“Dear Hannah,

Thanks again for all your effort. It was a fantastic and amazing wedding "

~Isabella & Jeffrey Owen Cronkshaw, 29 Janauary 10~

“Thanks Jas, we couldn't have pulled off our beautiful wedding without you and your team. Speak to you soon"

~Cheryl & Jonathan Guwe, 31 Janauary 10~

“Dear Hannah,

Thank you and your team for a perfect wedding ! Everything turned out perfectly !! You and your team have done an amazing job. My bestman (Vinh) told me he was especially impressed as he witnessed the transformation of White Rabbit coz he came to the rehersal the day before, and said to me that if he needs to organize events in Singapore, he'll definitely ask for your help (if you not already retired by then... oh! but I forgot to tell him that you do things overseas too ! Will definitely tell him next time I speak to him).

~ Fiona & Eugene Hse, 12 December 09~

“Dear Hannah,

We cannot thank you enough. You have managed more than a wedding. You have calmed nerves, gained trust from militant characters and charmed friends. You have listened, gently prompted and coordinated from day 1. You are truly wedding planner extraordinaire"! ~ Jenise & K Tham Lim, 7 November 09~

“Hi Hannah, Irene, Charissa, Jas and Jo Jo (hope I haven’t left anyone out) Thank you for being the dream team for Jenise last Saturday. You guys were just fabulous – cool under pressure and all of you looked hot.So glad that everything went so well because it was in your good hands. My dearest friend is safely hitched. My job is done, for now. Hope you do christening parties in Bali cos I’m certainly not planning it. Will be hiding in the spa from the 900 people. While Jenise was shaking a thousand hands, I was being manhandled by the kids on the dance floor. Don’t know which is worse!! But it was earth shatteringly fun and it’s all that matters. A huge thank you and standing ovation for being stellar!" ~ Karen Quek, Jenise's Matron Of Honour ~

“Dear Hannah & Heaven's Gift Team,

We would like to thank you and your team for making our wedding such a memorable and beautiful day. When we first engaged your services, some people questioned us, "if a wedding planner the right way to go?" We are so happy that we stayed with our convictions, Heaven's Gift delivered as what was promised. The Gazebo with the lanterns, the colour scheme of the rooms of the Casuarina suites looked absolutely fabulous. We both felt like we were the stars of a movie. The candy corner looked and tasted fantastic and the photo booth had people engaged and gave the guests' something that they had never experienced before. The confetti was.. well remained in the cone, unused.. and we are hoping that we can get a refund????!!! Joking aside, we have heard from our guests that they have never experienced such a fun wedding - P & G modern and chic wedding with a touch of blue is a blast.

Joseph, one of our groomsmen who has been to a number of Singaporean's weddings said that our wedding was the first for him that Caucasians and locals mixed so well and enjoyed themselves. Heaven's Gift - you have done it! Bringing cultures and people together, not an easy task... Thank you so much for making this the "best day of our lives"

~ Gladys & Philip Carrigan, 3 October 2009 ~

“I remember discussing the theme with Hannah at her office, looking at the painted eggs (hubby's one broke! my fault), site visits...and the time we went to try out gowns! I was on my conference call while Hannah bought me lunch, I ate my lunch, drove to Tan Yoong and tried my gown while on the call all the time. On hindsight, I should have just hung up and try to enjoy my bridal fitting! Hannah was probably scared all the time I was driving and talking (eh, no hands free) but she didn't show it! Haha!
It has been 2+ years since we got married at Changi Cottage. Amidst all the hustle bustle of my packed work life, I sometimes recall moments from that day. Eadwine patiently snapping away in the heat with his shirt stuck to him, the beautiful setup at the cottage, the flower pots hanging from the tree, the very good food, too much champagne too early (my fault), the sweet solemnization :) i wanted to cry, the drunk first dance, my guest getting drunk under the tree and having his wallet taken by, um, his friends...

