| Tell
us a little about what you did before becoming
a wedding planner. |
| I
was in the advertising industry and was working
abroad in countries like Indonesia, Cambodia and
Vietnam. |
| |
| Why
the switch in career? |
| Well
it isn't really a total switch as event management
is very much a part of what I used to do in advertising.
It's just that I now organise events. |
| |
| How
long have you been involved in wedding planning? |
| This
would be the third year running. |
| |
| What
are some of the highs and lows associated with
being a wedding planner? |
| The
highs of course would be when whatever you have
envisioned for the wedding turns out exactly as
that, if not better. The lows would be having
to deal with clients who are unrealistic in terms
of expectations and expect us wedding planners
to perform miracles. |
| |
| There
is a misperception that it costs quite a bit to
hire a wedding planner. How do you respond to
such a perception? |
| Most
vendors would be willing to give a wedding planner
a good price simply because we are working with
them on a longer term and therefore have volume.
In this instance, we are definitely able to save
a lot of money for our clients. Taken in totality,
they could probably save even after having taken
into account the fee we charge them. The clients
would have saved on time and stress too. |
| |
| Do
share with us one of the more memorable weddings
you've planned. |
| This
is a hard one so I am going to name two. The two
most memorable weddings would be Sherry and Hisham
Harun's wedding, and we only finished at 5am and
then had to rush to the airport to catch a flight
to attend to the second most memorable wedding
which is the Cambodian wedding we did for Ashley
and Dougald. Both couples really made the experience
worthwhile for us as they had an understanding
of how to use a wedding planner, that is by listening
to our ideas and placing complete trust in us. |
