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!”
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!
Janine and her team would be thrilled to assist you throughout the entire event planning process - from theme choices and venue locations to timeline development and vendor selection.
