We are Blackcomb Creative
We are a boutique event planning, design and floral company based in beautiful Whistler, BC
Innovative, creative, and intentional, we collaborate with you to bring your vision to life. Blackcomb Creative was founded in January 2018 by event designer and stylist, Sarah Janyk. Sarah has brought together a team of the best creative and logistics planners in the Sea to Sky Corridor. Together, we create seamless events that, without a doubt, will turn a few heads.
Our event design and production are outside of the box and carefully curated by Sarah—no matter how unconventional. Our team has an uncanny ability to connect with our clients and delve deep into their vision to create a style that is innovative and unforgettable, all while aligning with individual unique needs.
From your best friend’s bridal shower to your father’s 60th birthday party, the perfect engagement, or the day you say, ‘I Do’ and need to start planning your wedding – we specialize in one-of-a-kind event planning and design that is guaranteed to exceed your expectations.
Sarah Janyk (Stead), our founder...
For fifteen steady years, Sarah has been deeply immersed in the event industry, playing an essential role in organizing events such as the Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival, Cornucopia, Wanderlust, Whistler Excellence Awards, and Here To Be with lululemon. Sarah has also held positions such as Events Project Manager for the Whistler Chamber of Commerce and, most recently, Program Experience Manager for Cantrav (a Destination Management Company).
With a profound passion for giving back to her community, Sarah currently volunteers for the Whistler Blackcomb Foundation's annual events and donates her time to several local animal rescue organizations and serves on the board of directors for WAG Whistler’s Animal Shelter.
Through her intimate involvement in the event industry, Sarah honed her true passion: creative floral and event design. Thus, Blackcomb Creative was born."
