Dreaming is always good, whatever the motivation! Love, travel, employment, own home... Even though in some cases it may seem like a utopia. The dream is the light, the force that stimulates our fight for what we believe in.

I remember the question they once asked an almost engaged couple: what would their big dream be? They thought a little and the answer was in unison: “A perfect wedding party, with everything you could imagine in a wedding celebration, from an event hall with stylish decoration, a renowned buffet service, a church, ornaments... ”.

And their imaginations soared and they started putting together a super party in their heads. Would this be possible? First of all, for a dream wedding to be such a special event, it must be one that is possible, within the couple's financial limits and with established priorities. Once this requirement is met, the dream begins to take on a more real shape, once it is well planned and thought out, with your feet on the ground.

The question is whether it is worth investing in a wedding consultancy. Undoubtedly! Advice is not a cost, it is an investment! The consultancy will optimize the couple's resources and work to ensure that their wedding day is as the couple dreamed. From choosing the right suppliers for your event, to organizing the big day; She will work to ensure the couple has a perfect wedding party. Quality advice will influence the entire outcome of the party and avoid headaches, which are so common in such events. And, most importantly, it will allow the couple to fully enjoy their party!

Having gone through a somewhat frustrating personal experience in her own marriage, added to the testimonies of other couples equally dissatisfied with the parties they held, sansei Renata Watanabe Kose found herself with the courage to take her first steps in the events segment, this more than twenty years ago.

At the time, having graduated in Business Administration and working in the area of ​​Human Resources in multinational companies, Renata already demonstrated a pleasure in participating and collaborating with family parties and corporate events. Possibly, due to his affable and communicative temperament, he realized that he performed very well in customer service and after-sales activities, in services that required interaction with people.

Renata, after completing yet another job, exhausted, at the dawn of the next morning, she usually “feels like a fairy godmother, a guardian angel, of being able to be in the right place, at the right time, at the back of the church, organizing the procession and arranging the bride's dress, train and veil, just as the team is taking care of the altar and, at the same time, following the order of the songs sung by the choir, paying attention to the smallest details.” She feels that, at this time, she is fulfilling her mission as an event advisor.
