The First Contact

It all starts with a detailed conversation to understand your dreams, style and budget. It is at this stage that your wedding planner translates expectations into planning, designing the exact and exclusive profile of your event.

And to end this Thursday, I received this beautiful tribute from my client Laudiceia, who has now become a dear friend.

I couldn't believe it when, during the thank-you speeches, she invited me to come to the front of everyone to thank me for my work and commitment in putting on this beautiful party for her husband.

Congratulations Shawn on your 60th birthday, on having such a wonderful and devoted wife, and may there be many more celebrations to come!

I am grateful to all my suppliers who participated in this unique moment in the lives of everyone who was present at the party!

Yes, the wedding planner sometimes needs to take the microphone and conduct the ceremony.

This happens at weddings and also at 15th birthday parties, where we reminisce about their history, recounting funny and memorable events that happened throughout their lives, managing to elicit many laughs and even a tear of emotion may appear.

I love these moments at the party!

So, do you like this part or do you find it unnecessary?
