My name is Michelle, I am one of the founding members and the Lead Event Manager with JEM Events. I’ve always had a passion for creating unique and beautiful experiences. This passion led me to graduate from BCIT in 2013 with an Associate Certificate in Marketing Management with a focus on Event Marketing and Event Planning. Implementing my education through four years of practical experience as an event bar manager and a later position as a special events assistant coordinator at a popular berry farm and estate winery in the Fraser Valley. Armed with a competitive education, a wide variety of experiences, and a naturally detail-oriented mindset, I joined the event coordination team at a Premier Country Club in January of 2018. As a professional wedding specialist, I believe the key to creating a one-of-a-kind lifetime event is through the support I give to clients from the beginning to the end of an event. Keeping in mind their vision of their special day, but providing them with the tools and inspiration to do so. We all faced challenges throughout the year 2020 and we started to think about what could we do to bring back events to BC. JEM Events was envisioned to bring you back to being a guest at your own event rather than stressing over the details. Let us put together your event that will make memories that last a lifetime!

Hello! My name is Narisa! It is my pleasure to be part of your special day! I have a background in Business Management with BCIT, and extensive customer service experience in recreation, administration and food and beverage. I am part of an incredibly talented team of strong, fearless women. What I enjoy most about weddings is seeing firsthand the beautiful cultural diversity that surrounds the joy of marriage. Every couple has something special and unique about them, and I think that in and of itself is worth celebrating. I truly believe this is one of the most serene venues in the lower mainland, and I am blessed to call this place home. I can't wait to meet you! I will be with you every step of the way, from our very first meeting to sending you down the aisle. This is your moment, and together we will bring your dream to life!

In my spare time I love getting outdoors with my partner, spending time with our families, and admittedly “marathoning” Lord of the Rings.

Hi! My name is Sam

I have been planning events and parties for as long as I can remember, and have spent the last 10 years directing and managing at a performing arts academy. Through that, I have planned several community events and performances and honed my organizational skills to be completely detail oriented while still staying true to the vision and feel of the event. As your day of coordinator, I will be there every step of the way to help you plan every moment and ensure your wedding runs smooth and stress free.

In my spare time, you can find me plotting my next travel adventure! I also enjoy reading and cooking.
