( 3 / 96 )Last week’s wedding in Macau’s Bayan Tree Macau has successfully finished. You can say that this wedding was held on water as the couple had a long walkway and ceremony stage it the hotel’s swimming pool which was an extremely special feeling. In addition, the Vice Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Politics Consultative Conference, Mr Tung Chee Hwa and many other business celebrities attended the wedding which we had to plan our security extra careful. Before the wedding I communicated with Macau’s SWAT team and hotel staff regarding the VIP seating and the location where they will arrive. They were extremely strict on examination, and on top of that, the couple had provided hotel accommodation for their guests so our job of organizing check in for over hundreds of hotel rooms could not be ignored. The wedding ceremony officially started and was witnessed by a civil celebrant, successfully completing the wedding. That night the couple also held an evening banquet for the special guests, a wedding banquet with the main theme being a love story. Playing section by section of videos to express their love story, it was a very touching scene. Under all of the family and friend’s laughter and happy sounds, the wedding successfully ended.
And they will live happily ever after
一個在澳門Banyan Tree Macau舉行的婚禮在上星期完滿結束，這個婚禮可以說是在水上舉行，一對新人在酒店泳池上做了一條長廊及舞台作為他們行禮的地方，感覺十分特別，加上當日董建華先生及很多商界名人的到賀，令我們在策劃保安上更要十分小心，在婚禮前我與澳門特警及酒店溝通VIP的坐位、他們會到的地方，他們都十分嚴格去撿查，加上大部份的賓客新人都為他們提供酒店住宿，所以安排百多間房間Check in的工作我們更加不容忽視。婚禮儀式正式開始了，在監禮人的見証下，順利完成這一場婚禮，當晚他們亦設宴招待這些貴賓，一個以LOVE STORY為主題的婚宴，以一段一段VIDEO去表達他們的愛情故事，場面溫馨感人。在多位親友的歡樂聲下，完成了這個婚禮。

( 3.1 / 148 )A wedding job under a red rain storm has finished. A very happy couple with every touching scenes constantly shown. The most thanksgiving is that everytime we were indoors it raining very hard and when we went outside the rain will stop which was extremely amusing. The wedding banquet in the Grand Ballroom at Grand Hyatt Hong Kong had music as the main theme and emphasis, we organized a soprano to perform as the opening of their wedding banquet. Team of a dozen musical members, with the addition of multi-effect lighting resulted in the whole performance being even more perfect. I extremely enjoyed the whole process, Sue & Edwin: We are very happy that we fulfilled a memorable wedding for you, Thank you both very much. Lastly, here I share with everyone a number of scenes from the morning of that day.

( 3.1 / 153 )Yesterday a friend from the media asked me ‘at present there are so many wedding planning companies in the market, the fees vary so much. Some are a few thousand dollars and others are tens of thousand dollars. But every companies work is so similar, how is one supposed to spot the difference and choose the right company?’
From my point of view, a wedding planner is not selling a physical piece of good. It’s not like a photographer or make-up artist where you can see their finished work in order to decide who to choose. As for the wedding planner, you will not be able to see their strength and capability until the day of the wedding, therefore making the decision purely based on their performance of their presentation. So, to meet the requirements of this journalist, I shall share with you on how to choose your wedding planner.
I can say that experience is the most valuable aspect of a wedding planner as experience cannot be bought with money. A wedding planner with experience will perform with full confidence. In addition to answering the newlyweds answer but visa versa, ask the newlyweds questions. From my point of view, a wedding planner should not be like an ‘echo’ and just agree with the couple. There should be a realistic point of view towards a wedding and through communication with the couple, understanding their real needs, showing them photos of previous works and familiarizing the details of the wedding will allow to you know if the couple are fully willing to plan their wedding. Therefore understanding the wedding planner’s experience is the basics. You must know who is responsible for your wedding planner of your wedding, is he/she a full timer or part timer? How many wedding has he/she planned? At which venues has he/she commonly worked at for wedding banquets? Has he/she previously dealt with a case similar to your wedding? Also, other than planning, the operation of that day is very important, you must understand on the day of your wedding, how many wedding planners and consultants will be present and their division of work etc. Ability to communicate is extremely important aspect because the wedding planner is your closest partner in the wedding planning process, his/her capability of clearly communicating with you can directly affect the quality of your wedding. Communication does not mean language skills, a wedding planner being able to speak in numerous languages is not important, the most important thing is that they can quickly understand the things and feelings you want for the wedding, to complete the most memorable moment.
Everyone can also ask for opinions from other wedding information suppliers, for example the person in charge at the venue for your wedding banquet because they are very clear of the wedding planner’s performance, if they have any cases of errors and mishaps at the time. Also, if they have a good relationship with other wedding planning service companies, there is no harm for the couple’s wedding as your wedding will be run more smoothly.
昨天有位傳媒朋友問我，現時市場上好多的wedding planner公司，收費參差，有些幾仟元，有些十多萬，但大家做的東西都是差不多，究竟如何分別及如果選擇呢?
在我角度，wedding planner沒有實質的東西賣，不像攝影或化妝等可以睇到他們的作品，再決定如果選擇，而wedding planner未到婚禮當日都不知他們的功力，只是單靠他們presentation的表現來決定， 所以，我應這位記者朋友的要求，在這裡與大家分享如何選擇你們的wedding planner。
我可以講wedding planner最值錢的地方就是他們的經驗，經驗是錢買不到的東西，有經驗的wedding planner會表現得有充分信心，除了解答新人的提問，更會反向新人提問。在我的角度，wedding planner不應是「應聲蟲」，不會一股腦兒的認同新人。對婚禮應有切實的見解，透過對新人溝通，了解新人真正所需，在展示其工作相片時，從其對該婚禮細節的熟識度，更可知道他對自己籌備的婚禮是否全心全意，是否上心。所以了解wedding planner的經驗是最基本的。要知道誰是負責你的婚禮的wedding planner，他是全職或是兼職的？他曾籌備過多少個婚禮？他最常參與的婚禮宴會場地是哪兒？他曾處理過與你情況相似的婚禮嗎？ 另外除了planning工作外，當日的operation亦是十分重要的，你要了解有多少位婚禮策劃顧問會在你的婚禮當天工作，工作分工如何等等。溝通能力亦是十分重要的一環，因為 wedding planner 是你籌備婚禮時最 close 的伙伴，他能否與你好好溝通是直接影響你婚禮的質素的。溝通不是指語言能力，一個 wedding planner 能否操多國語言不是最重要，最重要他能否好快地知道你想要的東西及婚禮感覺，為你完成一個難忘的重要時刻。
大家還可以詢問其他婚禮供應商的意見，例如你的宴會場地負責人，因為他們會很清楚該婚禮策劃顧問現場實際表現如何，有沒有失誤和失場的情況。另外如果他們與其他婚禮服務供應商擁有良好的合作關係，對新人的婚禮只有百利而無一害。使你的婚禮進行得更流暢。

