Young Hip & Married are awesome! We decided to have a Surprise Wedding, with the guests believing they were coming to a surprise birthday party and they weren't let in on what was really happening until about 30 seconds before the ceremony began. Shawn and Young Hip & Married were "al-in" on our plan and Shawn even came up with a backstory so our guests wouldn't know he was the officiant until the start of the ceremony. The ceremony itself was the elopement ceremony and it was beautiful. Shawn brought joy, love, humour and just made our awesome day even awesomer! I couldn't recommend these guys enough.

Shawn was absolutely fantastic! We had requested a simple legalization/elopement, and everything turned out exactly as we had imagined it. He showed up at our chosen vacation excited for us and ready to go. He was friendly and engaging with us and our two friends who were there to witness. The whole experience turned out to be a very happy and memorable one! I will definitely be recommending these guys to anyone I know getting married in the future.

We sought out Shawn based on his reviews on the website at Young Hip and Married. We really only knew that we wanted something a bit different then the old "love honor and obey" and that was it. Shawn took the time to get to know us, and had some really great suggestions for the ceremony. On the day, Shawn was professional, friendly and very calming. His ideas about the ceremony made it very light hearted, romantic, and incredibly fantastic. Every guest laughed, until they nearly peed their pants and sobbed uncontrollably within the period of 30 minutes. I couldn't have asked for anything better. It was my own personal fairytale. Our friends now refer to it as "the wedding of the year". We were very happy with the service, and Shawn made it something we will never, ever forget.

Shawn was AMAZING!!! we decided 6 days before our wedding that we were going to try to pull of a surprise wedding at our engagement party. Shawn got back us right away, he was friendly, professional and up to the challenge we presented him with. All of our guests spoke so highly of him and they all thought we had known him forever as he made the ceremony so personal and romantic. We are not "review writers" but Shawn was so fantastic we just had to....if you are even slightly doubting going with Shawn..stop!! It's the right decision!

Young, Hip and Married exceeded our expectations in every area! Shawn and Erica are both so personable that even though we had never met face to face until moments before we were getting married, we felt as though we were spending time with old friends. Quality time! Shawn hit the mark so dead on in the words he spoke during our ceremony that one would wonder if he had been following us around for years in preparation. Erica took the photos for us and made our family feel completely at ease. We enjoyed the most laid back wedding day that suited our personalities completely, we wouldn't change one thing and are so grateful for the experience! If we could tell the world how awesome this was we would, I have even been suggesting people marry strangers just to get in on it:) Thanks!

Young Hip and Married provided my husband and I exactly the wedding ceremony we hoped for. We were looking for a unique and personal experience that wouldn't compromise our personal or spiritual values. Shawn was attentive, creative, and confident helping us arrange just such a ceremony. He kindly helped us through the entire process, from writing our own vows to navigating the paperwork involved in getting hitched. On the big day Shawn really connected with our family and friends and held the perfect space for my husband and I to be wed. After the ceremony many of my guests (some cynical anti wedding types) approached me to say they had never been to such an authentic and personally meaningful wedding until this one. I came to Young Hip and Married with a lot of ideas about the wedding I didn't want and Shawn was able to help me find my perfect wedding.

After 14 years and 2 kids, my partner Jason and I decided to get married. I googled getting married in BC and was given 2 options, Church sanctioned or Justice of the Peace. Since we are non denominational i read the info and was shocked at the daunting task of having to pick a Wedding Officiant out or a List of Herb"s, Leonard"s, and Earl's. I was not about to start calling around interviewing prospective old men about my non-traditional wedding. So I asked Jason if we could just elope, and we both immediately thought of Vegas. Due to lack of time and child-care I Googled "The Easiest Way to Get Married in Vancouver" and was offered Young Hip & Married as an option. We were Delighted with Lani Bruno and how sweet and confident she was. We were able to get married with a very small group of friends on Third Beach in Stanley Park on Valentine's Day. Having no Family attending, save the one I created with Jason, Lani felt like a big sister, and helped to keep me calm as we ran late waiting for the only woman I Would wait for, My Mother in Law, Della. I would highly recommend Young Hip and Married if you've been looking to get Married, not just throw a Wedding.

Bobbi did such an amazing job with our wedding ceremony. There is not enough words to describe how appreciative my husband and I are that Bobbi took the time and effort to get to know our story and personalize our vows. My husband and I were looking for an alternative to the traditional justice of the peace/church ceremony and Young Hip and Married was the prefect match for us! When I first viewed Bobbi’s profile I knew that she would be the prefect wedding commissioner for us! And I was 100% right. Even though we only had a few meetings with Bobbi, it is easy to tell that she is a beautiful person inside and out. We were super comfortable with her and able to open up and let her see the inner workings of our relationship. She was able to embody exactly who we were in our wedding ceremony. She brought fun and laughter, while capturing our hopeless romanticism. We want to thank her from the bottom of our heart!

My wife and I were married by Lani. She was incredible. Throughout the process of arranging our elopement style wedding Lani was incredibly helpful, responsive and accommodating. She was very good at listening to what we were and were not looking for, provided some excellent feedback and suggestions. We didn't meet her in person until the wedding day, but it was like we had known her for a long time. She was incredibly approachable, friendly and easy going - exactly what we needed. We had our wedding in a public place where we had to navigate some crowds, aim for good weather, and walk some trails to get to the ceremony location. While organizing this style of wedding I was really worried about having an officiant that would be difficult to work with in this type of setting. Lani was the exact opposite. She was excited with how we were doing our ceremony and was helping organize the crowds and setting. In the ceremony itself, she nailed it! She got exactly what we were looking for and her approach was very comforting and genuine. I have, and will continue to, recommend Lani to any of my friends. Thanks again!

We are about to leave for our destination wedding, but had our legal ceremony prior to our trip. It was easy to book and plan our ceremony. It was so much more than "just" a legal ceremony- the vows were a perfect fit for us, and the hand ceremony was truly heartfelt and made our ceremony very meaningful! Our officiant, Mark was very personable and professional- he made our day perfect!

This was so easy. Married in a brewery on the exact time for Pi day. And Shawn was so friendly and helpful. I will recommend them to any of my friends getting married.

I wanted a simple, small wedding. Something that was short and sweet. I had told them what I wanted and they delivered. I had some time changes and they did everything they could to accommodate me. They were awesome! Would recommend to anyone!
