Hi, I'm Richii!

As a child, I loved watching romantic comedies like ‘The Wedding Planner’ and ’Bride Wars’. I clung to the idea of a planner, as someone who would hold up two napkins and ask if you preferred blush or beige. When I became engaged, the thought of having a wedding planner filled me with excitement, expecting a delightful, collaborative experience. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen, but luckily, I was a former Lebanese pop star, an architect and a groom!

THE POPSTAR

As a teenager, I had the number one song in the Middle East and performed for tens of thousands of people, even taking to the Oscars stage in Hollywood! It was a dream come true, and I was very hands-on in the creative planning of my high-energy shows.

THE ARCHITECT

After that, I joined one of the world’s largest architecture firms, realising another dream as I watched the iconic skyscrapers we designed adorn the Melbourne skyline.

THE GROOM

When David finally proposed, I shared my mood board with several planners to gain a better understanding of the cost of a wedding like mine. I quickly learned that it would be an expensive affair! I was budget-conscious, but willing to invest in special elements that would make it truly unique. I selected the wedding planner I thought could deliver my budget and vision, but it wasn’t the case. Leveraging my skills in stage production and architectural visualisation, I took control and meticulously crafted the wedding of my dreams.

I became the wedding planner I wish I had but also thought, wouldn’t it be amazing to offer this to other creative visionaries like me— someone who appreciates a theme or concept, or even someone who just needs to see what they’re buying? When I told my friends and family that I was thinking of starting a wedding planning business, they screamed “Oh my gosh, that is so perfect and so you”. After becoming certified by the Wedding Academy Global, I established Davicii Weddings & Events. It’s like Drew Barrymore said she learned in ‘Ever After’: “We must rescue ourselves and yet still want the fairytale!”
