ll cherish the vows and story she wrote forever. Thanks Beth!

From the minute we reached out to Young Hip & Married, we were treated like gold. We felt like they really cared about our vision and providing us with everything we wanted for our special day. Kadee was our officiant and we cannot say enough kind words about her! The instant we met her, we felt happy that it was her that was going to be a part of our special day. Kadee worked with us in ensuring we knew exactly what to expect and she delivered perfectly! We cannot recommend Kadee and the Young Hip & Married team enough! Thank you!

It was an absolutely perfect day in Vancouver and our officiant, Rob, was lovely. Young Hip and Married were very easy to work with and we appreciate the resources available as well. Thank you.

For us, the most important part of the wedding was the ceremony and it was paramount to us to find the right officiant. We wanted a lighthearted ceremony since we knew, our emotions will be running high on that day. It was important to us to tell our story with a touch of humour but elegance. So when we came across YH&M, we really liked what we read (very effective website) and filled out their online form. Next day, we received an email with time options to meet the officiant. We had the pleasure to meet with Shawn Miller and had a great meeting. We felt immediately that with Shawn, we are in good hands. We didn’t even think twice but to hire YH&M. We were so excited, we both felt that it’ll be a great ceremony. What we gathered from our initial meeting was that Shawn is very experienced in his field, he is professional, knowledgable, has a great sense of humor and most importantly is very understanding. We made a few requests that were very important for us to be mentioned during the ceremony. On top of that, Shawn had to be mindful of my medical condition so that everything went smoothly. Yes, my parents were by my side but there were many things that were depending on the officiant and Shawn did an amazing job ensuring that I felt good throughout the entire ceremony, even if he had to do a few uncomfortable things like moving the guests around, rearranging seats, changing timing a bit etc. But he did it with such professionalism that no one felt awkward or uncomfortable. It was a smooth operation. Thank you for that Shawn! I have been to a few weddings and the ceremony has been always dry and impersonal, even though some couples chose their mutual friend to be the officiant so that this doesn’t happen. Our guests thought Shawn is our old friend, and knows us many years. This is the level of experience that he provides. After our initial meeting we filled out an extensive form detailing our wish ceremony style. Sometimes, when you fill out a form, people requesting those don’t read half of it. One thing that stood out for us with Shawn was his attention to detail. I’m very detail oriented and it was so important for me that nothing gets missed, especially during the ceremony. Shawn, paid attention to every detail and we could see that in the ceremony. Not only that, he has given us some valuable advise about certain things that we thought should be otherwise. Thank God we followed his advise. Our ceremony was better than we had envisioned or hoped for. We loved every single bit of it. It was lighthearted, elegant, beautiful, we laughed, we cried, it was 100% us and we felt amazing. Our guests are still talking about it and asked us how we found Shawn. For my husband and I the ceremony was the most magical experience and we are always thankful to Shawn for that. Well, needless to say, we highly recommend Shawn and YH&M to new couples.

Best day ever! Young Hip and Married made everything so easy, and were very professional. Our wedding day was so much fun. Lauren and Erica were the best. I would highly recommend YH&M and the helicopter elopement to anybody wanting to elope!

Thank you, YH&M team. Our officiant, Jane Halton, was amazing. The communication with the team was seamless. Again, thank you! 😀

We had a wonderful experience with Young Hip & Married. Right from contacting them, booking the date till the actual ceremony, it was a smooth process. The team was very accommodating. Our officiant, Jordan Shaw, performed a beautiful ceremony to officiate our wedding on Mystic Beach. Such an amazing experience! We’ll cherish this moment forever.

My husband and I used Young Hip & Married to find Lauren for our elopement in August this year. We had the easiest lead up to the wedding day! She helped us find vows to choose from and was so easy going after a few location changes on the day prior. She put together the most beautiful ceremony that was so fitting for our easy going day! We couldn’t be happier and would recommend Lauren and YH&M to anyone!

Honestly we were so pleased with our little covid wedding. Many changes had to take place to finally get a wedding, but we are so thrilled with how it turned out, and how accommodating Young Hip and Married were. Shawn was so magnetic and engaging; he had us so present in the moment. The few guests we had, and who watched the ceremony virtually, thought Shawn had been our friend for years, when in fact we had never spoke before that morning!! I can’t express how great it was for someone to be so comfortable in their job, and just know the perfect things to say. I will 100% tell all of my friends.

Thank you very much, Lauren. You made us feel welcome and your warm, friendly professionalism made things easy. So nice to see you again, and to have you be part of this important day in our lives. Thanks again for everything!

We highly recommend this company and in particular I recommend the wedding vow course and the officiant – we used Erika. Erika was very down to earth and put us at ease. She added a more personal touch and made our wedding service fun. 10 / 10

We had a great experience with Jane. She gave us lots of resources so we could figure out what we wanted for our ceremony. We were able to choose our vows from the great list that she gave us and she walked us through each detail and listened to all of our wants and revisions to the general template that she had. It was important that our ceremony was simple, short, and intimate – which meant it was more informal than your regular ceremony. Many of our guests said it was perfect – that it wasn’t so long and full of pomp as other weddings – but felt special and reflected who we were as individuals and a couple. Neither of us are religious, and my wife feels that some traditions go against her feminist beliefs. Jane ensured our voices were heard and the result was a ceremony that had us laughing, had us crying, and made us remember that this moment doesn’t last long – so we have to enjoy and savor everyone minute.

It was a very short wedding but regardless of the time and the amount of stuff we wanted to save for our big ceremony, we still cried and felt blessed with how Jane officiated.

We had a last minute wedding, but YH&M were able to fit us in and we are so happy they did! Erika was so wonderful to work with and she did such an amazing job officiating our wedding. We honestly couldn’t have been happier. Thank you for helping to make our day so perfect for us!

I cannot say enough good things about Young Hip & Married and the service they provide. They delivered exactly what we were dreaming of for our ceremony. It was not your cookie cutter wedding ceremony, it was unique and completely personalized. As soon as we met our officiant Randy we felt like we had known him for years. With his guidance and encouragement we were able to write and read our own vows (something neither of us thought we could do!). He took the time to get to know us as a couple and individually and that helped make our ceremony extra special. The ceremony was heartfelt, fun, and funny. Everyone at our wedding is still talking about how awesome it was and how much they loved Randy! Thank you Young Hip & Married!

We loved our ceremony and I’ve had lots of comments on how great you were! Thank you so much for an amazing ceremony and for being so flexible!

Jane from YH&M was great to work with! She met with us to get to know us where we answered questions about our relationship and she put together a beautiful story for our ceremony. She was professional and was great at communicating. Would definitely recommend.

We eloped on a mountaintop this summer, and hit the jackpot, having Beth as our officiant. We’d gone for a beer with her the week prior, and somehow it was as if we’d known her for years. She just GOT us. She encapsulated our love story, and all of the things that were important to us, so beautifully. The only downside is that every single one of our photos show us either crying or laughing! It’s been a month since that magical day. We already miss hanging out with her.

Shawn was absolutely amazing! It was raining on our special day..but Shawn made it seem like there wasnt a drop in the sky. His words soothed the crowd..and everyone was in the present moment sharing laughs and tears together. Shawn kept it light, romantic, and fun…just what we asked for. Our day was perfect. Thanks so much Shawn; we appreciate it more than you know.

We are so happy with our officiant, Marilyn! She made our intimate wedding very personal and engaging for us and our guests. Her wisdom and experience definitely was appreciated during the lead up to our wedding day. She made everything crystal clear for us and got to know us very well, so by the time of the wedding we felt like she was a dear friend! Thank you for making our ceremony extra amazing!

Our elopement couldn’t have been more perfect! It was just what we wanted with a quiet and beautiful location, and the ceremony was very intimate and special. YH&M were so friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. Thank you Shawn and Erica for helping to make this the most memorable day of our lives! It turned out even better than we had hoped.

Our wedding ceremony was the absolute highlight of the day for both of us and a lot of our guests. We had so many compliments about it, and about our officiant, Bobbi!  My cousin thought Bobbi must have been an old friend of ours seeing as how natural the fit was and how well she represented us. It was so awesome! We also had a lot of people say how they usually want to fall asleep during the ceremony, but not in this case. Honestly we talk about how hiring Bobbi was one of the best things we decided on for our wedding. 

Working with Young Hip and Married was such a wonderful and easy going experience. They provided tons of useful advice such as how to write the best vows and offered many options so that we could have a ceremony exactly how we envisioned! (Which in our case was a standing intimate ceremony with 8 of our family members) We had Jane as our officiant and she was absolutely lovely and made our wishes come to life.

When we first started planning a wedding, we had no idea what we were doing. We started looking at venues and photographers, commissioners and cake! It was all so expensive and complicated and making me really stressed. When we found Young Hip & Married through Google – looking at their services and packages… We knew that eloping was more our style and once we talked to them, all of our stresses were relieved. We told them what our overall wishes were and they helped us to find a beautiful spot in the city – we got married at Rotary Park. Layne was our officiant, and he was so kind and funny and helped us feel at ease the day of when we were nervous! Deanna was our photographer and she did such an amazing job; the pictures turned out beautiful. Overall I suggest YH&M 100% and would suggest that anyone who wants a special and unique wedding day to speak to them and find out more. Thanks again so much to the team, we loved every minute of it.

We are so happy we had Erika Enns from Young Hip and Married officiate our wedding. We knew right away when we met Erika that it was a good fit and she made the whole process easy and enjoyable. We loved how she told our story and helped us choose what type of vows we wanted to go with, etc. Several guests commented on how much they liked her and how she helped create the perfect ceremony. Thank you so much Erika!!

Had a really wonderful experience with YHM. They were flexible and responsive right from day one, and made our quick and casual wedding dreams a reality. With last minute changes they were open and willing to help and when our helicopter was canceled they ensured to keep us informed and up to date. Highly recommend.

Young Hip & Married are amazing! Throughout the entire process they were extremely friendly and professional. We had Lani as our officiant and we cannot say enough positive things about her. Lani has an amazing energy and makes you feel completely comfortable. Lani also has tons of experience and it shows. During the rehearsal, Lani made sure every little detail was discussed… and yes ,you don’t have to have that awkward conversation about asking her to move out of the way for your photographer to capture your first kiss as Husband and Wife because she is on it haha! We loved her personalized story and we’re over the moon with how the ceremony turned out. It was so refreshing to deal with such an upbeat and friendly professional throughout the wedding planning process. Thank you, Young Hip & Married and Lani!

We just wanted to reach out to you and thank you again for making our ceremony so special! It was above and beyond what we could have even imagined, and it was definitely a highlight of the day for us and our families! We really appreciated the amount of effort you put into the ceremony and meeting with us before.

Shawn accommodated us in every way possible, from not having a real location set when we booked, to changing the time and then trekking down a hiking path on a dreary Saturday in January. He made me feel so at ease and added personal details to our ceremony which made it even more amazing. I couldn’t imagine having anyone else there that day.

