OUR STYLE
we can be fancy, we can be laid back, we can be a lot of things. we find it very difficult to describe ourselves as any specific style because each of our events completely reflects our clients - their style, their personalities, their vision. our planning process is modified for every couple depending on their preferred level of involvement, their planning timeline + their personalities. but one thing that is consistent and that we hear over and over is that we are known for details, for our laid-back yet precise planning style, our strong relationships with our vendors and our ability to bring out the best in our clients to create unforgettable celebrations. we listen, we learn, we research, we trust, we create, we hustle + have a helluva lotta fun.

PETITE PEARL IN UNITED KINGDOM + EUROPE
producing weddings in europe was an incredible chapter for us, it was forever changed and put at a complete halt due to the pandemic and relocation of our UK-based planner. as of right now, we are no longer based in the UK but of course WE TRAVEL and are able to offer our services in europe where we have vendor relationships or worldwide. otherwise you can find us working our bums off on weddings being held in vancouver and the sea to sky corridor (squamish/whistler/pemberton) in british columbia.

WHAT DRIVES US
we are always asked what our job entails. our team motto #webeclassy describes it best. we coined this phrase to sarcastically describe the level of disheveled we hit at the 16th hour on event days. we promise we truly are well put together individuals... until we've been onsite since the crack of dawn, living on coffee and a crumb, resorting to top knots, lugging around furniture, beading sweat, wearing zap straps as part of our attire, answering a zillion questions and hanging from the rafters at some point racing against time to ensure everything is absolutely perfect. don't even get us started on what we look like at 4am after tear down. yes, a big part of the job is meetings, spreadsheets, planning, emails x a million and all the paperwork but the other half of our life is spent onsite evenings and weekends bringing it all together. we are 150% hands-on because nothing is more important to us than you having the best day of your life.