I guess what i wanted to say is a thank you. I didn't have the time (what's new) to write after the wedding (head was aching from the champagne), wanted to write after the honeymoon and was too busy working. Finally, maternity leave! i love our government ;) One of these days, I should marry Chak again, or he should marry me, so says his friends. And you will be our wedding planner again?”

~ A lovely and unexpected note on our facebook from one of our ex-bride Josephine Chia on July 2009 ~

“Dear Hannah,

I write in the hope you remember me.  I am unable to sleep this night, feeling nostalgic. The better part of the  last 2 hours or so from 3 am has been spent pouring through the photos of Nisha's wedding and sangeet and reception. That entire week, and in particular the wedding in the garden was, for me, truly magical and a fantasy. My thoughts turned to you. A year has passed since Nisha's wedding, and a bit more since we first met.  I recall you asked why we were not going for an Indian planner for an Indian wedding.  I remember telling you that I wanted a fresh, modern - an outsider's - view of an Indian wedding (which was to be coupled with a western wedding); and more importantly, Nisha, who was captivated by your prowess, insisted I engage you.  When you said you knew next to nothing of Indian weddings, I recall telling you we would educate you as we go along.  You were an excellent student!   I refused to come over to your place after 3 times (having to climb the 3 storeys staircase.  By then I trusted you with the details; and you discharged that trust and more.  You even fixed the invitation cards long distance over the phone when we were in France!  Nisha was so right in leaving the fortunes of her wedding in your hands. I cannot forget the emotions I felt (and I think all our guests felt) when you opened the doors to the reception at Intercontinental ... it was an enchanting evening.  You made Nisha's and Lois's wedding the dream I always wanted for them.  So, a year on, and if I have not said it before, Thank You, Hannah.  You are indeed blessed; and we were truly fortunate.”  

~ A surprised email from an Uncle of our ex-bride, Nisha ~

“Dear Hannah,

Thank you to you and the team for a job well done. We’re also impressed with your professionalism and level of service. Definitely let’s keep in touch as I wish to recommend your expertise to my peers running events in Singapore. This is a comment from one of our client : very well organised, beautiful table arrangements and colour of decor."

~ Pauline Oh, GM of Real Estate- Terrapinn Pte Ltd , 23 & 24 June 2009 ~

“Dear Hannah, Josephine and Elena, Bill and I just got back from our Honeymoon in South Africa and I just wanted to thank all of you for helping us plan our special day. Everything went so smoothly and everyone had so much fun. I still can’t believe how packed the dance floor was and how spontaneous everyone was. All my family and friends have been saying how much fun they had at the wedding, that was it the best wedding they have ever been to… etc. etc. The day went by so quickly and we wished we could prolong it as much as possible, I am so happy I made the decision to film the day so that I can re-live each moment."

~ Amy & Bill Doramus , 9 May 2009 ~

“Dearest Hannah, Josephine and Elena I've finally had a quiet moment to reflect on the amazing event that just took place. As I start to recall the details of the wedding, I feel a bit overwhelmed by all the effort that must have gone into planning the day and making it happen. Everything was picture perfect from the overall decor, to the lighting, to the spectacular flower arrangements right down to the cards you printed our vows on. And the best part? I did close to nothing!! I don't think words do justice to how I feel but I'm going to try..."

"Dear Hannah, many thanks to you and your team! You have made our wedding event beautiful & memorable. Thanks to you & your team's hard work. All our guests enjoyed themselves. Here's a small token of our appreciation."

~ Sally & Wilson Tan , 21 March 2009 ~

“Dear Hannah, thank you for the most wonderful and magical wedding. It was a wedding that we both enjoyed thoroughly. It’s our greatest pleasure to have worked with you. Your sense of professionalism and personal touch is beyond first class. Our friends and family all tell us that it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended! Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts."

