Jane Halton (she/her)

I did my first wedding for two friends in 2002, followed by a myriad of cousins’ weddings and a few weddings for friends from my swim team.  When I first joined Young Hip and Married in 2013, I wasn’t sure if I would like doing weddings for ‘strangers.’ But it didn’t take long (one wedding!) for me to realize I love it.  Not to mention, by the time we are done planning a wedding ceremony together, we won’t feel like strangers.

I’ve done large fancy weddings in hotels, casual backyard ceremonies, sandy beachfront elopements and I’ve even canoed into a ceremony! The best thing about each of them is that they represented what the couple wanted.  I’d love to work with you to help create a ceremony you love.  Have no idea what you want? No problem!  Know exactly what you’d like? Speak right up. I’m listening.

I will be professional and calm (because most people are a bit nervous in front of everyone).  Whether you want a light-hearted and fun ceremony or something more romantic and serious, I’m happy to create what you desire.  I’d say my natural style is professional with a side of humor. You’ll be confident I know what I’m doing but I won’t steal the show.

Choosing a wedding officiant is a big deal!  We’ve all been to the long boring ceremony where the officiant reads the same script and clearly doesn’t know the couple. But I want to hear your story, what makes you tick and what your hopes are for your wedding ceremony.  

I’d love to get together for a chat and make sure you get all your questions answered.  Mainly, I want you to feel totally comfortable walking down the aisle toward me!  

I wear lots of hats here at Young Hip & Married. Not only am I an officiant, I hire and train all of the officiants and head up our pre-marriage/relationship coaching program. No two days are the same, just like no two couples are the same.

When I’m not marrying people, I love spending time with my husband and two boys. We enjoy going to the beach, making pizza and hanging out in our East Van neighbourhood.

Feel free to read some of my reviews below and ask as many questions as you’d like.

  • 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!

The entire process was so smooth with Young Hip and Married and we can’t thank Jane enough!!

    On their experience with Jane: Wonderful service. From the first time we contacted them, they were friendly and helpful, and quick with their responses. I was worried that I’d given too short notice for our wedding date, but they were very accommodating, even though I wasn’t sure about the exact time when I contacted them (even asked them for advice!). Booking with them was easy, and stress-free. Would definitely recommend!

  • My husband and I had been engaged for a couple of years and life kept getting in the way, so finally we decided enough already and just eloped with Young Hip and Married. I can’t say enough about how easy they made the process, from booking to sorting out details to putting together a ceremony that felt genuinely representative of us. Jane Halton was a fantastic officiant who incorporated our reading beautifully, kept everything on track and organized and on time, but allowed for our personalized touches and an informal feel at the same time. She was great at keeping in touch leading up to the day of, making sure we had all our details in place. Thanks again YH&M for making our day special and making everything so stress-free! Would definitely, highly, recommend.

    Christie & James
  • 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 🙂

    Michelle
  • 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!!!

    Andres & Rocio
  • The entire experience was fantastic. Jane was amazing and made our day incredible!

    Amanda & Drew

    Chantal & Taylor
  • When Brian and I got engaged, one of the first things we did was hire an officiant from YH&M. We watched all the video bios and chose Jane as our officiant for the big day!

    We wanted out ceremony to be light and fun, while also being sincere and heartfelt. Basically, we wanted it all! And boy, did Jane deliver! There were giggles & tears, with a side of nerdiness. It was perfect.

    Everyone that attended our ceremony was able to tell how much work Jane had put into actually getting to KNOW us. We’re proud and happy to say that our ceremony was not generic. It was unique, just like us! Star Wars references and all!

    We would recommend Young Hip and Married in a heartbeat! Words are not enough to express the magic that these people create! 🙂

    Mellie + Brian
  • Jane was kind, lovely, and gave us a great outline for our vows which we felt very comfortable with. She was also available on short notice which we really appreciated!

    Emily & Tyler
  • 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.

