It's not every day that you meet one, and we were really intrigued by what she does. And from what we see in the movies, it's hardly enough to even remotely piece together what her job involves.

Macquarie who helps couples select and plan a ceremony that best reflects what they have always wished and desired for. This is one special day where you'd want everything to be as you dreamed.
