Hi there! I’m Corina, Founder of YPF Weddings & Co. and the visionary behind the Un-Wedding Movement. It’s so nice to meet you and I’m thrilled that you’re here.

Just in case you can’t tell, I’m definitely NOT your average wedding planner. I’m a fearless, bold, colour-loving, multi-passionate creative b*tch meets that friend that’s got your back and is not afraid to tell you the truth. Planning amazing experiences is my superpower, and I love the impact that I get to make in the lives of my clients.

I have a passion for planning weddings that are fun, uniquely personal, and at least a little unorthodox.

I currently live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada with my husband, Jonathan (better known as Dear). When I’m not planning weddings, I love to cook and bake, play video & board games, crochet, and do yoga. I’m a confessed Starbucks addict and history nerd. I’ve got a permanent travel bug, and my passport and suitcase are always on standby, ready to find an adventure at a moment’s notice.

AND YES, I KNOW MY STUFF…

Hello, I’m Sydney. I would describe myself as half snooty-gentry-type-in-designer-clothes-perusing-art-at-a-prestigious-wood-panelled-art-museum and half-bridge troll in the woods. Half freak, half geek. I’m into pretty much everything and am happiest when having conversations with people about their passions.

When not obsessing over progressive, collaborative business practices or how to create complete immersion in an event, I like to hide in my cave (a.k.a. basement apartment) with books, art, music, and my cat Berlioz.

After a decade working in the summer camp world – reinforced with stints in education, tourism, retail, food service, disability advocacy, community organizing, and film & television – I realized I loved creating joyful experiences and setting the stage for some pretty epic memory building. I was certified as a wedding planner by the Wedding Planner’s Institute of Canada in 2016. I finally found Corina as my mentor in 2019 and, in 2021, became a partner in YPF. She’s the Picard to my Riker, and there’s no looking back.

I’m anti-racism, anti-ableism, pro-land-back, pro-weed, pro-gay, pro-choice, pro-trans, pro-fat, and pro-hoe. In the words of Bob Dylan, “Either be groovy or leave, man.”
