The 2nd Association of Bridal Consultants Annual Regional Conference (China & Hong Kong)
Hosted by the Association of Bridal Consultants (China & Hong Kong) cooperated with the Open University of Hong Kong, The 2nd annual Conference “Get High: Get Hired” had taken place on 12 September 2010 at Serena Yang Lecture Theatre of the Open University of Hong Kong (Ho Man Tin campus). We shared a good time and had wonderful moment.
We honourably invited ABC Director of Asian Market, Mr. Kevin Kohara to be our Guest of Honour , Co-organiser LiPACE OUHK, Deputy Director, Dr. Benjamin Chan and Guest speakers included Hong Kong’s Ten Outstanding Young Persons Awardee 2006, Mr. Sean Lin, Founder of Wedding Theme Song Co., Mr. Clayton Cheung, CEO of Darizi Limited, Mr. Andy Ann and Master of Health Science Sexual Health, Ms. Vanessa Chow. There were more than 100 candidates attended the event.
While tying the knot with loved one is often considered as arriving at the summit of a relationship, wedding in itself is one of the most important sublimations of a couple’s affection to each other into a lasting relationship.
On top of this, the implementation of Civil Celebrants of Marriage Scheme in 2006 has helped to breed all kinds of wedding related product and services, leading to unlimited possibilities as to how a wedding can be planned and conducted. In recent years, modern couples have become increasingly demanding when it comes to organizing their wedding ceremonies. From wedding photography and videography, wedding favors and many more…… products and/ or services once regarded as luxurious arrangement have become simply the basic necessity.
”We believe that, with our continued effort and commitment to make couples happy and climactic, professional standards in the wedding industry can be raised!” According ABC Country Director, China & Hong Kong, Ms. Katemagg Chau.
Because of these, wedding planners must reinforce the fundamental elements pertaining to a climactic experience before they are able to deliver a remarkable climactic moment at the wedding. From the prerequisite stimulating factors, intensification of climax, to the dealing of post-climactic syndrome, we extremely pleased and honored to invite the Highest and Hottest experts in the wedding industry related fields to share their practical techniques and skills that are essential to inducing climactic milestones in lives.
American Belly Dance Association dance performances demonstrated incredible dancing which is usually used in wedding ceremony. After, ABC Country Director, KateMagg, Guest of Honour, Mr. Kevin Kohara, our guest speaker, Mr. Joseph Mak and other 10 attendants were invited to join the dancing.

第二屆ABC國際婚禮統籌協會(中國及香港)研討會︰「高潮︰高峰」
由國際婚禮統籌協會(中國及香港)與香港公開大學合辦的第二屆ABC國際婚禮統籌協會(中國及香港)研討會「高潮︰高峰」已於2010年9月12日假香港公開大學何文田校舍楊雪姬演講廳圓滿舉行,氣氛熱鬧。
是次活動得以順利舉行有賴各界的支持及參與。出席是項活動的主禮嘉賓ABC國際婚禮統籌協會亞洲區總監小原義之先生, 香港公開大學院長呂汝漢教授及嘉賓講者包括:醫療科學(情性健康)碩士周潔心小姐、宇宙大爆炸音樂有限公司的始創人張佳添先生、2006年香港十大傑出青年林景昇先生及《大日子darizi》創辦人及行政總裁安宇昭先生。當天活動共超過一百位來賓出席參與。
高潮與人生的里程碑是不能分割的。與愛人共諧連理,行至人生的高峰,而婚禮更成為一對男女關係昇華的一個重要的時刻,有如「高潮」。
隨著婚姻監禮人條例於2006年實施,形形色色的婚禮工作應運而生,婚禮形式亦日趨創新。現在的新人對婚禮的要求愈來愈高。近年,除婚宴外,婚紗照、短片、贈予親友禮物的製作等都成了結婚不可劃缺的環節。
ABC總幹事Kate-Magg女士致辭時表示:「我們相信,只有堅守不斷帶給新人驚喜,婚禮行業才能走向高峰!」
婚禮統籌師必須掌握引至高潮的要素才能成功幫助新人打造一個完美難忘的浪漫婚禮,締造生命的「高潮」。我們感到非常榮幸能夠邀請多位行內炙手可熱婚禮專家,透過他們的分享及探討他們對「婚禮高潮」的意見及認識,使來賓更了解推動生命高潮的方法。
美國肚皮舞協會在會場上示範了婚宴中常用作婚慶的肚皮舞表演,舞技精湛。此後,本會總監Kate-Magg,嘉賓大日子營運總監,副出版人及主編麥超傑先生先生與主禮嘉賓小原義之先生,以及10多位來賓更被邀請到台上翩翩起舞,與在場來賓打成一片,隨即把整個會場的氣氛推至最高峰。
大會在當日頒發了獲評核持有國際水平的認可證書給予共38位會員,其中27位會員成為國際認可的助理婚禮策劃師(ABP),另外11位會員成為國際認可的專業婚禮顧問(PBC)。最後,主禮人及眾嘉賓一起上台拍攝大合照,為今屆研討會劃上圓滿的句號。

