Shawna Gray | Kelowna Wedding Planner
Luxury Kelowna Wedding Planner and Event Planning Specialist for corporate events in the Okanagan — thoughtfully designed and expertly executed to elevate both personal celebrations and professional gatherings.
Hi, I’m Shawna — your dedicated Kelowna wedding planner with 16 years of experience creating extraordinary events in the Okanagan Valley. Whether it’s a wedding or corporate event, I help busy professionals and couples plan seamless, impactful celebrations that leave lasting impressions.
From Hospitality to Kelowna's Premier Wedding Planner
My journey as a Kelowna wedding planner began in hospitality, where I learned that exceptional service is about creating moments that matter. In 2009, I founded White Orchid Weddings & Events here in beautiful Kelowna, BC, inspired by our breathtaking lakes, vineyards, and mountain views. There’s a reason locals call this “God’s Country.”
With my background in hospitality and event planning, I transitioned into the world of weddings and corporate events, bringing a calm, methodical approach to everything I do. My experience spans weddings of all styles, from intimate, personalized ceremonies to large, luxury events (as long as it reflects you!). I’ve also expanded my expertise into corporate event management, helping businesses host strategic conferences, team-building events, and high-profile gatherings.
Your Wedding Planning Experience, Elevated
With 16 years of experience as a Kelowna event planner, I ensure you feel calm, confident, and completely present for every moment. As both a Certified Wedding Consultant (WPICC) and Project Management Professional (PMP), I bring unmatched professionalism with genuine heart to your wedding planning journey.
400+ Celebrations and Counting
After more than 400 weddings, I’m still passionate about bringing each couple’s vision to life. As a naturally organized person, I handle every detail so you can focus on what matters most. I care deeply about every client I work with, building lasting relationships that extend far beyond your event day.
When I’m not planning stunning Kelowna events, I’m adventuring with my husband (together since we were 16!) and our 6-year-old son, we love to travel together. I’m fuelled by good coffee, have a serious macaron obsession, and love playing pickleball and volleyball in the gorgeous Okanagan outdoors.
