Basically, I love weddings! I think coming from a wedding planner, that is a given. My wedding was actually supposed to happen on April 25th 2020, but we had to postpone it due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Andy & I decided that we didn’t want 2020 to be made up of only sad things, so we decided to get married in a private ceremony, just the 2 of us. We were married on September 19th 2020 under a beautiful oak tree in Franschhoek. Our big celebration was on April 17th 2021, I feel so lucky I got to marry the love of my life twice, AND I got to wear another wedding dress. (Above are photos of my two beautiful dresses)
I always wanted my wedding day to be perfect, just as much as you do. I have loved weddings all my life, they are just so romantic and as clichéd as it may sound, it is the first day of the rest of your life, and what a day it will be!
I am a 38 year old born and bred Capetonian. I started out in the wedding industry as a Professional Wedding Photographer in 2008. With each wedding that I photographed, I realised how much I loved being a part of my bride and groom’s special day, (I also realised how many brides were in way over their heads and completely stressed out) and slowly but surely, I made my move into becoming a Professional Wedding Planner here in Cape Town.
I have been the proud owner of The Mosaic Wedding Company since 2011 and have planned many, many weddings since opening. Pop over to my compliments page to check out some of the happy clients that I have worked with.
I have launched another company with 3 friends, The Hire Haus, it is a beautiful company filled with beautiful hiring items for your wedding or event. I love merging The Mosaic Wedding Company and The Hire Haus when planning a wedding.
If you decide to choose me to plan your wedding, please be assured that the utmost love and affection will go into every thought and moment spent planning YOUR Legendary Day.
