Who We Are
We are a boutique event design company in Vancouver, BC, known for transforming blank spaces into extraordinary environments. Specializing in high-end weddings, corporate events, and experiential brand activations, we are passionate about creating immersive experiences with bold concepts, sophisticated design, and exceptional attention to detail.
Whether it's a candlelit wedding beneath suspended blooms or a branded corporate launch dripping in modern luxury, we bring creative visions to life through thoughtful design, technical expertise, and seamless execution.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a creative, motivated, and detail-oriented Junior Event Designer & Production Coordinator to join our growing team.
This is an exciting chance for someone looking to build a career in event design and production, working directly alongside our Senior Event Design & Production Lead.

We are looking for someone who has a natural creative eye but is equally interested in understanding the technical and logistical side of event production. Someone who wants to learn not only how to design beautiful events, but also how to translate those designs into detailed, executable plans and bring them to life.
You will be an integral part of the design and production team, contributing to projects from the initial creative concept through installation and final execution.