    Dan & Julie
  • 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

    Holly & Geoff
  • Our ceremony was the best part of our wedding day and that is all thanks to Young Hip & Married! Jane Halton officiated our ceremony and from start to finish, it was perfect. We booked Jane with only a month to go due to some covid changes and she immediately jumped into action. She wrote us a beautiful script that perfectly told our personal story and reflected all of our values. She was so open to changes. It was the perfect combination of allowing us to be creative and make our ceremony our own, while knowing that she was guiding us and everything was in her experienced and professional hands. Leading up to the wedding we also completed the Young Hip & Married vows course and it was incredibly helpful. We both wrote our own vows and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house!

    On the day, Jane showed up early and coordinated with us and our photographer. Immediately, she was a calming presence. Throughout the ceremony, we didn’t have to once worry about what Jane was going to say. And despite the fact that we had read the script, every word Jane said was so meaningful. Our guests loved her – so many guests, both in-person and on our live stream, raved about our officiant! Jane was the perfect mix of serious, sentimental and funny – exactly what we wanted! We always knew we wanted our ceremony to feel intimate, personal, meaningful and so us. And that is exactly what Jane and Young Hip & Married delivered!

    Colin & Riana
  • 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.

    Stefan & Stephanie
  • Young Hip and Married made our elopement super special! Rebecca sent us this amazing video message when we inquired about arranging our elopement that immediately connected us. Jane provided amazing resources which helped us prepare our vows and felt like she had known us for years. Clint was the photographer they helped to arrange and he was amazing. The photos he captured were perfect for us to commemorate the day and share with family. Despite the impact of the pandemic, the warmth, support, and follow-up by Young Hip & Married made our day truly special. We are so happy that we found them and would highly recommend it for anyone looking to elope or have a wedding ceremony. Thank you!

    Damon & Andrew
  • 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.

    Justin Reiher
  • Jane from Young, Hip and Married was an absolute dream to work with. She did such an incredible job and we are so happy with how our ceremony turned out. She was so good that we even had family come up to us asking if we knew her – she made it that personal and intimate. 10/10!

    Carly & Justin
  • 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.

    Nazanin & Leo
  • YHM were great to work with! Jane personalized our ceremony just perfectly & created a beautiful ceremony on the day. We have plenty of compliments from our guests. Would highly recommend!

    Zoe & Adrian
  • The whole experience from start to finish was amazing! My wife and I booked in our zoom pre call with Jane and instantly knew she would be our officiant. After our pre zoom call, Jane was very professional and prompt with helping script the ceremony! On the day of the wedding, Jane was nothing less than amazing! A lot of our wedding guests even stated that Jane was the best officiant they’ve seen! If you’re on the fence with picking officiants, Young Hip & Married is the way to go!!

    Jeff & Morgan
  • 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.

    Colleen & Dan
  • YH&M was the perfect vendor to handle our ceremony. Jane was professional, courteous, and accommodating, and really went the extra mile to ensure our ceremony was unique and special for both us and our guests. Rhona handled our rehearsal the night before and the two of them seamlessly were able to make the transition between the two days. We would also very much recommend the vow writing course. It really gives you a great framework and structure and we heard from many of our guests that our vows were so special and one of their favorite parts of the ceremony. We would highly recommend YH&M for your wedding day!

    Scott & Kelsey
  • We had a great experience with Young Hip & Married and are so thankful we chose them for our small, intimate elopement ceremony. Communication was timely and efficient and everything felt effortless. Our officiant, Jane, was very professional and helpful along the way. Thank you for making this experience easy and enjoyable and for your wonderful energy!

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

    Jean-Philippe & Julie
  • We are so glad we decided to use Young Hip and Married for our special day. The process was very easy to complete and they were very responsive which is very important. Our officiant was Jane and she was so sweet and amazing. She checked in a couple times before the wedding day which was really nice. On the wedding day, Jane did an amazing job with crafting the vows to suit us perfectly. Wedding day was a huge success. Thanks Jane!

    Kelly & Eva
  • 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 🙂

    Gina & Robert
  • 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!

