Valentine Engagement Dinner Photo Shoot

That’s how we felt when our friends at The Wedding Co. posted a style shoot we did a few weeks ago at The Carlu. Here are some photos from the shoot.

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! ❤️

Hi I’m Carmen. 👋

If you’re new here, welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

20 years ago, Devoted To You was started with one simple belief: that every celebration deserves to feel personal, meaningful, and unforgettable.

What began as a dream has taken me far beyond anything I could have imagined. From intimate weddings close to home to destination celebrations in Italy, France, Portugal, Hawaii, and beyond, I’ve had the privilege of helping incredible couples celebrate some of life’s most meaningful moments.

Along the way, I’ve learned that beautiful weddings aren’t just about stunning venues or breathtaking details. They’re about the people, the stories, and the experiences that stay with us long after the day is over.

As we celebrate 20 years of Devoted To You, we’ve also refreshed our profile photo—a small change that marks the beginning of our next chapter.

To every couple who trusted us, every creative partner who collaborated with us, and everyone who has followed our journey over the years—thank you. Your support has made these 20 years possible, and I’m so grateful to continue doing what I love every single day.

Whether you’ve been here from the beginning or you’ve just found us, welcome to our story. 🤍

Here’s to the next chapter.

— Carmen

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.

A beautiful view may get your attention—but logistics determine the guest experience.

These are five things I look at before recommending a destination wedding venue.

Save this for your venue search.
