Wedding Wire Couples’ Choice Awards 2016

2015 was a great year for us;  as usual we have been so busy that sometimes we forget to update the blog. That’s our fault, totally! But to prove we have been working non-stop, we earned this year’s Wedding Wire Couples’ Choice awards yet again!

CCA'16-BadgeThis marks the 4th consecutive year we have gotten the prestigious award, which recognizes wedding professionals around the world for their exemplary work throughout the year. In order to receive this award, Wedding Wire combs through thousands of wedding vendors looking for the ones with the best client reviews over five main categories:

  • Quality of Service
  • Responsiveness
  • Professionalism
  • Value
  • Flexibility

Over the years we have participated, we have received five stars every year in the wedding planning category. We are proud to receive this accolade, and it truly humbles us that our couples put so much confidence in our work. As a testament to what we do, here is an excerpt of the most recent entry:

“Carmen has been extremely thoughtful during the whole wedding planning process, she has made the tedious and scary process organised and easy.

First and foremost, Carmen is extremely passionate about what she does and bringing joy to her friends. Here I used ‘friends’ instead of ‘clients’ because my wife and I really felt being in great hands of a long time friend. Planning for a wedding, after first hand experience, is extremely difficult and nerve wrecking, and to us, the feeling of having an experienced friend looking out for us was paramount.

Secondly, organisation and experience. Our understanding of the wedding planning was this big unmanageable mess, but since Carmen was an such outstanding seasoned veteran, she offered detailed plan and timeline, and executed on point, so we never felt behind or rushed along the way. We always had plenty time at each step to review all details, which allowed us to make great decisions on every aspect of our wedding.

Third, representation and budgeting. Carmen accompanied us throughout the entire 6 months. She was not only there with us at every important meeting with vendors, wedding venue, etc, she represented our best interest. She was always the first to voice our concern on our behalf at any situation that arose. In addition, she always tried her best to negotiate the best deal for us for the most value returned, hence how we stayed within budget 😀

Last but not least, close connections to great vendors. Not only was Carmen a pleasure to work with, all vendors she introduced for DJ, music band, designer, decoration, were passionate groups of utter most professionalism. Every part of our wedding was surreal because we were in unbelievable hands. From photographer, to band, to DJ, to designing, we owe our hugely successful wedding to the lovely and extremely responsible vendors with whom Carmen had put us in contact with.

Huge thanks and nothing but love for Carmen, best wedding planner in T.dot!”

Thanks again for a awesome 2015. We promise to do even better this year!

Cheers everyone!

Carmen

POV: you’re supposed to be enjoying teamLab Planets… but your event planner brain won’t switch off. 😂

The projections. The music. The scent. The movement. The way every room makes you feel something.

I went for the experience and left thinking about the future of weddings and events.

Because what if the next big event trend isn’t more décor… but creating a world your guests can actually step into? 👀✨

Are immersive projections about to have their moment in events?

Wedding planner content: lighting candles, fixing menus and casually walking around looking put together. ✨

The reality? That’s probably 10% of the job. 😂

The other 90% is happening behind the scenes — nonstop texts and phone calls, weather decisions, last-minute changes, communicating with vendors before they arrive, adjusting timelines and solving things before our couples ever know there was a problem.

Those moments are rarely captured because… well, we’re usually too busy doing them.

So shoutout to Garbo for catching some of the real action at Amy & Brian’s wedding. 🤍

This is what wedding planning actually looks like.

A day in the life of a wedding planner ✨ Amy & Brian’s wedding day edition.

We went back and forth on the rain plan more times than I’d like to admit 🌧️☀️ — but in the end, the weather gave us the most beautiful golden hour, followed by fireworks to close out the night. 🎆

One of my favourite parts of this wedding was bringing a full Chinese catering experience into a venue that doesn’t host this style of service often. It takes a lot of coordination behind the scenes — between the venue, caterer, kitchen, rentals and our planning team — to make everything flow seamlessly.

And this is exactly the kind of challenge I love. When everyone comes together with professionalism, flexibility and a shared goal of creating the best experience for the couple and their guests, magic happens.

Congratulations Amy & Brian! ❤️

People often ask what I notice first when I arrive at a venue.
It isn’t the flowers.
Or the view.
It’s how every piece comes together to create a feeling.

Before every destination wedding, I always thinking about:
• How guests will experience the ceremony
• Where the light falls
• The flow of the space
• The details no one notices—until they’re missing

This is what a wedding looks like through a planner’s eyes.

Save this if you love seeing what happens before the celebration begins.
