“My various jobs and personal interactions over the years have put me in front of a great number of varied people. My judge of character has been sharpened by this and allows me to rely on my instincts. My initial meeting with Charm enabled me to trust those instincts telling me pretty much all I needed to know; that she would be calm, efficient, trustworthy, fair and be there as it became tough, as I knew I was not going to be asking for anything normal. Her immediate and efficient follow up then sealed the deal.

Charm stood out from the rest as Honest, reliable, realistic and with an aura that whatever I threw at her, it would be approached with a ‘can do’ attitude….and I really did throw all sorts at her. I subsequently found out that we were definitely not the only wedding MM ran for the 12 month build up (obviously) and at the time of our wedding but there was barely a mention of anything else, most of the time it appeared that every moment MM had in their day was being dedicated to us.

Take organizing a wedding in the UK – it is hard work and takes a certain kind of person who is highly organized, committed and has great people skills… …now imagine cranking the temperature up to 35 degrees by, clog all the roads with Tuk- Tuks so that everyone goes at no more than 15mph…literally everywhere. Then add tropical storms, nearly 100% humidity and add into this folk who operate at the kind of pace that you might expect gentile Island holiday tropical paradise folk to operate at and you begin to see the mountains that Magical Moments move in order to match Western expectations with old World charm and elegance.

Was I happy with their services ? I Could not have been happier!

Personally, I have been telling friends who have weddings in the UK already booked, to bin the plans and get everyone on a plane to SL as soon as possible. You need loyal friends when you are organizing something so huge , that matters so much, and that is so far away. Many people are against pushing the boundaries and doing something as different as a four-day wedding, on the other side of the World. There was plenty of polite opposition, but loyal friend is exactly what we made in Charm and lifelong one at that.”

“Charm and her team were wonderful to work with! From the initial days of planning to the day of the wedding they were very friendly, professional and organized. Charm made the whole process of wedding planning fun and stress free. From every vendor she recommended to every small detail, everything was amazing!

We couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful day and we are thankful to Charm and her team for all they did for us during this special time!

Lots of love!”

“My husband and I held our destination wedding in Colombo in Nov of 2017. Charm and her team were instrumental in transforming our dream celebration into reality, with such attention to detail and clear and constant communication, despite us not being there. During the event, Charm and her team were always on standby, cheerful and helpful to ensure that our full focus was on enjoying each moment.

Thanks, Charm! x”

“Charm and her team helped us to create our ideal wedding. We knew having it overseas would be difficult to coordinate and organize but luckily, we were recommended Magical moments and put in their capable care.

We wanted our wedding to be as stress free as possible so we could enjoy our weekend of festivities. Charm and her team were meticulous, thorough and had lots of creative ideas. The team provided us with alternative suggestions, excellent recommendations and also used their expertise to advise us. Charm has a unique ability to capture her client’s idea and elevate it. Her coordination, design style and attention to detail is truly incredible.

We had planned three days of festivities as we had family and friends flying in from all over the world and each event was beautifully set up, the team were there to support us at each event to ensure it ran smoothly. For us, this aspect was extremely important as it meant we didn’t have to worry or stress about any issues behind the scenes and could enjoy being in the moment, which we are incredibly grateful for.

Our wedding was everything we pictured and more, it was perfect and we had the most magnificent day and weekend. We would highly recommend Magical Moments to anyone who is planning a wedding or event. Thank you again, Charm & team, for helping to create our perfect wedding.”

Charm & Chanuki were so much fun to work with. I had to postpone my wedding three times and they always comforted me throughout it and came up with the best solution. Charm designed the most wonderful wedding for me! It truly depicted what I wanted and who I was as a person. In terms of the wedding coordination and execution my wedding was done to absolute perfection with every little detail thought out perfectly. Being a covid bride was not easy but having a wonderful team like Magical Moments made it much easier and comforting. Can’t wait to work with them on my future events!

“Charm and her team at Magical Moments were a pleasure to work with. They understood what we were looking for and were able to work with a whole host of local vendors to bring it to life. The entire event was meticulously coordinated from start to finish, and that made it possible for us to be completely relaxed to enjoy the company of our friends and family. I would highly recommend working with them to plan your big day !”

Our initial vision of a wedding in Sri Lanka was to have a traditional western style of wedding within a tropical setting, and what better way to do this than in my Father’s home country of Sri Lanka – Charm managed to give us exactly this, as well as going into the finer details to help make our wedding feel bespoke and tailored – We thought the process of planning a destination wedding would prove difficult, due to us not being able to travel to the location prior to the actual wedding, but Charm really took it on board to have regular video conferences with us, where we felt we were right there with them, even to the point of them visiting the location and video documenting our joint vison of where things would go!.. We would say that Magical Moments had a 50% stake in the ideas presented for our wedding, which really separated them from others, since they have a wealth of knowledge on what’s feasible, and would look best.. overall, we could see how well executed everything went from how much us and our guests enjoyed the event, where all the stress of managing things was put on Charm’s shoulders!.. even Five years later, our friends and family are still talking about how magical our wedding was.

We want to give a BIG shoutout and Thank You to the stupendous team at Magical Moments! Thank You Charm & Chanuki for making our fairytale wedding a reality even amidst this pandemic. Magical Moments took care of everything, and I mean literally everything, from all the great recommendations to the elaborate detailing, and coordinating, to even making sure I was okay through the whole process. Everything was done so majestically with every little detail thought out to perfection that we still can’t stop talking about it! Thank You Magical Moments for making our wedding perfect!

