Hi Lovebirds,

Planning a destination wedding in Cape Town, South Africa, can be incredibly exciting, but also a tad daunting if you're miles away. But fear not! As your local wedding planning fairy godmother, I'm here to spill some top-secret tips to ensure your Cape Town wedding is as magical (and stress-free) as it deserves to be.

​Book a call with us now and let's get chatting about your big day!

Here's a peek inside the mind of your wedding planner:

1. Hire a wedding planner: This might seem obvious, but trust me, it's a game-changer. We're your boots-on-the-ground experts, navigating legalities, sourcing reputable vendors, and ensuring everything runs smoothly on the big day. A venue manager (also known as a venue coordinator), while helpful, focuses on the venue itself, not the intricate details of your entire wedding experience.
2. Focus on value, not just cost: Let's be honest, destination weddings can come with a price tag. But remember, experienced vendors understand the nuances of Cape Town weddings and deliver exceptional quality. The cheapest option might not always translate to the best outcome for your dream day.
3. We recommend the best: From photographers who capture the breathtaking scenery to caterers who tantalize your guests' taste buds, we have a trusted network of suppliers who specialize in creating unforgettable Cape Town weddings. Don't risk going with just anyone – we understand the intricacies of this industry. You can view our Wedding Guide with our listed recommended suppliers for those planning their own wedding.
4. Embrace our expertise: We might suggest tweaks to your vision or present options you hadn't considered. Trust us, it's because we have a wealth of experience and want to ensure your wedding is everything you ever dreamed of. Read more about the wedding planning process here. ​
5. Animals are a NO-go zone: Cape Town boasts incredible wildlife, but incorporating them into your wedding ceremony (think releasing doves or butterflies or even fire and balloons) is strictly prohibited and can be disruptive to the animals. We can suggest plenty of other creative ways to incorporate the natural beauty of Cape Town into your celebration.

Ready to plan your dream Cape Town wedding with confidence? Let's chat! We offer a free consultation to discuss your vision and how we can make your South African love story come to life.

With sunshine, romance, and a stress-free Cape Town wedding,

P.S. Planning a destination wedding involves delegating certain tasks. Focus on the fun stuff like choosing your menu and honeymoon destination, and leave the logistics (including navigating animal regulations) to the pros!
