    Providing the elderly with training and job opportunities as wedding planners

     

     

    Silver Bliss is a social enterprise providing wedding consultation and planning services for engaged couples. What sets it apart from other wedding planners is its team of elderly employees. The venture hopes that its elderly employees can unleash their full potential by utilising their experiences and professions at work when performing the role of wedding planners.

    The venture provides training for the elderly through interest classes that cover the knowledge and skills needed for wedding planning. It is expected that the trained elderly are able to assist in planning and implementing a wedding programme. The venture not only provides employment opportunities for the elderly, but also aims to enable them to integrate their expertise and new skills through training, connect with society, and live a fruitful and happy life in their later years.
