Devoted To You

Carmen from Devoted to You was our wedding planner (we chose the day-of package, which means she gets involved a few weeks before the wedding), and right off the bat I can tell you that she was fantastic. Even for someone as organized as I am, it is just not possible to be a bride (and enjoy your day) and execute your own wedding, so hiring a wedding planner, especially Carmen, was money well spent. Not only did she execute the day of the wedding seamlessly, but she was also full of vendor recommendations (that are on budget, and even last minute) and wedding advice in general, always making herself available. She was never overbearing and always respected our vision and opinions (and handled my opinionated relatives very well!), yet still managed to steer us away from making wrong choices. Carmen attended our wedding tasting, and held a number of ad hoc meetings with us and our vendors to ensure all the details were in place. She is VERY organized her day of itinerary was broken out into 15 minute intervals! I certainly appreciated that since this reflects her dedication to the bride and grooms vision. The week before the wedding she organized all the vendor contracts and contacted each vendor to ensure they were ready to go. We did not want to do a rehearsal, but Carmen came out on her own time to one of our pre-wedding events to ensure that she had a chance to talk to the entire wedding party in case they had any questions and to review the itinerary. On the day of she started bright and early, did the bridal party coffee run and picked up our lunch, in addition to ensuring that all the vendors were doing what they were supposed to be doingand she also ran around with a glass of water with a straw to ensure I was hydrated throughout the day. Her assistant, Katilyn, was lovely as well. Both of them did such a great job and were a pleasure to work with. Even my family and my other wedding vendors commented on their professionalism and work ethic. I recommend Carmen and her team at Devoted to You wholeheartedly they will make sure that your day is special and executed even better than you imagined!

My husband and I would highly recommend Carmen Luk and her team at Devoted To You for her wedding planning and coordination services. Carmen went well beyond her scope of duty to ensure that we had a seamless and memorable day. Prior to the wedding, she met with the two of us on a number of occasions to understand what we wanted in our perfect day and help plan it. Knowing our MC was a bit nervous, she even met with him to ensure he was comfortable. She would always be prepared at these meetings with a plan of action as well as extra print outs for what was needed to be done. Carmen would also try to make herself available when it came to meeting with vendors (although she was not required to). Most importantly, she would be up front with us on costs of certain vendors and whether there were too many activities that would run over time. Carmen and her team assisted throughout the planning process from the recommendation and selection of vendors, to the coordination with the hotel and the set-up. In the lead up to the wedding, Carmen was always very responsive and quick to address any concerns we had. Despite having a cultural wedding with over 300 people, Carmen provided us with a detailed schedule and ensured the whole wedding party was on time. She was extremely helpful particularly with the logistics as we had many different events throughout the day (door games, tea ceremony, church ceremony, reception, dinner, etc). From the start of day when she arrived at 6am to prep the bridesmaids for the makeup artists to the dinner reception, Carmen and her team were very professional and would be helpful wherever possible and no matter how small the task. Her team even assisted me in my numerous outfit changes during the evening! Carmen is also respectful to parents/ relatives and was able to communicate to them in Cantonese and Mandarin which was a huge plus for us.Being a bit of a bridezilla who is a perfectionist, I was truly impressed with Carmen's work. She truly goes above and beyond to make everything perfect and everyone happy. We can't thank Carmen and her team enough for helping us with our wedding. We look forward to having them plan our future events :)
