The best planner on the island. Made everything so easy and came our perfect

Radhika and her team and by far the best on the island. My wife and I are from the states and planned this destination wedding so her family can come. I was terrified this would turn into a disaster because I've only been to Vancouver Island once for business. Thankfully we had Radhika helping us every step of the way. She made it feel so easy when all of our friends were saying they struggled just to put on a local wedding and all their family lived nearby. Radhika completely understood what we were looking for and made it happen perfectly. We and all of our guests had an amazing time and everyone is still talking about how we had the perfect fairy tale wedding. Radhika is such an amazing, kind, sweet person and we are so grateful that we were able to get to know her and plan a wedding together.

Rad Wedding Review

Rad is absolutely amazing at her job. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for any sort of coordinator for your wedding. From the beginning Rad was extremely easy to get ahold of - that did not change throughout the whole process. Anytime I had a question Rad was there to answer it or suggest something even better. She is super organized and will ask you questions you wouldn’t even think of but are 100% necessary to make your day perfect. Rad is so good that I even had other vendors reach out to me commenting on how her organization made their jobs that much easier! I was totally stressed out the day before the wedding and Rad jumped in to handle everything and anything that I needed. My wedding day was absolutely perfect with no issues (that I was aware of anyway). I can’t thank Rad enough for making my wedding day such a success.

Couldn't have done it without her!

I had the absolute privilege of working with Radhika Kahn of Rad Occasions, when I was beyond lucky to have won the Victoria Modern Bride package last year. We had Radhika's help for the month leading up to the wedding, but she'd also kept in great communication over the year of- and I am SO grateful we had her help! Honestly I'm not well organized on even my best days, and I'd left so many boxes unticked near the final months, and Radhika kept so cool and gently guided me the whole way. She works incredibly well with others, and has a keen eye for the littlest details. She ensured that absolutely nothing was missed, tied up all our loose ends and helped with so many odd jobs on top of her own general responsibilities. I felt so much less stressed knowing I could count on her to assist with any and all concerns! Our wedding day went way smoother than we'd ever imagined, my husband and I joked about how easy everything was falling into place- and IF anything didn't go to plan, we definitely never knew about it :) She truly made the planning-to-wedding process simple, sweet, and seamless! Will recommend again and again.

The perfect wedding

Having Radhika help with the planning and coordinating was the best decision we made. She took away all of the stress and made the whole planning process and wedding day enjoyable.

No stress day

Radhika made the day so much easier! Nothing to worry about, she made sure everything was on schedule and correct. Having someone who knows the other vendors, as well as all the little things that can be missed, made it a seamless day.

Rad is the BESST

Rad was absolutely amazing and professional from day one of working with her. She was our day-of coordinator for our wedding at the Prestige Hotel in Sooke and went above and beyond to make our day easy for us. Firstly, she was so speedy in email correspondence and provided a great complementary first meeting (where of course I knew immediately that I HAD to have her for our day). We also had two other meetings - a month before and two weeks before to iron out all the details. Having her kept me organised in planning the big day (she really does think of all the little details). She set up and took down all our decorations so all we had to do was drop them off and pick them up. On the actual day of she was totally there to take care of everything. We had an incident where one of our entrees for the dinner was missing and I passed it off to her to work with the venue to deal with the situation. As I had her to help sort it out, I got to continue on with my night without stress. Rad's services are worth every penny and she works hard to earn every cent!

Rad really allowed us to relax and feel assured that everything was going to be okay! Her services are worth every penny. Our parents and us were able to sit and enjoy the day instead of making sure we were on time and had everything in its place. Thank you Radhika!!

Hiring Rad is an absolute must! Radhika was with us every step of the way and her services are priceless. We developed a strong bond with her over the 18 or so months (!) of planning our wedding and we would not have changed a thing. She is a professional in every aspect of wedding planning.

I can't even begin to say how amazing Rad is. She was so attentive from beginning to end; dealing with all of the set up, caterers, rental companies, crazy family, etc. Weddings are stressful, and having someone as professional, kind, attentive, creative, and helpful as Rad around on your special day is so worth it.
Thank you so much for all of your help Rad. You are an amazing woman :)

Radhika (Rad) Graham
Radhika (Rad) Graham
Founder, Creative Director, & Lead Planner

Hello, my name is Radhika (Rad for short). I began working in the wedding industry almost a decade ago. After working just a handful of weddings, I knew this was the business for me. In 2015, I founded my own company and it’s been an amazing journey ever since. In just a few short years, my passion for making memorable wedding events has evolved into a full-service company that I now run with my team of five, including my husband, Rob. As a certified planner and a lifelong romantic, I pride myself on going the extra mile for the couples I work with – whether it’s folding 500+ paper cranes before a ceremony or running Olympic sprints in heels to save bouquets from stormy weather. It’s all part of being a Rad wedding planner.

Favourite Things: eating a delicious piece of wedding cake, beautifully written vows, & spending time as a family whether it be checking out the newest restaurant or strolling the Songhees Walkway

Wedding Day Assistant

Rob joined the team in 2017 and is affectionately known as ‘The Muscle’ as he can often be found lugging many of the heavier items on wedding days. He is also the brains behind any carefully drawn out floor plan whether it be at a hotel or a private property. He grew up on Denman Island with his parents, brother, and their family dog, Woof. He and Rad were married in 2019 in a wedding that literally took everyone by surprise.

Favourite Things: playing soccer, a delicious glass of whiskey, and dance parties in the living room with our little one
