Tamer Saudi, Director of Catering at Four Seasons Hotel Amman, has been planning weddings for more than six years and has a reputation for laying out seamless events even at the very last minute.

Oliver Jean-Marin has 13 years of experience in the wedding planning industry, including three years at Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita. Oliver knows the island inside out and holds the secrets to all the hidden locations.

Oliver’s tip: “Remember, by Mauritian law, you need to start the process 6 weeks in advance. I planned a wedding in two weeks, but I’d prefer not to do it again – it was too stressful!”
