About Jen + Ian
Jen and Ian Paterson, wedding coordinators based in Victoria BC.
Jen + Ian
We are Jen and Ian Paterson. Victoria, BC.
Jen works in operations. Tight timelines, moving parts, last-minute curveballs, that is the job on a weekday and on a wedding weekend.
Ian works in technology and operations. On wedding weekends he handles the logistics layer behind Jen, so there are two of us on site instead of one.
We built this after our own wedding. We were lucky to have friends and family who jumped in, but we still lost the morning to vendor texts and the evening to cleanup logistics. We wanted other couples to get both back.
Who we have worked with
Two coordinations so far, both in the Greater Victoria area:
- Sydney and her partner, Weekend Takeover
- Shawna and her partner, Weekend Takeover
Case studies and photos are coming once the couples’ photographers finalize their galleries. See the portfolio page for current status.
Where we work
Greater Victoria, the Saanich Peninsula, Sooke, and the Gulf Islands (Salt Spring, Pender, Galiano, Mayne). No surcharge for venues in that radius. Destinations beyond that, we are happy to quote a custom package.
Why this, why us
We are not florists, planners, or stylists. We are production. The couple hires us to own the Friday-to-Sunday execution so the creative and emotional work already done does not collapse under the weight of logistics on the day itself.
