A Small Wedding In Vancouver
A Love Story That Started At A Wedding
Jocelyn and Dale’s story began just like theirs ended—at a wedding! Jocelyn first noticed Dale while he was setting up to DJ at the Pinnacle Hotel. She offered him water (which he declined!), and the rest, as they say, is history. Their relationship is built on mutual support, laughter, and a deep understanding of each other—like their running joke about Dale being the ultimate "passenger princess" while Jocelyn drives.
Why They Chose a Small, Stress-Free Wedding
"We both wanted something easy and stress-free," Jocelyn shared. That’s why they fell in love with Brix & Mortar, a stunning downtown Vancouver venue known for its charming courtyard ceremony space and all-inclusive ease. Dale, a seasoned wedding DJ, had worked at the venue before and knew it would be the perfect fit—no outside vendors, no last-minute chaos, just a seamless, beautiful day.
The Venue: Romantic & Effortless
The courtyard at Brix & Mortar was the star of the show, offering a classic, romantic setting under the open sky. Jocelyn adored the intimate vibe, and their courtyard couple’s photos perfectly captured the magic of the space.
Food and drinks were another highlight—guests could choose between salmon, chicken, or pasta (Jocelyn wished she had time to try them all!). The couple mingled, laughed, and soaked in every moment without the stress of coordinating multiple vendors.
The Most Memorable Moments
Walking Down the Aisle: Jocelyn’s favourite moment was having her dad escort her to Dale, waiting under the courtyard’s twinkle lights.
A Touching Tribute: An unexpected but deeply moving moment came when her uncle held a framed photo of Jocelyn’s mom at the end of the aisle—ensuring she was part of the day.
The Chaotic (But Amazing) Money Dance: The after-party brought wild, joyful energy, with a money dance that had everyone laughing and celebrating.
Their Best Piece of Advice for Future Couples
Looking back, Jocelyn and Dale agree: "We’re so glad we prioritized what truly mattered—being surrounded by the people who love and support us." Their biggest takeaway? A small wedding in Vancouver doesn’t mean sacrificing meaning; it means focusing on the moments and people that make your love story unique. Whether it’s choosing a venue that handles the details (like Brix & Mortar) or leaving room for spontaneous joy (hello, money dance chaos!), their advice is simple: Plan for ease, and the magic will follow.
