Erika Enns (she/her/hers)

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

We can’t thank you enough for marrying us! You helped to make our special day so perfect and we’re so grateful to be married by you.

This whole experience from planning and communicating with you and YH&M, to getting married by you, has been so easy and we will definitely be recommending you and YH&M to all our friends and family! Everyone loved how intimate and perfect the ceremony was.

Thank you again for being such an important part of our wedding day!

In the past few years, I’ve been to a lot of weddings. They’ve all been beautiful, but none of the ceremonies felt like something I would want to have for my wedding. Young Hip & Married gave us the most amazing officiant, Erika, who blew us away with the way she was able to really understand us and blow us away with our customized ceremony! I would absolutely recommend them to every couple who wants their unique love story to be incorporated into their marriage ceremony.

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

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

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

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

We had an amazing experience with Young Hip and Married. We recently eloped to Vancouver in October 2023. The organization and selection of an officiant was managed by our elopement planner. We were matched with Erika Enns. We received the text for the ceremony early on in the process, giving us time to review it and adjust any wording we felt didn’t suit us. When we arrived to our ceremony location, Erika was already waiting for us. She was a lovely officiant, has a very calming presence and that’s exactly what you want on your big day! I would 1,000% recommend Erika for anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding. She is super nice, very helpful and just a pleasure to be around.

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!!

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

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.

My husband and I were lucky enough to work with Erika as our officiant. Her and the Young, Hip & Married team did such a good job with making the process run smoothly and were so helpful along the way. Erika came up with such a beautiful ceremony speech that was personalized and made it such a memorable moment in our special day to us and our guests.

Erika made the whole process so comfortable and natural for the both of us. Her communication with us from the very beginning all the way up to the wedding day was great. We feel very lucky to have had her as our officiant on our special day! We can’t thank you enough Erika!

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.

You truly made our day special and we really enjoyed working with you. Thanks so much. You will forever be part of our memories of this special day.

Thank you so much Erika (& the rest of the YHM team)!! Appreciate your flexibility and patience especially in this crazy time. Unreal service!! Again, from the bottom of our hearts…thank you!!! Appreciate it all.

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!

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

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.

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!

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!

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!

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

Our officiant Erika was on time, professional and very pleasant to talk to. She understood what we wanted really quickly and completed one of the most important pieces of the whole wedding perfectly. Would definitely recommend her.

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

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!!

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

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!

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!

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!

Thank you, Erika. You made our special day even more special with your kindness and professionalism.

Everything was excellent and Erika is a wonderful person. She made our special day more remarkable and memorable. Punctuality and professionalism but kindness and a lovely person celebrating. Thank you.

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

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!

Young Hip and Married was amazing in helping us plan a stress-free wedding ceremony in such a short period of time! The officiant and photographer team of Erika & Erica were so great and helped make our wedding day so effortlessly smooth! We are so grateful to the YH&M team 🙂 <3

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.

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!

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

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!!!!

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!

When we met in person with Erika at YH&M, we knew right away that she was who we wanted there on the big day. We were pleased with her communication, support, and most importantly her execution on the day. So many of our guests were commenting on how beautiful our ceremony was – Erika kept it short, sweet, and personal. She was a calming presence while standing up there and saying “I do”. Forever grateful.

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!

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

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.

by Emily Nicole Photos

Super easy folks to work with at YH&M! Erika married us this autumn, and Amber-Leigh was our photographer. It was a blast. We were laughing until we were in tears. Will highly recommend to anyone I know!

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!

We would highly recommend Young Hip & Married to anyone who is looking to elope in BC! Booking was a breeze, the team promptly responded to any questions we had and they were a delight to deal with. We are over the moon with the photos we have received so far, and we received our filed marriage certificate in a few weeks. Due to the weather, we had to change the location we were hoping to get married at multiple times on the day. Both Erica (photographer) and Erika (officiant) dealt with our last minute panic with a smile and showed nothing but professionalism. If you are looking to elope in BC, there isn’t any better option then YH&M… it is as simple as that 🙂

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

The Young Hip and Married team is fantastic. They are easy to communicate with and quick to respond. We were paired with Erika and she did an amazing job. She took the time to get to know us and she was open to all our suggestions. We had an small ceremony with family and close friends. Erika fit in perfectly and made our ceremony feel very personal and very us. Can’t recommend Erika and the Young Hip Married team enough.

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.

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

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

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

by Rhianna Mchardy of Urban Fig Photography

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!

Young Hip and Married was the icing on the cake for our day – they made it simple yet special from the first time I emailed them to the day of the ceremony! Would highly recommended them to anyone!

We were married by Erika Enns and we can’t thank her enough for marrying us! Erika helped to make our special day so perfect and we’re so grateful to be married by her.

Our whole experience from planning and communicating with Erika and YH&M, to getting married, has been so easy and we will definitely be recommending Erika and YH&M to all our friends and family! Everyone loved how intimate and close our ceremony was.

Erika, thank you again for being such an important part of our wedding day!

Thank you once again for being our marriage officiant! You made the whole process very easy for us, including the rest of the Young Hip & Married team.

by Amriks Photography

The best officiants there are. Erika at young hip and married captured our love story perfectly. I couldn’t think of a negative thing to say about the whole process leading up to the day, even if I tried. I couldn’t recommend young hip and married enough!!! If you’re lucky enough to snag Erika, you will be soooo happy with your ceremony.

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 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!

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.

Erika was incredible, welcoming and attentive to our needs. She really rounded out our ceremony well! Everyone loved her!!

by Adonia and Kevin Merritt at The Perfect Two Photography

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

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!

by Tara Lilly Photography

We cannot recommend YH&M enough, and in particular our absolutely amazing officiant Erika Enns. From the administration, to the owners, to our officiant, everyone was quick to respond, invested in our vision, and most importantly kind. We were one of the couples affected by the Sea to Sky Gondola, and they went above and beyond to ensure our officiant could make our new location for both our rehearsal and wedding. Our ceremony was personal and special, with all our guests saying it was the best they had seen!

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.”

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

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

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

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

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!

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.

YH&M was so great. The team was super helpful and supportive throughout the pandemic ups and downs, including numerous date changes. We took Shawn’s really beneficial vow writing course, and Erika, our officiant, was so lovely, organized, and helped create a beautiful ceremony. Can’t recommend them enough!

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

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 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.

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!

by Emma Culling Photography

These guys are the best! They know what great customer service is and they execute on it every single time. I got the rockin wedding package and they let me customize our ceremony 100%. Can’t say enough good things about these guys. I had Erika for my officiant. She’s just the loveliest person and is a truly talented officiant. I love the way she writes.

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!

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

Erika – 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.

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!!!

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

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

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

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!

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!

I hired Erika to be the officiant for our wedding day and she is AMAZING! We had to postpone our wedding 4 times due to Covid and every time she was available and very understanding. Her communication is great and response time is fast. I had my rehearsal the same day she had to officiate at another wedding and she was still able to make it on time for my rehearsal. I am so happy with this service and will recommend this company to anyone getting married.

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

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!

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!!

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

Erika made us feel really comfortable from the get go. She is real, understanding, and friendly. We felt like we could truly make the ceremony our own unique experience, and we were blown away with how it all came together. Erika was professional, efficient, and flexible from start to finish!
