The Million Dollar Wedding Planner | BBC documentary

This documentary delves into a world of unimaginable wealth and luxury.

Lelian Chew is a wedding planner for the super-rich in Asia-Pacific, where there are currently more billionaires than in the United States or Europe.

Lelian accepts only ten weddings a year and charges an average of $ 1 million per event. Cartier jewelry, hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of flowers, and multiple designer dresses are nothing out of the ordinary for her clients.

For the BBC, Lelian opens the doors to a normally closed and extremely discreet world.
