Your Questions Answered

Do you travel?

Yes, we’re based in Gauteng but love traveling for celebrations across cities and provinces. Travel and accommodation costs (if needed) will be included in your estimate and depend on the distance and time spent onsite.

Do you offer packages for weddings?

Every bride and event is unique. Instead of fixed packages, we design custom proposals tailored specifically to your vision and requirements.

Why can’t I get a quote immediately?

Creating a detailed proposal takes time. We often need to source decor and furniture from external suppliers and rely on their schedules for pricing. We also invest significant effort into creating a personalised design board for your event.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept EFT payments only. Cash deposits are discouraged due to high bank fees. You can choose to pay in full upfront or via monthly payments, but the balance must be settled one calendar month before your wedding date.

Why is the booking fee non-refundable?

The non-refundable booking fee secures your date on our calendar. It also covers the initial time and resources spent crafting your proposal. The fee is credited towards your final invoice.

Can I provide the flowers for my wedding?

We use trusted suppliers to ensure the highest quality flowers for your arrangements. Unfortunately, we do not work with client-supplied flowers, as we cannot guarantee their quality and condition.

Do you set up decor supplied by others or place name cards?

Our delivery and setup fee includes only the items quoted in our proposal. Additional setup services for client-supplied decor or name cards can be arranged for an extra fee.
