How big a part do your couples play in the creative process – or are they generally happy for you to run the show?

Their needs inspire me. I’m always searching for ways to provide them with what they are expecting, sometimes by creating special and unique things, installations etc. Many couples are laid back and rely on our creativity and experience, since the most important thing for them is about sharing this special moment with their family and friends.

What’s the trickiest part about being a destination wedding planner?

Natural disasters: volcano eruptions and earthquakes. Also, unstable currency and lots of religious holidays.

For you, how has the Bali Wedding industry changed over the years?

It has changed a lot! Hundreds of new wedding planners appeared! But the positive thing which happened over last years, is the quality increase from the existing ones and all the vendors. Bali is definitely meeting world class standards in terms of florals, décor and styling and venues.

Can you tell us about your most memorable Wedding moment or memory?

A few years ago, one of my couples had a hilarious idea for the grand entrance! They swapped dresses! Everyone was crying from laughter! Another one which I probably will never forget, was a father-daughter dance, when after a few seconds of the song all fathers and daughters joined in. A very moving moment, with tears rolling down everyone’s cheeks.

What wedding trends never go out of fashion?

Fairy lights canopy, candles in glass vases, petal shower after the ceremony, the hand bouquet toss, the ‘first dance’ of the newlyweds and speeches (everyone loves this part!)

What is the BEST part of your job?

Making clients happy and working with creative, passionate people in the Bali wedding industry, who support you anytime in the name of a partnership and the final result.
