Who you will work with
Four of us share every wedding: a planner, a designer, a venue specialist and a banquet professional. Here is who does what, and what to ask each of us.
Ilse Pettersen
Team role 01
Ilse is a Certified Master Wedding Planner (CMWP) with a B.A. in Hospitality Management and more than twelve years in event production. She leads every first consultation, sorts the decisions that shape the day from the ones that can wait, and keeps the creative brief honest to your budget before a single vendor is booked.
Ask Ilse about: which service fits, budget priorities and your first big decision.
Desmond Achebe
Team role 02
Desmond is a Certified Floral Designer (CFD), Accredited in Floral Design (AED), with eight years in wedding and editorial styling. On partial and full planning he builds the palette, materials and in-season flower choices around your venue, then writes them up so your florist and rental company can quote from them.
Ask Desmond about: palettes, seasonal flowers and table styling.
Doreen Slack
Team role 03
Doreen is a Certified Special Events Professional (CSEP) with seven years in venue operations and contract negotiation. She leads our venue walkthroughs, reads minimums, curfews and access rules before you sign, and keeps your approvals and documents in order from the first enquiry to the final handoff.
Ask Doreen about: venue questions, contract terms and what to prepare for a meeting.
Ramon Delgado
Team role 04
Ramon is a Certified Food and Beverage Executive and ServSafe Manager with nine years in fine-dining banquet operations. He turns the confirmed plan into the day’s schedule and setup notes, organises tastings and dietary requirements with your caterer, and runs coordination on the day so courses, toasts and deliveries land in order.
Ask Ramon about: catering timelines, dietary needs and wedding-day logistics.
