Now when Eileen and I were talking (yes one of our lover’s talk) about weddings , how tired we were and how we wanted to retire in luxury. The conversation quickly went to the wedding industry , then to how when we first started 9 -10 years ago we were the only wedding planners in town and now there are more and more sprouting out. We decided we needed a change of scenery and then the idea for The Wedding Planners, Cambodia came up (and our idea of retiring and being tired of the industry went down the drain).
Starting up in Cambodia has been challenging, come this August we are 1 year old and its been a really exciting year. The local wedding community in Cambodia had to be educated on our style of weddings, but the luxury market has proved to be supportive in our efforts.
Our next step (yes retiring has definitely been buried) is to expand throughout the Indochina region. Now one will say why Indochina? But to us we need the challenge, planning destination and ballroom weddings are great but predictable. We want the unknown, it may slap us in the face but I believe with out perseverance we should at least reap some seeds if not fruits.
