Chinese Weddings

Chinese wedding planner in Toronto area

Hi. I was wondering if anyone knows of any Chinese wedding planners in the Toronto area? Some googling brought me to one called Devoted to You, but I'd like to have the option of interviewing at least a couple of people before choosing. My fiancé is Chinese (born in HK), while I'm probably best described as "plain white" and have no culture to speak of, plus his family is at least 30x the size of mine, so we're going to do the Chinese banquet. But he's kind of useless when it comes to details about his culture, and his parents are trying so hard not to be pushy that I'm afraid I won't get enough feedback from them. (For instance, if they know that the food at a hall that I'm considering isn't very good, they wouldn't tell me for fear of being too demanding.) I know, I know - here come the violins for the in-laws who aren't pushy enough! :)I would appreciate any recommendations.... Thanks!

    Hi! Actually, I can recommend a great wedding planner that would be just perfect for your situation! Double Happiness Events is run by Shirley Lo-Cadotte, who is herself of Chinese descent and married to a "plain white" Canadian! She speaks Cantonese, and no one could have a better perspective on the cultural aspects of both Chinese and western weddings. Full disclosure: Shirley and her family are friends of mine, but as a friend I can attest to her warm personality and total commitment to her clients. I didn't know Shirley when I chose my own wedding planner, but if I had I certainly would have hired her myself! You can reach Shirley through her website at http://doublehappinessevents.ca/ . Hope she works out for you, and best wishes for your wedding!
