"We give couples more than they ever expected. Not only an elevated wedding - but an experience they will cherish from the very beginning.
This is more than Wedding Planning; this is a refined, intentional experience built on trust, genuine relationships, and exceptional care."

The Heart Behind
Began With Sparks
I’m Jalyssa, the founder of Began With Sparks and certified WPIC Wedding Planner and CWD Wedding Designer.
My journey through the wedding industry has been intentionally built from the ground up.
I’ve designed and coordinated events in Halifax, Nova Scotia, worked as a Bridal Consultant, and later served as Assistant Manager for a catering company in Whistler, British Columbia.
Every role gave me a deeper understanding of what it takes to create a seamless celebration and confidently guide my couples through one of the most meaningful seasons of their lives.
Today, Began With Sparks is the fulfillment of that dream.
Marriage is a beautiful bond and every wedding should be a beautiful reflection of the couple's love and faith.
I am so honoured to celebrate your love story and to create a beautiful ceremony that is uniquely yours.
"Becoming a Wedding Planner was the best decision I ever made.
Seeing my couples live the day they were so excited to have allowed me to realize it was so much more than a career but a passion."