REVIEWS
"....the commitment and hard work Jessica puts toward her business and client relationships is so inspiring that it actually led me to re-evaluate my own job...everyone should be so lucky to be as in love with their career and it truly shows in everything she does. I could not be more thankful to have worked with Petite Pearl and recommend using Jessica and team with my highest praise...."
KELSEY + JAMES
"You will learn that most wedding vendors are very good at their art, but many are not very good at their business. [Petite Pearl] is the full package...I couldn't recommend Margot or Petite Pearl highly enough. They made the planning process a piece of cake, and our wedding day unbelievably special, and all the while she is a genuinely nice person that you look forward to interacting with. Can't beat that."
HAYLEY + RASMUS
"Regardless of how chaotic the world was, Jessica was present and focused in every aspect of the process,.. There literally wasn’t one moment of stress on our end and we can’t say enough about how amazing our experience was and how much our love for Jessica had grown over the last three years. We wish there were more excuses to throw parties just to work with these wonderful people again."
KAYLA + YANNICK
"Marielle and the team went above and beyond to make sure that us newlyweds were stress-free. and enjoying the day to the fullest. We received many compliments on how smoothly the event went and how the team was so involved and helpful. We will be forever grateful for all the hard work that was put in to make our wedding so magical."
NICOLE + ANTHONY
"....Hiring Petite Pearl Events was like unlocking a door to a whole new world of wedding possibilities that we had no idea were possible! We always knew that Jessica and her team would make our extravagant vision come to life (and did they ever!!!). But what we didn't realize is how much support, both technical and emotional, Jessica would provide throughout the entire process. She was our comrade in building inspiration and excitement, and our saviour in times of confusion...."
OLA + JESSE
"Instead of working with us for a year we ended up working with [Nicola] for a total of 3 years due to multiple rescheduled dates because of Covid. Throughout that whole time we always felt like a valued customer and never felt forgotten. we finally had our long anticipated wedding day and it was way more then we ever could have imagined thanks to Nicola and Petite Pearls hard work."
KRISTIN + JUSTIN
"....I know everyone warns you that "something will go wrong" on your wedding day, but I honestly can't think of even one thing that wasn't flawless, and it was mostly thanks to Jessica and Margot's attention to detail and true passion for putting on amazing events. Beyond our own rave reviews, everyone in the local industry has the utmost respect for Jessica, and I think that speaks volumes for the calibre of business she’s built...."
TIA + SHAUN
Margot was an absolute dream to work with every step of the way. Our ceremony was very small, but we opted for a full planning package for peace of mind... and it was the best decision ever! Margot took such good care of us... She thoughtfully suggested vendors that fit our vision, vibe and budget perfectly... and all from a distance! We are so grateful for the time and attention she devoted to making sure every detail was just right. We really feel she went above and beyond."
SUSAN + GRAEME
"Nicola planned our wedding that took place recently in Whistler and words cannot even begin to describe how perfect it was. Nicola worked tirelessly behind the scenes to pull off multiple wedding events for us and made it look easy, even though we know it wasn't! Every single detail was well thought out and curated perfectly to fit our aesthetic and vibe that we envisioned for the day."
KAT + AMIR
"Jess, the wedding was perfect....me and Matt could not have done it without you (and if we had, we would likely have two stomach ulcers, one heart attack, one acute case of post-traumatic stress and 140 food poisoned guests between us). You rocked our socks off. And every single person was overwhelmed with how amazing it was, so I am counting on seeing you at our friends weddings as you execute on perfections! You are an angel masquerading as a planner."
ELICiA + MATT
"Jessica and her team were exceptional in every way....We had a fairly unique and unconventional idea of what we wanted our wedding to look like; Jessica truly listened to our ideas, and offered helpful suggestions while still respecting our values and ultimate vision....Hiring Petite Pearl was probably the best decision (after the proposal, obviously) that we made in this entire wedding."
LINDSAY + ROB
"....Petite Pearl Events is an outstanding company that shows expertise professionalism in all that they do. Alex and I were lucky enough to work first hand with Margot. Her responses to all messages were incredibly prompt from the start of contact...She was personable, cared about creating a friendship and strong bond, and most importantly loyal to us in ways that will be remembered forever...."
CARLOTTA + ALEX
"Margot made our wedding so beautiful, our guests felt like they were on a movie set. She was incredibly professional, patient, and very aware of our budget. I would recommend Petite Pearl to any engaged couple. It was by far the best money I spent on the wedding. Thank you so much to Margot and Petite Pearl!!!"
NICOLE + BRYCE
"....Marcie worked directly with all of our vendors to navigate almost daily changes, and helped us be ready for just about anything the day threw at us. She also helped make sure we thought about absolutely everything and plan for everything, so that we felt prepared leading up to and could relax on the day of. Marcie made our whole wedding experience a dream. Now we want to have another just to work with her again!...."
CAROLINE + TOM
"Gordon and Jessica took the time to listen to all of our ideas and get a sense of our vision. They provided advice, answered all questions and helped us consider all of the details we would not have thought of on our own. They repeatedly offered to go above and beyond if we needed anything. I never felt worried about how things would turn out as I knew we were in great hands. "
JILIAN + STUART
majority of our clients hire us for our exceptional planning alongside our jaw-dropping design services because the design/decor aspect of your event is a beast of it's own. who do you think has the best ability to oversee the big picture, the little picture, all the details in between while also knowing every nook and cranny of your floor plan AND already be in contact with all other vendors who are involved in the event? YOUR PLANNER! but most planners are not also decorators. we actually handle the sourcing, management, budget, set up, install + tear down of all the decor in addition to coming up with the entire design alongside the planning! allow us to over deliver ;) our minimum service offering from may-october is takeover coordination + event design.
WHAT WE'RE KNOWN FOR
so, you want an unreal, one-of-a-kind wedding and you also want to fully enjoy all of the celebrations with none of the stress?! you've come to the right place! the cherry on top is that you'll also have an A+ team of vendors to rely on and a budget that will be spent in all the right areas from the get go. your wedding is just as important to us as it is to you, but it's YOURS. so while we want every aspect to reflect you, we also want to ensure it's done right. a wedding has a million moving parts which leaves a lot of room for error if not done properly. leave it to us to do the 250+ hours of tedious planning involved in orchestrating your vision. you can be as involved as you like but we don't blame you if you just want to do the fun stuff ;)
FULL PLANNING
STARTING AT $10,500
if you feel like you need more help than "takeover coordination" but not as much as "full planning" then this package is perfect for you. we provide you with guidance throughout your planning process including a full budget breakdown, all vendor recommendations, a timeline outline, a site visit with you to determine layout, develop required floorplan(s), as well as ongoing email support right up until we take over the month prior to your wedding. we give you all of our valuable industry knowledge and the tools you need to remove any guesswork, while still leaving you in charge of communication with your vendors. basically you're a planning pro without even knowing it!
PARTIAL PLANNING
STARTING AT $5,500
available as a stand alone service from november-april only. it's "month-of" and then some. we want to set you up for success in your earlier planning + vendor sourcing stages so we include a thorough 2-hour guidance meeting. then in order to ensure a flawless execution of your big day, we begin to "takeover" 6 weeks prior. we want a sufficient amount of time to learn about what you've planned + confidently take the final nitty gritty off your hands. we build you a detailed timeline and a final clean version of your floor plan, take over all vendor communication, attend your rehearsal, act as your eyes + ears on the wedding day so that it comes together exactly as you envisioned and troubleshoot all of the inevitable hiccups (without you having to know!).
TAKEOVER COORDINATION

nope, not just weddings around here! although weddings are our bread + butter for a good chunk of the year, the rest of our year is filled with ensuring company holiday parties, foundation fundraisers, conferences and milestone parties are also the talk of the town. from intimate gatherings to hundreds or thousands of guests, we've done it all. but we don't do boring! we'll encourage unique ideas, special extras, and a personalized experience so your event stands out from the next. we want to help you show your guests, clients, partners, employees, supporters + all those in attendance how much you appreciate them. if you've got the planning under control + just want us to dress up the party all pretty, we definitely do that too.
