What will I do?

Wedding planners organise and plan wedding ceremonies and dinner events for couples. Wedding planners assist the bride and groom to fulfil their dream weddings within their budget and timeline. Wedding planners also arrange wedding details such as choice of flowers and cakes, invitation card printing, wedding location, hall decorations, photo sessions, selection of emcees, programme list, and even the caterer for dinner receptions.

  • Be organised and have good time management
  • Possess adequate creativity to add on fresh ideas for customers
  • Have a basic understanding of different cultural practices and religious norms
  • Be able to deal with long working hours and working on public holidays and weekends
