ABOUT US


THE BEHIND-THE-SCENES TEAM YOU NEED

TO MAKE ALL OF THAT MEMORABLE MAGIC HAPPEN

With decades of wedding planning and event production experience to our name, we know one thing to be true: great event planning is all about turning the intangible into the seen, felt, experienced, and never forgotten.

Behind the scenes, you may not see us building relationships with the area’s best vendors, geeking out over spreadsheets and seating charts, remembering your favourite cocktail, or tweaking tablescapes—but you will absolutely feel it on your wedding day.

You’ll feel it in the way everything comes together flawlessly without you lifting a finger. When guest after guest tells you this is the best wedding they’ve ever been to. In the moment when you look at your spouse without a care in the world and know: you’re exactly where you should be, surrounded by love, joy, and the kind of unfettered fun you’ll talk about for a lifetime.


ALL ARE WELCOME HERE

The classic Smitten Events couple doesn’t share a specific style, background, or way of life. Instead, they have one simple thing in common: they’re good people who value a great time.

We’re proud to be an inclusive event-planning boutique that helps clients and couples of all religious and cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, ethnicities, and genders celebrate life’s milestones. If you, too, love kind people and epic parties—this is your planning house, and we’re your party people.

MEET THE FOUNDERS

JORDAN MAXEY + DEVON DUNN
OWNERS + CREATIVE DIRECTORS + EVENT PLANNERS IN VANCOUVER YOU’LL LOVE

We’re so glad you landed here—welcome! Since co-founding Smitten Events in 2013, we have planned over 400 experience-rich events, assembled an incredible team of talented wedding planners with diverse backgrounds and expertise, and earned a number of industry accolades to Smitten’s name. But our greatest reward will always be watching your reaction as your event unfolds.

Our shared passion for infusing your personality into your event informs the warm, personal approach we bring to planning—while our complementary skill sets ensure every creative and logistical base is covered along the way. Devon is a master in timeline management who lives for a well-organized spreadsheet—and Jordan can’t get enough of the fine details of an event. Together, we share a love of long-table dinners with cocktails and friends, a healthy obsession with a good theme party, and a commitment to bringing unwavering professionalism to the planning journey, while still keeping things fun and fresh.

Our number-one goal? To help you create an event that represents you authentically, intentionally, and in a creatively inspired way.

 
 

WE COULDN’T DO IT ALONE…

Meet the event planners who are here to turn your vision into an extraordinary, immersive reality…

KIND WORDS

“Francesca and her team were an absolute treat to work with for our wedding. They really took their time to understand our vision and expectations. Francesca and her team made sure to take charge during stressful moments and re-assured us along the way. Our wedding day was perfect! It was exactly as we envisioned and the day went smoothly thanks to Francesca, Devon and the crew. We highly recommend using Smitten Events and we would not have chosen anyone else to plan and execute our special day.”
