CANDICE CHAN AND ALISON SLIGHT
Founders of CANDICE&ALISON Inc.
Candice, a prominent woman in the fashion and art industries for over 8 years, known
for her ability to execute ‘chic’ and Alison; who’s expertise in planning and managing
for a luxury event corporation have rapidly become a power-house in the event planning world for almost 4 years. Shortly after taking their friendship to a partnership level,
CANDICE&ALISON Inc. was born. Well, the formula has certainly worked for the
successful duo. With hundreds of bottles of champagne popped and tonnes of exquisite
hors d’oeuvres served along the way, Candice and Alison have become the women to talk to
when it comes to planning an event. How does the duo remain calm and carry on between
work and their personal life? - We are lucky to be doing what we love so our careers are really
an extension of ourselves. We both enjoy hosting parties, entertaining family and friends, live
music, dining experiences and interior design. When you have your dream job, there isn’t too
much to balance.- says the duo
It is clear that Candice and Allison complement each other well but as they say, they also
inspire and support each other. - We still remember that empowering moment when we
realized it was time to become partners. Over a glass of wine, it was that day when we
decided that we were going to become successful hard working entrepreneurs, who had full
control over our own futures and fate. It was a scary move but we have never looked back
since. - says the duo.
Candice and Aliso n want to have the company that every young, aspiring, event planner
wants to work for. The duo believes in hard work, dedication and the power of inspiring
others.
Alison’s Beauty Tip - A perk with working with so many beauty brands and planning their
events is that we get to try all the product! The key to looking young is taking care of your
skin, that’s the foundation of beauty and looking young.
Candice’s “Must Have” Item- I can’t live without my Samsung Galaxy S3 phone. It’s my
entertainment, my assistant and it connects me to the world and the people that are close to
my life. What can’t I do on it?