My husband and I had a very small ceremony (the Elopement Plus package) and Peter was our officiant. We were very happy with his easy going nature, and the way he made us feel relaxed and calm. His emails to us ahead of time were clear and concise, and he always made us feel that we could call the shots for how the day went. We planned our wedding in less than a month and Peter helped everything to go smoothly. We definitely recommend him!

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.

I manage the Princess and the Pea Hotel in Langley BC and had the pleasure of meeting Rhona, who officiated a recent wedding here. Professional, kind, and her grounded presence made this ceremony absolutely magical. I highly recommend her.

We had Shawn as our officiant for our wedding. We cannot say enough good things about Shawn and YH&M! We had to postpone our May 2020 wedding to May 2021 due to covid, and Shawn was so understanding, flexible, and supportive during the re-planning process. We had access to our ceremony script, which we could edit on google docs as needed. Shawn worked with us to figure out what type of ceremony we wanted, and gave us ideas and prompts for the script. Shawn was absolutely amazing for the rehearsal and ceremony and he was such a calming presence on our wedding day. We 100% recommend Shawn and Young Hip and Married!

We felt the ceremony went great! You were a great guide and we felt you were a seamless part of our day!

We went with the elopement package because we were having a small, immediate, family-only wedding. YH&M matched us with Kadee Smedley since we requested someone familiar with Queen Elizabeth Park, and Kadee had done many weddings there. To my horror, as we were about to start the ceremony, Kadee reminds me about the marriage license and I realize we didn’t get one. I’m grateful to Kadee and my husband for talking me through a near-meltdown. She remained so calm and patient with us and reassured us this happens more often than you’d think, and suggested we go through with the ceremony, pick up a marriage license (she even Googled a place for us!), and meet up again to do the paperwork. Kadee had such a positive attitude, and she was so kind and flexible with our big goof-up. I’m so glad she was a part of our big day; she really went above and beyond for these two lovebirds!

We had such an amazing experience with Young Hip & Married!! They were super helpful throughout the booking process and our officiant Daniel made everything so special for us throughout our elopement ceremony. Couldn’t recommend them enough!!

We heard about Young Hip & Married through our photographer. Since we had family traveling very far to come see us get married, we wanted the ceremony to be a bit longer and more intimate. Shawn Miller was our officiant and was perfect. We were able to collaborate with him and tailor our ceremony to fit our personalities. His words were beautiful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guy to of the job.

Our parents thought we were crazy when we said we wanted to fly Shawn up to Powell River to officiate our wedding. Within moments of Shawn running through the rehearsal, they understood why and were happy we did! Shawn was DEFINITELY the highlight of our day! The ceremony was more than we could have imagined or even come close to constructing ourselves. Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding, Shawn. You are doing amazing work and our only hope is that you’re still around in 10 years to renew our vows (hopefully next time in Hawaii).

Jane was super easy to work with from start to finish. She made the entire experience an easy one, and was super organized and stellar on the day of our wedding. Highly recommend!

“Sarah is personable and easy to work with. She is articulate, intelligent, and quick-witted. She sat down with us a few months before our wedding to learn more about us so that she could capture “us” in the ceremony, which she did perfectly. She wrote and performed a beautiful ceremony that fit us and our wishes (and all in 30 minutes!) We have gotten so many compliments from family and friends about how beautiful and moving our ceremony was, and this was all thanks to Sarah’s careful planning and execution. Sarah made the ceremony about us, but maintained a commanding and professional presence and we highly recommend her.”

Thank you YH&M for sending us Jane.

She was a perfect match for the vibe of our wedding. We had no idea what we were doing and Jane made the process seamless and easy. Our guests are still talking about how special and personal the ceremony was and they thought Jane was a perfect match for the day. We will highly recommend Jane and YH&M to anyone and everyone.

Young Hip and Married was a great choice for our wedding! Our officiant Randy was amazing. We had originally thought we wanted to speed through the ceremony; however, after talking with Randy we realized what a special moment it is not only for us but for our guests. We couldn’t have been happier with how our ceremony turned out and we owe it all to Randy!

Erika, you were amazing! Thank you for making our ceremony classy, trendy, hip, fun, engaging, and as per our expectations. You were engaged throughout the entire process and we truly appreciated that. We received a lot of comments that it was the best ceremony guests had ever been to because it was personal, fun, and I quote, “not ridiculously long or boring.”

I had the fantastic experience of having hired Young Hip and Married for my small wedding ceremony. Amazing customer service and our officiant Jane was lovely! Best day of our lives.

Jane was an amazing officiant; we couldn’t ask for a better ceremony. Our guests were very impressed by the whole thing and very appreciative of the personal stories and humour. The professionalism she displayed put us at ease; everything was so well thought through from beginning to end. The vow writing tools are extremely helpful as we had no idea where to begin. I highly recommend this service over hiring someone who just shows up on the day.

Lise did a fantastic job for us. Our celebration was small and unique. She met with us to get to know us in advance, had us fill in a questionnaire to get more detail and put together a beautiful ceremony that was warm and loving. Several of our guests mentioned it was the nicest ceremony they had ever been to. Lise has many talents including being a dance instructor so we asked her to stay to do a little lesson with the group and it got everyone up out of their chairs and dancing and laughing and we all had a wonderful time!!

My wife and I were lucky enough to have Beth as our officiant for our ceremony. She did such an amazing job matching our style, and telling our story for all of our guests to hear. Beth helped to make our special day even more memorable. Throughout the night I had countless people tell me that it was the best, most personal and memorable ceremony they had ever seen. We can’t thank Beth enough for such a wonderful experience, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs an officiant.

Thank you so much for such an amazing job. Both Kristina and myself couldn’t be happier with how our ceremony went. You played such an important part, and by adding personal touches regarding our story, you helped all of our guests get to know us in a way that helped to truly showcase what Kristina and I are about. I had so many people (including both my parents) tell me that this was the best ceremony they’ve ever seen. In their own words, each person ended up saying that usually most ceremonies they’ve seen tend to be a boring portion of a wedding that tends to drags on, but that ours was the complete opposite. Everyone loved how you managed to encapsulate our story, while at the same time reflecting a tone and style that matches how Kristina and I are. You helped make everyone laugh, cry, and have an unforgettable experience. Thank you for everything, and most of all, thank you for helping make the day perfect for Kristina.

Our officiant was Shawn Miller and he did a great job of preparing and ensuring that our wedding ceremony went perfectly! He was both professional and spontaneous throughout the day. A number of our guests remarked afterwards that they had enjoyed his fun and engaging manner. We were lucky to have Shawn with us and wholeheartedly recommend him.

Thank you so much for your kind words! Everyone said that you did such a fantastic job and people really got a kick out of the hand fasting. It was different and a little unique, so thank you for making it happen! I’ve enjoyed my experience with you and the company since day 1. If someone were to ask me what legendary customer service is, I’d point at you guys!

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

Working with Jane from Young Hip & Married for our wedding ceremony was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. YH&M and Jane were highly recommended to us and we can see why. Jane was so warm and welcoming to us right off the bat at our first meeting. She took the time to get to know us both as a couple and individuals. She created a personalized ceremony for us that was authentic, romantic, light-hearted, and a bit humorous – exactly as we had envisioned it. After the ceremony, we received many comments from guests about how much they loved our ceremony and how much they enjoyed it. Jane and the Young Hip & Married team made our wedding ceremony one we will never forget. We highly recommend their services to everyone.

Jonathan was amazing! We have had so many compliments about him! So easy going, and great to deal with leading up to and on the day of. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone!

Rich – what an absolutely awesome officiant to work with – he was funny, bright and wasn’t put off when we sent him to the wrong spot on Scottsman’s hill! Rich is through Young Hip & Married, they were great to work with, have tons of options for officiants! They were in constant contact with us, making sure that the ceremony Rich did was exactly what we wanted.

We were paired with Jane from YHM. She made the process simple for us and accommodated any last minute requests we had. Super professional and responsive throughout the entire experience. We highly recommend YHM!

We would like to thank you again for being such a good spirit about the rain and really being professional throughout the ceremony despite getting completely poured on. A lot of our guests commented on what a trooper you were! Mauricio and I agreed that you were the real heart of the day and kept us thinking about what was really important and not worried about the rain as much as we could have.

Cannot recommend YH&M more! We worked with Erika as an officiant for our small elopement, and since we sent our first email reaching out, to the moment we said our “I do”s, the service was so incredibly personal, warm and helpful. They were supportive of us using our own format, including adding in a few extra moments that were not originally in the script. On top of all of this, they also took care of all the paperwork for us, making everything post-elopement a breeze. Despite only ever meeting Erika on the day of our wedding, our guests all felt like we already had an existing relationship with her. Thank you so much for the amazing support and service!

Had no idea what to look for and how this would work but we knew we wanted something unique. After doing a search, I stumbled upon their page and it kind of stood out with a couple of buzzwords/phrases that spoke to what we were looking for. Something uniquely us and fully customized. We sent off the request and were quickly moved into a conversation with the business who were very helpful right away. It was the 1st time so neither me, nor my now wife, had any idea what we were to do with this part of the wedding.

It didnt matter; they jumped right in and let us know we are far from the 1st that showed up doe eyed on the subject. We were put in touch with Jason pretty quick. We ended up talking over the phone at 1st and it was one of the 1st moments of “breath out” we experienced during the planning. He was ready to go, he had a plan for us and just wanted to hear what we had to say pertaining to what we like. He took that 1st interview and started to get to work.

We were a little late on the follow up as I am sure many of us are but he maintained contact and reminded us periodically that we still had this to complete. We were only about 5 weeks out when Jason had suggested we meet via Skype to build off the 1st call. It was great; he had an idea based on the initial call and started bouncing ideas off us. It fueled the thought processes for us as well and we worked to put together a fully customized, short and sweet but very meaningful ceremony that day. Jason took the ideas, wrote up a draft and sent it that week. We were able to review, make a couple small changes and send it back for finalization.

This was an area of worry from the jump and this company took that all away and allowed us to concentrate on all the other planning. It was incredible how easy it felt. While I would love to say I would use them again I do think this will be the only time 😉 I highly recommend to anyone that needs this service however. They were terrific.

Young Hip & Married allows you to connect with an amazing officiant that will learn who you are and the reasons as to why you want to get married. They will create a perfect ceremony and ensure no surprises come so that your big day can be just that. Young Hip and Married has great officiants and helps ensure you are with the one that works best for not only you as a couple, but for your ceremony.

From the moment we met Peter La Grand, we knew we wanted him to be our officiant. His calm welcoming presence made us feel comfortable from the get go. He worked continuously with us to customize the script to our liking and made sure our day could be as perfect as possible. Seeing as my wife and I are rather shy, Peter offered to do most of the talking for us which we are beyond thankful for. He made the ceremony memorable and very personal to us which helped everyone feel more involved and connected. Although we got married during Covid, Peter helped ensure an appropriate, yet very safe, ceremony. On top of that we had a slight emergency, which delayed our ceremony start time, but Peter stayed calm and helped keep me calm and ready for the ceremony. He was beyond flexible with timing and location as we had multiple different ideas up until the last week when we finally decided on a date and location. I could not have asked for a better officiant than Peter La Grand. All of his work and wording was exquisite, and the ceremony he performed for us was breathtaking. If only we had a reason to work with Peter again. Thank you again for everything Peter.

