How do you make your special celebration authentically yours, while negotiating a labyrinth of wedding suppliers, duck out of ideas from well meaning friends and family, and still keep to a budget? This is where I come in. Allow me, Lesley of Wellspring Wedding Planners to make your dream come true. You will receive my personal attention to every detail.

Leading up to your wedding:
I work discreetly and calmly behind the scenes, taking pride in quality service. I bring on board only service providers to suit your style and budget, and those who attain my high standards. I coordinate all wedding service providers, like photographers, florists and caterers on your behalf. You only deal with one person throughout. The venues I recommend are selected for their intimacy and scenic location, ensuring a treasury of lasting photographic and video memories.

On-the-day services include:
• Advice on the entire process or on specific issues
• Inspiration with little touches you may not have thought of.
• Help with wedding etiquette and hosting your special day, including helping guests.
• Sensitive and discreet support during the preparation and behind the scenes on the day. Not a clip board in sight, your guests will think I am your aunt.
• Advice and planning on how to avoid stress.

I have planned many weddings for South Africans and local weddings for couples based overseas. So if you are coming home for your wedding or just visiting South Africa for the adventure wedding of a lifetime, I can help. The use of the internet is extremely effective and having a person like me on the ground locally is very helpful.
