Jenny and Joe reached out to us because they lived in China and were finding planning a wedding from afar to be difficult. They wanted someone on the ground in Orlando be their eyes and ears in regards to the event. We love working with couples in other destinations to plan their weddings. Our services far extended beyond our regular wedding planning services as Cathrina designed gift bags and welcome cards along with event signage. Jenny and Joe originally met while obtaining their masters degrees in in California. Their wedding was a mix of guests from all over the world, China, Australia, England, California and beyond. They so enjoyed being with their wedding guests that did pre wedding photos with all of them and even departed the reception with their guests in their shuttle instead of having their own transportation. To honor both of their heritages, they had their traditional tea ceremony in Jenny’s hometown of Taipei, Taiwan and their wedding at the church Joe grew up in. The colors were purple and gold and are associated with royalty, prosperity and neutrality. They even had their own royalty treatment as their photographer was a fashion photographer who has shot for Vogue and Elle.



Can not imagine if we didn’t have the help from Michele Butler Events! Made me wedding day so much smoother! Thank you!!

From the bride and groom:

Some of my favorite details were how we incorporated my heritage and our current residence, Shanghai. The favor boxes that has the Double Happiness, a character used at weddings, cut out and printed on the customized chocolate labels. The Groom’s specialty cocktail—whiskey and green tea—truly reflected our lives in Shanghai.

Also, I loved the huge majestic tree in Loch Haven Park near the Orlando Museum of Art. It was an unexpected surprise to find something that magical.