What a wonderful experience!! Everyone was so awesome during the entire process. Very responsive to emails with all my questions since we were traveling to BC from Missouri. Thank you for making our day awesome!

Beth officiated for me and my newly married wife this September 6 along with the best photographer,  Erica. Can’t thank them enough for this wonderful experience and everything! It’s one of our best decisions to choose Young Hip &Married!

Simple but perfect! It was really so random that we chose Young Hip & Married, but when we saw Beth and her introduction, immediately we contacted her. In the beginning, we only used emails to keep in touch, but she responded so quickly and understood everything me and my wife wanted. Even when our photographer accidentally couldn’t make it, she found us Erica, the nicest and prettiest photographer in the world! We’re really grateful for everything Young Hip & Married has done for us, and we will definitely recommend them to our friends if they want to get married in Canada!

by Erica Miller Photography

We had an amazing experience with Young Hip & Married and cannot recommend them enough. Shawn was very communicative and made everything stress free. He gave us tips on how to write our own vows and a step by step guide of what to expect on the day. Shawn is absolutely terrific! He made our ceremony absolutely perfect and we can’t thank him enough; especially for calming us with the deep breaths and the beautiful words he spoke at our ceremony. All our guests were ranting and raving about how incredible our officiant was and if they were to get married that’s who they would want officiating it.

YH&M was patient with me during the year (or two) it took to finally nail down actual elopement plans. After almost booking pretty well every option they offer, and going back and forth with about a million location ideas (and actually booking the helicopter elopement, before remembering I’m afraid of flying…), they worked with me and supported me through the entire process. I greatly appreciated the ease and flexibility in the planning and personalization of our ceremony, which was extremely important to us. Randy was an easy going “go with the flow” kind of guy – which rounded out our experience perfectly. No regrets with choosing YH&M to be a part of our special day!

We had Erika as our officiant for our wedding in Sep 2022. It was a pleasure to work with Erika and her friendly personality and willingness to help us in any way possible made our wedding ceremony planning process easy and stress-free. Erika and the YH&M team were very responsive and very efficient. Erika did a wonderful job and the ceremony was just as relaxed and light-hearted as we had hoped for! We are so grateful and appreciative for the wonderful ceremony that Erika officiated for us. Thank you Erika for helping us create a beautiful and memorable ceremony!

We were looking for an officiant for our elopement, and came across Young Hip & Married, where we were introduced to our officiant Jane Halton. Jane is a wonderful officiant; she also responds promptly to questions, and checks in if you book your wedding in advance. Jane also made our low key elopement a memorable experience with her uplifting, positive and joyful nature. Thank you YH&M for appointing her to us 🙂

The YH&M team is AMAZING!! They were super friendly and organized! We had to change our schedule slightly, and they did not hesitate to accommodate us! Our officiant Jane was AWESOME!! She had a beautiful script prepared for us and was also happy to tweak it to make it sound more like us! Everything was perfect! I am sure that we owe a lot of that to this team – they made everything easy!

YH&M were great! We had a unique ceremony where a close friend acted led the ceremony and the reading of the vows. YH&M were present at the ceremony for the official signing of the marriage license only (as per our wishes). They were very flexible and accommodating about their role in the ceremony. They did a fantastic job, and I would highly recommend them.

This company made our wedding really great! Jane was excellent, friendly and organized and she made our ceremony unique for us! We really appreciate it and for sure we recommend Jane Halton to make your wedding as nice as you want!

We were extremely happy and fortunate to have you marry us. It was unfortunate with all the rain, however it was still a beautiful day and everything turned out fantastic – best day ever!

Jane was an amazing officiant. Emotions were high on my wedding and the way my husband and I cope is with comedy. Jane was able to adapt to our chemistry and made us feel very comfortable. There was great communication prior to the ceremony as well.

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding officiant than Jane. She is laid back enough to make it fun and non-stressful to work with her, but not so laid back that she is casual or trivial—she takes seriously the significance and honour of the ceremony. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, and this allowed her to be very personal in her homily, and to speak words of encouragement and challenge that will remain with us for a lifetime.

We just got married in April 2017 by Marilyn Knipp and we couldn’t have asked for a better officiant!! We met Marilyn a few months before the wedding to get to know each other, but it was more like a session to understand yourself better. I learned so much about myself and what I wanted out of my relationship/marriage, as did my husband. Marilyn made us feel totally relaxed and brought us together during a really stressful time in our lives. I felt like she was my long lost mother that I could talk to and feel at ease with 🙂 Marilyn tailored our wedding based on our personalities – we wanted something laid back and fun yet still have the romantic aspect of the ceremony. She also made all our guests feel included and brought good vibes. I’m so happy we chose Marilyn to be our officiant. Thank you for making us laugh and lifting our spirits and overall helping us have the wedding of our dreams!!!

Young Hip and Married made it easy! Our officiant Erika was awesome and took the time to answer all our questions about the ceremony, which made everything go really smoothly on the big day.

We had the most incredible laid back wedding hosted by Shawn Miller of Young Hip and Married. From the moment we first started talking about our ideas to the actual day, we had full support and communication from Shawn and the team. We are based in the U.K. and they worked with the time zone difference to organize Skype calls and used Google docs to write and annotate the wedding service. If you want a fully customizable, personal, laid back wedding, this is the company to use.

Shawn was very helpful and helped to make our ceremony very personal. Our guests commented as to how personal and interesting our ceremony was and that was what I really wanted. It’s great to have a fun party after but let’s be real, its really all about the ceremony, right? Shawn is well worth the costs and he really is available for any help you may need.

Shawn, at Young Hip & Married, was awesome! We had to postpone our wedding date because of Covid, and Shawn was super flexible and worked with us to make it all happen! We would totally recommend Young Hip & Married to anyone! Thanks for marrying us, Shawn!

We got married on August 25th, 2017 and both me and my now husband are not huge attention/ crowd people and the ceremony was the biggest area of anxiety for us. I came across Young Hip & Married and read Cory’s page and we both knew we needed to meet him!

When we met, right away I had a great feeling and Cory was so welcoming and calming and put so many of our questions and concerns at ease.

He was amazing helping us put our vows together and prepping us for the most important day of our lives.

The day of our wedding Cory was AMAZING. He spent time with Kyle and myself making sure we were ready and that we knew everything that was going to happen so we felt comfortable.

The ceremony felt like someone who knew us for years was speaking to us and walking us through it, everything felt so natural and meant to be and that was due to the relationship we had formed with Cory over the months leading up to our wedding.

Everyone says to me now, “Your wedding was beautiful and your officiant was incredible – one of the best ceremonies I have ever witnessed.”

Thank you, Cory!

I can’t wait for our 10 year  vow renewal so we can have Cory come and do that as well!!!!

We were originally worried about spending too much on an officiant but after all was said and done we have no regrets. Our Officiant Wade was very professional and catered everything to our lighthearted tone. We had plenty of guests compliments and comments about how everything seems so natural.

by Pursell Photography

Gerry was the perfect officiant for us. 10 out of 10. (We didn’t know him before this.) Gerry went above and beyond in so many ways. He had such a great energy from the start making our ceremony relaxed and fun. From helping us write our vows, to keeping our toddler distracted while we said them…he made things so much easier for us. We’re happy he was a part of our special day.

Thanks again for everything! Your personal touches were incredible and we received comments from so many of our guests about it. We would highly recommend you to our friends and family.

Thank you for everything! Our wedding was incredible and we can’t thank you and our vendors enough! Especially when those dark clouds rolled in and the tornado warning came on the TV! But regardless of the quick downpour, we had the most amazing day and it was everything we could have dreamt of and more. We have received a lot of lovely feedback about your officiating and we couldn’t agree with everyone more about how great you were 🙂

We had Shawn from Young Hip & Married at our wedding – he was everything we could have wanted and more! Really set the vibe we were looking for and everyone loved him! Highly recommend them 🙂

Jane Halton was our marriage officiant. She is terrific!! 🙂 Unforgettable day for us. You do not have to worry about anything if you are with Young Hip & Married. If anyone is reading this review and still finalizing, I will suggest go for them. They are a real helping hand. The main element of your ceremony is sorted!!

by Ronnie Lee Hill Photography

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

From start to finish, working with Young Hip & Married was a breeze and such a positive experience. Our officiant Beth was thoughtful, insightful and incredibly kind – She created a unique script for our ceremony that felt personal and made us feel comfortable throughout the whole process and ceremony. Thank you so much for all of your hard work!

by Zoe Bates Photography

Awesome company, they set up everything for us and even had a back up plan ready when we couldn’t do our helicopter elopement like we originally had planned because of weather!

Beth was our chosen officiant from Young Hip & Married and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. From our first meeting, we knew Beth was the one – you could say she had us from hello. We were immediately drawn to the sincerity in her approach and her authentic interest and care for the love stories of others. She felt like a friend who wanted to be part of our story as much as she wanted to retell it for us.

For me, the ceremony was incredibly important. I wanted it to feel special and be an honest reflection of our vows to one another today and always. Beth took our story and made it magic. We’ve had so many guests comment on how wonderful she was and we couldn’t agree more! Responsive, kind, sincere, easy to work with and most of all fun – thank you so much Beth for being a beautiful memory of our day.

Having been at a friend’s wedding in the fall where it was very evident that the officiant hadn’t met the couple previously, my then fiancé and I decided that we should invest some money in our wedding ceremony- after all, it was a very important element of our wedding day for us. After some research, we reached out to Young Hip & Married and within a day we had a meeting scheduled with Shawn. From the moment we met him, we knew that we wanted him to officiate at our wedding. It was obvious that he wanted to create a ceremony that was completely “us” and he wanted all our guests to leave the ceremony thinking the same! He answered all our questions and put us at ease. He took us through all stages of the planning so painlessly and it was so much fun working with him. When my fiancé and I read the ceremony script for the first time, we cried- Shawn had captured our story perfectly and we couldn’t wait for the big day!! When it came to the rehearsal, Shawn was just so excited to see us and to prepare us for our big day; all the nerves went away! Then to our big day- the day was so emotional and he actually worked with our guests and us to calm us all down and perform the most perfect ceremony for us!! All our guests were raving about how amazing he was and we couldn’t agree more! Young Hip and Married genuinely care for their couples and we couldn’t recommend them more to all the engaged couples out there!

From the beginning, everyone at Young Hip and Married was fun, easy and quick at getting back to me and putting me in touch with Jonathan M. The entire process was uncomplicated and flowed so nicely. Jonathan was truly amazing. We worked with him via Skype leading up to the day and it was perfect and felt like we knew him forever. Jonathan was funny and the whole ceremony was personal and perfect beyond words. We haven’t stopped receiving compliments from our friends and family. Thank you so much Jonathan – we love you ! And thank you to the whole team!

