This has to be the best 4th wedding anniversary party there ever was… World, meet Han & Scott. Han & Scott travel from Texas with their closest friends and family every year to a new international destination to celebrate their anniversary… HOW amazing is that!? These two have so much love for their crew, and let me tell you we packed their weekend itinerary sampling the best that Banff and Lake Louise has to offer, capped off by an amazing wedding celebration that had everyone’s dancing feet on the floor thanks to @jordankahnorchestra and @djandyaustin

Honestly, all I can really say is God Bless TEXAS and thank you to this amazing couple for trusting us to bring to life this incredible event. We love you @dr.han_schmidly & Scott!

This cake by @kakebydarci was one of the prettiest things I’d ever seen 😍 A total masterpiece! I do love a classic white wedding cake, but adding a bit of colour is a fun way to tie together the details too.

The entire JYW team has the weekend O F F 🙌 And it feels so gooood to spend it with our families! We are so freaking lucky to have had a summer filled with gorgeous weddings every weekend, and this was the only weekend since JUNE that we haven’t had a wedding 😳 But we booked it off to try get a bit of balance in our busiest season yet. Our hearts are full and we cannot believe how quickly this summer has flown by, and the incredible weddings that we’ve gotten to dream up and bring to life like this very special one for @misoohangry and @charleschiasson ❤️ A truly unforgettable day for everyone involved!

It takes a village… To build a village! I am so

It takes a village… To build a village! I am so humbled all the kind words & DMs we’ve been getting about last weekends wedding in Spray Meadows, and behind the scenes it truly was smooth sailing ⛵️ except for the curveballs thrown by our lovely but unpredictable friend, Banff weather. We learned so many lessons and there certainly were challenges that you didn’t see on IG, but the weekend was proof that anything is possible when you surround yourself with an amazing team 🤍

Still on cloud 9 from Meredith and Shawn’s tented wedding on Spray Meadows last weekend ❤️ What an incredible opportunity it was to basically build our own venue and bring this unique event to life over a span of 7 days with a team of incredible vendors. Our hearts are absolutely full 🥰

Thank you to the team who made this a huge success and to the sweetest couple @shes_tha_mann & @rshawnstagram we are forever grateful to you for trusting us with this wild idea before even having seen the venue 😂❤️

It was an all hands on deck weekend for the JYW team! Vibe was high, decor was perfection, and sound check was lit with @famous_players_band 😂

Always gotta make sure that dance floor works before guests arrive…

To my JYW team - Aimsley, Renée, Stephanie, Helena, and Kate… I could not be more grateful to be surrounded by a team of absolute star players - I am so proud of what we accomplished as a team this weekend. Now let’s all go sleep for a week until next time…Love you all 🤍

A legendary weekend for the most wonderful couple @shes_tha_mann and @rshawnstagram

Is it just me or does June feel like 7 months ago!

Is it just me or does June feel like 7 months ago!? 🤪 I’m so excited to finally share a little more from Amanda & Stephens perfectly colourful reception at the beautiful @fairmontcll AKA our second home for the summer! We were so lucky to be at that hotel for 5 straight weekends in a row, and let me tell you it only gets more fun each time 🥂

CHEERS to all the vendors and partners we work with in the wedding industry who are working their ever living butts off this wild summer!! Especially to all those vendors we are lucky to see weekend after weekend, so lucky to do this thing with such a great team alongside us, keeping us sane and doing yoga in the storage room between speeches 🧘‍♀️ You know who you are.

And a special thanks to the awesome team on this one for our very special couple @amandabrooke67 and @resort_casual

I owe you guys some serious content… I know 😂 the past 2 weeks have been filled with some of the most incredible events we’ve ever done, ohhh my goodness I cannot wait to share more! But for now, we gotta stay focused on our clients and haven’t had a ton of time for social media. We will be excited to share soon, and so appreciate everyone’s patience during this wild and crazy wedding season!