“Charm, & her team did a wonderful job planning our wedding for such a short period of time. I am Indonesian and my husband is Russian, we never been to Srilanka before the wedding, and we had to arrange everything online.

We arrived a month before the wedding, and everything was arranged perfectly. Decoration was breathtaking, food was amazing. Charm listened to us carefully and made sure that the wedding stayed true to our wishes. One of the best teams I ever came across. They put all efforts to make your event memorable.

They treat you like family and take care of your every need. It was amazing working with them, very trustworthy people.

They even arranged a perfect 3 days tour around Colombo for my big Indonesian family. It was a very memorable experience for us and all the guests, very happy.

We highly recommend Magical Moments and would love to go back to visit Sri Lanka again!”

“Rich and I could not be happier with the way our wedding turned out. Being a destination wedding, we were anxious leaving pretty much EVERYTHING in the hands of Charm and her team. Oh my goodness… I’m so glad we did! We had nothing to worry about… everything was PERFECT! We could not have imagined a more beautiful or stylish wedding! The floral arrangements were first class as were the lighting.

We highly recommend Magical Moments. If you are planning a destination wedding and worried about not being there to choose decorations etc, my advice would be… just leave it in their hands, Charm’s got this!”

“Months of research went into finding a wedding planner to help make my dream wedding come true. Waiting 25 years to actually tie the knot , so happy to have chosen Magical Moments, from the very first email I sent to charm at Magical Moments, I knew I made the right decision. Charm’s eye for detail was perfect , she absolutely got my vision. Nothing was too much trouble, even days before our wedding day charm went and sourced some more favors for our big day which all our guests still rave about today. Thanks to the team Magical Moments, myself and husband and children had the best day of our lives. Highly recommended !”

“Finding the right words to truly express the outstanding service provided planning our wedding has been very difficult.

Charm, we never expected to have so much fun at our own wedding. You and your amazing team (special shout-out to Chanuki) brought to life every small idea and request we had and executed it beautifully. You all were such a joy to work with and completely took the stress off us.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us the most beautiful day!”

“As an Italian – Australian couple that live in Australia and had never been to Sri Lanka, there was obviously a sense of apprehension about how things would turn out with the many unknowns. We need not have worried at all!! From the moment we engaged Charm, Chanuki & team nearly a year out from our wedding day we were totally at ease. Their expertise through suggestions, knowledge and advice were perfect. Even with the unforeseen challenge of the tragic Easter bombings in Colombo a few months out, we had absolute faith, certainty and belief that the day would be as special as we hoped. The result was a day that exceeded all expectations, from the incredibly beautiful villa and beach side setting, the lighting, the amazing photographer, the fire-dancers to the simple finishing touches … and then the fireworks!! We could not have been happier. I could not recommend Sri Lanka and MM more highly for a destination wedding, and I’m sure the many people we have spoken to will strongly consider our recommendation to have their wedding in Sri Lanka. Such a beautiful country with beautiful people that also exceeded our expectations. Thanks so much. We are eternally grateful”

“We wanted to say a big thank you to Charm and her team for all they did to make our wedding day amazing. Our guests commented about how relaxed we were on the day – and it’s because our wedding planners took care of everything! We had an awesome day and night and none of it could have been possible without all their input, ideas, patience, understanding and hard work. It was exactly how we had hoped it would be and much more. We are still talking about it and so are our guests – they say it was the best wedding they have been to. Thank you so much!”

“In 2017, we have decided to get married in Sri Lanka. What an extravagant idea ! It made sense for us , as My dad is from Sri Lanka and my god parents were still there. We both love this country, and it was the perfect excuse to let our friends and family to come and discover the island.

Moreover, It always been a dream for me to get married during the sunset beach. We knew that it won’t be easy to manage it from Paris by ourselves, so we have decided to hire a wedding planner and found Magical Moments to help us plan our destination wedding.

From our first meeting, I felt relieved. Charm is a good listener and understood our wishes. She’s got wonderful ideas; it was easy to work with them.

Without them we would never get the wedding of our lives that We are so proud today.

We got so many compliments thanks to your work.

It was not always easy to manage at the same time the budget and our wishes, but the result was there.

At the end, we had a beautiful and unique setting for our wedding. We highly recommend their work and thank you again for your great job.”

“It is a big leap of faith asking a total stranger to plan your wedding, the most magical day of your life! Honestly I can say that within the first few conversations with Charm, all my fears were gone. I had a very specific vision and look I was trying to achieve and Charm completely understood it and came up with some amazing decor ideas that I would never have thought of. We were in constant contact with Charm and asked a million questions but they ALWAYS replied straight away and kept us involved in the whole process.

I would have no doubt in recommending Magical Moments to anyone for any event. It was such an enjoyable experience and we miss being in contact with Charm & team because they are such talented, professional and kind people.

It was the most beautiful wedding and our guests were completely blown away with the beauty of the whole event.

Thank you Charm & Team. We look forward to planning an anniversary party with you soon!!!”

“We wanted to write you a thank you email to express our gratitude for the major role Magical Moments played in creating one of the most magical days of our lives. Our wedding, on 20 April, was so wonderful. We have some amazing memories from the day, and many of our friends and family expressed love and appreciation for the day and all the details that went into it. I know how hard you and your teams work to make sure all the details are cared for and that it is minimally stressful for couples, especially those who live afar. You are all so wonderfully talented.”