We both appreciated how easy it was to work with YH&M. Our officiant, Jordan Shaw, was wonderful as well. +Very accommodating +Friendly staff +Wide range of services to choose from

We recently chose Shalom Wiebe as our officiant and were so happy we did. Her warm personality and knowledge made speaking with her easy and ensured all our questions were answered. Her preparation in advance and collaboration with our MC and day-of-coordinator made our special day seamless. Thanks Shalom!

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!

Thank you again YH&M and especially Mark for making our day unique and unforgettable!  We will be recommending you to anyone and everyone we know!!

Young Hip and Married was an absolute dream to work with. They responded quickly and always fully answered any questions or concerns my husband and I had. They matched us up with the PERFECT officiant, Kristen, who is an absolutely phenomenal person. My husband and I really wanted to have a personalized ceremony performed by someone who truly got us – from the moment we met Kristen we knew she was the one! Whether it was talking on the phone or chatting over coffee, Kristen took the time to really get to know us and our story and she quickly became our friend. Furthermore, my husband and I are not too fond of the spotlight, so the wedding ceremony was a source of anxiety for both of us. Kristen easily removed those anxieties for us, not only in the planning process, but on the day of as well. This is a great company with exceptional people and my husband and I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a truly special and personalized ceremony!

Our officiant was Peter and he was so great!! We’re happy he was our officiant. Highly recommended!!

We saw Young Hip & Married in action when our best friends got married in 2018. They could not have recommended YH&M highly enough. Now that we’re married, we would confidently recommend them as well. My wife and I were very particular about what we were looking for out of our wedding officiant. Jane ticked all the boxes including some we didn’t realize we needed! She understood exactly what we had envisioned for our ceremony; and was full of good ideas and helpful advice during the planning process. Looking back now, we can’t imagine anyone else presiding over our wedding.

We enjoyed working with Jane from Young Hip and Married. She was professional and helped us through the process. We got compliments from our guests about how much they liked what she said in our ceremony. It was a great experience!

Jane was an amazing and flexible officiant. She was gracious in dealing with our last minute changes and prioritized our needs the whole way through. Thank you for such a smooth experience! We would definitely recommend 🙂

Young Hip & Married was fantastic to work with through every step of the process. Beth was a delight and really went above and beyond to make sure we ended up with a ceremony that fit our vision. She was very thorough in her approach and even worked a custom handfasting into our ceremony. We would highly recommend her as an officiant and YH&M overall as a company.

by Henry F Photography

My spouse and I were both thrilled with Young Hip and Married. Shawn made sure that we knew exactly what to expect and guided us through every step.

We were so fortunate to have Shalom marry us. Working with her and Young Hip & Married made eloping in another province a breeze. Shalom was flexible and patient with us which made our wedding day stress free and relaxing. We are so appreciative of that! She is so kind, and has the biggest heart. Her words during the ceremony were meaningful and heartfelt. We would highly recommend YH&M and Shalom for your upcoming wedding!

Young Hip & Married brought so much ease to my big day! From start to finish they were professional, helpful and responsive. Shawn was an absolute pleasure to have officiate our wedding! He managed to swiftly juggle our ceremony with two toddlers pulling at each other, fighting for the attention. Worth every penny! Thanks again Young Hip and Married !! You guys rock!!

Erika,

We wanted to thank you so much for the great job you did and the positive energy you brought to our wedding ceremony. It was so perfect and we really appreciated how easy you made this whole process for us. Your card was a very thoughtful touch as well!

We will definitely be recommending you to any friends/family that are getting married in the future.

It all started when we hired YH&M to help us plan a simple and personalized wedding. Rich officiated our marriage on January 28th 2024 in Banff. Although we didn’t meet Rich until the ceremony, he made us feel like we were old friends – very welcoming and comfortable!

He created a beautiful memory filled with love and warmth around us, which made the wedding vibe a lot easy, resulting in an absolute beautiful ceremony. Deanna photography skills is superb.

We are so pleased to work with you and every single step of the way was seamless, smooth and stress-free. Your warm and approachable nature made the ceremony all the more special! We would recommend you guys a thousand times over 🤍

by Deanna Rachel Photography

Shawn Miller is the best of the best. He had wonderful energy and came through for us only a few days before my wedding. After calling Young Hip & Married twice, I thought they didn’t return my phone calls. But after posting to Shawn online about it, he got involved and got down to it and solved all my problems. My mother forgot to replay the message to me 🙁 but despite the mix up, he delivered. I can’t thank him enough. And would recommend him to everyone and anyone getting married.

My wife and I are wedding photographers, and as such we get the opportunity to work with a LOT of different wedding officiants! Rarely do we get the opportunity to work with someone as engaging and genuine as Shawn Miller from Young Hip & Married. His enthusiasm is plain to see, and he has a way of creating an intimate vibe with the wedding guests. Many officiants are not able to get an audience’s cooperation when requesting an unplugged ceremony, but Shawn had a way of requesting it that made guests feel more involved, and it made for a lively and captivating ceremony wherein the guests did not miss their devices. We look forward to the opportunity to work with Shawn again, or any of the other YH&M officiants, as I’m sure they all exhibit the same standard of care! Thank you Shawn, for creating a beautiful ceremony for us to photograph. And for looking like a bit of a rock star in the pics!  – Matt of Pebble & Pine Photography

Young Hip & Married were efficient, friendly and would highly recommend. Jane was wonderful, extremely kind and personable. 10/10!

We wanted quick, but beautiful, and we got it all. All our questions were answered quickly and Jane was absolutely lovely. We couldn’t have asked for more than to just get hitched!

Erika was the PERFECT person to lead our wedding ceremony. From the moment I met her, her warm and engaging nature made me feel comfortable and at ease. After just one coffee visit and a short intake form, Erika created a draft ceremony script that was as if she had known Gary and I our whole lives. During the ceremony, she struck the perfect balance between having us and our guests in sentimental tears and light-hearted laughs, which is exactly what we wanted. Our wedding involved the fusion of Western and Sikh cultures, and Erika created a ceremony that honoured our parents and our backgrounds in a unique and perfect way, and gave us words of wisdom to remember as we move on in our marriage together. I cry every time I think of our ceremony and how perfect it was. Thank you for being such an important part of the start of our new lives together.

Booking and planning our elopement was easy with Young Hip and Married. Jordan the officiant did a wonderful job and was in contact with us prior to the service to ensure it was exactly what we wanted. Heather from Tulle and Tweed Photography (booked through Young Hip and Married) did an incredible job capturing the day and gave us plenty of beautiful photos to look back on. Communication from every person we spoke with was great and made planning the day and making sure we had everything ready easy.

Great, supportive and helpful resource for our wedding. The premium package included helpful tools for vow writing and name changing. A bit expensive, but we were so happy with our officiant, Wade Lifton. Thanks Wade!

When I was first looking for an officiant, I had a lot of concerns. I’m a non-traditional bride and our wedding was so diverse that I was worried that I would have a super traditional and rigid officiant. My husband and I found YH&M through looking up online reviews and we were really drawn to the fact that we could customize the ceremony. They were so responsive once we filled in the information form. We got to meet our officiant before making any commitments as well.

Our officiant was Rhona and she was absolutely amazing!! Her energy matched my partner and I so well. She was so helpful and responsive when we emailed her with questions. Having her at our rehearsal made everything run so smoothly on the day. We asked her for a very sweet ceremony with some humour and she absolutely delivered! The ceremony was absolutely the highlight of the wedding. All of our friends and family thought she was great!

Lastly, the vow writing course was so helpful for organizing what we wanted to say to each other 🙂

Our wedding experience was wonderful! We flew by helicopter to an area in the mountains that was so special for our ceremony. We had a wonderful time; thank you so much for making our special day so momentous!!

Working with Young, Hip & Married was easy and they provided us a lot of great resources to help with getting organized for the ceremony.

Anthony was our Officiant and he was awesome!  He showed up well in advance and considering we had never met before or even walk the ceremony space together he was exactly what we had hoped for.  His calm cool demeanor, professionalism and overall enthusiasm for our special moment was fitting for our camp wedding weekend!  He was able to read our style and he fit right in with our group creating an even more unique and memorable experience!

I had been following Young Hip & Married for a few years, always impressed with their annual “Love In the Square” elopement event held on Valentine’s Day. When my partner & I decided to get married, there was no hesitation in choosing to work with YH&M! We wanted a quiet, simple, no-frills moment to celebrate our union, and YH&M delivered that. Shawn, our officiant, and Erica, our photographer are the ultimate power couple! Both super sweet, they took excellent care of us. They suggested the perfect quiet spot in the forest, and gave us a beautiful ceremony. The wedding vows course was an added bonus! So helpful. Considering we didn’t exchange rings or anything like that, our vows were the focal point of our day. The course helped us make sure they would be perfect. YH&M was such an easy choice for our special day.

Jane was super attentive, emailing back and forth to make sure the ceremony proceedings were what we wanted them to be. On the day of, she was calm (which made me calm!) and made sure we took time to enjoy the moment. Would highly recommend her and Young Hip & Married to anyone looking to have a small, but still great, wedding!

I’m so glad that we chose Young Hip and Married to officiate our wedding! Erika was awesome in every way; a great combination of fun, sincerity and professionalism. She took the time to really get to know us and helped make the ceremony exactly as we hoped it would be. We can’t thank you enough, Erika! The day was magical and we truly appreciate all that you did to make it that way!

We were blessed to have Shawn officiate our marriage! The whole journey from meeting them via zoom, and going through the process of writing vows and planning the coordinates was so hassle free! We are very grateful to have them to be part of our wedding journey! Shawn was early in the location making sure everyone feels welcome. He is very professional and very kind. Before the event starts, he came out to find me and re-assure me that everything is perfect and that everything is right on time. 5/5 star is not enough, should be 10/10 🙂

Absolutely fantastic! I had no idea the ceremony could be so fun! Brian really got to know us and made the ceremony perfect. Our guests thought he was an old friend and absolutely loved it. As did we. Thank you SO MUCH!!

An unforgettable day with Young Hip & Married. Right from the get go, the company, Shawn and Erica were responsive to all our questions and concerns. A blip on our part resulted in us wanting to change the date of the elopement, which YH&M accommodated no questions asked. Incredible service. The helicopter ride was stunning, the ceremony itself was everything we could have asked for and Shawn really was a dream to listen to. He made us feel relaxed and his words were beautiful. Erica, our photographer, was such a babe. She made us feel comfortable and the photos are amazing – we genuinely look like we are having an absolute blast! It was totally worth flying from the UK to be married in such a way, with such an awesome company. I can’t recommend them enough!

We had Shawn Miller as our wedding officiant and it was the best decision we could of made for our wedding!! Shawn won us over with his refreshing positive outlook on marriage and after meeting with him, he had us even more excited for our wedding day (which we didn’t think was possible). From beginning to end, Shawn had us covered and left us feeling relaxed and eager for our day. He was extremely accommodating and created the perfect ceremony catered to us. Throughout the evening we had so many compliments about our ceremony.Weeks after the wedding, we are still receiving so many compliments on how much they enjoyed the ceremony and how amazing Shawn was. Thank you to Young Hip and Married for making our day even more perfect. Thank you Shawn for everything!!!

