We recently connected with Christophe & Heather Willmus and have shared our conversation below.
Christophe & Heather, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. One of the things we most admire about small businesses is their ability to diverge from the corporate/industry standard. Is there something that you or your brand do that differs from the industry standard? We’d love to hear about it as well as any stories you might have that illustrate how or why this difference matters.
We are a husband & wife team and we work seamlessly to serve our clients better! First, we offer wedding planning services, where we can find the prefect venue, according to your budget and style. We can then recommend all your major vendors, and of course be there to coordinate your big day! It doesn’t stop here, we offer photography & videography services. Willmus Weddings, it’s almost going with a one-top shop but with the personalized experience!
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
Christophe has been a travel photographer for the past 15 years, he decided to expand his creativity toward bow ties and white dresses in 2015 with his wife Heather, who has been a wedding planner for many years. We can relate to our clients because we think as a husband and wife team and can face all the concerns and challenges engaged couple s can have. We’ve been in their shoes… not too long ago. We are very proud of the human brand we created, what we love the most is connecting to our couples on a personal level.
Can you tell us the story behind how you met your business partner?
We met on a bus in Myanmar while backpacking in 2012. It was an overnight bus, I thought she was a local so I started to talk in Burmese but she said she was American, so I said “Oh perfect I speak English too” The rest is history :)
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
During Covid, we both had to find another job to pay the bills!
