JENNY McALPINE

OWNER/PRINCIPAL PLANNER 

Jenny McAlpine Events and Weddings

I truly have a dream job – I love what I do, the incredible people I work with, and the beautiful places I get to work in. I’m passionate about celebrations, bringing people together, and bringing ideas to life through the art of thoughtful planning.

I was born and raised in Auckland, New Zealand, a daughter of professional photographer parents, in a family home of extraverts, who loved nothing more than entertaining, connecting people, and providing a happy haven for family, friends, and strangers alike. I grew up on kindness, hard-work, empathy, and with a mission to do something I love.

I provide a calm, professional, and truly personal approach to event and wedding planning. I want the months and days leading up to your celebration to be just as joyful in your memory as the big day itself.

With extensive experience in planning and managing events of all kinds, I bring a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and meticulous care to every project. In the 25 years I’ve lived in Kelowna, I’ve built strong connections with the Okanagan Valley’s most respected and talented event and wedding professionals. These trusted collaborators share my values and priorities, working closely with me to bring your unique vision to life.

I look forward to supporting and guiding you through the planning process, ensuring an unforgettable experience for both you and your guests.

“Jenny is an absolute MUST for anyone planning their wedding in the Okanagan! She provides a professional, genuinely caring, and fun experience that took all of the stress and anxiety inherent in wedding planning out of our hands. She is an absolute treat to work with! She has a multitude of vendor connections to call upon and is an expert in tailoring her recommendations to suit your specific vision or needs. She’s highly regarded and respected by all vendors and venue management and made navigating this complex industry a breeze. She is a wonderfully helpful advocate for you in whatever needs arise. She gave us the perfect wedding of our dreams that we will remember forever.”

“We cannot say enough about our experience planning our wedding with Jenny. She is absolutely incredible at what she does and every vendor we hired (with her help!) said the exact same thing about her! She is organized, kind, efficient, and truly has her couples’ best interests at heart.”