Anthony’s warm and humorous personality helped Mario and I feel comfortable and at ease on what could have been a stressful day. Every one of our guests commented on how the wedding ceremony was so wonderful and touching. Anthony’s message and style reflected our own hearts to our guests.

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.

We had a very lovely experience with Young Hip & Married. They are very organized and provides great customer service. We chose Kadee as our officiant and we love her energy and great smile! Having a wedding during COVID was surely not easy but Kadee made sure that we feel comfortable and stay informed. The speech she made for us was very sweet and made the whole experience so much better than expected!

I definitely recommend Young Hip & Married to officiate any wedding. The gentleman we had was awesome gearing our wedding to us. The company is really awesome at making sure you are comfortable with who they set you up with. They take the time to get to know you as a couple. Our officiant was professional but friendly and flexible.

We had a vague idea of what we wanted at the beginning of the process but Lise got to know both of us and put together something really special. The ceremony was customized for us – she kept it light, heartfelt and humorous (just how we wanted!). She was professional, has a wonderful speaking voice and her warm presence put us at ease. Exceptional job – thank you so much for marrying us! It was so lovely and so, so memorable.

Our relationship with YHM has extended for far longer than we anticipated – thanks covid! – and for this reason, among others, we are incredibly grateful for the professionalism, flexibility, and warmth demonstrated by Kadee (who officiated our legal ceremony in 2020) and Shawn (who officiated our larger wedding in 2021). Shawn on the big day itself was simply amazing – we received many compliments from guests on his “stage presence” not to mention how he contributed to the overall ceremony. We’re so thankful we chose YHM to be part of what turned out to be a very unconventional journey!

Nothing but THE BEST! Shawn was our officiant, and made our day so smooth, comfortable and intimate. I wouldn’t change a thing. We got our video back last month, and the video really focused and used Shawn’s part as it was so unique and special. I highly recommend this company!

Jane was our wedding officiant. She is one most likely to gather a huge crowd whenever she talks. She is inspiring and professional on her approach. Hence, our wedding went well as planned. It was a simple garden wedding at Vandusen Botanical Garden, but still it was too magical. Thanks to all your preparations and efforts to make our wedding such a huge success. Another person to thank is Clint, the photographer. He was the wonderful person who assisted us professionally when to take our pose. He was excellent at his job. He delivered as promised and his pictures were magnificent. Couldn’t ask for any other person to take our pictures on our most memorable day. Lastly, thanks to your company, Young Hip & Married. More power to you guys, and God bless! All smiles from us.

Thank you Shawn for making our day extra special. The process was seamless, classy, and laid back. Exactly what we wanted. Thank you!

Shawn from Young, Hip, and Married was the officiant for our wedding last October (2016). Communication leading up to the wedding was prompt, the script he produced was fantastic and wonderfully tailored to us, and he made sure that everything went incredibly smoothly. YHM are paragons of professionalism, right down to the wedding rehearsal (which I highly recommend you take advantage of). I have literally no complaints about them and, were I to do it all over again, I’d still go with YHM. They’re not cheap, but you absolutely get what you pay for.

Cory Dueck was amazing! We are so happy we chose him. Everybody liked him and our ceremony went exactly as I imagined.

We had Rhona as our officiant and could not be happier. We purchased the customized ceremony package and the process was amazing. Working on the ceremony script leading up to the day made us feel comfortable and confident that what was going to be delivered was exactly what we wanted. Rhona was so warm and kind and make our ceremony extremely special. We had many comments from our guests about how lovely she speaks and how engaging she was. Definitely recommend Young Hip & Married especially if you are looking for something unique and/or more personal.

This company is absolutely amazing! Their quick communication makes booking them super easy. We were matched with Erika and upon meeting her we instantly connected! Her attention to detail shone through in her writing and she tailored our ceremony to fit us exactly! She is an amazing person who cares a lot about her couples. She guided us through the steps of the ceremony and took our nerves away. She was the first and only officiant we met and we could not be happier that she was the one to marry us! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company! You won’t be disappointed!

On time, very professional and very accommodating to our situation. Made the day great!

We had the best experience with Young Hip and Married. Our officiant, Lani, was a perfect fit for us! She met with us early on to get to know us and to understand our vision for the ceremony. She was incredibly enthusiastic and accommodating to our adjustments and plan. She went through everything at the rehearsal (expect our surprise vows to each other, of course!) and trouble-shooted all potential problems so that on the day of our ceremony everything was absolutely perfect. She made us both feel at ease and was just a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend her!!!

Our officiant, Shawn, was so supportive and inspiring leading up to and during our elopement! He made our ceremony so fun and easy going! Until today all of our guests keep commenting on how much they enjoyed Shawn’s words and the energy he brought into our special day! Thank you so much again!!! My husband and I would highly recommend this organization to anyone getting married! You won’t regret it 🙂

We chose Young Hip & Married to perform our ceremony because a friend of ours had Shawn and they loved every moment working with him. We decided to meet with Kristen and from the moment we met with her we knew we wanted her to do our ceremony! She was fantastic throughout the entire planning process and always offered her help. She made our ceremony very special and related it to us and our story and there’s nothing we would’ve changed!

We were married this past weekend by Young Hip & Married and it was perfect! As a 40-something couple from the US, we wanted to elope somewhere other than Las Vegas. We appreciated from the initial contact, and every inquiry after, communication was timely and informative. YH&M is very customer oriented and provided helpful, detailed information. They made the process simple and stress-free. Thank you Rebecca for keeping us informed and up to date! We purchased the Elopement & Photography package. Shawn Miller was our officiant and he was excellent. Shawn was effervescent and hospitable. Our guests appreciated Shawn spoke loudly so all could hear the ceremony and feel part of the experience. Our ceremony was meaningful, yet simple, which is exactly what we wanted. Our photographs were taken by Clint Bargen and they came out amazing! Our experience with Young Hip & Married was excellent! I wouldn’t change a thing.

What a great experience. Shawn arrived early and took charge of organizing our crew. Everything went better than we expected. Highly recommend!!

Our wedding was incredibly atypical, and had a lot of factors to it most hired pros don’t appreciate having to arrange: early rising, considerable amounts of travel, an overall lack of traditional applications and at least 20% more emus than your usual venue. Shawn and Erica Miller committed to all of our needs with zero hesitation. While others said we were expecting too much or getting too eclectic, Y, H and M reassured us that this was our day and we should be able to design it however we wish. They did something very crucial few do for young couples planning their wedding: they listened. The officiating script was thoughtful and romantic, our photographer was excellent at directing us and incorporating our personal touches, and together they were a delightful, dedicated team who truly brought out every detail we wished to see shine on our biggest day. If your wedding plans stray from the more orthodox ways (or even if they don’t!), we highly recommend Young, Hip and Married. Your special day will be as beautiful and creative as you imagined with them on your side.

We had Randy as our officiant at Young Hip and Married, and he was absolutely amazing! We had quite a fusion wedding and ceremony, (western and Indian) and Randy was so amazing and helping us bring our cultures together in our ceremony. He has so many amazing ideas, and really helped us plan out our ceremony. Everyone at our wedding gave us compliments on our ceremony saying it was heartfelt and romantic, as well as light and fun, which is what we wanted! He is completely capable to create any ceremony you want! Randy was such a great person to work with, and I would recommend him, and Young Hip and Married to anyone getting married! Thank you again, Randy!

We had the pleasure of having Stephen as our officiant. He enthusiastically agreed to our adventure mountaintop elopement idea and was easy-going through all the last minute location and weather uncertainties. He prepared the perfect ceremony for us; joyous, genuine, and heartfelt.

Our two witnesses felt he was incredibly personable and authentic too. We loved his warm and vibrant energy. He made all of us feel so comfortable on the hike up. Stephen even included my guests’ names and some snippets of our personal stories that he heard on the way up into the ceremony. It was more magical than I ever imagined. I could not have hoped for a better human than Stephen to officiate our wedding and share our love story with.

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!

We truly felt you captured Dave and I as a couple during our ceremony. It was an amazing day and we are so happy that we had you as our officiant!

Young Hip & Married was amazing from the start to finish. We went with the elopement/photography package and it was perfect. We eloped in West Vancouver at Whytecliff Park; had Shawn & Erica Miller as our officiant/photographer. They are both extremely professional, friendly & HIP! They made our day very special, laid back, but most of all- they customized it to exactly what we wanted for our special day. Wouldn’t change one thing about our wedding day & highly recommend this company!!!

So easy, so good! The Team was great. From first email inquiry to follow ups after the service. With Young Hip and Married’s help, we were able to elope within three days. Jane was amazing and very understanding of what we wanted. Thank you again for all the help and advice.

Great service, professional and personable – would recommend!

Best option for elopement! We decided to elope before I can start working again so we decided to hire Young Hip and Married and get their wedding plus photography package. One of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. Despite the busy popular summer wedding months, they were able to respond to my questions in a timely manner. All my questions and concerns where answered. Our officiant Jane was lovely with great tips on how to make your own vows and our photographer Erica Miller was so sweet and patient with us. If you want a hassle-free elopement with photographs to remember your wedding, I highly recommend getting the services of Young Hip and Married. They provide officiants and great photographers.

Young Hip & Married offers you a choice of officiants and you are able to watch videos recorded by each of the officiants to get a feel for them. I loved this because I was really looking for something unique and different and we were SO pleased with our officiant Lani Brunn. I had so many people tell me how wonderful and personal they thought the ceremony was and what an amazing officiant we had. Lani is amazing and such a lovely and genuine person, she is a goddess!!!

Jane was our officiant for our intercultural wedding. She helped us craft our ceremony from scratch, and she was very dedicated and knowledgeable. We ended up having the best ceremony, with 3 different cultures incorporated.

I highly recommend Jane to any couples who want to get married. She is very fun, detailed and also she set up a call to get to know us better.

Cory Dueck of Young, Hip, and Married was amazing to work with. My husband and I agree that one of the main vendors you must feel comfortable with is your officiant, because they are the ones who will share your story, your relationship – and that means you have to be able to be vulnerable with them. Cory made us feel incredibly comfortable to share our story with him and we trusted him from the start. He’s warm, funny, and engaged. He listened to what our vision was for our ceremony and he gave us great advice and suggestions on how we can make our vision a reality. On our wedding day, there was not a dry eye in the house. He relayed our story beautifully – with the perfect balance of funny, sweet and endearing. We cannot be happier with having Cory officiate our wedding and be a part of our forever memories. – Shima & José

So easy and accommodating. The perfect people to help us with our elopement and have little to no stress doing so. I highly recommend their services.

Lonnie from Young Hip & Married was a phenomenal addition to our perfect day. We felt like we were being married by a close friend. He guided us through the storytelling parts of our wedding and made us feel at ease with the decision making that comes with writing (turns out vows are kind of a big deal!). We’d recommend him in a heart beat. Thanks for being there for us!

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.

We had Beth as our officiant for our wedding this summer. She was fabulous! We met her at a coffee shop to see if it was a right fit for us and she was. Beth was very communicative via email and she was very flexible with our rehearsal. She prepared a fantastic ceremony based on our survey responses and responses from our friends. We received many compliments on our ceremony. We highly recommend Beth and the team!

