Janine Cumberland
Owner, Lead Planner - Paradox Tents & Events and Enchanted Florist
WPIC Regional Representative
Janine is a whirlwind of talent, adventure, and zest for life! From running her own wedding and event rental business and it's sister company Enchanted Florist & Design Co., to having her own fishing charter, River Otter Sports Fishing, she’s no stranger to balancing business with fun. As a licensed boat captain and WPIC-certified wedding planner and regional representative (with a specialty in destination weddings and what a better place the the sunny Okanagan), Janine knows how to steer any event to success—whether it's on land or sea!
But it doesn’t stop there—Janine’s also a proud gold miner, with 19 gold leases across the province. When she’s not searching for treasure, she’s competing in international fishing tournaments like the Bisbees and Van Wormer’s in Mexico. A world traveler who loves cruise life and deep-sea fishing, Janine’s seen the globe from the deck of a boat.
With a passion for mentorship, she’s been a Woman Mentor in Business in the Forum for Women’s Achievements since 2014, and serves as the President of SOSBIS. Janine’s also a Director for the Penticton Chamber and the SS Sicamous Heritage Museum, as well as the Museum Director for Empower Penticton. She’s worked at BC Hydro, as an air artist, and she thrives on facilitating workshops to teach others.
Janine is all about enjoying the finer things in life—wine, wings, and pizza—with her two birds, Kermit and Tweedy, and her golden retriever, Rosie, by her side. Oh, and don’t forget her nickname, Gold Dust, because she’s always turning life’s moments into golden memories
Whether planning your dream wedding or creating unforgettable experiences, Janine is ready to make your event shine with her signature bubbly, fun, and witty style!
“THANK YOU! We appreciate all of the work that went behind the big day. It wouldn’t have happened without the two of you!
Thank you for making our vision come true!”
Katie Campbell
Wedding & Event Planner
With over 7 years in the events industry, Katie brings a perfect mix of organization, creativity, and quick thinking to every celebration. Her path to planning was a natural evolution after years in hospitality and finance, where she developed a keen eye for detail and a love for bringing people together.
Katie’s favourite part of the job? Seeing everyone happy—and, of course, the food! She’s always ready for the unexpected (armed with Tide to Go, zip ties, and hairspray), and is the calm in the chaos when things don’t go quite to plan. One unforgettable moment? Watching the clouds part and sunlight hit the mountain just as a couple said “I do”—pure magic.
Fun, kind, and determined, Katie dreams of planning a wedding in Greece and can belt out more Disney songs than most adults dare to admit. When she’s not on-site with a Booster Juice in hand, you’ll find her unwinding with a well-earned glass of red wine.
Ariel Aldred
Wedding & Event Planner
Ariel brings over six years of wedding and event industry magic to our team!
With a background rooted in Vancouver’s vibrant event scene, she thrives on crafting unique décor concepts that push creative boundaries. When she’s not dreaming up dazzling designs, you’ll find her dancing, swimming, or adventuring with her son and their little pup.
Now that she has settled in the beautiful South Okanagan, she’s excited to turn our clients’ dream events into unforgettable realities!