    Gabrielle & Lincoln
  • Jane, Clint, and Rebecca were the most helpful and accommodating during the planning of our COVID wedding. One of our family members had some last minute health issues and the three of them were so kind and eager to make things work for us – even if it meant rescheduling twice! To top it off, we got married on the windiest day ever, but Jane and Clint were such troopers through it all. Our families both commented on how much they loved Jane’s attitude and words during the ceremony. We were absolutely blown away (pun intended) by the photos we received from Clint! My hair was so wind blown and we were both cold, so we didn’t have high hopes that the photos would turn out – but we were so wrong! Clint used the surroundings to provide us with a range of photos that felt fresh and intimate. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and was eager to take photos wherever we wanted. All in all – we definitely recommend Young Hip & Married!

    Maddy & Jonathan
  • 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!

    Bryanna
  • We had met with other officiants before meeting Jane from YH &M. We found the previous ones to be quite sterile and serious, but Jane was a breath of fresh air.

    We wanted to keep our afternoon restaurant wedding light hearted but very genuine. Jane never pushed anything on us that felt unnatural or corny. She was laid back but still professional which made her easy to talk to. She wrote an amazing ceremony that our guests really loved and was so personal to us.

    We mentioned our favorite movies and she went and researched readings and quotes to include in the ceremony without us even asking for them, and our ceremony was so much better than we thought it could be! We allocated more of our budget to the officiant than to other details and it was definitely worth it! our ceremony was great and set the tone for the whole wedding.

    Kevin & Tara
  • 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.

    Andrew & Trevor
  • 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.

    Cherlyn & Casey
  • 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.

    Hamas & Simon
  • Jane was a gem. She was easy going and relate-able without being too present. The ceremony was quick but still managed to hold a lifetime of emotion. I couldn’t have imagined things going more smoothly. The YH&M service itself was easy, convenient, attentive, and affordable.

  • 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!

    Laura Collins
  • Jane was amazing! She’s very easy to work with; her suggestions are excellent. She made our wedding planning easy and relaxed. She came up with a sweet and simple ceremony, which we are really aiming for. Jane and the whole YHM team, the whole experience was effortless and stress-free!

    Kim & Abegail
  • 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!

    Mariel & Mathew
  • My husband and I had the pleasure of Jane Halton marrying us in a small elopement with only 6 guests. She showed up early and was extremely pleasant. Explained everything prior to the ceremony and made a short and sweet note about marriage and the importance of each guest in our lives, before going through our vows. She even mailed our wedding license for us! Jane was a wonderful addition to our day and put us both at ease. Thank you, Jane!
    Matt and Lauren
    Lauren & Matt
  • We eloped and Jane of YH&M made our day perfect! She was kind and organized and shared some lovely words at our ceremony. We found the whole thing was seamless!

    Tina & Robert
  • 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.

    Vivi & Aaron
  • 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!

    Allison Shepperd
  • 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!

    Arash & Sumedha
  • Could not say enough good things about YH&M! When we were planning our wedding we knew we wanted an intimate ceremony with an officiant who was heartfelt, genuine and who made the ceremony fun yet special. Jane was perfect. We would 100% recommend YH&M for big and small ceremonies. You completely get what you pay for and for us that was so important.

  • Jane was amazing!!! Such a personalized and unique ceremony tailored to our needs/event. On time, professional and open to couple’s input! Would recommend over and over!

    Alisha & Jesse
  • 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.

    Alia & Shawn
  • Words can’t expressed how pleased and amazed we were with our choice in using Young Hip and Married as our officiants for our September 2nd, 2017 wedding! We had the pleasure to work with JANE HALTON! She was extremely professional, organized, so easy to talk to and get to know, and so talented at creating the best ceremony script! Our guests were blown away at how personalized, fun, yet romantic the ceremony was. We literally had guests tell us it was “the best they have ever been to.” I would highly recommend investing in Young Hip and Married/Jane Halton for your upcoming wedding!!! Thanks again Jane!!! You are the best!