( 3 / 189 )Many people cannot understand the difference between the two of them, however the nature of the work for planning a wedding is not the same. Abroad, some wedding planning companies with a scale will ensure to separate the difference between a wedding planner's position and a wedding coordinator's position. But in Hong Kong, this aspect is not very clear, so here I would like to share my point of view with everyone.
A real wedding planner mainly communicates the small details of the wedding planning process with the couple, understand the couple’s personality, provide selection and advice on professional suppliers as well as designing the theme of the wedding for the client, matching colour schemes, designing the whole rundown of the wedding, selecting music for the wedding, arrange each aspect and catering and many more. And finally off course the operational work of the wedding day. A good wedding planner managing the operational work of the wedding day is very important. If the operational work is not done well, it can destroy all of the organisation and planning which was taken out prior to the wedding. I always say that even if all the planning is done very well, a wedding still has the chance of changing, therefore their ability to adapt to changes is very important, which I believe can only be achieved with a minimum if two years experience.
On the other hand, a wedding coordinator's work is much more simpler. A lot of wedding coordinators are usually the companies' junior staff and in some companies they are the wedding planner's subordinate, the assistant in planning the wedding. For a wedding there is lots of administration and liaison work, at this time a wedding coordinator will unleash their role or for some new people, especially in Hong Kong, where the couple have already dealt with a lot of preparation and is just looking for a person to assist them and be responsible for their administration and liaison work. At this time they will look or the help of a wedding coordinator. As for the operational work on the wedding day, they will also take part which is mainly the wedding planner's assistant's work.
In the wedding planning industry, every new entrant joining this profession will first do 1-2 years of basic wedding coordinator's position, until they understand this industry's operation and characteristics of a wedding, then they can promote upwards as a wedding planner or wedding consultant, independently planning and organising a couple's whole wedding. Therefore this position is very new entrant’s inevitable stage. I also believe that a good division of work and structure is a must for a professional wedding planning company, to plan the perfect wedding for the couple at different levels.
好多人都分不清兩者的真正分別，不過他們與Wedding Planner的工作性質是好不同的。在外國，一些有規模的Wedding Planner公司，就會好明確分出Wedding Planner 及Wedding Coordinator的職位，而在香港，這方面真是分不清，所以我都想係這裡把我的睇法與大家分享一下。
真正的一個Wedding Planner，其實主要是在新人的策劃上，他們與新人作一個詳細的溝通，了解新人的個性，為新人選擇的產品提供專業的分析及意見，還有是為客人設計整個婚禮主題、顏色的配襯、整個婚禮的流程、婚禮用的音樂、每一個環節的安排、食物的安排等等，當然最後就是婚禮當日的operation工作，一個好的Wedding Planner處理當日的operation工作是很重要的，operation做得不好可以將之前所Plan的東西完全破壞，我常常講，就算所有東西Plan好，一個婚禮總有機會有變數，所以他們的執生能力是十分緊要的，相信要最少2年經驗先可做到好。
相反Wedding Coordinator的工作會簡單很多，好多Wedding Coordinator都是公司比較初級的員工，有些公司，他們是Wedding Planner的下屬，是他們策劃上的助手，在一個婚禮上，有很多文書及聯絡工作，這時Wedding Coordinator就會發揮他作的作用了，或者有些新人，特別在香港，他們已在籌備上處理好所有的東西，只是想找一個人去幫他們負責文書及聯絡工作，這時他們都會找Wedding Coordinator的幫忙，而婚禮當日的operation工作，他們都會參與的，主要是Wedding Planner的助手工作。
在婚禮策劃行業裡，每一位新入行的人基本都會先做1-2年Wedding Coordinator的職位，待他了解這個行業的運作及婚禮產品的特性，才可晉升為正式Wedding Planner或Wedding Consultant，獨立為各新人策劃整個婚禮，所以這個位置是新入行必經的階段，我亦認為一間專業的婚禮策劃公司一定會有良好的分工及架構，為客人在不同層面上去策劃他們完美的婚禮。
