I’m Anne — the heart behind Pacific Rim Event Planning (PREP).

With over 20 years of experience in event planning, I love creating thoughtful celebrations that feel personal, adventurous and completely right for you. Whether you’re dreaming of exchanging vows with the ocean behind you, gathering your favourite people for an unforgettable weekend, or simply need someone experienced beside you to bring all the pieces together, I’m here to make it happen — beautifully and with ease.

Based in Tofino, PREP specializes in elopements, weddings and customized celebrations along the breathtaking coast of Vancouver Island and beyond.

Living and working here has given me deep roots in this incredible place and trusted relationships with wonderful local vendors. Every celebration is tailored to the people at the heart of it — from intimate elopements and full wedding planning to day-of coordination and professional event support.

What sets my work apart is a blend of European clarity and a deep love for the freedom of the West Coast. I guide you through the ideas, logistics and decisions with intention, while leaving space for your celebration to actually feel like you.

Because there is no one right way to get married.

Maybe it’s 100 people celebrating with you. Maybe it’s 20 of your closest family and friends. Or maybe it’s just the two of you, the Pacific Ocean and a bottle of champagne.

Celebrate your love story your way.

Rainforest Magic

Anne was incredible from start to finish. She jumped through all the hoops for us and made our vision come to life! The day flowed seemlessly and she thought of every little detail. She assembled a rockstar team for us and kept us both equally entertained! With several check-ins leading up to the big day, and a face-to-face meeting when we finally got to Tofino she made sure we knew we were supported every step of the way. She gave great local recommendations and had the inside scoop on the tourist hot-spots. With only one wedding day we are glad we got to spend ours with Anne!

Anne is everything you need and more!

Anne came to us with a glowing smile, and continued to do so the entire time she worked with us. Her personality is relatable, friendly, and brings a great sense of humor. She was confident with taking on the requirements of our day, fitting her services in with our needs, and made sure all details were covered and executed as we wished. She coordinated with all our other vendors to make everything flow, and helped to problem-solve when needed. She also kept the entire day on schedule right down to the beat, which isnt easy when managing a large group of people. All in all, she packaged up our special day with a big bow on top. Took the stress out of the little things, and felt like a part of our wedding party, we were so happy to have her on our team.

We had a magical winter wedding in Europe. An intimate and heartfelt celebration with close friends and family. A huge thank you to Anne who arranged everything last minute and made it happen.

Made the day stress free + perfect

Anne is the exact person you want when planning and executing an event. She is detail oriented, can see the vision and make it come to life, is very organized, extremely professional and can handle any situation with class. She is very skilled at what she does and will go above and beyond for you. I highly recommend her services.

A beautiful perfect day

Anne was a pleasure to work with, very efficient, organized, professional, and fun. She took the time before hand with the bride and groom to make sure she knew their vision of the day and brought it all to life. As the mother of the bride I was able to enjoy my daughter’s big day spend time with her and all the guests and not to have worry about one little detail. Such piece of mind when you have PREP on your side. It was a beautiful day and we highly recommend her.

I’m Anne — the heart and creative force behind Pacific Rim Event Planning (PREP).

With a certification in International Events & Wedding Planning and a genuine love for bringing people together, I’ve built PREP around creating celebrations that feel personal, thoughtful and a little adventurous.

Based in Tofino, I specialize in elopements, weddings and personalized celebrations across Vancouver Island and beyond. The wild beauty of the West Coast continues to inspire my work — but my passport is always ready for wherever your love story might take us.

I believe every love story deserves to be celebrated in a way that genuinely feels like you. I take the time to get to know my couples, understand what matters to them and bring all the little pieces together — weaving personal touches, local gems and a sense of adventure into every celebration.

My approach combines thoughtful planning and a little European practicality with the freedom and beauty of West Coast living. I want you to feel supported throughout the planning, confident that the details are taken care of, and completelypresent when the day finally arrives.

Because your wedding doesn’t have to follow a formula. It should feel meaningful, memorable and completely yours.

Celebrate your love story your way.