    Kylie
  • 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!

    Sara & Josh
  • 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!

    Laury & Miguel
  • 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.

    Matt & Ann-Marie
  • 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.

    N & D
  • I’m so glad we went with these guys. They were so committed to giving us a personal wedding that was us. Jane was awesome and reached out to family and friends to find out stories about us. She also helped me and my partner with writing vows and giving us pointers. She was very open to hearing our thoughts and was soooo easy to work with. On the day, she was incredible! She kept everything fun and light and intimate which is exactly what we wanted. I had people coming up to me and saying that it was the most beautiful and funny ceremony they’ve been to and that was all down to Jane. She kept us right, guided us along the way and made us laugh. I would highly recommend these guys.
    Sara-Jo & Dáire
  • 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.

    Kayla & Sepehr
  • We had the best experience with Jane throughout the entire process of creating our ceremony details! Jane was simply the best and so easy to work with, and made the entire experience that was stressful in our minds, so fun and creative. She did a fantastic job with the Persian ceremony as well that we got so many wonderful feedback from our guests. Thank you Jane for everything, it was so great working with you!
    Sherry & Wojtek
  • 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.

    Matt & Meghan
  • We got married by Jane Halton this Saturday. She made our ceremony simple and beautiful. Highly recommend!

    Diana Meneses
  • 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.

    David & Swetha
  • 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!

    Andrea
  • We loved working with Jane! She kept us on track during the wedding planning process and personalized our ceremony to make it feel really special. She kept the tone fun and light and we really appreciated how easy it was to work with her.

  • Since day one Jane was extremely easy to get along with and talk to. Jane always replied right away via email or text message. After the first meeting we knew she would be part of the reason our day would be so special. Jane presents herself in a professional, yet fun manner. We would highly recommend Jane and Young Hip & Married to any of our friends and family.

  • Jane Halton from YH&M officiated our day, and I can not recommend her more highly! She had a great presence – keeping us calm and in the moment – and everyone in attendance commented about how lovely her ceremony was. The whole process of hiring Jane was seamless, the team at YH&M really know what they’re doing. If you’re looking for an officiant for your wedding or elopement, look no further!

  • Wonderful experience. At first we were hesitant about it – this is quite a non-traditional experience. YH&M was always responsive to us though and provided all the details we needed. My wife and I are actually from Atlanta, GA and had a destination wedding in Vancouver, so YH&M worked perfectly for us. Jane (our officiant) had prepared a lovely intro speech before we said our vows. It was surprising and very heart-warming! The photographer (Amber) was also very friendly and took photos for us in various locations in the city following the ceremony. All in all, this was a worthwhile experience and worth our money. Highly recommended.

  • Jane was our officiant and she did a fantastic job! Our ceremony was fun and sweet and all our family and friends LOVED it! People said it was very unique and refreshing to have such a thoughtful ceremony… my husband and I would recommend paying a little extra to have someone who is invested in YOUR ceremony and gets to know you; it makes it so so special. Thank you Jane and YH&M.

  • We cannot recommend Young Hip and Married enough. Everyone we encountered was warm, friendly, and kind. We ended up postponing/rescheduling our elopement twice as a result of the pandemic and never once were we made to feel bad about making that choice. When we finally got to get married, the ceremony was everything we wanted and the photos were gorgeous.

  • My husband and I decided back in July 2022 to get married in September 2022. We contacted Young Hip & Married, after having looked through the website and seeing the services they offered. They responded promptly and had a photographer and officiant available on the day we wanted. Our officiant, Jane, was so lovely and the words she spoke during our ceremony were beautiful. Our photographer, John, was nothing short of amazing – his photographs were mind-blowing. In all, it was a perfect day and we could not have have asked for a more “us” wedding day. Thank you so much, YH&M!!! 🙂

  • YH&M is an amazing company! We had Jane officiate our ceremony and she put many hours of detail into creating a blended Persian & Canadian ceremony unique to us. The price is on the higher end, but it is definitely worth the investment! Our ceremony was personalized, professional, and we had a lot of input into the final version. Well done YH&M!

