Our Team

Although the bulk of Young Hip & Married is made up of our awesome team of wedding officiants across North America, there are a few of us that keep things moving from Metro Vancouver. We manage the officiant and photographer teams, do the technical stuff, blog, gram, tweet, post, email, and photograph.

We work together so that our awesome couples can have the wedding ceremony of their dreams and keep their marriage going strong for life.

What Our Couples Say

The BEST! I wish there were more than 5 stars because they deserve all the stars! Our wedding day could not have been any more perfect. They did a great job making it casual, personal, and unique. There was no stress, no complications, and tons of good vibes.

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.

What Our Couples Say

A day filled with lots of love, memories, amazement, and a foreverness. I am so grateful I came across Young Hip & Married. From the minute we put in our request, until the follow-up after… we couldn’t be more elated with our choice to have Jane and her team be part of our wedding day.

Jane, thank you for everything. You were professional, kind and very organized. Your guidance and time with us made us feel less stressed and comfortable. You blended in so amazingly into our wedding day and made it so beautifully memorable for us. We can’t say thank enough!! So glad we were able to have you with us and be a part of our special day.

Thank you, Young Hip and Married. Couples do yourself a favour… book them! Accountable, reliable, in-budget, generous, adaptable, professional… I could go on!

What Our Couples Say

Planning weddings are hard, but YH&M make it SO easy to hire an officiant. Not only were they incredibly patient and answered all my questions so thoroughly, but they did it so quickly too! Not only that, but our officiant, Curt, was absolutely amazing and just so sweet. Meeting and talking with him beforehand was so easy and stress-free, it was one of the easiest things my husband and I did while planning this wedding. I would recommend YH&M to anyone looking to get married.
