What Sea To Sky Celebrations, Whistler Bc does

Sea to Sky Celebrations is a Whistler, British Columbia-based wedding and event planning company founded in 2006 by Rachael Lythe. The firm delivers full-service wedding planning, day-of coordination, micro weddings, and bespoke design and décor services to couples planning destination weddings in Whistler, the Sea to Sky corridor, Pemberton, and Vancouver, with a 2025 expansion into Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. It also operates a sister brand, The Whistler Elopement Company (created 2019), which sells four tiered all-inclusive elopement packages priced between $6,500 and $9,500.

The company's core technology stack is non-technical: the offering is built on in-house décor inventory, established vendor relationships across Whistler hotels, venues, photographers, florists, and caterers, and a custom wedding planning guide delivered to clients upon booking. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the seatoskycelebrations.com website (with pricing gated behind a VIP registration wall), email inquiry, Calendly consultation booking, and inbound referrals from venue and vendor partners. The firm is privately held, founder-owned, and has a stated headcount of 1-10 employees, with a minimum of two and typically three or more planners deployed on-site for each wedding. The business is currently booking weddings for 2026 and 2027 and has no external investors, patents, or AI/technology platform disclosed.
