ALL WORTH IT The nerves of meeting new clients never go away. There is a mix of anxiousness and excitement when I meet them for the first time. The connection gets stronger as the details of their most awaited event are being meticulously planned. There is a certain expectation on my end that makes me more motivated to execute ideas in the best way possible. I feel that the trust that my clients have in me as an Events Manager, makes me really handson, which naturally expands my knowledge in trends and design.
Although the planning and coordinating may be tedious, there is nothing more rewarding knowing that the event was a complete success. Needless to say, the ultimate sign of a job well done is seeing the smiles of the clients and guests. This gesture makes it all worth it.

A DREAM COME TRUE It all starts with a simple connection. As the clients see our one-of-a-kind function rooms, they become excited knowing that they are one step closer to making their dream wedding come true. I would liken meeting clients to making new friends. You get to know what they like and what they don’t. You get to help them choose and make crucial decisions. But most importantly, you want their happiness to be the top most priority.
learned that the success of these events come from the wonderful people, the smooth flow of the program, and the celebration itself. Now I can say that no event is the same. Each one is unique, filled with joy, and I can never get enough of it.

Junior Hotelier 2018

Our Junior Hoteliers have astounded the Acacia Team as they quickly learned the basics of being a hotelier! This 8-session summer program conducted last May dealt with the must-knows of the different departments such as banquets, housekeeping, and front office. They also got to experience making Spanish Tapas, desserts, and the most famous Spanish Paella! It was definitely a wonderful journey and an exciting learning opportunity for the kids.
