Adventure weddings done RIGHT ⛷️💍

Ro + Jard understood the assignment… and then took it straight to the top of Whistler Mountain. What a way to close out ski season 🙌

From a stunning mountaintop ceremony to one epic celebration at the Cellar by Araxi, this day was off the charts. The kind of wedding that reminds you exactly why you do this.

Absolute dream couple, surrounded by the most fun, kind, up-for-anything crew of family + friends. Truly couldn’t have asked for a better day.

And major kudos to our photography + video team—because let’s be honest, skiing with all that gear is basically an Olympic sport 🎥🎿

Grateful for this one. Grateful for the team. Grateful for couples like these 👊

20 years. Two kids. One business I never gave up on.

A little re-introduction… 👋

Hi, I’m Rachael Lythe — and this year marks 20 years since I started Sea to Sky Celebrations back in 2006.
Honestly? I don’t know how I did it sometimes… except that I never give up.

When I started, I had two little boys, a big dream, and a lot of grit. Over two decades, I’ve learned that hard work pays off, but only if you’re willing to evolve. And wow — there have been so many cycles of change. Adapting is everything.

The last five years have easily been the most challenging, with the ongoing after-effects of the pandemic reshaping weddings as we knew them. But challenge also creates opportunity.

After the 2010 Olympics, I was proud to be the first wedding planner in Whistler to see the elopement trend coming. In 2015, I launched Whistler’s first all-inclusive elopement experiences:
✨ The Valley
✨ The Mountaintop
✨ The Helicopter Adventure
✨ The Slopes

The model quickly caught on — which told me I was onto something.

In 2019, I created an entirely new brand dedicated exclusively to elopements:
The Whistler Elopement Company.

Small weddings are here to stay — and I love seeing big celebrations return too 🤍

I’m a mum, entrepreneur, pianist, CrossFit-lover, skier, hiker, and beach enthusiast. Originally from New Zealand, living in Whistler for nearly 30 years — and now offering destination weddings in Puerto Vallarta, México 🌴

Endlessly grateful for the couples who’ve trusted me over the years — and excited for what’s still to come.

— Rachael

🌿 2026- a new year.

A new season of celebrations taking shape.
In 2026, weddings are becoming more intentional, more immersive, and more personal — with couples choosing experiences that feel meaningful, beautifully designed, and deeply their own.

We’re seeing a shift toward thoughtful details, elevated guest experiences, and celebrations that unfold with purpose rather than performance.

We can’t wait to share what’s ahead — and to continue creating weddings that feel grounded, refined, and unforgettable.

Here’s to a year of meaningful moments, beautifully planned.

✨This stunning Sri Lankan ceremony at was a celebration of love, heritage, and tradition. ✨

As a wedding planner with 20 years of experience—and a deep love of travel—I’ve been so fortunate to witness and help bring to life traditions from around the world. This celebration was no exception. From vibrant dancers to meaningful rituals, every moment was full of beauty and intention. 🌿

The couple chose to honour both a Western and Sri Lankan ceremony, reflecting the bride’s heritage in the most heartfelt way. I truly believe your wedding should be a reflection of you—your culture, your story, your love.

And there’s no better place to celebrate than lakeside at the breathtaking . 📍

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
To all our badass, beautiful brides who are:
• Already juggling snacks and timelines 🍿🕒
• Walking down the aisle with a baby bump or a toddler on their hip 🤰👶
• Planning both a wedding and a nursery 🍼💍
• Dog moms who made their pup the ring bearer 🐶💍
• Cat moms who had to lint-roll their gown 🐱🧼
• Or just dreaming of the day they’ll add “Mom” to their resume ✨

We see you. We celebrate you. We are in awe of you.

Being a bride is magical ✨
Being a mom is a superpower
Doing both? That’s next level.

So here’s to the multitaskers, the nurturers, the ones who plan everything — including the snacks for the car ride to the ceremony 🚗💒
You are love in its fiercest form ❤️

From all of us at Sea to Sky Celebrations —
Happy Mother’s Day, mamas (of humans and pets)!
You make the world (and the aisle) a better place.
