Introduction 簡介
It has been my dream to be a wedding planner since I was a wedding Dress Designer in Taipei, Taiwan and China, from 2001 to 2005. My dream only came true when I arranged my own wedding in Bali Island. After a professional wedding planner training seminar at The Wedding Planning Institute, Borough of Manhattan Community College, New York, NY, I found that my potential is not just as a talented wedding gown designer, but also as a professional wedding planner.
成為一個專業婚禮企劃師(Wedding Planner)，是我長久以來的夢想！這個夢想要追溯到2001年到2005年間,當我替幾個台灣外銷美國有名的婚紗品牌, 擔任婚紗設計的工作; 而我的夢想一直無法實現,直到2013年,我替自己企劃設計,在巴里島主題婚禮,才真正實現.後來,陸續接受The Wedding Planning Institute德拉瓦城區大學和紐約曼哈頓Borough分校,美式專業婚禮企劃師證照班的訓練, 突然間產生創意靈感, 把過去的婚紗設計工作的專業技術, 與美式婚禮的主題概念結合起來, 成為現在歐美婚禮市場最受歡迎的主題婚禮和婚紗設計風格.
Experience 經驗
To be understand planning & designing of American theme weddings, I took a job working for the John James Audubon Center at Mill Grove which is a well-known outdoor wedding venue in the U.S. It is one of 23 bird ecology museums.

From there, my team created more than 100 theme weddings every year. It opened opportunities to create a variation of outdoor ceremonies, banquet decorations and updated styles and trends for theme weddings.
在那裡, 我們的團隊每年完成100對以上的婚禮, 讓我見識到, 各種不同主題風格的戶外婚禮, 以及各種規模不同的婚宴會場佈置, 所用的主題和表現素材, 以及呈現的效果, 都是目前最新最流行的方式.
