“Productivity is never an accident. It is always a result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.”

— Paul J. Meyer

 

Who I Am

Wedding Planner, mom, and Okanagan lover – I’m all about creating unforgettable weddings that feel like you.

Experience That Speaks

From event rentals to bridal boutiques, I’ve worked in nearly every corner of the wedding industry since 2014. I started my own business in 2018 and haven’t looked back.

Okanagan Weddings

80% of my couples come from out of town, and I love showing them the magic of the Okanagan – mountains, vineyards, and lakeside views.

My Approach

Less is more: I focus on clean, sophisticated designs and seamless experiences that leave a lasting impact.

Work-Life Balance

With a growing family, I take on a limited number of weddings each year to stay fully present with my couples.

What Our Couples Are Saying

  • “Everything ran so smoothly, as her and her team were always working in the background to ensure everything was progressing on time and without any trouble. Herself and her team did an excellent job of setting up and taking down. Investing in Michelle’s knowledge and expertise was one of the best investments for our wedding, and I cannot recommend her services enough.”

  • “On the wedding day, our vendors and a number of our guests commented on how professional and wonderful she was. Michelle executed the wedding day coordination so well that if anything went wrong on the wedding day, I still don’t know about it and I think that’s so great.”

  • “Everything happened as I pictured, and I could have not asked for anything more. If you are thinking of hiring a wedding planner it is 100% worth every dollar, I strongly recommend Michelle.”

  • “She completely relieved all the stress related to the planning process, helped us execute our exact vision (without us being able to actually describe it in words), ensured we got the full value from every vendor and the venue and most of all provided amazing expertise that took our wedding to a whole other level of perfection that we would not have been able to achieve on our own.”

    - Nicole & Julien

  • “She helped take the vision we had of our wedding, and turn it into something better than we could have ever imagined. My wife and I are from the lower mainland and it was important to us to have a planner who knows the Kelowna market, along with having the right connections to all the vendors.”

    - Anna & Marc

  • “Hire her. Right now! If I have any advice for couples it’s hire Michelle Goodwin for your wedding. You don’t need a wedding planner, you need THIS wedding planner…”
