Abigail and Tuan live in the States, so found it very difficult to plan a wedding remotely. So they reached out to us for wedding planning services and we are thankful they did!
A Filipino-Vietnamese couple, their wedding was full of traditions. From the tea ceremony, to traditional dress for both the bride and groom, to a full Catholic mass presided over by an Archbishop of the Old Catholic tradition in Toronto…. it covered a lot of bases!
This was a wedding with a lot of heart, a lot of love, the honouring and blessings of family…. and a healthy does of fun and celebration!
Special thanks to Steve at Silverlight Photography for the photos!
Abigail & Tuan’s review on Weddingwire:
“Stress free planning!
We know of Zerlene through my sister in law’s friends Anna and Sonam. They were very happy with her at impresario events. We still reached out to other wedding planners to compare but after meeting each one of them, we found the confidence to trust our wedding to Zerlene. And indeed she DELIVERED.
We live in the US and we have to do everything by phone or mail and she was on top of it. Every email was answered on time and she don’t mind having skype to talk to us if we have concerns and questions. Whenever we are on town, all meeting have been taken care of and all we have to do is to be there. Like our expectations, she did all the vendors and event research, made all the appointments, bargain packages, keep track of budget and payments, did all the communications and coordination, managed the ever changing wedding day itinerary, and just in overall she really did take off a lot of stress on me (the bride).
Zerlene had a lot of vendor contacts which we like a lot because it gave us options based on our preferences and budget. She worked a lot with these people and they gave us good discounts and services because of her and most importantly she knew that they will do a good job at our wedding. And yes they did. We were very happy with all the vendors she referred to us that we wouldn’t have known if not because of her. She gave us her true opinion and advice on many different things and I believed that it made our wedding a lot more to what we like.
The wedding day in itself couldn’t have gone more smoothly than I expected. My husband and I kept telling each other that we never thought our wedding day would go by so well. Yes we have everything all planned out in paper and we did the rehearsal 3 days before but we never think that it will be perfect. Everything was taken care of and everything went by EXACTLY as I wanted it to be. It was the PERFECT wedding. I was able to really enjoy the wedding day with my family and friends and I have nothing to worry about. Everybody had a great time at the wedding.
If you want to have a stress free wedding, I would highly recommend Zerlene.”
