In a captivating celebration of love and unity, Christina and Guy exchanged vows in the heart of London, where their families came together from South Africa and China. The ICA provided a stunning backdrop for the ceremony with its abundant amount of natural light, floor to ceiling windows that overlook the Mall - what more can we say, the views are distinctly London . Organic and sumptuous floral displays adorned the venue, creating the most beautiful atmosphere that reflected the couple's commitment to both nature and elegance.
The party continued at The Hoxton, Southwark which was an informal affair with honestly the best bowl food Ive ever had the lucky chance to try. It's couples like Christina and Guy that make my job incredibly rewarding. Thank you for trusting me, C&G! x

Rebecca was the most incredible coordinator for our summer city wedding in London. We hired her to be a month-of coordinator but she went above and beyond for us; even our guests took us aside to compliment her. She stands out from the crowd with her excellent taste, extreme competence, and lovely personality.
After doing a ton of research to find a suitable coordinator, Rebecca initially stood out for her strong aesthetic sensibility and tasteful eye. She understood our moodboards and suggested vendors that aligned with what we wanted. She helped our florist decorate the venues the day-of and elevated the decor with subtle touches (setting out favors in a particular way, pinning tablecloths to a particular drape).
Beyond her attention to detail and aptitude for last-minute improvisation where needed, Rebecca will also ensure your wedding goes as smoothly as possible with her unparalleled planning and project management skills. She accompanied us to meetings with our venues and vendors, making suggestions for equipment we might need or things to note that we had never even thought of—as we don’t plan weddings often. Rebecca also tailored her services to our specific needs: some of my attending family only speak Chinese and she sourced a lovely Chinese-speaking assistant to guide them on the day.
Above all, Rebecca has a kind, calming, and warm personality, which is absolutely crucial when spending so much time with someone and entrusting them with your wedding. When we faced difficult vendors, she helped draft communications to them and consistently assured us that everything would work out. In every interaction, we felt as if Rebecca truly cared about us and ensuring we had the best time, rather than just carrying out a job.
