As wedding planners, we have to expect the unexpected, and to plan for the unplanned.  This certainly happened in our early wedding planning season.  We received a call from Matthew, Gary’s church friend, in September to inquire if we could helped their wedding planning.  We were so happy to accept this invitation.  In eight-week time, we helped them compiled their ceremony booklets, finalized their decorations in church and in the reception hall, and designed the wedding day rundown.  Gary had such a good time working with Matthew as he is a very detail-oriented person.  Monica enjoyed collaborating with Vivian as they both like pink and share similar visions on colours and decorations.

Vivian & Matthew had a traditional Chinese wedding banquet with several great touches.  First they host their banquet in a prestigious reception hall with numerous gorgeous chandeliers.  They perfected their grand entrance by using a spot light with a romantic song.  During the banquet,  Matthew’s friend, who is a magician, put Vivian & Matthew’s love story into a magic trick; and he performed another one to send his blessings to this newlywed.  The banquet was climaxed with a video footage of their wedding day highlights.

We had such a great time coordinating their wedding day, particularly their sophisticated reception.  Please check out our website to experience the joy and details of Vivian & Matthew wedding.

It has been a long while we have not posted any entries in the blog.  We sincerely apologize to our blog followers.  We have had a very fruitful summer and fall wedding seasons.  In the next few weeks, we will share our great adventures with clients in their wedding planning and coordination.

To give you guys a brief overview, we have done four weddings and one 5-year wedding anniversary celebration.  We started off with Prisca & Lionel’s classy & elegant 5-year anniversary celebration photoshoot.   Then, we had Dianna & Fabian’s fairytale themed wedding that we planned since October last year.  We also had a partial wedding planning for Karen & Edwin’s wedding in September.  We had a big bang in our late 2010 wedding season by coordinated two magnificent weddings in two days.  On the first day, we had Martina & Edmund’s simple, classy & luxurious wedding, which we had a great time working with world-renounced vendors, such as Cloud Nine Creative Inc. & Thomas Haas.  On the second day, we coordinated a 200-guest wedding for a very lovely and sweet couple – Vivian & Matthew.

We are very grateful to witness the blossoms of their authentic love stories, and to experience the fruits of our wedding planning and coordination.  We will have these featured weddings posted shortly.  So stay tuned!

Often in time, we review comments and discussions from public forums on wedding planning or wedding planners.  The following comment brought to our attentions; and we are grateful to see our work and passion can really influence others.

From reena in the wedding discussion forum of loyaukee.com:

I encountered a very pleasant 1-hour complimentary initial wedding meeting that was offered by a wedding planner named Monica Tam.  She speaks Cantonese, English and Mandarin as well, I believe.  Not only she is very professional and polite, she also asked me about my hobbies and passion, so that she can implement me & my fiance’s passion and personality into the wedding for personal unique touches. I really like that!

p.s* If my memory is correct, I believe she is a certified wedding planner, and so is her husband.  They work side by side together, so for the market price that 1 wedding coordinator charges out there, you’re getting a husband & wife team to work for you.  Check out www.blueprintforlove.ca, she really rocks!
