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.

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。
