About The Wedding Collective
Artistry is at the heart of every celebration. 
The Wedding Collective is the natural evolution of The Aisle Academy—a refined sanctuary for Malaysia’s wedding visionaries. What began in 2020 as a dedicated space for learning has blossomed into a vibrant, community-led movement for the creatives behind the world’s most beautiful weddings.
Our Story: From The Aisle Academy to The Wedding Collective
Co-founded by Juvien and Laverne (Eventistry) and Will and Cheryl (Wishhper), we started with a simple mission: to bridge the gap between passion and professional expertise. Having stood side-by-side on countless wedding days, our founders recognized that truly elevating the industry requires more than just training—it requires a unified ecosystem where every creative has a voice.
Today, we have expanded our horizons beyond wedding planning to embrace the entire creative community. We are a home for photographers, videographers, stylists, florists, and artisans who believe in community over competition.
Community • Platform • Education
A space for visionaries to connect & grow
Our Vision: Connect. Create. Elevate.
We believe the future of weddings is shaped by shared inspiration and collective growth. Our mission is to provide a platform that nurtures both the craft and the creator through four core pillars:
Community-Led Movement: A curated space to foster genuine connections and industry-wide collaboration.
Networking Events: Meaningful gatherings that turn industry peers into lifelong partners.
Curated Workshops: Practical, relevant education that refines the artistry of all wedding professionals.
Wellness Retreats: Restorative experiences (like TWCR) designed to inspire and recharge the souls of our creators.
What Makes Us Different?
We are still creators. Our founders remain active leaders in the industry, planning and executing weddings day-to-day. This “boots-on-the-ground” experience ensures that everything we do—from our workshops to our retreats—is rooted in real-world relevance.
We don’t just teach the industry; we live it. Our syllabus is uniquely tailored to the rhythm of Malaysian traditions and is proudly recognized by the Association of Wedding Professionals (AWP) Malaysia.
Selected Courses and workshops offered by The Wedding Collective is endorsed and recognized by Association of Wedding Planners (AWP) Malaysia.

Juvien
I’m Juvien, co-founder and lead event planner of Eventistry. Weddings hold a special place in my heart as I truly believe in the power of love and creating unforgettable moments.
Though I haven’t been long in the industry, I have the privilege of assisting numerous couples in bringing their dream weddings to life. Along the way, I have also faced challenges but I’m really grateful that we have successfully navigated through difficult times, including the daunting COVID-19 pandemic.
Embarking on a business venture can be an intimidating prospect, particularly for young entrepreneurs entering the world of wedding planning. It’s natural to question whether we possess the necessary expertise and firsthand knowledge to plan our clients’ weddings flawlessly. However, what truly excites me about being a part of The Wedding Collective is the opportunity it provides to share my personal experiences and knowledge with fellow young entrepreneurs who share the same passion for weddings.
Also what sets me apart in this industry is my deep appreciation for our planet and the wonders it holds. As a diver and explorer of the underwater world, I have come to understand the significance of cherishing life’s precious moments and the beauty of nature.
Incorporating sustainability into weddings has become a genuine passion of mine, and I am wholeheartedly committed to curating extraordinary experiences that not only leave a lasting impression but also make a positive impact.
Let’s build a brighter future for the world of weddings, where sustainability, creativity, impeccable service and collaboration are at the forefront.
