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

Winning WPIC Destination Wedding Planner of the Year feels especially meaningful this year. This journey started with my own wedding in Italy 16 years ago. With such a distinguished panel of judges, this recognition carries a quiet weight — one that I hold with deep gratitude.

Behind every destination wedding week abroad is not just design and logistics, but a family making it possible.

To my husband — who holds everything together at home while I travel — and to the grandmas who step in with endless love… this honour belongs to you too.

To my clients: thank you for trusting me with your most intimate celebrations, far from home. To be welcomed into your wedding world abroad is the greatest privilege of my work.

And to my fellow planners and creative partners around the world — your generosity, collaboration, and kindness are what elevate this industry we love.

This award is shared. 🤍

Trruly honoured to be nominated for the WEMA Circle Awards 🤍
This one feels different.

After years of building celebrations across cultures, borders, and generations, being recognised on a global stage that values integrity, craftsmanship, and intention means more than I can say. No politics. No pay-to-play. Just real work, seen and acknowledged by peers who understand what goes into every detail behind the scenes.

WEMA represents the kind of industry I believe in — inclusive, global, and rooted in respect for both the craft and the people who pour their hearts into it.

Grateful to stand alongside wedding professionals around the world who continue to raise the bar with purpose, care, and authenticity.

Closing out 2025 with a full heart ❤️

A year of adventures ✈️, travel 🌍, timelines 📋, and weddings 💍 across cities and borders.

Grateful beyond words 🙏 for the trust of our clients, the support of incredible vendors 🤝, and the friendships 💫 that carried me through every challenge.

Being entrusted with my couples’ most meaningful life moments is something I never take it for granted 🤍

This year stretched my creativity, tested my logistics skills, and pushed me past what I thought was possible — and somehow, I always made it to the other side 💪✨

None of this would be possible without the unwavering love and support of my family 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒

Wishing everyone a joyful holiday season 🎄✨ and a beautiful start to 2026 🥂