Thank you for having made Kevin and Kristy Hatch’s wedding so safe, relaxed, meaningful and fun.  Your energy was lovely – very calming, comforting and authentic.  I am so glad they chose you.  Thank you for your presence and your wonderful way of being.  You made a hugely important event to me (and to them) absolutely wonderful in every way.  And how you handled the forgetting of the marriage licence was just so kind and flexible and caring.  You have certainly found your calling in life, Cory.  Thanks again, from the bottom of my heart.

We had a wonderful experience with Beth; she helped us find the right spot and put us at ease. She was responsive to our needs and helped make our day special and fun. Our two witnesses who were in attendance were so impressed that they would like Beth to be an officiant for their civil ceremony.

My husband and I are seat-of-my-pants planners and our wedding was no different. We woke up Sunday morning and decided to elope the following weekend. YH&M came through! They were responsive, easy to work with and definitely made having the actual ceremony easy. We just had to contact them, pick a time and we were set for the next week. Picking a restaurant to eat at after was harder to plan than our ceremony.

Jonathan!  Thank you so very much for every contribution to our incredible day.  It was a dream and everything we wanted.  Truly was so perfect.  The location, the timing, the ceremony, the whole morning, and day.  Loved it.

Young Hip and Married made things so easy for me and my husband. We reached out pretty last minute for an elopement with photography and they made it happen. The officiant Jordan Shaw was responsive and receptive to the kind of ceremony we wanted. The photographer Jade Mutter took amazing photos that captured our best moments. The day was seamless with YHM’s help so my husband and I could focus on each other.

Wow. Randy was amazing!!! We surprised our parents with an elopement and Randy (who we had never met before) became our newest family member! He showed such compassion, generosity and thoughtfulness throughout the whole process – we honestly could not have asked for a better experience. We had no idea but Randy captured each of the surprises on video and sent them to us! Such valuable memories to have! Randy is a lovely human being and definitely THE person you want to officiate your wedding!

We had a small wedding ceremony in Calgary, and it was a great experience. Rich was our officiant and he was really helpful throughout the whole process. We had a phone conversation early on and he made sure I had all the information needed. The ceremony was quick and easy, and tailored to us. Young, Hip & Married was simple, affordable, and our officiant was easy-going, but still professional.

Great experience! The process was easy and our officiant Lise was awesome.

Jef was fantastic! We couldn’t be happier with how our ceremony turned out. Jef and YH&M were professional, organized, and took the time to personalize our ceremony.

Very professional, such an amazing time, everything was so easy. Thank you!!
Lunaris Valencia family now ❤️

Jane was an absolute joy to work with. On the day of the wedding, she made us feel reassured throughout the day by being capable, clear and made us laugh at the right times to ease our nerves. The service was everything we defined at the beginning–short, fun and meaningful. We also did pre-marriage counseling with her, which I recommend doing. Our sessions brought a couple things to light that were helpful to talk through before our big day. Jane is a smart, funny, all around wonderful person whose intuitive nature makes her the perfect person to officiate your wedding.

Shawn Miller crafted an amazing ceremony for my wife and I and he was incredible to work with throughout the entire process!

Kadee was everything a couple wants in an officiant. She was organized, warm, receptive, flexible, punctual and professional at every turn. Our wedding ceremony went smoothly and exactly as we wished. We would highly recommend Kadee to other couples looking for a wedding officiant.

Shawn Miller was the officiant at my brother’s wedding as well as a good friend’s wedding about 5 years ago; his charisma and style left a lasting impression on my now husband and I. While planning our wedding years later, we had the pleasure of attending quite a few weddings, so we kept our eyes open for a great officiant but none could compare to Shawn that we had seen years ago. When we met with him the first time, he made us feel relaxed and comfortable; it was an easy choice. He took the time to get to know us and craft a ceremony that felt personal to the both of us. Furthermore, he offered us both help with writing our vows. Shawn did not disappoint; our ceremony was amazing and we had numerous people ask us how we found him! We would highly recommend his services; you won’t regret it!!

We had an amazing personalized ceremony that our guests couldn’t stop commenting on! The team at Young Hip and Married has great communication and easy to follow steps making it well worth the price!

We decided to have a very small intimate wedding ceremony with just us, our son and our parents. We opted for Young Hip and Married because we wanted a relaxed ceremony that had some life to it and was fun. We got exactly this. Our officiant was Cory and he exceeded our expectations. After watching his intro video we really liked his energy and after meeting him in person we realized he truly has a genuine love for being a part of marrying couples. We are a little quirky and shared with Cory in advance the sarcastic poems that we had written for one another. We were in awe when Cory had taken what he had learned about us and wrote a funny poem about us which he recited at our ceremony. It was perfectly attuned with our sense of humour and a wonderful addition to our night. He was genuinely interested in learning about our family and taking the time to make sure everything was perfect and relaxed just as we had envisioned. We really couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. Thanks Cory!

We had a fantastic lovely experience working with Beth from Young Hip & Married. We are a queer couple getting married, and we wanted a wedding officiant who would make this wedding special and ensure that our story is told well. Beth was nothing short of amazing, and it was such a smooth and wonderful process. We are thankful she told our love story to our best friends. I recommend her, and Young Hip & Married, wholeheartedly.

Young Hip and Married made everything so easy for us and they are so flexible and understanding with the needs that we had for our wedding. They made sure every detail was perfect; they provided us with a list of people for the things that we needed to help us see who we felt more comfortable with, who was sending us the vibe that we wanted for our elopement and of course all them very professional. They made sure that the vision we had for our wedding came true, always keeping up to date with everything. During the pandemic, they made it so much easier by being extremely comprehensive with the situation and managed to give us that beautiful experience with all the precautions, keeping us and everyone involved safe. The team that worked with us was so amazing, had the energy we were looking for, very enthusiastic on the adventure that we planned and very happy to share it with us. We had the experience working with them and so extremely thankful for making our day so special and amazing.

Jodi was an absolute delight!!! The best of the best!!! Don’t hesitate, JUST BOOK!!!

Amanda did a great job with our ceremony. Friendly, professional and beautiful words. Thanks for making our day happen!

We had originally booked with Shawn but due to a scheduling conflict, Randy stepped in and took over as our officiant. We feel like we lucked out because HE IS AMAZING!! From our first initial meeting with him, to the very last moments right before our ceremony, Randy was there every step of the way. What we really noticed about Randy was that he loves what he does, and he just happens to be amazing at it too! Bonus! Randy took the time to create the ceremony we wanted. He even reached out to our close friends and family to get inside jokes and stories about us. Our ceremony reflected us and although there were lots of tears, there were equally as many laughs which is exactly how we pictured our ceremony. We really feel like he went over and beyond and we still get compliments from our guests about Randy and how awesome he was. On top of creating and executing the perfect ceremony for us, we did a coaching session with him which we would highly recommend, either before or after marriage. We both went in open-minded and felt really comfortable. So glad we took the time to meet with him and do this. He has a calm nature, and is a great listener and very easy to talk to. He provided great suggestions for making and keeping our marriage strong. We would be happy to have sessions with him in the future as well. We’re over the moon happy that we had him as our officiant!

I’m so glad I reached out to Young Hip & Married. They made the whole process very simple and hassle free. Our wedding officiant was Erika and she was so nice to work with. Highly recommended!

Gerry Hiebert did a wonderful job officiating our wedding. He was extremely helpful with his suggestions on how the ceremony could flow. He listened to the things that we had requested be put in the ceremony and you could tell he had much wisdom in the area of weddings.

Nicole and I were blessed to have someone so experienced as Gerry marry us. He’s kind-hearted and funny and (most importantly, haha) he stepped off to the side for our first kiss so the photographer didn’t get him in the shot. You can easily tell his heart’s desire is for the couple and the families celebrating to have a good time together.

WOW! Professional, personalized, individualized, and exactly what you want during your ceremony.

Our wesding officiant, Erika, started with meeting with us. Then she emailed us with a questionnaire to make a personalized script for the ceremony. Not only was it amazing, but she even reached out to the wedding party to gather some words for the ceremony too.

On the day of, Erika was spot on with presentation and keeping to schedule. She was even flexible with my request for a certain song to be played as the ceremony was coming to a close. Flexible, check!

And if you are asking for price? Absolutely it was affordable. It is based on what you are looking for and how much time you will take. I would recommend Young Hip & Married over the government officiants anyday.

Thank you, Erika. You made it a ceremony that guests were raving about and a ceremony that they listened to every word of.

My fiancé and I were planning to elope and we were in search of an officiant and photographer in Vancouver. I stumbled across YH&M on the internet and they seemed the perfect fit. We wanted a simple, sweet ceremony sans religious overtones. We hoped to find someone that would reflect our sensibilities -creative/contemporary/cool. Shawn and his wife Erica were perfect!! Since we are from California & unfamiliar with Vancouver, they were extremely helpful in finding where we could procure our marriage license close to the hotel. They were also flexible about our location and allowed us to confirm within 24 hours of the scheduled ceremony. We wanted to visit the site we had chosen via pictures to be certain it was exactly what we wanted. They were on site prior to our scheduled time and ready to go as soon as we were. It was so nice to finally meet them in person after communicating with them via emails. We couldn’t have felt more comfortable! Our ceremony went off without a hitch- we managed to get a couple bicyclists to be witnesses 🙂 Erica stayed with us after the ceremony and we took loads of pictures. She couldn’t be nicer and really put us at ease. We got some great pictures out of the experience that we are free to use as desired. We both felt the value for the service was incredible. We were extremely happy with the entire experience with them, and would highly recommend their services to anyone!!

Thank you to Anthony for being part of one of the most important days of our lives. He helped make our wedding day beautiful and memorable with his genuine, personable, and peaceful presence.

It was truly the most incredible and best experience ever having YH&M help us create our elopement ceremony in Toronto! Truly a brilliant company, exceptional service, and special thanks to our rockstar officiant, Jonathan Manafo!!! The best on every level! THANK YOU!!!!

We wanted to sincerely thank you for the amazing job you did officiating our wedding. You were charming (all the guests who chatted with you before the ceremony loved you and wanted to be friends with you), beautifully dressed (that suit!), and your delivery of the ceremony was warm and genuine. My mother, who criticizes everyone on their public speaking skills, was extremely impressed by your delivery and how well you enunciated!

Thanks again so very much for everything. You were so wonderful to work with, so cheerful and flexible and cool, and you did an absolutely bang-up job on the day of.

YHM were wonderful to work with and were great at rolling with the punches when our wedding dates and details were altered by COVID-19. Peter La Grand was our officiant and he was really awesome, a great listener, and did a great job writing a unique script for himself at the ceremony that honoured our history and requests.

We can’t begin to explain how truly amazing every aspect of our helicopter elopement was. Young Hip & Married were incredibly helpful, accommodating and responded promptly. We were ecstatic to have Shawn as our officiant and Erica as our photographer. They were both very personable. Thank you Shawn and Erica for making our day so special and for being such sweethearts! We couldn’t have been happier with our decision! Truly top notch, highly recommend!