「高潮︰高峰」
有人說,人活著,是為了追求高潮;亦有人說,人因為追求高潮,才知道活著。高潮與人生的里程碑似乎是不可或割的。與愛人共諧連理就如行至人生的高峰,而婚禮往往是男女關係昇華的一個重要的高潮。如何協助新人在婚禮中創造高潮時刻從而打造一個完美難忘的浪漫回憶,絕對是婚禮統籌師需要面對的挑戰。
現在的新人對婚禮的要求愈來愈高。除婚宴外,近年拍婚照、短片、製作禮物贈親友等都成了結婚缺不可少的環節。隨著婚姻監禮人條例於2006年實施,形形色色的婚禮工作應運而生,婚禮形式亦日趨創新。婚禮統籌師必須重申高潮的基本要素才能成功助新人締造生命的「高潮」。
有見及此,Association of Bridal Consultants CHINA & HK(ABC)將2010年度第二屆ABC國際婚禮統籌師中國香港區研討會的主題定為「高潮︰高峰」。我們相信,只有堅守不斷帶給新人驚喜,婚禮行業才能走向高峰!作為擁有超過50年歷史的專業婚禮協會,全球多達4,000名會員,ABC致力推行這個理念。因此,ABC非常榮幸能夠邀請多位行內炙手可熱婚禮專家,分享他們對「婚禮高潮」的意見及認識。

2010 2nd ABC Annual Regional Conference- China & Hong Kong
“Get High: Get Hired”
Some people say we live to pursue climax; others say it is the pursuit of climax that makes us realize we are living. Either way, the pursuit of climax and life’s milestones appear to be indivisible. While tying the knot with loved one is often considered as arriving at the summit of a relationship, wedding in itself is one of the most important sublimations of a couple’s affection to each other into a lasting relationship. Consequently, the ability to induce a stage of climax in wedding and thereby orchestrate an once in a life time memory that the couple can recall upon for years to come is a challenge which wedding planners need to face and conquer. In recent years, modern couples have become increasingly demanding when it comes to organizing their weddings. From wedding photography and videography, wedding favors and many more…… products and/ or services once regarded as luxurious have become simply the basic necessity. On top of this, the implementation of Civil Celebrants of Marriage Scheme in 2006 has helped to breed all kinds of wedding related product and services, leading to unlimited possibilities as to how a wedding can be planned and conducted. Because of these, wedding planners must reinforce the fundamental elements pertaining to a climactic experience before they are able to deliver a remarkable climactic moment at the wedding. In view of
this, the 2nd Association of Bridal Consultants Annual Regional Conference (China & Hong Kong) will focus on the concept of “Get High: Get Hired”. We believe it is only through continued effort and commitment to make couples happy and climactic that professional standards in the wedding industry can be raised! Being the oldest and largest training organization for wedding professionals in the world, ABC currently have over 4,000 members located in all 50 states and in 27 countries. Since 1955, our goals have been to raise professional standards in the wedding industry. We extremely pleased and honored to invite the Highest and Hottest experts in the wedding industry related fields to share their notions and knowledge in "wedding climax". From the prerequisite stimulating factors, intensification of climax, to the dealing of post-climactic syndrome, our guest speakers will one-by-one share the practical techniques and skills that are essential to inducing climactic milestones in lives. In addition, wedding music demonstration and dance performances arranged. Special Speakers included: Dr. Benjamin Chan, Ms. Vanessa Chow, Mr. Clayton Cheung, Mr. Sean Lin, Mr. Andy Ann.
Katemagg Chau- Association of Bridal Consultants, China & HK Country Director cordially invited you to join this special event.
