W H AT O T H E R R E F E R R A L S S AY A B O U T M E : People say I’m very passionate about my clients, each wedding, and life in general. W H AT ’ S M Y FAV O R I T E S AY I N G : Anything is possible if you have faith, and when you believe – You can Achieve and Succeed! Work Hard, Play Harder and Party Like a Rock Star. F U N N Y W E D D I N G M O M E N T: Most recent is my wedding rehearsal on Saturday, May 19, 2012. When I asked the bride and groom to say a few words after The Hawaiian Lei Exchange, the bride starts laughing and stated that she loved the groom longer than the telephone pole in a Filipino accent. It was hilarious because no one else was Filipino except for me at the rehearsal. S E N T I M E N TA L W E D D I N G M O M E N T: It is very touching for me to see the bridal couples’ raw emotion of loving bliss and tears when they are doing their vows and the first time they see the ceremony and reception completely decorated and are in “awe” because it was executed better than they had envisioned. S P E C I A L I N S I D E R TA L E N T: Although I am very career oriented and ambitious, I am a DOMESTICATED GODDESS. I love every aspect of a harmonious home – I love to cook, bake, clean house, babysit and care for children. My special talent is organizing spaces and folding laundry in a professional way.

I started my business because I was already doing weddings and events for families and friends as a hobby. I am naturally organized, detail oriented and have mastered time management from an early age. Being the oldest and closest to my grandparents growing up, I was a natural leader and was appointed the family organizer and coordinator for all our family events. I have been planning and organizing special occasions and high school special events; and my own Sweet 16th since 1989 in high school. Seeing all of their happy expressions and the final production of everything I planned brought a natural high for me. Coordinating everything became second nature and I thought that if I could do any business in this world, it would be something I loved doing. Being a wedding planner is a dream career in the making. I G E T I N S P I R E D W H E N : I get inspired when I meet bridal couples that have a vision of how they want their wedding day to turn out. Learning their personality, style and knowing their budget allows me to get creative using their color schematics and theme to produce a one-of-a-kind and unique wedding for each and every client. No two weddings are the same nor will they ever be duplicated. Inspiration comes from the bridal couple alone.
