Safina & Joel
Envisioning a moody, old hollywood fall wedding; Safina and Joel hired me to bring the many moving aspects of their day together. Extensive logistics for floor plans, timelines and gameplans ensured all vendors were in the right place at the right time. Orchestrating a flip into the reception space during cocktail hour, their guests were wowed by the transformative atmosphere.

"We could not recommend Julia enough! She was a calming force. Julia is incredibly on top of things, her demeanour is very professional and she really helped keep my anxiety in check. She held everything together, and asked all the right questions to help us nail down the wedding of our dreams. She really went above and beyond for us. There were things I didn’t even realize she would help us with, and she handled them without us needing to think about it. The wedding day ran very smoothly, and we know that was all thanks to Julia. She will make your life and wedding planning infinitely easier."

Dallas & Andrew
Laid back Dallas and Andrew wanted a weekend in wine country with their guests to enjoy quality time and celebrate their love. A villa in the vines a short walk from their venue held the space for a welcome dinner and day after pool party in addition to their summerhill winery wedding.

"I keep telling everyone that the best investment of my wedding was hiring Julia She was extremely professional all while making me feel like she is my friend. I was confident she would get everything done, all while having our best interests at heart. Julia helped me deal with vendors and kept me calm when "the sky was falling" for a hot minute. Our meetings were detailed and she knew exactly what to ask us and helped us create a vision of our day. Julia is an absolute delight and I would 10000% recommend her to any person planning their special day."

Ashley & CJ
Planning a large wedding while being a travel nurse is no easy feat. Ashley and CJ hired me so they could relax knowing it was expertly handled. Design mockups and decor plans allowed them to easily visualize the look and feel of the day. Between mimosas and poker games I whisked them to the chapel for a run through of the ceremony morning of. Ashley and CJ wanted to dance their asses off, and we got them to the dancefloor calm, fed, and happy.

"Day By Drachenberg did such a phenomenal job, providing me with so much peace of mind during my big day! The only part that I hated about my wedding day was having to say Goodbye to these lovely Ladies! It's important to anticipate things not going as planned and when that happened for us, issues were handled quickly and quietly and I’m certain there are things that were fixed or corrected that I’ll never know about! I can’t sing high enough praises about Julia and her assistant Meegan. My family loved them as well, I’d do my wedding day all over again in a heartbeat!"

Kat & Shane
Spanning three venues, Kat and Shane's wedding had countless details and people to organize. While they attended cocktail hour at BNA and were screaming ABBA lyrics on the dancefloor; my team handled all of the scheduling and decor gameplans to ensure everything was set up to bring their vision to life and they could party till the end.
​
"Julia's team was an integral asset to our wedding. Julia was super responsive and ensured everything ran smoothly. Problem solving on the fly was a huge help! Many of the issues that came up throughout the day, we weren't even aware of until after she had dealt with it and sorted it out. From silencing protestors to grabbing limes when we ran out she made the day feel seamless. She was organized, detail oriented, and professional. She went above and beyond and allowed us to fully experience our wedding day without any stress."

Josephine & Parker
Wine connoisseurs Jo and Parker brought their friends and family to the vineyards of the Okanagan in a wedding all their own. A wine tasting tour the day before and foregoing a rehearsal; they wanted an upscale dinner party that turned into a scene on the dancefloor. I created a detailed timeline that gave them the time to just relax and lose themselves in the vines and wines between endless kisses. Their guests partied to the last song and even onto the shuttles.

"Julia is a delight to work with! Her detail oriented, no non-sense approach to planning allowed us to be so relaxed and enjoy our big day. She’s always just a text away and goes above and beyond. We loved working with her for her organization and expertise during planning."

Erin & Noel
"The only regret we have is not hiring Julia sooner! We are forever grateful for how flawlessly she executed our wedding and all of the planning pieces she supported us with. Julia's calm energy during what could have been a chaotic day was that long-time friend energy I needed. Her communication and organizational skills are impressive! She is authentic and attentive to her couple’s needs and aren’t afraid to advocate when required. Julia can read and review a contract with the best of them which proved to be beneficial to us unexpectedly. She captured some of our key moments without our knowledge and we will forever cherish these videos. If you are looking for a wedding planner you should look no further than Julia and her team!"
