A new survey suggests wedding industry revenue could reach $1.5 billion in B.C. this year.

After two years of strict limitations on marriage celebrations, B.C.'s wedding industry has returned, surpassing pre-COVID levels.

"It's amazing right now. It's non-stop: weddings every weekend, even weekdays too. So the demand for weddings is definitely increasing. It could be from the build-up... from the last two, three years," says Lau. "Vancouver people's family is from all over the world. We noticed there are cancellations like last minute because people will just say, 'I cannot make it there.' And the flights aren't flying there. And so we still have challenges lingering from COVID."

Lau isn't alone in being flexible when providing wedding celebration services with COVID-19 still causing obstacles. That being said, Rosling says none of her clients have cancelled; instead, she says they shifted to an outdoor wedding and hosted a reception for their guests, despite not being able to be there themselves.And while wedding planners must continue to work around an ongoing pandemic, Rosling says some weddings have been cancelled for non-COVID-related reasons.