  • 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.

  • We reached out to Young Hip & Married because they had a wonderful irreverent and casual attitude. They were fantastic throughout – communicative, clear and accommodating. We booked the elopement package, with Jane as our officiant and Emily as our photographer, and both were professional and lovely.

  • 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!!

  • 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!

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

  • The Young Hip & Married team was so easy to work with; everyone there was very kind, knowledgeable and had extreme patience with all the questions I had asked. And they were always unbelievably quick at responding back to me emails and inquiries!

    They provided so much information to help me through the process of getting married. They have so many options, packages and add-ons available to tailor the event exactly the way you’d like it. They offered the perfect package for my needs, having my friend officiant the actual ceremony and keeping the real officiant’s time with us short and sweet just to get the legal paperwork done.

    Our officiant Jane was well organized prior to the wedding date to ensure we didn’t have to worry about a thing on the day of. She arrived promptly and at a time that best suited our day and concluded the whole thing in less than 5 minutes! They took all the stress about legal paperwork right off my plate so it was everything I could’ve asked for. I highly recommend working with the Young Hip and Married team!

    Christina & Angelo
  • We had this team booked for us through a ceremony package and the whole experience was great! We received a full overview of how the day was going to go and a step by step about writing vows etc Overall it was all super easy which I think everyone wants on their wedding day!

    Dariya & Justin
  • Excellent company to work with. Jane conducted our ceremony and she was perfect. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

    Katherine McKey
  • 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.

    Jenny & Nathan
  • Planning our elopement in Vancouver with the help of Jane and the rest of the YH&M Team was flawless, stress-free and so simple. If you are considering booking your elopement with them, stop considering and book NOW. Our wedding day would not have been the same without them.

    Jane was prompt in responding to emails, gave incredible advice for locations and was professional and lovely during our ceremony. It felt as though we had known her personally for a long time.

    The YH&M Team has streamlined elopement ceremonies and we would recommend this a million times over! This is a decision you just can’t regret. Thank you for making our day the most amazing day of our lives!

  • Using Young Hip & Married was one of the best choices we made in our wedding planning process. Our officiant, Jane, was easy to work with and made us feel excited and comfortable. The ceremony was totally “us” and we received many comments and compliments about how engaging our ceremony was and how she made everyone feel at ease. If you are debating about using them for your wedding, don’t! Their services are totally worth it! Thanks Jane!

    Chelsea & Ryan
  • Jane Halton was our wedding officiant from Young Hip and Married. She was extremely professional, warm, and she delivered the exact ceremony we wanted. I would highly recommend Jane to anyone searching for a top notch wedding officiant. Thank you Jane for making our wedding day highly memorable!

    Jill & Mark
  • 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!

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

    Chelanne & Chris
  • I cannot speak highly enough of Young Hip and Married. Professional and accommodating while being super affordable, they managed to roll with the restrictions on indoor dining being announced the day before our wedding and still helped make it the best day of our lives.

    Chris & Carissa
  • We are so thankful we went with Young, Hip and Married for our wedding day. Jane was an awesome officiant and made the day very special and Emily the photographer went above and beyond.

    Thanks again to everyone at Young Hip and Married for making our day unforgettable.

  • Such a lovely experience with Jane from Young Hip and Married. She was professional, warm and guided the ceremony with such grace. I also loved the vow course that YHM sent to us before our big day. Overall an excellent experience.

    Jamie & Blair
  • We have had such an amazing experience with YH&M! We were able to link with Jane who was the very best helping us out along the way and having such great communication with us. She lead our ceremony so beautifully we were tearing from the very beginning with her words. We were able to have help with the videos provided for making our custom vows too! The weekly reminders to complete the vow course was a nice touch. Thank you guys so much for everything we appreciate you! We will definitely be spreading the word on YH&M
