My team and I seek to assist couples in connecting with each other through planning their wedding and to connect with their families and friends by including the fun, quirky elements of themselves that make them the rad couple that they truly are.
I am proud to have such an amazing team of lead planners and wedding day assistants - and yes you will see most of us filling both roles as I truly believe in a culture of team work and lifting each other up. We are constantly learning, growing, and tasting to keep up with all the best practices, trends, and food/beverages available every year to our clients.

The best planner on the island. Made everything so easy and came our perfect
Radhika and her team and by far the best on the island. My wife and I are from the states and planned this destination wedding so her family can come. I was terrified this would turn into a disaster because I've only been to Vancouver Island once for business. Thankfully we had Radhika helping us every step of the way. She made it feel so easy when all of our friends were saying they struggled just to put on a local wedding and all their family lived nearby. Radhika completely understood what we were looking for and made it happen perfectly. We and all of our guests had an amazing time and everyone is still talking about how we had the perfect fairy tale wedding. Radhika is such an amazing, kind, sweet person and we are so grateful that we were able to get to know her and plan a wedding together.

Rad Wedding Review
Rad is absolutely amazing at her job. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for any sort of coordinator for your wedding. From the beginning Rad was extremely easy to get ahold of - that did not change throughout the whole process. Anytime I had a question Rad was there to answer it or suggest something even better. She is super organized and will ask you questions you wouldn’t even think of but are 100% necessary to make your day perfect. Rad is so good that I even had other vendors reach out to me commenting on how her organization made their jobs that much easier! I was totally stressed out the day before the wedding and Rad jumped in to handle everything and anything that I needed. My wedding day was absolutely perfect with no issues (that I was aware of anyway). I can’t thank Rad enough for making my wedding day such a success.

The perfect wedding
Having Radhika help with the planning and coordinating was the best decision we made. She took away all of the stress and made the whole planning process and wedding day enjoyable. I highly recommend having Rad on your team, she is well experienced and the best at what she does. Thank you Rad for all that you did for u

Thank you Terry! You and Neisha were a pleasure to work with and the location was wonderful too! I wish you both the best and hope to see you again soon!
Some of my favourite things: cake, kitty cuddles, adventures, and wine
I began working in the wedding industry in 2012 and founded Rad Occasions in 2015. Originally from Edmonton, I have called Victoria home for 15 years and love everything about the city. My focus is on connecting with couples to create a rad wedding day that truly reflects them as individuals as well as a couple. I can often be found going the extra mile whether it be folding 500+ cranes or saving flowers from a flash rain storm.

Amanda Shearing
Assistant
Some of my favourite things: walks with my husband along Dallas Road, travelling, scary books, and popcorn.
I am a former Rad Occasions Bride and had so much fun planning my own wedding that after it was all done, I contacted Rad for any opportunities there might be to join the team and have been a part of so many beautiful weddings since 2017. When I am not coordinating weddings I am busy at school shaping the minds of elementary students.

Nikkita Pothorin
Lead Planner
Some of my favourite things: exploring the outdoors, The Notebook, creating cocktails, and all things pretty
I joined the team in 2017 while casually serving Rad on a patio and explaing that it was my dream to be a wedding planner. I loved my first year as an assistant: putting the finishing touches on tables, setting up the ceremony, & hearing the beautiful vows. I am certified with the Wedding Planners Institute of Canada and am excited to be taking the lead on month of coordination packages.
