And Then Became Us = Excellence

Cynthia has been an absolute star throughout this entire process. We started planning our wedding during the first lockdown which was of course quite a challenge. Cynthia she really took the time to understand exactly what it was that we wanted and went the extra mile to ensure we had that by sourcing the best products/professionals/locations to suit our budget.

As a couple who were quite opposed to the “traditional” way of doing things, we found that Cynthia was incredibly open, patient, positive and even if we did drive her up the wall at times, she never showed it – nothing was too big or too small- a true passionate and focused professional who clearly LOVES what she does.

As the lockdown situation fluctuated, our plans had to change frequently, but all throughout this time, Cynthia remained the effortlessly optimistic planner who knew we would have a fabulous day regardless. I could talk about our wedding at length…but instead, I choose to conclude in a few words, it was simply the beautiful, intimate and elegant affair that we wished for..literally one of the best days of our lives together.

Thankyou Cynthia, for everything.

With our love always
Ama & Greg

Dear Cynthia

“I wanted to write a ‘brief’ message to you, thanking you for all your hard work for making mine & Iqbal’s special day run smoothly, organised and most importantly we had so much fun!

Your professionalism, calmness and kindness was amazing throughout the one and a half year planning process. I work within a very stressful environment as you know my stress levels at times unfortunately over spilled into the wedding preparation, however you maintained this very well. A special thanks to you for taking the time to attend every single visit related to the wedding, inclusive of six dress fittings right up until the week before!

I must point out your brilliant ability to familiarise and understand the processes of my religion and culture being Mauritian Muslim whilst planing the wedding and on the wedding day.

I can’t recall a phone call never not being answered or returned regardless of the day or time, yes 1am at times!!

I wish you the best of luck with your career and business!!

I’m waiting for a couple more will send when I get them.”

Thanks

Cynthia

Thank you Parveen & Iqbal xx

What An Absolute Star

“We decided to use a planner for our wedding journey as we simply did not have the time (or patience) to go through the process on our own. Cynthia carried out an in depth consultation with us initially and presented some fantastic ideas. What started as quite an ornate affair slowly changed to our true desire of an intimate and sumptuous event. Cynthia helped us to realise the importance of doing what resonated with us as opposed to what we felt was expected. As a non traditional bride, Cynthia was able to refine the ideas that I had. No idea was too much or too simple, she listened to us each step of the way and made us feel incredibly at ease with her personable, bubbly, kind yet professional manner. She went out of her way and took the extra mile to make us feel special throughout the whole process. Disappointingly, the pandemic forced us to postpone the wedding until the spring, however Cynthia continously reassured us which was greatly appreciated and went as far as to throw me a surprise hen do on what would’ve been my wedding day (& birthday), it was simply fabulous and such a special touch considering the bitter sweet feelings I had woken up with.

I am so looking forward to our special day and could not thank Cynthia @andthenbecameus enough, she is such a beautiful soul with such passion for what she does.”

With love
