Julia Kios

Lead Coordinator / Social Media Manager

Hey there! My name is Julia (technically pronounced Jou-li-a, like bonjour, if you’re feeling all fancy and proper! But I’ll answer with any variation or a good ol’ “hey you”). I joined ThistleBEA in May 2023.

I am our company’s resident weirdo, proudly so! Outside of work you can catch me at home, playing videogames with hubby and chilling watching true crime documentaries with my baby girl (Eri, my cat). I am an Elderly Emo through and through, a Scene-ior Citizen if you will, and you can always count on me to know presale codes for all of the concerts of your favourite bands!

I planned my entire wedding at the ripe age of 8, in a glittery folder, with printed references and a tiny 3×4 space with “groom” written underneath, as this was the only thing still to be chosen. Years later I went to Fashion School and designed my wedding dress (a much improved version of the one I drew with crayons at 8yo) and then I decided to come to Canada, was engaged for 6 days and am yet to have my dream party (in the works)! I channel all of that to bring couples’ visions to life, being there for them and making sure they have the most beautiful day! It is also the perfect industry to put all my degrees (Fashion, Hospitality and Events Marketing) to use, and there’s always delicious food involved which is definitely a huge plus on my books!

Get to know me a little better

Your favourite TV show?

Criminal Minds and Grey’s Anatomy (with a tattoo to prove it)

As Blink-182 would say, “We’ll have Halloween on Christmas”

Do you have, like, 3 hours to hear me talk about this? If not… My husband would be a safe answer!

A theater, on stage! SO COOL!

EAT! And drink water! I know it sounds obvious, but believe me, it is not. Please try to be healthy on your wedding day, please please please. I promise you that dramatically fainting on the altar is only funny in movies.