~ Sandra & Soo Yong Chua , 28 February 2009 ~

“Hannah, thank you and yr team of girls for yesterday. It went well I thought and parents are happy. Will not have done it without you. Thanks again. Will call when we get back – Ian”. “Thank u Hannah for everything. Pls send my regards to you team too and thank them for their efforts. Sleep Well- Felicia”

~ Felicia & Ian Chye, 3 January 2009 ~

“Hi Hannah, thanks so much for all of your help in making it a wonderful event. I can't believe it is over after all of the planning and anticipation! I know that having design-oriented and opinionated clients is always a challenge, and we appreciate your advice, patience and professionalism. The whole day was a bit of a blur to me, but all of our friends have told us how much they enjoyed everything from the food and decor to the personal touches and surprises (in particular, the lanterns were a great hit and I love the love letter tins...). I can't wait to see the pictures. I think that our mutual perfectionism, hard work and passion worked out well! We had so many friends fly in from all over the world, and I am happy to say that everyone has said that it was great fun and well worth it. We are very glad that we were able to work with you on our wedding. Thanks again and I hope that you (and Josephine) will get some rest over the festive season. Happy holidays!“

~ Katherine & Gregory Tribbe, 29 November 2008 ~

“Hannah at Heavens Gift helped us to organise our wedding at Raffles Hotel on 2 November 2008. As an overseas (British) and Singapore Chinese couple, Hannah's advice and encouragement was invaluable. In addition to sharing her deep knowledge of the Singapore wedding market place (eg as regards venues, florists, musicians etc.), Hannah and her team were of particular assistance in helping us to negotiate with Raffles Hotel, suggesting themes and colours for our beautiful fusion wedding and stage-managing the big day. Hannah's fees were extremely reasonable in relation to her hard work. She always answered the phone and replied quickly to our queries, and never complained when we changed our mind (rather often!) about the details of the wedding. An excellent service that I can readily recommend, Henry Cort”

~ A reference mail from our couple – Vi Ling & Henry Cort, 2 November 2008 ~

“Dear Hannah & team, we are so fortunate that we engaged your team to plan our wedding. From preparation to the actual day, everything is so perfectly done, every details are taken care of; and always above our expectations. No would have believed that we were the bride and groom as we were, so stress-less & Darren even had a swim before the ceremony. All our friends have come to us to let us know how different our wedding is & how much they have enjoyed on that night. A lot of our guests also remarked on the beautiful flower arrangements, (both indoor and outdoor), the food, & the exquisite wedding cake. Also, not forgetting the professionals that you have recommended. I think, through you, we got the best team for our wedding. Bobbie, she is just wonderful, so professional. She made me feel/look like the most beautiful bride. Wan Sheng & Yang-both of them are so funny when they work together. They complement each other. The girls just adore them. Saw our pics on Wansheng’s website, love his work, can’t wait to see the video. I’m glad you talk us into getting Yang as our videographer. Rev Ho is such a nice guy, we can feel that he wants us to have a happy marriage. Hsin Yeow and team are just fantastic, making the wedding so lively. We are most sincerely grateful for your effort & all the advice that you have given us. Remember when we said we didn’t want the wedding veil nor the “Yum Seng”. We are glad we heed your advice, otherwise the wedding will never be the same. I can still remember on our 1st phone conversation, you asked me if I am a typical Singaporean. I hope I haven’t been too difficult to work with! You won’t believe it but a few of my friends are considering getting a wedding planner. If they get married, even my auntie said, “whoever getting married next, get a wedding planner!” The only regret that I have is that we didn’t have a picture with you guys. If ever you are coming to Perth again, please give us a call/drop us an email, we will try our best to accommodate you. Thanks again. With much love, Peng Tzee & Darren.”

