Our Story

2002 – 2003 Our Managing Director, Hannah Chong, first discovered her love for weddings and floral arrangements. She started her first wedding projects by assisting in her friends’ wedding decoration.

2004 The humble beginnings of Heaven’s Gift, in a small office at Maxwell House. Hannah was a planner as well as a florist then, she personally handled all the floral arrangements for the weddings she had planned.

2005 A year of “firsts” for Heaven’s Gift! Hannah launched the first of a kind wedding educational workshop in Singapore to inspire couples on the steps of creating a thematic wedding. Together with Amanda Lee Weddings, 39 East Photography, Vivid Shots and Substance Films and Poppy Restaurant, couples were given ideas and advice on how to elegantly create thematic weddings, from the overall concept to intricate details like gown designs, and even to the art of creating the right wedding menu. It was also in 2005 that Hannah decided to differentiate herself from just mere logistics planner to concept planner for her clients.

2006 Heaven’s Gift participated in more wedding shows - Vera Wang Autumn Seasons by The Link with Female Brides Publications, Raffles Romance Weddings with Raffles Hotel.

2007 An exciting year for Heaven’s Gift, as we began to cross borders to create events. Our first destination wedding was planned in the renowned Como Shambhala in Bali. In the same year, we assisted one of our clients in events at Hotel Seiyo Ginza and Ropponggi Hills Club Tokyo.



2008 A breathtaking concept set - “The Cherry Blossom Fantasy” that created a buzz for us.  Hannah wanted to give her couple and guests a glimpse of cherry blossom trees blooming from dawn to night.  She began her search for the perfect cherry blossom trees painting, but found none. Together with our in-house designer, Elena, Hannah decided to re-create her own stage backdrop painting depicting a garden of cherry blossom trees instead. Further expanding the vision, Hannah and Brenda Lee from Fiore Dorato explored many options to perfect the construction. The final transformation of the cherry blossom trees from dawn to night was completed with Hannah’s final directives of the lighting effects. Every stage of the wedding concept was well thought of and deployed. This marked the beginning of us pursuing and customising thematic creatives in all our wedding projects.

2009 Hannah was given an opportunity to join and observe the world premier event planner - Colin Cowie at work in Hong Kong for a week during the launch of the new Mira Hotel – the hotel that Colin has designed and transformed. The experience reinforced some of her past learnings as well as sharpened her further to observe spaces and create designs from a different perspective.

We were also awarded Best Wedding Planners from Tatler - The Best of Singapore 2009.  In the same year, Hannah was nominated for the Spirit of Enterprise Award 2009.

2010 Our very first extensive architectural design for an overseas project in Seychelles. The building of 400sqm hanging trellis overlooking the coast, to seat a capacity of 250 guests dining under the stars was an unforgettable experience. Beyond just floral decorations and lightings, we have moved into deploying various materials to create weddings with a refreshing outlook – something that we have always desired. In the same year, we were awarded a second time Best Wedding Planners from Tatler - The Best of Singapore 2010.

In July 2010, we launched our new icon – “The olive tree by the stream” as a further extension of our corporate logo and identity. This new icon was inspired as a reflection of the growth of Heaven’s Gift - how we have journeyed and how we will continue in the upcoming years. It is a symbol of evergreen growth, rooted with steadfast philosophy and principles. We have been blessed with many great couples and inspiring works for the past 7 years, and we believe for more amazing creations moving forward.
