Sy Chung and Ivy Leung is part of the team at Event Weddings and are one of Australia's most trusted and recognised names in wedding planning and event hosting. Sy and Ivy has together hosted over 500 weddings just in the past seven years.
In terms of event production, we provided corporate event and media production services for some of the biggest names in Australia including SBS TV/Radio, City of Sydney, the ACT Government, Crown Group and Greenland Development (a Fortune 500 Company) and enjoyed our work until clients began asking us to help them plan their wedding, and since then we never looked back!
Originally, we only carried out the role of a Master of Ceremonies for receptions, but when we began to see how different couples are making the same mistakes over and over again, we began to work with couples more on the event planning side to prevent issues. Having the experience of over 500 weddings, we know what common mistakes are and the likely results of every decision in wedding planning, and we can accurately estimate how your guests, venue and other suppliers and vendors will react to every decision. We help couples identify and minimise risks early on, and maximise the positive impact of their programming and budgeting.
We understand that there are many pressures in wedding planning, not least of which is financial pressure. This is why all our full wedding packages includes a Best Price Guarantee.
TRUSTED, ZERO PRESSURE GUARANTEE, 100% TRANSPARENCY GUARANTEE
We believe that in any relationship, trust is the most important thing, and this is something that we care most about in the client-wedding planner relationship.
We provide a completely obligation free complimentary wedding planning trial service where we will help you draw up a runsheet, help you write up a budget, and make an exhaustive list of absolutely everything that you might need for your wedding. This is the best first step in your wedding planning process.
At your request, we can prepare a proposal for you to consider and meet at another time. We will never pressure you to sign on the spot in our first meeting so that you have enough time for serious consideration. We also provide a standard 3 day cooling off period. All our recommendations are made because we believe they are the best for you, and not because we receive any commissions. So we declare any commissions that we make from any of our recommended suppliers.
The greatest stress of wedding planning is uncertainty. Many couples wake up in the middle of the night wondering whether or not there is anything that they have forgotten on their checklist; and in terms of financial stress, many couples underestimate their costs at the beginning, costs start to go up, and they don't know where this is going to end.
Our mission is to help couples navigate through the wedding planning process by helping them remove the key sources of uncertainty by working out exactly what they need to do, how to do this and how much this will all cost right at the very start.
In our complimentary initial meeting, we will help you run through a complete, exhaustive checklist of absolutely everything that you might need for a wedding so that you don't miss out on anything. We will also review your budget to help you discover the best option. Finally we will also help you run through a full day timing schedule or runsheet. We can also help you identify areas that can help you save money. If there is anything we do that matches your requirements, we will show you some portfolios, and if there is anything that we cannot do for you ourselves, we will make referrals for you.
As your wedding planners / MC, our job is to do everything we can to (1) guide you through a custom wedding planning process that is organised, smooth and even enjoyable; (2) to work closely with you to create your wedding day vision, and (3) making sure that you can enjoy and relax on your big day knowing that you have a professional at the helm.
Speak to any bride about wedding planning, and invariably the word "stress" will come up. It is not a mystery that wedding planning is difficult. It takes a event professional 200+ hours to plan an event with all the elements of a wedding. Most brides need to do this without the advantage of professional experience while juggling a full time job. Not every wedding is the same, and what worked in someone else's wedding might not work in yours.
Other than the workload and time required, the biggest stress comes from not knowing whether you have done everything, and the financial stress of not knowing how much more you have to spend.
We have hosted over 500 weddings where over 80% of our couples are of Asian or Chinese descent. We know weddings!
So after meeting with you and understanding what you need, we will help you create your unique customised wedding planning worksheet. You'll know exactly how much you will need to spend, what you have to do and when you have to do them. And if you are stuck, we are always here to help.
As your wedding planner, we are your one-point contact with all your suppliers. Our couples can do what other couples do in several weeks in several hours.
Event Weddings is networked to the biggest names in the wedding industry, and we offer you exclusive VIP upgrades for Sydney's top venues, and exclusive prices and packages from the best wedding suppliers.
As professional event planners, we have the unique ability to visualise events not just in pictures but also in videos! When we look at a wedding element, we also consider everything around it, as well as the logistics and practicalities behind every single item.
When we work with our couples, it's not just about being creative and "pretty, pretty, pretty here, here and here." but we are passionate about good organisation, logistics and preparation. This is all about helping you maximising the impact of your creative elements.
Like many of our couples, many of us are born or raised in Australia with Asian backgrounds. We are in-between traditions and have unique needs. Knowing this, we have pioneered many new projects and programmes that are firsts in Australia, establishing ourselves as the most trusted name in the Australian-Asian wedding industry.
Sydney Annual Modern Asian Wedding Expo: Australia's only Australian-Asian wedding expo held annually in Darling Harbour. It showcases Sydney's best wedding suppliers that understand the needs of Australian-Asian brides.
* E+Wedding Magazine: Australia's only Chinese-English wedding magazine and wedding guide that helps couples plan their big day.
* Free Wedding Planning Service: Launched Australia's only free wedding planning / agency service.
* Free Venues Service: Launched Australia's only free venues service offering exclusive VIP upgrades / discounts to over 20 top wedding venues in Sydney.
* Australian-Asian Wedding Programme: Developed and established 30+ wedding runsheets for different kinds of Australian-Asian weddings.
The last thing you want in your wedding day is for helpers, staff and professionals to be popping in every several minutes asking you questions.
We will know your better than you, we will be the central point of contact and we will provide updates and reminders to you like clockwork.
Good planning is dictates the success of your wedding event, and we always think it is such a shame when a bride on her wedding day needs to run around tying up loose ends, frowning and even yelling at people, commonly known as the "Bridezilla" syndrome.
This happens because expectations have not been properly communicated and things are not turning out as the bride has hoped. But more likely, something unexpected arises and no one has the experience to make a call. Speak to event professionals and they will tell you that a good event organiser is about two things, good preparation, and the ability to respond to surprises.
As professional event planners, we are trained to identify potential risks right at the outset and help you minimise them. We are equipped with the skills, experience and resources to deal with any unexpected circusmatances on the day. And you will know that you're in the best of hands!
