Filosophi Events

Wow, I am at a loss for words when it comes to Erin and the team at Filosophi Events. Everyone says how stressful planning a wedding can be but we strongly disagree.Bobby and I had so much fun planning the perfect day built for us. While Erin did all the heavy lifting, we got to sit back and see everything come together. She made the whole experience exciting. I could not wait for our next call or chat to go over what was next on the agenda. And at the end of the day isn’t that how it should be. Erin and her team at Filosophi made it a breeze. It was easy to get excited about every detail of the day to come. The countdown was on and we could not wait!We flew out from Toronto to Whistler, a place very special to us, where we got engaged and had been on many ski trips. We had never been out in the summer time, but Erin and her team made sure we had the best of the best from the venue, food, music, flowers. She had everything running smoothly so that Bobby and I could just zone everything out and enjoy our week together with our friends and family. I cannot thank Filosophy Events enough you guys are the real deal and I hope we get to plan something with you guys again soon!Love Bobby & Chelsea

I am a wedding photographer and a very particular person, and Filosophi (specifically Shirley, our lead planner) was absolutely incredible. Coordinating a wedding is a tough job and Shirley made sure everything went smoothly without a hitch. She answered my many questions, met with me several times, was in constant communication about every detail, was well experienced with vendors and the events of the day, and had a great eye for detail. My mom was particularly impressed with how everything they set up was packed perfectly back where it was found. My husband and I had an amazing and fun day because we didn't have to worry about anything; it was all taken care of! If we were to do it again we would hire them every time!

When Lisa and I started planning our wedding at Sonora Resort in BC, we didn't think we needed a wedding planner and that we could manage" it all ourselves. The resort however required us to have a planner as they had limited capacity to manage all the events and needs. They referred us to Filosophi and Erin Bishop which in retrospect was the best thing that could have happened. We immediately knew we were in good hands from the first introduction to Erin. Erin is an entrepreneur at heart and is in relentless pursuit of providing the highest level of service. She took a personal interest in our wedding planning and quickly identified all the things that needed to happen to pull of an amazing event. We had no idea what we had gotten ourselves into having a remote wedding in Canada while living in France. I can honestly say in the year of planning there was not a moment I was worried or concerned about Erin making our wedding a special and amazing event. She managed all the interactions with the resort

My husband and I worked with Shirley Glua from Filosophi who assisted with takeover planning, as well as event design, for our recent wedding in my childhood backyard (Ceremony) and the Polygon Gallery (reception) in August. Shirley was an absolute superstar! From the get go, she had calls with us to clearly outline the takeover process and walk through what information we needed to have ready/booked for when she would takeover later in the summer. She also had the most phenomenal decor/design ideas of the wedding, which showcased a very clear understanding of our design inspiration from our pinterest board and conversations we had related to what we were looking for. As we neared our wedding day, Shirley was very communicative in responding to our many (sorry!) emails, and got on the phone with us as needed to discuss relevant details as we were planning our BC wedding from Toronto. She made us feel great about what we had planned and how ready we were and once the wedding day arrived everything went off without a hitch! We are so incredibly pleased with how everything flowed logistically and the ending decor design at both venues were perfect and exactly what we had envisioned. It was such a pleasure working with Shirley and her team - they are true experts in what they do, which is evidenced by how well everything went to make our day exactly how we had dreamed. Thank you SO much to Shirley and Filosophi for making our day so perfect!

Erin is known as the best for a reason. She is the perfect planner making the day-of go smoothly, and makes sure everything is running perfectly so you can relax and enjoy the day. She is extremely knowledgable and will always advocate for her clients. She's patient, easy going and a joy to work with. If you can, hire her for your wedding, best investment you'll make.

My husband and I were lucky enough to work with Erin and Filosophi to fully plan our wedding in of June, 2022. Needless to say, hiring Erin was one of the best decisions we made! She was invaluable in the planning and execution of our wedding.Erin had the best information about all of our vendors, and tirelessly worked to come up with suggestions that captured us as a couple. What’s more, we really felt that she suggested vendors we would connect with as people and add to the experience of our day.Erin was always available to answer my (many, many) questions. We had a small, intimate wedding, and I felt we really had her undivided attention and support. Her creativity is unparallelled, and she elevated our ideas for the wedding and made them a reality.The wedding day itself could not have gone more smoothly. Erin and her team had every detail covered. My husband and I were both able to fully enjoy our day with our loved ones without worrying about a thing. We could not be more grateful for Erin and Filosophi for such a meaningful day!

My wife and I are wedding photographers and have worked with Filosophi on heaps of weddings over the years. First and foremost they have their $hit together! Organized, creative, passionate and attentive. We know from working with them behind the scenes that they have the training, knowledge and skill set to execute the hell out of a wedding. It's no surprise they pick up an award or two every year at the BC Wedding Awards Gala for planning and designing the best weddings. We've worked with Erin, Shirley, Margaux, Rebecca and Kira personally and could not recommend them more. If your goal is to enjoy your wedding and know your friends and family are taken care of, these are your girls! - Jeff and Catp.s. we added some photographs from a wedding we did together with Shirley!!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Katie on a lovely, intimate winter wedding in Calgary, Ab in January. The ceremony was held outdoors at a private residence with the reception at a trendy local restaurant.Katie had a beautiful vision for the day and was kind, collaborative and a joy to work with. She was also quick to answer emails and questions I had and provided excellent communication throughout the planning process.I highly recommend Filosophi Events!Janelle Gerestein| Owner Flowers by Janie Inc.

We worked with Margaux from Filosophi Events to plan our wedding in December 2021 and it was the best decision we ever made. The months leading up to the wedding were so stressful and the covid restrictions were changing every couple weeks. Margaux always put us at ease and helped us put together a few different plans depending on what the restrictions would be the day of the wedding. She really went above and beyond. We gave her feedback on what we wanted the flowers and decor to look like and she sourced everything for us so quickly and it turned out even better than what we imagined. On the day of the wedding, she helped us organize all of the vendors and kept everything on schedule so we didnt have to worry about a single thing. I've worked with Filosophi before on several events and they truly are the best in Vancouver. Erin, Margaux and the Filosophi team are all so kind, creative and easy to work with. I can't recommend Filosophi more!

What can we say about Erin and her team of talented, lovely, brilliant associates and assistants? My team and I have had the pleasure of working with Vancouver wedding planners Filosophi on numerous weddings over the years. Time and time again, we’ve been blown away by the creativity of each celebration, the relaxed vibes of our couples (no doubt thanks to all the heavy lifting Erin and her team put into each event), and the comfort in knowing every vendor is acknowledged and taken care of. We always feel fully supported when going into each Filosophi wedding: from having a detailed, intuitive schedule to the trust Erin and her team has in us to provide our services (photography and cinema) to our couples. You want Erin and her team in your corner when it comes to all this wedding planning business: highly capable and organized humans who genuinely care.
