About Shawn:
Married for over 19 years to his incredible wife Erica, Shawn’s most cherished roles include being a devoted husband and father to their four children (three boys and one girl). Together with Erica, he co-founded Young Hip & Married in 2010. This international officiating service is dedicated to helping couples express their love through the power of intentional ceremony. Initially venturing into the wedding scene while advocating for Relationship Coaching, Shawn's background in NLP and Professional Coaching paved an unexpected path into the wedding industry. Since that serendipitous start, he has personally officiated over 1,500 weddings, with thousands more celebrated under the Young Hip & Married banner. Recognized multiple times for his exceptional officiating skills, Shawn now leads a team of over 35 officiants across Canada and the USA, positioning Young Hip & Married as a premier name in the wedding ceremony space.
Shawn's passion for authentic love stories also led him to the world of online education. He offers a course guiding couples in writing sincere, touching wedding vows. And now, with the launch of his book, "The Wedding Vow Handbook: Your Guide to Creating Kick-Ass Wedding Vows That Are Authentically Yours!" Shawn aims to further empower couples in crafting wedding vows that truly resonate.
