We are not a corporation or a family-owned business. We are a team of two people that have built this company for over a year, far exceeding our five-year-goals in terms of growth and success. Our priorities have always been safety, privacy, and transparency. "Be Kind" is our motto and we practice it with all clients and with one another. Feedback is essential for internal growth - you always have a voice. Your success is our success, and vice versa. You have a stake in this journey with us.

Events typically happen monthly (with lots to do beforehand!) and can range from 30 vendors to 100+. We are most famous for our Taylor Swift inspired event at the night market we are hosting at Science World. We have been featured in numerous media publications internationally. Our focus is on experiential markets, offering attractions to both consumers and vendors. Most events are located in the Fraser Valley but we do have some in Metro Vancouver.
