Weddings are a great place for cultural traditions to blend as more people of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds decide to tie the knot. Our core commitment is to help the couple bridge a bond to their ancestors through culturally diverse weddings.
We can customize any wedding service to your needs and do as much or as little as you like. We offer premium packages or individually priced products that allow you to select the most desirable items. You can choose from one of our tiered packages:
Modern: Full Planning package
Stylish: Partial Planning package
Chic: Day of Planning package
OR create a custom package.
Our package fees will vary depending on the complexity of your wedding. For this reason we prefer not to quote pricing by email or phone. We use the free consultation to learn more about your wedding and how much help you want and need. Once we have all of the information regarding what you want help with, we will develop a proposal based on our discussion outlining all services and fees for your special day.
Having an in-depth understanding of your needs and goals is a fundamental part of the way we work with you. A la Carte services can be added to any package, just pick and choose the services that would be beneficial for you.
Designed just for the grooms. A dedicated professional works as the groom’s personal assistant, like a butler.
