Welcome!
My name is Valentina Pokrovskaya – I am a wedding planner, the owner of ‘Wedding Alchemy® by Valentina’, the originator of the wedding alchemy philosophy and a Member of Polish Association of Wedding Planners.
I would never imagine, that I will be organising weddings. But life can surprise you – today I am a wedding planner and I bring my Coules’ dreams to life.
It all started in 2013 when I was working for Thomson Reuters helping financial markets professionals to retrieve and analyse data from their systems. I loved my job and I was good in it. One thing was missing – lack of true and deep relationship between me and my clients, feeling, that I bring something really important into their lives.
And then it was this ad about the wedding planner course. When I was packing my case for a 3 days workshop in Warsaw, I never knew I was going to come back with the decision to create my own brand and turn my life and life of my family upside down. From financial markets to wedding planning? Exactly! I am using the best experience gained when working with demanding clients – this is all about transparency and relationships with my Couples. I use an advanced wedding planning online system, which gives my couples 24/7 access to all information: checklist, wedding timetable, budget and payment calendar, guest list, seating plan and much more. This helps them to control and better understand the whole planning process. Working with professionals from financial markets I had to resolve complex queries under tight deadlines. Effective communication with different departments was really essential. When planning and coordinating a wedding I need to build a team from a group of independent vendors and set a common goal, which is an extraordinary event and failure is not an option. We act under pressure of time, stress and huge emotions – just like on Wall Street!
