Co-Owner, Certified Wedding & Event Coordinator, Décor Specialist

Hello, My name is Trina. I am a Wedding and Event Planner based out of Ladysmith BC, located on breathtaking Vancouver Island. I have been coordinating weddings and events for four years. In 2018 I took the steps to become fully certified and graduated from Vancouver Island University with my Event Management Certificate. I worked as a Bridal Consultant at Bliss Gowns & Events helping brides find their dream gowns, and that's were it happened, I fell in love with weddings! My love for people, organization, creativity and turning a vision into a reality are just some of the reasons event planning and décor is what I was born to do. Helping people achieve their happiness is one of my many passions, and there is something truely magical about being able to create a couple's perfect vision for their day! In my free time you will find me with my three adventurous children and my amazingly supportive husband. There is nothing like going on a road trip, hiking a new trail or checking our a new restaurant.

Founder, Co-Owner, Certified Wedding & Event Coordinator, Décor Specialist

My name is Braeja. I am a Certified Event and Wedding Planner on beautiful Vancouver Island. I first found my love for wedding planning nine years ago when I helped plan my sister-in-law's wedding. I instantly knew event and wedding planning was the path for me, as it combined my love for both creating and organizing! Before launching Shaping Memories, I worked as a Wedding Planner and a Bridal Consultant with Bliss Gowns & Events. I decided to start Shaping Memories so I could help bring my lovely couples dream weddings come to life, from start to finish! When I'm not busy planning weddings or events, you can find me spending time with my beautiful toddler, my not-so-little puppy, and my amazing husband! One of my other passions is doing theatre at Schmooze Productions - either stage managing, acting, dancing or singing!
