Make your dream wedding a reality

Jenn Wakeham

Wedding Planner

I am a certified Destination Wedding Planner through the Wedding Planning Institute of Canada (WPIC). As a Canadian who spent most of my childhood living abroad in Germany, I grew up having a sense of adventure and a love for travel. This naturally led me to pursue a career as a Flight Attendant, where I continuously have the opportunity to see the world, discover hidden gems and local favourites and experience all that other cultures have to offer. I am grateful to be able to share these experiences with our clients.

I love weddings! My husband Joe and I always dreamt of a destination wedding and with both of our extensive travel experience it made sense to say our "I Do's" in paradise. We thought that with our combined travel knowledge and having been to several weddings, that the planning would be a breeze. We quickly discovered that it was not as simple as we thought it would be. With all the time and effort we put into the research and planning, we quickly became experts on how the entire process worked. Our experience and my desire to help others inspired me to help couples turn their destination wedding dreams into reality. I want couples to enjoy the process without having to worry about the unknowns and stressors that we had experienced. My goal is to ensure couples can truly enjoy their engagement and the wedding planning experience. I love what I do and want to help create a wedding that is perfect, unforgettable and to make the entire process simple and enjoyable for you from start to finish!