~ Peng Tzee & Darren Phoon, 25 October 2008 ~

“A simple note can barely say all of how we felt that magical day. It all happened so quickly and suddenly, it ended as quickly as it started… and before we knew, it’s over and done ! Months of preparation and grands of dollars spent to craft a one-of-a-kind wedding, unique to us, and us alone. In fact, family and friends enjoyed the lawn reception so tremendously, marvelling at the works and wonders of the flowers and décor Heaven’s Gift had so ingeniously put together, that it left them reminiscing with awe weeks after the celebration… Han Sia and I would really like to take this time to say “Thank You !” friends are already enquiring and asking for referrals and guess it won’t be long before we get to attend a spectacular wedding administered by Heaven’s Gift. Only this time, we won’t be the jittery couple but ‘tranquil’ attendees…So, thank you again, not forgetting Josephine, Elena and a bunch of others we missed out to thank from behind the scene. Simply magnifito ! Surely a lifetime of memories to savour. :)”

~ Rachel & Han Sia, 31 August 2008 ~

"Hannah...I've been looking at the wedding slideshow that Kuang made for us over and over again. I am reliving the wedding days. It has not been that long ago...just over a month...but I am already nostalgic. Looking at the pictures, some of the stress of the day comes back and so does the feeling of joy and fun we had throughout the events. It is only now sinking in - SO MANY people took the time to come to our wedding and give us their wishes. We are truly blessed. And the wedding would not have been possible without all your effort and commitment. It would have been impossible to find someone else to manage the wedding better than you did. I feel like getting married to Lois all over again. If that does happen, it goes without saying, you will be our wedding planner. :)"

~ Nisha Blanc, 9 & 11 July 2008 (an unexpected email from her, 1 month after her wedding) ~

"Hey Hannah! Just wanted to thank u for everything. We have a great time n all our guests enjoyed the wedding! It wouldn’t have been possible without u. Saw the few pics on Kuang’s blog. Can’t wait to see the rest! They look yummy."

~ Nisha Blanc, 9 & 11 July 2008 ~

"Hi Josephine and Hannah, we just got back from our honeymoon, it was lovely. Hee…we also couldn't stop reminiscing about the wedding! We definitely enjoyed ourselves and judging from the many positive feedback from the guests, we're sure they did too :) Thanks for doing a wonderful job, cant wait for the photos!"

~ Linda & KC Yeo, 10 May 2008 ~

"Thank you Hannah for being such a blessing. We really left everything in your team's capable hands and trusted everything would turn out well especially at the end- and we definitely were not let down!"

~ Shuming & Edmund Ching, 12 April 2008 ~

"Thank you Hannah and team for being our "six-week wonder"! Thank you for putting together a beautiful celebration for us within such a short time and for all your guidance and effort in making our special day more than special. We had a fantastic time at the wedding and so did our guests! It would have not been possible without you girls. Give us a shout when you are next in NYC."

~ Joelle & Jos Briggs, 28 March 2008 ~

"Hi Hannah, thank you for everything you’ve done for us, especially for preparing the wedding. You and your team had done a wonderful job for us. We’ve got compliments from our friends and family with the decoration you’ve done in the wedding. Looking forward to see the pictures. A lot of our friends and family in US are anxious to watch it too. Thank you again. It’s been a pleasure to work with you."

~ Lestari & Eugene Belinkov

"Dear Hannah, ... More importantly, Jeremy and I want to thank you and your team for your hard work, creative ideas and putting up with us over 18 month preparation period. We had a great time, and so did many of our guests. Both venues looked really beautiful and unique, which was one of our primary objectives. We could not have achieved this without the help of your team, so please pass on our appreciation and compliments to Josephine, Elena, TG, Sharon, Kuang, Eng Hong and everyone else behind the scenes that we have not met."

~Gail & Jeremy Tan, 24 & 26 Dec 2007~

"Dearest Hannah, A big Thank You to you and Your team! The entire process of preparing our wedding was made enjoyable & fun because of the meticulous & fun wedding you did! We (esp. me!) enjoyed this theme wedding that we had! It was a dream come through! The guests were full of praises too! Here's wishing you & your team a wonderful Christmas & great 2008!"

