Vendor relationships
We work with the Island's Top Vendors, hiring the most outstanding professionals in all categories and maintain a strong professional relationship with them after years of working together. This translates to ease of communication as we know their offerings well. It can also mean priority for our clients as well as discounts we pass directly to you. We also don't try to wear too many hats and provide rentals, florals, cakes, or photography in-house. We know from experience that having an expert in each category yields the best result.
We work with the best of the best.
03
Specialization
We only Plan, Coordinate and Design for a very limited number of couples per year. For our clients, that means higher quality service, quicker response times, and more regular and productive communication. We focus on what we do best - specializing in luxury events and clients needing a full service treatment. Through experience, we have earned the ability to be selective and serve our niche. We aren't chasing work or expanding our reach, we are focused on doing exactly what we love and do best. If you work with us, you can rest assured you will be our only clients that week.
