Not so young but still hip!

Shawn Miller and Rebecca from the YH&M team are amazing! When I first came across the name Young, Hip & Married, my initial thought was well we aren't that young but still kind of hip so let's give it a go!! Do not let the name fool you! Shawn is absolutely amazing at aligning your ceremony for you and your partner, family and friends. Extremely well spoken and continues to keep everyone engaged (no pun intended) at the ceremony. When you meet Shawn, you instantly connect. He is so easy to talk to, and he makes you feel comfortable sharing your story with him. If it's easier for you to write everything down and have Shawn speak to it - no problem! Shawn will make suggestions and assist you with anything you need to make your day special. Thank you Shawn!

Simple and easy!

We did the Signed, Sealed & Delivered package with Lonnie and the whole process was smooth, easy, and enjoyable! We wanted to legalize our marriage before the ceremony so that a friend could perform it, and this was a great fit. Communication was great, and Lonnie was lovely. We really appreciated the vow writing course as well, it was super helpful in creating a format for us to follow. Would definitely recommend!

A unique and special experience

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.

PERFECT option for a minimalist/elopement style wedding

Young, Hip & Married was a wonderful vendor to work with! My husband and I chose an elopement package, which included the officiant and photographer, and had a small outdoor ceremony with close family. It was perfect. Coordinating with the officiant and photographer was super easy, communication was always open and everything was done conveniently via email. Lonnie’s ceremony script was beautiful, and allowed for us to make our own few changes and add our own vows. Short, sweet and romantic, and our photos by Erica turned out amazing!!

The Perfect Wedding Ceremony

Our wedding ceremony was everything I dreamed it would be, and that could not have happened without the lovely, Rhona Segarra. My husband and I chose the Custom & Creative Ceremony package. This allowed us to tailor the ceremony to our preferences and ideas. Rhona Segarra, the commissioner we chose, was so helpful during the planning process. She took the time to meet with us via zoom, since we lived outside of her driving range. She took the time to get to know us and was open to hearing our ideas of how we wanted to ceremony to look and if there were any questions, she did not hesitate to respond and help. On the big day, she made my dreams come true. The ceremony was everything I hoped it would be and more. She really listened to what I wanted and made it happen. Overall, I am extremely impressed with the professionalism, the responsiveness and the helpfulness Young Hip and Married provided throughout this whole journey. I would highly recommend this company to anyone!

Co-Founder/ Officiant | Greater Vancouver & Fraser Valley

My wife, Erica and I are the Founders and the Owners here at Young Hip & Married—I also happen to be one of our officiants. But first and foremost, I am husband to my beautiful wife Erica whom I married in 2004, and the father to our four incredible kids.

Although I keep very busy running the company, and being a dad to my 4 kids, I still officiate quite a few weddings every year. If you’re interested in having me do your wedding, contact our team for more info!

Jane Halton
Head Coach & Officiant | Greater Vancouver & Fraser Valley

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.

Erika  Enns
Erika Enns
Officiant | Greater Vancouver & The Fraser Valley

When I’m not officiating, I can be found working at a small unconventional church in Abbotsford with my husband, dreaming of my next travel destination (Croatia and Greece are at the top of my list!) or just hanging out with my family. My favourite jobs ever are being a wife and a mother.

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.
