ORGANIZATION PLANNING
The first rule is that the service quality is high. Even if it is a wedding with the most beautiful decoration, if the service is bad, the food is cold, and the waiters are rude, there is no point in organizing that event. The second is the harmony of the working team, I mean the 5 stages I just mentioned. And of course, it is extremely important for the bride and groom to be positive. Their excitement reflects on me, my team and all the guests, and the wedding goes so well. When the couple’s excitement reflects on me, I can often add a lot of things that are not in the contract. Because from that moment on, everything must be perfect as it will be my signature.