From the first virtual meeting with Erika Enns we had an awesome connection and tons of fun laughing. Erika made the whole ceremony clear and easy to understand (for us newbs who had no idea what we were doing). The personalized ceremony and her lovely personality really helped us feel at ease on the Big Day and we were very confident walking down the aisle <3 Young Hip and Married is a fantastic company and Erika is amazing!

We had an amazing experience with Young Hip and Married. We had Shawn Miller as our officiant, and we couldn’t be happier! He was kind, personable, communicative and attentive. YHM created a unique ceremony tailored to our personalities and hobbies, and Shawn did an amazing job telling “our story”. Our ceremony was funny, entertaining, romantic all in one, and people thought that Shawn had known us for years! It wasn’t the “boring” ceremony you hear at weddings, and I love that he gave us a script and asked us questions along the way. I love the fact that we also have a copy of it; I will print it out and put it in a wedding book 🙂 If you are thinking of hiring YHM for your wedding, DO IT! You won’t regret it! Thank you so so much Shawn 🙂

The best decision I have ever made was to get married. The second best decision ever was using Young Hip and Married. Erica, Shawn, and staff were all very helpful, efficient, and super friendly. Needs felt like they were matched above and beyond. Communication was usually within 2 days if not prompt. Highly suggested service, with A+ photography. Well worth it for couples of any age getting married. Thank you for everything guys; the wife and I are really happy.

Jef was awesome! He made the ceremony reverent and put in a funny twist to lighten the ceremony. We would highly recommend him.

Exceeded expectations. It genuinely felt like we were the most important couple that were working with, and the care, and the extra touches and input they added made our day that much more special. Our officiant Lise put so much time and effort into our ceremony, spending the time to get to know us, and what was important to us, she really tailored everything to us so well. Will happily recommend.

Our officiant was Erika and she was exceptional. She tailored our ceremony to fit us just perfectly and ran it exactly how both myself and my husband wanted.

Our wedding day was such a special, memorable day for us. I don’t think either of us has every been so happy! Thank you so much for making the ceremony what it was. It was perfectly us and exactly what we had hoped for. – Matt & Marina

Our officiant, Shawn, was so supportive and inspiring leading up to and during our elopement! He made our ceremony so fun and easy going! Until today all of our guests keep commenting on how much they enjoyed Shawn’s words and the energy he brought into our special day! Thank you so much again!!! My husband and I would highly recommend this organization to anyone getting married! You won’t regret it 🙂

We heard about Young Hip and Married from friends of ours who used their services when they got married. Lonnie was the officiant for our 10 person wedding, and he was great! He provided us with his script for the ceremony, and requested our feedback and approval, which was nice. Communication was always quick and clear, and he was very responsive to any request we had!

We asked that he step aside when we were saying our vows, and also for our first kiss as man and wife, and he had no problem doing so. This was nice, because we have lovely photos of these moments with us my husband and I. The package we purchased also included a free vow writing course, and it was incredibly helpful! I’m really proud of the vows I wrote, and the course made it so easy! I definitely recommend Young Hip and Married!

We got connected with Rich through YH&M and we could not have asked for a more fun and awesome person to officiate our wedding. He had some amazing ideas for our ceremony, as we wanted to keep it really casual, but also wanted something a bit different, and he delivered exactly that, coming up with some amazing and out of the box ideas for our short ceremony. Even our wedding coordinator made a point of calling me the day after the wedding and commenting on how amazing of a job she felt Rich did, as it was her first time working with him. He also was extremely flexible and rolled with the punches when my husband and I FORGOT OUR MARRIAGE LICENCE AT THE HOTEL. Luckily, he stuck around after the ceremony while someone ran to grab it for us. Rich helped make our wedding day so amazingly special, and we would not hesitate to ask him to officiate again if we could do it all over.

Our wedding was truly the best day of our lives – and Young Hip and Married was a huge part of that. We knew Stephen Anderson was the officiant for us immediately during our initial call when he expressed his passion for sharing couples love stories and understood our vision for a ceremony with emotion and also lots of laughter.

Without a doubt our custom ceremony was our favourite part of the day, and we still have our guests commenting on how it was theirs as well. We will forever treasure the beautiful ceremony Stephen wrote for us and cannot thank him enough for making our dream day a reality. If you are debating a custom ceremony – do not think any longer!! It is sooo worth it! And Stephen is AMAZING and we have no doubt would be a worthwhile addition to any other couple’s wedding day.

We were married on Sept 1, 2018 at 3 Sisters Winery in Penticton and Randy officiated our wedding. The ceremony could not have been better. The crowd was really engaged the whole time and we had several guests tell us how wonderful the ceremony, and in particular the officiant, was. He really personalized the ceremony by reaching out to family and friends beforehand and he had both of us, bride and groom, relaxed and laughing during the ceremony. We would 100% recommend Randy to anyone looking for an officiant.

Thank you so much for officiating our wedding. We were so happy with your service and glad you were a part of our special day!!

We couldn’t be any happier with Young Hip and Married. Me and my husband got married September 17,2022. We met with Erika Enns prior to our wedding for a free consult. She was so sweet and friendly and asked all the right questions. We instantly knew we needed her for our officiant. She even came to our wedding rehearsal.

Our ceremony was absolutely perfect. She made it so personal, we got so many compliments on how beautiful the ceremony was. We are both so happy with Erika and so grateful for the service she provided us – thank you again, Erika! We would recommend Young Hip and Married to any couple looking for an officiant.

It was so easy to coordinate our elopement ceremony with YH&M. We reached out via email about a month beforehand, told them our date, and we were good to go. They also sourced a photographer for us. We were able to communicate easily with our office contact at YH&M, our officiant (Jane, who was awesome!), and our photographer (Emily, who was also awesome!). All were helpful and professional. It was very affordable as well. Also, since we were eloping, it gave us peace of mind to know we could rely on them to understand any legal components of getting married in a country outside our residence. Thanks, YH&M!

These guys were amazing from the start. Very professional and accommodating when we changed our location. Our officiant, Rhona, was so lovely and really helped to make our wedding a great day. I’m so impressed with how professional this company is.

These guys were amazing from start to finish. Thank you!

What an incredible ceremony! Bobbi truly made our ceremony unique, fun and fabulous. Would not have changed a thing!!

My wife and I could not be happier with our experience with Young Hip and Married. Everyone involved was amazing, and were more than happy to help us accomplish our dream day. Our officiant, Peter, was unbelievable! It turned out we had a lot in common including some mutual acquaintances. He took the time to get to know us both personally and wrote us the most beautiful and personal ceremony. If we could give ten stars it wouldn’t be enough to express our gratitude to the YHM team. Blessings and gratitude to you all!

We had an issue with our original officiant not receiving our deposit and subsequently being booked. Young Hip & Married were able to book us in with relatively little notice and Lani our officiant was awesome. She met with both of us to get both our stories and viewpoints and customized our ceremony to fit exactly what we were looking for. Even though they were more expensive – Couldn’t recommend them more!

So happy with our decision to choose Young Hip & Married! Jodi was so nice and did such a great job and received many compliments from our family and guests about how much they thought so too! This was just what we needed – personable, good with us and managing our wedding party, and making our vows and ceremony suited just to us. Thank you!

My husband (hihi still new to this) and I had to plan our wedding in two weeks (gatherings were forbidden in Quebec because of Covid and we really wanted to get married on our anniversary date!). On top of being referred to us by a photographer, Young Hip & Married was at the top of the results when we searched for an officiant in Vancouver! That’s because they’re so great to deal with! Jane asked us for all the necessary information beforehand so that the ceremony itself would be a breeze and she provided us with a google doc that explained how the ceremony would go so that there are no surprises! Jane was very nice and professional! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

We had the best experience with them. They helped us to create the perfect wedding even during these difficult times. We are really grateful.

We had a trip planned to Canada from Kansas. We decided a couple weeks before our trip that we’d get married while we were visiting. Because of Young Hip & Married, it was easier than I ever though it would be! Everyone was fantastic to work with! Thanks again!!

Jane made the process very easy, fun and really reduced the stress that weddings can be. She was very understanding and even helped us correct errors we made. I’d highly recommend her services and can see why others have recommended her as well. All the best, Winhol and My Linh

We were told it’s not always possible to get what you want from your officiant but Young Hip & Married proved that wrong and gave us and our guests the exact experience we were hoping for! Our ceremony was non-traditional and it was refreshing to know with Chris-Ann and the team any and all options were on the table for our special day (with the caveat we include those all important elements which make the event legally binding). Thanks Young Hip & Married!!

Booking with Young Hip and Married was super easy. Rebecca was very communicative and responded to my million questions prior to booking. On the day of, Shalom was a joy to work with! We were running a bit behind schedule but Shalom made me feel relaxed and calm when the ceremony kicked off. Her script was perfect for our micro ceremony and it was exactly what we wanted for a wedding.

We had a great experience with Young, Hip & Married. Our officiant was great at keeping in communication. Our ceremony was exactly what we needed and wanted- simply, quick and easy. The whole team at YH&M were great!

Shawn Miller from Young Hip and Married was such a great guy all around, very patient and very punctual. Young Hip and Married made our magical day perfect. Shawn Miller, thank you so much on behalf of me and my beautiful wife!

Fantastic organization! Very fun and outside the box. Jane was very accommodating, warm, and professional. We loved our ceremony and her words for us. We felt very supported by Jane and the rest of the staff; we would highly recommend them for their services 🙂

Wedding made simple! Requests accommodated, professional and personable!

Perfect wedding! We worked with Beth and the entire process was flawless. She was very easy to work with and made the entire process as easy and seamless as possible. She was very accommodating to our needs. We definitely recommend her!

Shawn officiated our wedding ceremony and we were blessed with his bright and positive energy, as well as the depth of feeling in his words. He shared from his heart and touched everyone in a way that made us feel very connected to each other and to the land on which we were married. We have so much gratitude for having Shawn and his beautiful wife Erica be a part of our special day – many thanks now and forever!

Kristen, we wanted to thank you so much for making our wedding ceremony so meaningful.  You made the entire process enjoyable and we have received so many compliments on our fabulous officiant!

Our wedding was amazing, made only more amazing by Cory Dueck! He was so helpful in the days leading up to the big day, which calmed both of our nerves greatly. Cory delivered perfectly during the ceremony! He really encompassed both of our personalities and our sense of humour. I would recommend anyone to use YH&M. 10/10

Daniel from Young Hip and Married is an absolute gem of a wedding officiant! His ability to blend sincerity with a modern, hip vibe made our ceremony unforgettable. From our initial meeting to the big day, Daniel’s warmth and professionalism shone through. He crafted a ceremony that felt uniquely “us,” and his delivery was the perfect blend of eloquence and charm. If you’re looking for an officiant who brings a fresh and genuine touch to your wedding, look no further than Daniel. Thanks for making our day so special!

Thank you Shawn for the amazing elopement ceremony! Damian and I couldn’t have asked for a more heartfelt and romantic day. You attention to detail while weaving pieces of the two of us into our ceremony was amazing and very personal! We can’t recommend you enough!

