WA: What are your favourite cities to work in?

JCV: Phuket in Thailand. Here I started my wedding planning journey. The natural backgrounds are gorgeous and feature the most beautiful ceremony spots. I personally adore Marrakech. Luxury riads dimmed in candle lights, spectacular gardens full of roses and jasmines, and mysterious Arabian palaces waiting for couples, in the exotic city nestled between the Sahara Desert and the Atlas Mountains. Morocco’s ‘Red City’ stands among the most prominent and acclaimed wedding destinations in the entire world. New York is also a city I adore. The bright lights, the unparalleled skyline, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Central Park — amazing scenery every season.
