The Wedding Architects
A Private Wedding Planning & Design House for the Pendennis Weddings and Events
The Wedding Architects is the private planning arm of The Pendennis — created for couples who believe their wedding should feel as intentional, elevated, and unforgettable as the love they’re celebrating.
We approach weddings the same way an architect approaches a building — by understanding the vision, designing the framework, and ensuring every detail supports the experience as a whole. We accept there are real limitations, like budget, and we work within them.
This is not coordination.
This is design leadership.
Having run over 250 events, we know how people use our space, and we know what it feels like to make it magical. This isn’t just an extra service, it’s a way for us to help our couples create their dream wedding in a space that is unique, fun, intimate, and has endless options for personalization.
We have three packages designed for any of our couples.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Beautiful weddings don’t happen by accident — and beauty alone is never the goal.
We believe a truly exceptional wedding is defined by:
• a thoughtful guest experience
• a celebration that feels deeply personal
• moments and memories that linger
• spaces designed to create intimacy
• food guests remember
• drinks they talk about long after the night ends
• and a room that flows effortlessly
Great events are designed.
They require intention, time, and care. Simplicity may look effortless, but it begins with organizing complexity behind the scenes.
At The Wedding Architect, we believe the most memorable weddings are those where every decision has purpose and every element supports the experience as a whole.
We focus on:
• structure before styling
• clarity before chaos
• experience before excess
By designing the foundation properly, everything else falls into place.
Below are some of our inspiration boards. Each couple receives two mood boards like this in our full planning service package.
The first one: the Dream mood board.
The second board: the Execution mood board

The Wedding Architects Service Tiers
Each level reflects how much of your wedding we take into our hands.
Not everyone needs the same depth of involvement — but every couple deserves excellence. One tier is for problem solving, one is for event support leading up to and on the wedding day, the final tier is for full wedding planning.

A Note from Elizabeth
My name is Elizabeth Mywaart, Founder and CEO of The Pendennis Weddings & Events.
I have worked in the wedding industry since 2011, beginning as a makeup artist and expanding my expertise into hairstyling, photography, videography, and destination weddings. Over the years, I have created and produced weddings for clients across the United States, Mexico, Iceland, France, Italy, and Hong Kong.
In 2021, following the industry’s transformation after COVID, I opened my first wedding venue, now closed. In 2023 I launched The Pendennis Weddings and Events, a historic, design-forward wedding and events venue in downtown Edmonton. Since 2021, my team and I have produced more than 250 weddings and events, giving me a deep understanding of not just how weddings look — but how they function.
The Wedding Architects was created to bring that experience directly to couples. It exists for those who want their wedding to be thoughtfully designed, expertly managed, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish.
This is not about checklists.
It is about clarity, leadership, and an exceptional experience.
— Elizabeth Mywaart
