As the first Wedding Planner at Hera Studios, I built and established our wedding planning department from the ground up. I led a team of two coordinators, ensuring every wedding was flawlessly planned and executed. My role involved liaising with couples, managing timelines, and coordinating with vendors to create unforgettable wedding experiences. We were able to bridge the gap to include wedding planning or coordinating services with our high end photo and video production team.