~ Nicole & Jiawei Huang, 8 Dec 2007~

"Thanks Hannah, we really love everything that u planned. :)"

~ Huixian & Kervin Ng, 1 Dec 2007~

"Dear Hannah, we still think about the wedding day - the day itself past so quickly like a flash after the long months of preparation with you.  It was like a dream come true for us!  Many of our friends told us that it was one of the most beautiful weddings they have attended :)  For us, it was everything that we have wanted our wedding to be :)  Thank you so much again Hannah!  Not sure when you are going to the US for your convention, hope you enjoy a great trip! Eden plans to be in Singapore at the end of Nov - weekend of Nov 30-Dec 2.  We would love to catch up with both of you and Sharon over lunch, tea or dinner to thank you.  Please let us know if you are available and would be good to check the photos and video as well if they can be ready."

~ Lisa & Eden Kim, 8 Oct 2007 ~

Thanks Hannah and your team for all your help on this wonderful event - we will surely recommend you to any of our single friends thinking of going down the matrimonial route ."

~ Lena & Paul Ng, 30 June 2007~

Hannah, thank you for everything. All that was in the wedding was exactly what we have desired and wanted..."

~ A happy call from Jo, Jo & Chak, 2 June 2007~

Thank you so much once again Hannah, for all you have done. You've been a real great help. Look forward to see the pix and video."

~ Sue Ann & Robin Tan, 9 Dec 2006~

Hi Hannah, thanks so much for everything. We enjoyed it last night. Guests were happy. Thanks for allowing us to tie up the loose ends after we get back from the honeymoon. A big thank you to you and your team for the fantastic execution work on our night. "

~ Maxine & Jack Lim, 25 Nov 2006 ~

Hi Hannah, thanks so much for the wonderful job you and your team did. Also special thanks to TG who did a fab job! Thanks again for your help - it was great - we have had so many people say it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to!! which is great to hear. We cannot wait to see the photos and the video, so please let us know as soon as they are ready. In the meantime - a lot of my friends are asking for your details, so hope you don’t mind, I have forwarded them your details... take care and speak soon."

Hello!! You've gotten the photos already! Yay!! Andrew and I can't wait! Thanks a bundle, Hannah... couldn't have done it without you! If you are ever in Scotland, you have to tell us!! *smile* We're so sorry we couldn't meet up with you after the wedding... Andrew and I were so busy, it was crazy! However, we have to make it a point to keep in touch even though the wedding has come and gone! Will meet up the next time we're in Singapore! Anyways, Hannah... thanks once again for all your hard work and your passion. God's really blessed you with such a great business, and I'm sure you're touching hearts while organizing the best days of a couple's lives together! Take care, and keep in touch!! God bless

~ May and Andrew Doig, 21 Jul 2006~

Hi Hannah, we are very pleased with the wedding on Friday.  It far exceeded my expectations.  I actually had a great time (even the dancing!). Many thanks

~ Bing & Ross Campbell, 14 Jul 2006~

"Dear Hannah, on behalf of Daniel, Kenneth and Andrea, I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU for a job well done last Saturday at the Chijmes. The whole event was very well planned, from the official start at 10.00am till the official end at 1.30pm (before the commencement of the private tea ceremony) the event ran so smoothly like a perfect clockwork. We have received numerous very favorable comments from our guests. As rightly commented by our guests, it was indeed a beautiful church ceremony followed by the wonderful garden reception. No doubt the excellent flower arrangements both inside the church and throughout the garden have greatly enhanced the experience of all those who were present at the celebrations. The tastefully decorated garden has a fairytale effect which was very pleasing to the eyes. Your effective and meticulous planning of the whole wedding had indeed contributed to the great success of the event and we truly appreciate all the hard work put in by yourself and your staff. As mentioned, we would like to host a dinner when Kenneth and Andrea are back and will be in touch with you shortly. Regards and God Bless

~Serena (Groom's Mum) for Andrea & Kenneth,  18 Mar 2006 ~

 
Thanks Hannah for your work. Good job to you and your team. See you... going off to our honeymoon now. Cheers