Young Hip and Married was amazing to work with! We did an elopement with photography package and got to work with Shawn as our officiant and Erica for the photos! The YH&M staff were quick to answer all our questions and very understanding during covid times when we had to change our wedding date last minute. The notes sent to us by Shawn before the wedding date were so helpful and relieved any and all stress because we knew exactly what the expect on our special day.

Our officiant, Charlie, was absolutely the best! Charlie came in super friendly and fit right in with our group. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to be a part of our special day. Thanks YH&M and huge huge huge thanks to Charlie!

YH&M: The best in the industry!

Shawn was incredible to work with and we cannot recommend him and Young Hip & Married enough! Shawn was the very first vendor we booked (about a year and a half in advance) before a dress, flowers, coordinator, or anything else. I had seen him in action at another wedding and knew he was the perfect person to marry us. Right from our initial meeting, Shawn made us so at ease and we felt like old friends just catching up over donuts at Cartems. He took real time to get to know us and ask meaningful questions. The process leading up to the wedding was fun and easy.

Shawn walked us through our rehearsal and calmed our nerves. On the day of the wedding, the ceremony he delivered for us was personalized, eloquent, meaningful, romantic, lighthearted, and fun all at once. It perfectly captured the essence of “us” in a way that even we couldn’t have put into words.

Our guests were also blown away! We had more than a few people ask us how long we had known each other, thinking that we were lifelong friends since he captured us and our story so well. My personal favourite comment from a guest was “his voice spoke to my soul.” Shawn indeed has a unique brand of gravitas mixed with humour, authenticity, and a genuine love for LOVE!

Shawn, we cannot thank you enough for the beauty and laughs you brought to our day. THANK YOU!

Shawn officiated our wedding and we couldn’t be more thrilled. We had chosen to go with YHM due to the wide selection of officiants to choose from, and we found one that suited the theme/vibe we were going for. Unfortunately, a few months before the wedding, something came up and the officiant we chose was unable to do our wedding. We were disappointed and wondering whether we had made a mistake (spoiler alert – we hadn’t). Shawn reached out to us immediately, apologized, and offered to find a suitable replacement, or officiate our wedding himself. At first we were apprehensive as we really connected with our original choice, but Shawn met with us in person and quickly put us at ease that everything would only be done with our approval of the finished product/script. From that point forward, Shawn worked very closely with us and our feedback, and we went through various iterations of our final wedding ceremony. He even helped us with our vows. On the day, Shawn delivered in spades – A true pro. He was very well prepared, without sounding too rehearsed, and he struck the right tone that we were going for. We received several compliments from guests after the ceremony on how awesome the officiating was – Authentic, sweet, and engaging, while keeping the focus squarely on the bride and groom. Things went perfectly and we couldn’t be happier – Thanks Shawn for saving the day and making our wedding a huge success!

We had the honor of being wedded by Chris-Ann Lake. They were very responsive and is probably the best communicator via email I’ve ever had the honor to interact with.

The words that they shared with our guests were so beautiful and helped make our wedding day better than we ever could have imagined.

We just want to thank you for making it so easy for us to get married!  Jane, thank you for the tips and and the short but meaningful ceremony!  Without you, we won’t be married legally (literally)! Erica, thank you for being patient with us.  I know it’s an elopement but thank you for putting up with our antics.  The location you suggested was so beautiful and serene!  Now we can always go back there and remember.

You both were very lovely and welcoming.  Everyone felt comfortable and happy.   My husband who is very shy was raving about how great you guys were and he doesn’t  even do that with me! Thank you Young Hip and Married for making my elopement possible!  Despite the busy season, communicating was easy and all my questions were answered fast. Again, thank you!

Nothing but love for Young Hip and Married. We thoroughly enjoyed our ceremony and appreciate them for making our day so special!!

Jane was amazing. Throughout the whole process she was a treat to work with and really added to our perfect day.

Jane Halton officiated our wedding this past weekend and we could not have asked for a better experience! Our guests had nothing but compliments after the ceremony and loved the unique personality and casual nature of the event. Having the chance to meet with her in advance of the ceremony helped us feel comfortable that she would create a customized ceremony that fit our personalities and style. She also took care of our rehearsal, ensuring our entire wedding party was up to speed on the process and gave us a chance to review everything before the day. We’d highly recommend Jane and Young, Hip & Married to anyone looking for an excellent, highly personal wedding experience.

My new husband and I were SO grateful to have Cory as our officiant on our big day. On top of being incredibly professional, he has a warm/welcoming demeanor and had endless amazing ideas of how to make our ceremony personal and unique (all of which our guests loved). Many of our guests told us that the ceremony was the highlight of the day, and much of this we have to credit to Cory. We can’t thank Cory enough!

Was a fantastic pleasure working with everyone to make our day great! Couldn’t of asked for better! 10 out of 10

Erika was incredible, welcoming and attentive to our needs. She really rounded out our ceremony well! Everyone loved her!!

Huge shoutout to Peter at Young Hip & Married for officiating our wedding on August 8, 2020! He did an amazing job communicating ahead of time with us, and during our ceremony, was very professional and polite. I actually can’t think of any one specific thing that didn’t go as we expected. Would not hesitate to recommend Young Hip & Married to anybody, and know that your experience will be memorable in the most positive way possible! Thanks Peter, for exceeding our expectations and being awesome at what you do.

Our intimate elopement experience with Young Hip & Married could not have been better. It was superb. All arrangements were made over email and were smooth and flawless.

Our officiant, Charlie, was warm and charming, and had a great sense of humour. She had perfect vows for us, and laughed along with us through the ceremony.

Our photographer Jade took AMAZING photos. All our friends and family have been raving about how they look like something out of an amazing movie scene.

Both of them went ahead of time to find the odd spot we had chosen for the ceremony, and we so appreciate it.

I would highly recommend Young, Hip and Married. Having been to a ceremony by this company in Vancouver, I was so happy to see that they had expanded to Ontario. Mark Groleau was wonderful to work with from our first meeting to our wedding day. Our guests all raved about our ceremony; he managed to tell our story such that it was sentimental, lighthearted and entertaining — just what we had hoped for. We will look back on it and smile for years to come, and hope to see him at some of our friends’ weddings in the future (they are definitely all asking who did the ceremony!).

My partner and I loved our elopement-style wedding! We had a destination wedding the following week, but wanted something short and sweet for the legal ceremony in Vancouver. Every aspect of working with Young Hip & Married was a breeze! Their website was clear, easy to navigate, and had helpful tips. After we filled out the questionnaire, we received a response within the day, were able to secure a time and location within the following day, and heard from our officiant immediately. Planning our wedding has involved many vendors that have been unreliable, so I can tell you that when our officiant arrived early on the day of the ceremony and things went exactly as we expected, we couldn’t have been happier! All of our friends and family also remarked at how pleasant and seamless the ceremony was.

Excellent company to work with. Jane conducted our ceremony and she was perfect. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

A ceremony well-delivered! Kadee was exactly what we were looking for in a wedding officiant.
She managed to strike the perfect balance of humor and sincerity. Our ceremony felt personal and intimate, even though we had only met Kadee that day. A ceremony well-delivered. Thank you!

Positive and warm people who will tailor your wedding day to however you want. Shawn and Erica were so great in making us feel comfortable, excited and special on our wedding day.

We booked the Helicopter Elopement Package through Young Hip & Married 8 months prior to our wedding day. Kadee was our wedding officiant and reached out to us instantly. Kadee was everything we wanted. Kadee really took the time to get to know myself and my husband and by doing that she wrote us the perfect vows. I remember the first time I read the vows I was blown away; they were perfect and we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you Kadee for getting to know us; it made our special day that much more special. Thank you Young Hip & Married for making our Helicopter Elopement one of the best days of our lives! It was absolutely perfect. Your staff are amazing and we couldn’t have asked for better people to be a part of our special day.

Beth Carlson-Malena was a joy to work with as the officiant for our wedding ceremony. We wanted a small, simple wedding and she helped guide us through the process, giving us great suggestions, which resulted in a ceremony that was perfectly suited to us. She is personable and very easy to talk and relate to. Our wedding celebration was lovely and she helped make our day extra special with her warmth and professionalism. We would highly recommend her.

Beth Carlson-Malena was our wedding officiant in May 2022. She made us feel at ease in our initial meeting, and put together the ceremony of our dreams. Our friends and family cannot stop raving about the ceremony, how much it felt like us, and how much they enjoyed Beth herself.

One of the best choices we made for our wedding was booking Shawn! He was absolutely phenomenal!!! He created an incredible ceremony for us – it was unique and fit us perfectly. Not only were we blown away by him but all of our guests spoke so highly of the ceremony! We highly recommend Shawn to anyone considering Young Hip & Married for their wedding!

Really easy and Stephen A. was amazing. We were looking for a very intimate and personal ceremony and he delivered. The whole process was great. I would certainly recommend!

Jane was the perfect officiant for our wedding! She was super helpful in guiding us to write our vows and fit the wording of the ceremony to suit us. She had the perfect balance of humour and romance and especially important to us, was very inclusive in her language. We’ve already recommended her to other recently engaged couples and will continue to do so!

We had Lani as our officiant and couldn’t have been happier. She walked us through the process over coffee, taking lots of our input along the way and asking lots of questions about our story. Having her at our rehearsal was a huge help; I don’t think we would have gotten half as organized without her. On the day itself, she was professional, funny, and engaging – our guests loved her as much as we did. Thank you Lani and YHM!

Shawn made everything go smoothly on our day. He calmed our nerves, helped us with our ceremony and vows. It was worth every penny to have him! We couldn’t be happier with the communication we had from day one. I highly recommend Shawn and this company.

Jodi officiated our wedding at Fraser River Lodge in Agassiz and from first contact to saying goodbye at the end of our wedding day, she was amazing. I would highly recommend YH&M to anyone planning their wedding. Jodi really took the time to get to know us and make the ceremony special and unique to our style. Don’t balk at the price; they’re worth every penny.

We worked with officiant Jane Halton through YH&M and we’re so happy we did! From our first meeting with Jane, she was lovely to work with. She wrote a ceremony customized for us. When COVID hit and we had to postpone, she was flexible and supportive through a variety of revisions of the plan with frequently changing restrictions. Overall we couldn’t have been happier to have Jane officiate for us on our special day!

Erika was spectacular to work with as our wedding officiant. She is kind and friendly and helped us create the wedding ceremony of our dreams! Intimate and sentimental, with a hint of humour to take the edge off. Thank you so much for being so incredible to work with!

My wife and I were so happy with Young Hip & Married. We unfortunately had to cancel our first venue and move the wedding. YHM were so accommodating and provided us with Randy Hamm to fit the change. We met with Randy and he really made the effort to get to know us and contacted our family and friends. He was able to put together a unique ceremony specific to my wife and I, filled with references from our favourite movies and lifestyle. Thanks so much YHM for the the best day ever!

Very easy to coordinate with, quick responses. Shawn was great on the wedding day. Great ceremony with lots of positive energy.
