DIY Wedding Playbook
Plan Your Wedding Your Way
Not every couple wants (or needs) a full-service wedding planner — but every couple deserves clear guidance, confidence, and calm while planning their wedding.
That’s exactly why we created the DIY Wedding Playbook.
Built by Brian & Kristen of Vancouver Officiant, this free online resource is designed to help couples plan a meaningful, intentional wedding — without overwhelm, pressure, or unnecessary expense.
Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony, a backyard celebration, or a thoughtfully scaled wedding day, the DIY Wedding Playbook gives you the tools to make informed decisions — your way.
What Is the DIY Wedding Playbook?
The DIY Wedding Playbook is a step-by-step online planning guide that walks you through the most important elements of your wedding — from big-picture decisions to practical details.
Inside, you’ll find guidance on:
Choosing the right venue (and why it matters most)
Understanding wedding timelines & priorities
Navigating legal requirements in British Columbia
Budget-conscious planning tips
Ceremony-first thinking (because the ceremony sets the tone)
How to plan confidently — even without a planner
It’s not about doing everything yourself — it’s about knowing what matters, when it matters, and where to focus your energy.
Who Is This For?
The DIY Wedding Playbook is perfect for couples who:
Want to be intentional with their wedding budget
Are planning without a full-service planner
Feel overwhelmed by conflicting wedding advice
Want clarity without pressure or sales tactics
Believe the ceremony should feel personal and meaningful
If you’ve ever thought “There has to be a simpler way to plan this” — you’re in the right place.
How This Connects With Vancouver Officiant
The DIY Wedding Playbook was created as an educational resource to help couples everywhere plan with intention and confidence. Because it serves couples internationally, it focuses on planning guidance rather than officiating laws specific to one location.
In British Columbia and across Canada, wedding ceremonies must be performed by a properly licensed officiant or marriage commissioner. Friends or family members are not legally permitted to officiate on their own.
If you love the idea of having a friend or family member lead your ceremony, we offer our Signature Script Experience — where your chosen person can guide the ceremony while a licensed Vancouver Officiant handles the legal requirements behind the scenes.
Many of our couples use the DIY Wedding Playbook alongside our officiant services to:
Make smarter planning decisions
Understand what truly matters (and what doesn’t)
Reduce stress leading up to the ceremony
Arrive at their wedding day calm, present, and ready
It’s guidance — not pressure.
Support — not overwhelm.
