Lelian Chew left Goldman Sachs to co-found The Atelier & Co, a luxury wedding planning firm based in Singapore catering to ultra-wealthy Asian families.
Chew’s success can be attributed to her belief that anything is possible with time and resources.
Understanding each couple's love story is fundamental in ensuring that each wedding is distinctive and unique.
The company ensures that everyone has a voice and takes the needs of the family members into consideration before executing the wedding plans.
Preserving unique traditions is essential for older generations, who want to pass down customs and cultures to the younger generation.
The goal is to strike a balance and create an intimate and personal celebration rather than an ostentatious event.
Chew's success began when a former Goldman Sachs client mistook her break for wedding planning and requested she plan his son's wedding.
Since the 2013 inception of The Atelier & Co, Chew has created weddings in remote and challenging destinations, including the Maldives.
Chew's business covers every aspect of the wedding ceremony, including decor, entertainment, and logistics.
Many of The Atelier & Co's clients are repeat customers requiring parties at different locations to meet the needs of all family members.
