MEET YOUR WHISTLER WEDDING PLANNER

Whistler-based planner. Obsessively organized. Calm under pressure. Here to make your wedding feel easy, intentional, and fun.

Hi, I’m Kathryn

I didn’t originally set out to become a wedding planner. When I moved to Whistler in 2016 from a marketing career, my plan was to take a break from agency life and spend some time in the mountains while figuring out my next chapter.

What I found instead was an unexpected career in events. I joined Bliss Event and immediately fell in love with the precision and artistry of luxury wedding planning. From there, I became the Events Manager at Nita Lake Lodge, where I coordinated over 70 weddings each year and built deep relationships with Whistler's entire wedding community, from venue managers to florists to every rental company in the Sea-to-Sky corridor.

In 2024, I launched Kathryn Grayston Weddings to bring the same level of expertise and meticulous attention to detail.

You work directly with me from consultation to wedding day. No handoffs, no surprises, just comprehensive planning from someone who genuinely loves creating order out of complexity.

Fun Facts

Favourite Whistler Season: Summer. I love swimming in Whistler’s local lakes and biking on the trails.

Coffee Order: Dirty Chai Latte

Guilty Pleasure: Watching Love is Blind on Netflix.

Weekend Activity: Exploring Whistler's restaurant scene.

Wedding Planning Pet Peeve: When couples apologize for having opinions about their own wedding. It's your day, have all the opinions!

How I Work

Detail-Obsessed

I'm the planner who creates spreadsheets, triple-checks vendor contracts, and builds minute-by-minute timelines.

Calm Under Pressure

Wedding days are emotional, exciting, and occasionally chaotic. I'm the steady presence who keeps everything running smoothly while you focus on celebrating with the people you love. No stress, no drama, just seamless execution.

Decisive & Direct

I'll guide you through decisions with honest feedback and practical solutions. If something won't work logistically, I'll tell you and offer three alternatives that will. You'll never wonder where you stand or what's happening next.

WHY WHISTLER

Whistler isn't just where I work. It's my home.

I chose this mountain town because of the dramatic landscapes, the incredible hospitality community, and the unique energy that comes with planning celebrations in one of the world's most beautiful destinations.

Planning a Whistler wedding requires understanding:

How seasonal weather impacts outdoor ceremonies and photo locations
Where to find the best mountain backdrops within minutes of your venue
Which local vendors are reliable, creative, and easy to work with

This insider knowledge makes all the difference between a good wedding and an unforgettable one.

K & T’s cocktail reception was all about movement, flavour, and connection. With interactive food stations in place of a plated dinner, guests wandered, mingled, and shared each culinary experience together. Fresh pasta and caviar bumps were the undeniable stars of the night.
