Creating Extraordinary Events. Exploring Extraordinary Places.
Meet Janine — entrepreneur, creative visionary, world traveller and the driving force behind Paradox Events, a wedding and event planning company based in beautiful Penticton, British Columbia.
With a passion for creating unforgettable experiences and a love for adventure, Janine brings creativity, expertise and a personal touch to every celebration she plans.
As a WPIC-certified wedding planner and destination wedding specialist, Janine combines professional planning expertise with an eye for design and a genuine love of bringing people together. From luxury Okanagan vineyard weddings and elegant corporate galas to romantic destination weddings in Greece, Mexico and beyond, she believes every event should tell a story and reflect the people behind it.
More Than a Planner — An Experience Creator
As the founder of Paradox Events and Enchanted Florist & Design Co., Janine understands how every element of an event comes together — from planning and logistics to florals, décor, rentals and the overall guest experience.
Her approach is creative, collaborative and refreshingly down-to-earth. Whether coordinating an intimate celebration, designing a sophisticated corporate event or planning a wedding halfway around the world, Janine believes exceptional events should feel effortless, personal and anything but ordinary.
A Passport Full of Inspiration
Janine's love of travel and adventure is as much a part of her personality as her passion for events.
A licensed boat captain and owner of River Otter Sport Fishing, she's just as comfortable navigating the water as she is managing a wedding day. From competing in international fishing tournaments in Mexico to exploring destinations around the globe, she draws inspiration from the places, cultures and experiences she encounters.
And yes, she's also a gold miner, with 11 gold leases throughout British Columbia. Her adventurous spirit and nickname, Gold Dust, reflect her belief that life is meant to be explored, celebrated and enjoyed.
Experience, Leadership & a Passion for People
Beyond event planning, Janine has dedicated years to entrepreneurship, mentorship and community leadership.
As a WPIC Regional Representative and a longtime mentor through The Forum, she has supported fellow entrepreneurs and wedding industry professionals in building their confidence, creativity and businesses.
Her diverse background in business ownership, leadership, creative design and event production brings a unique perspective to every project.
Life Is Meant to Be Celebrated
When she's not designing events, exploring new destinations or out on the water, Janine enjoys the simple pleasures — great wine, good food, spontaneous adventures and time with her golden retriever, Rosie, and her two birds, Kermit and Tweedy.
Whether it's an intimate wedding overlooking the Okanagan vineyards, a luxury celebration on a Greek island or a corporate experience that breaks all the rules, Janine believes the most memorable moments are the ones that feel truly personal.
Because the best events aren't just planned. They're experienced.

“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!”
Paradox Events was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Janine came to us with creative ideas for setup and offered pricing at different levels, which made budgeting simple and stress-free. She was flexible and responsive throughout, easily accommodating last-minute changes - including setup on a second stage.
Our theme was harvest, and Janine went above and beyond, reaching out to our preferred local farmers to secure fresh, local produce for the displays. She took full ownership of the vision, and it showed. Our guests were consistently impressed by the final result and the care put into every finishing touch.
We wholeheartedly recommend Janine and Paradox Events to anyone planning an event!