~ Trace & Chee Kian,  21 & 22 Jan 2006 ~

"I am counting my blessing each day for all the great things that is happening to me and all the beautiful people that I meet, including you. Thank you so much for walking the journey with us for the past months, learnt a lot and our wedding day will never be so spectacular if you are not with us. Thank you so much. ;)" 

~ Sin Wei & Neil, 11 Sep 2005 ~

Actually, saying that Hannah is just a wedding planner is an understatement. She was also a friend that was there to smoothen and support those stressful times. Her calm demeanor is always welcomed when we (couple) have some disagreements. I was at time fickle and fussy, her patient, astute manner, impeccable taste and creative talents won me over and trusted her completely. The wedding party setup she designed and created was simply beautiful. Hannah and her team certainly pleasantly surprised us and we were more than happy with the whole setup. The whole decor was like a wedding that popped out from those lovely European wedding magazines. We were very impressed and it gave us a memory we could treasure for the rest of our loves. Our guests were also very pleasantly surprised too." 

~ Doreen & Sau Loon, 25 & 26 Jun 2005 ~

"Dear Hannah, Sunday was Perfect! Thanks for assisting throughout the wedding! We can't wait to see the video!"

~ Ern Ling & George,  26 Jun 2005 ~  

"Dear Hannah, Thank you for your help and invaluable advice. Without you, we couldn't have pulled off anything within such a stress-free 2 months! Enclosed is a book thong I made... and you can tell I'm going to start making jewellery pieces next right :). Wishing you all the best for each and every wedding you plan!

~ Jasmin & Terence,  12 Jun 2005 ~  


"From the bottom of both of our hearts, thank you so much for everything. You can trust us to be around when it's your turn.. that is if you trust us;)

~Felicia & Eric, 29 May 2005~


"Realizing that getting married in a different country could be problematic; we were pleasantly surprised with the ease and the efficiency of the process and well-planned ceremony. Your guidance and the preparation of the necessary documentation at the Registry of Marriages were appreciated as we were at that stage still recovering from jetlag and even the most straight forward process appears difficult at first in a foreign country. Your attention to details was apparent after seeing the wedding car, flowers, photographs/DVD, venue, catering etc."

~Antoinette & Corne Van Der Westhuizen, 11 March 2005 ~

"Our Solemnization ceremony at The Legends Fort Cannings on 20th November 2004 was best remembered by the wonderful people who were there sharing it with us, while the sacred vows taking and exchanging of rings were the highlight of the ceremony. Nothing could enhance the atmosphere more than the beautiful flower arrangements and the backdrop carefully handpicked by a team of merry makers from Heaven's Gift. Your dedication and sincerity has given Rachel and I peace of mind to enjoy our moments of love. From the time of our first conceptual meeting with Hannah to the event morning, there were only a couple of calls to fine tune on the requirement, including requesting Hannah to do it within our budget. This has shown a high level of expertise and confidence from the team... and we even got the blessing in doing it within the budget we wanted too, wonderful! While we have pleasant memories, Heaven's Gift could well be our first few picks for our wedding coordination next year. From the both of us... it's no doubt a heaven's gift for such a happy occasion."

~Rachel and Carlos, 20 November 2004~


"We like the floral arrangements done at my church wedding by Hannah and team. It's creative and the flowers are fresh. The feeling we’ve got on the deco is classic and elegant. We are very satisfied with the deco and their services."

~Abi & Alex Ng, 12 June 2004~

"Hannah has been a great coordinator, we felt totally confident leaving our big day to her care. From liaising with the hotel, to flower arrangement to being our emcee, we trust that she would do a good job and indeed she did”

~Rachel & Edwin Lee, 3 January 2004~

"We were very pleased with the generous portions of flowers and the simple yet stylish floral arrangement. We could smell the fresh flowers scent as we walked into the wedding hall!”

~ Joy & Michael Tiew, 26 July 2003~
