The first step to interpreting these special wishes is to set up a clear line of communication. We find the most convenient way of doing so is via e-mail or Skype if you are not able to meet for a cup of coffee for a thorough consultation. Firstly as independent Wedding Planners our clients benefit from personal planning with the coordinator where each wedding is individual and tailored to the couples dream day and whether the ceremony is for the couple alone or for a large wedding of 100+ we give all our clients the same personal service. From the first contact through to our co ordination on the day, you are our main priority in getting everything right and taking the stress away from what can be a complicated process of organizing a wedding abroad. Our experience and contacts in the industry allow us to pass back to our clients the preferential supplier rates that we negotiate on your behalf and our knowledge of South Africa allows us to offer the very best locations and venues.
