Megan
Co-Owner & Lead Planner
You can call me Meg!
For all you early birds, I’m your girl! I thrive in the quiet of the morning, and there’s something about the calm that helps me get things done. My productivity is at its peak when the world is still waking up, and I love using that energy to tackle everything with a fresh perspective.
As a bride-to-be myself (getting married this July—yay!), I get what you’re going through. I know what it's like to juggle the excitement, stress, and all the moving parts that come with wedding planning, and my goal is to make the process as seamless and enjoyable as possible for you.
Above all, I want my couples to feel like they are my only couple. I’m here to prioritize your needs, listen to your vision, and bring it to life with love, care and attention to detail. I genuinely love what I do, and I’m so thankful to call this my job – I can’t wait to help make your wedding day as beautiful and unforgettable as you’ve imagined!
Starting Sit Pretty Events was a true passion project, and watching it evolve into what it is today has been incredibly rewarding. What began as a simple idea—and a chair rental business—has transformed into something far beyond what I ever imagined. I’m so excited to see where the next few years will take us, and work with so many more amazing people!
Briana
Co-Owner & Lead Planner
Hello, I'm Bri!
Growing up in a big Italian family meant weekends were like one long wedding celebration. This environment fueled my love for hosting and turning ordinary gatherings into unforgettable experiences, especially themed parties – my absolute favourite!
I hold a diploma in Marketing and Event Management from BCIT and possess an extensive background in corporate sales, trade-shows, networking events, and hospitality management. My career has sharpened my communication and organizational skills, crucial when collaborating with various wedding vendors on a busy wedding day!
My event and hospitality background equips me to create seamless timelines with smooth (and sometimes unexpected) transitions – I am always adaptable and happy to accept any changes that may arise throughout your special day. Building effective relationships is also key to me. When working with my couples, I'm your biggest advocate, supporter, and negotiator, committed to making sure you, your family, and your friends feel supported throughout the entire planning process. I like to joke that for the next 10-12 months, I’m your new best friend!
When I'm not wedding planning, you can find me walking the Vancouver sea wall, trying a new soup recipe, or spending time with family and friends <3
A Few Fun Facts About Me:
- I have been in over 8 wedding parties
- Halloween is my favourite holiday - every year I host a spooktacular “Witches Brew” for my closest ghoulfriends - see what I did there ;)
- I started wedding planning for fun when a friend from high school asked for decorative assistance - I haven't looked back since! :)
- My friends call me J-Lo and bought me a bluetooth headset (yes, just like “The Wedding Planner”)-
Mairi
WEDDING SPECIALIST
Hello! I'm Mairi, originally from Edinburgh, Scotland but I have lived in Vancouver for the last 8 years.
I’ve had the privilege of being part of countless celebrations over the past 15+ years in the event industry, working across a variety of roles – from catering and bartending to project management, decor and furniture rental and venue management.
There's something about weddings that truly captures my heart. Each wedding is truly a unique journey and I absolutely love watching the transformation unfold – whether it’s turning an empty room into a vibrant, floral-filled wonderland or seeing a couple’s dream come to life in every carefully thought-out detail that has nods to their relationship throughout the day. When I'm not assisting at weddings, you can find me spending time with family and friends, playing disc golf and currently I am in the midst of planning my own multi-day wedding celebration, so I truly understand the excitement, joy (and a bit of stress...) that comes with such a monumental occasion!

Maria
WEDDING SPECIALIST
Hi, I'm Maria!
Here’s a little about me: I’m a huge dog lover and completely obsessed with my dog, Vince—he’s basically my sidekick. I’m also a Gilmore Girls enthusiast (Team Jess or Team Logan? I’m still not sure, but I’ll happily debate it with you anytime). My first glimpse into the magic of weddings was as a flower girl, and from that moment on, I was hooked.
Weddings and events have been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a big Greek family, we took any excuse to celebrate—whether it was a holiday, a birthday, or just because. That love for celebrations only grew when I planned my own wedding in 2023. It was a whirlwind of excitement, laughter, and yes, a few chaotic moments. Luckily, I thrive in those from my lengthy background in the hospitality industry—I’m no stranger to fast-paced environments and making sure everything runs smoothly. When it comes to weddings, I’m all about the personal details—they’re what truly make the day yours.
At the end of the day, I believe weddings are all about you—your love, your joy, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. I’d love to help make that happen for you.

Myrian
WEDDING SPECIALIST
Hello, I’m Myr!
I’m one of the Wedding Specialists at Sit Pretty Events. Those who know me will tell you that hosting is one of my favourite activities in the world. Be it a simple dinner or an elaborate birthday party, I don’t miss an opportunity to celebrate events with my friends and family. It brings me immense joy to partake in your celebration of love. It helps that I come from a huge Filipino family, so I am no stranger to big parties and events.
I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Interior Design from BCIT, and have explored a number of different careers before landing at Sit Pretty Events. I worked in construction, healthcare, and the hospitality industry where I contributed to numerous events and weddings. All of my experiences have culminated in the ability to problem-solve and adapt seamlessly - a trait that comes in handy during wedding days. Fun fact, I’ve been a maid of honour twice and I would do it again!
