Young Hip & Married Officiant Erika Enns officiating a ceremony

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

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

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

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!

Erika 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!

Sea to Sky wedding with Young Hip & Married

We worked with Erika from YH&M for our wedding at Camp Fircom. 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.

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. 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!

Anne & Angelo with Erika during their helicopter elopement by Candice Marie Photography

WOW! Professional, personalized, individualized, and exactly what you want during your ceremony. Our wedding 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's Story

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

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

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

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.

Redwoods Golf Course wedding ceremony with Young Hip & Married

Erika officiated our helicopter elopement and she was wonderful! She was super warm, caring, and fun. We appreciated how she took an interest in us as people, and that was a big part of what made our ceremony feel perfect.

The entire Young,Hip & Married team was excellent as well! Dayna was always very responsive and helpful and we felt supported the whole way through. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend YH&M to anyone seeking a unique elopement experience.

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!

Brix and Mortar wedding with young hip and married

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.

Officiant Erika leading a ceremony at Sea to Sky Gondola

YH&M made planning an elopement ceremony simple, effortless and collaborative. Connecting us to an officiant to meet our needs for location was important for my partner and I, and I cannot believe how many rejections we experienced looking on our own before YH&M. It made me believe that I was asking too much. But when chatting with the team, they ensured that we would be connected to the right person who would make our dreams come true.

After a slight compromise on location (after all where we originally wanted to get married was up a mountain), we were connected with our officiant Erika, who would be able to meet us in one of our most favourite locations; Golden Ears Park. Erika was attentive, inspiring and very open with our suggestions. She incorporated traditional vows and a Celtic handfasting ceremony for us, with the most beautiful words that put my partner and I to tears when we first read them.

Let me tell you, being able to review our ceremony script was such a relief- because it gave us the autonomy to collaborate instead of just accept our ceremony as a package deal. The amount of communication flowing between the YH&M team and us was beyond ideal. I will be recommending them to all my loved ones planning to get married in the future.
