CAROLYN CHEN, PRINCIPAL / EVENTS SPECIALIST
Carolyn's passion for celebrations led her to transition from an established management career with a Global Fortune 500 corporation and launch The Special Day, a full service event planning and design company. Since 2001, Carolyn has been recognized for her planning and event management expertise, conceiving inimitable design concepts, and placing priority on providing clients with the most personalized experience. Carolyn's events are showcased internationally and repeatedly featured in leading weddings & events publications.
Her Bachelors degree in Business Marketing, in conjunction with previous professional successes, translate into efficient methods and effective practices, from organizing the full service needs of a destination wedding to managing the complete design production of a premiere social party for high profile entertainers and performers. Carolyn is masterful in using the conventional hotel ballroom, or empty urban loft as her blank canvas and transforming it to be inspiring and energizing. With extensive exposure to different cultures and having traveled to destination locations in every continent except Antarctica, clients appreciate her far reaching resources and her application of immediate solutions in response to any situation.
Demonstrating fearlessness through an episode of skydiving, canyoning in Switzerland, and enjoying the occasional ostrich ride in South Africa, Carolyn's events are approached consistently with the same level of confidence and enthusiasm. Trusted by her discriminating clientele, Carolyn values the relations she develops and bringing "life" to their celebrations, ensuring the honoree and guests are "leaving with memories that last a lifetime." |
