Emma was a great asset for our big day!
Emma was a great asset for our big day! She made the day run smoothly and made us feel really special all day. Nothing was too big for her to deal with and even when we had a weather issue Emma had plan A, B and C to make sure everything ran smoothly. She kept us updated even though we were in another country for most of the planning stage, and helped us with finding suppliers in the area that would be reliable.
Thank you so much Emma for creating our prefect wedding and for making sure everything ran smoothly.
You are a star!

Thank you so much for making our day so perfect
The standard of service delivered by Emma was of very high quality - she made the process leading up to our wedding day so stress free and the result of our requests for the day were met far beyond our expectation. We were so happy with the decor and set up, how she was able to use ALL the elements we wanted and make it work so perfectly! Emma thank you so much for making our day so perfect, our guests cannot stop talking about the decor, food and beautiful venue either.

Destination wedding of our dreams
My fiancée and I currently are Cape-Town-bound sitting in Incheon Airport. Can’t wait to have the destination wedding of our dreams. Mrs. Emma-Jane Aldridge is a 5-Star wedding planner! She made planning a challenging cross-cultural wedding an absolute breeze to prepare, and we have full confidence in our event because we have Emma.

Your eye for detail with everything was amazing
Emma, you were fantastic. I cannot thank you enough. You answered emails punctually, were so patient when answering and dealing with all my questions and changes of ideas, you gave me so much advice! The actual running of the day was fantastic. I didn’t pick up any issues on the day, if there were any you dealt with them seamlessly. Your eye for detail with everything was amazing. Especially with the decor! Amazing!
Thank you so much for taking my idea and wants and making them such an amazing reality!

Everyone thought it was an amazing wedding!
Thanks Emma for really taking all the stress of our minds. It left us with just a handful of non-critcal things that didn't require keeping track of all the vendors, times, coordination etc. We ended up with a entirely stress-free week and honeymoon. Everyone thought it was an amazing wedding!

The wedding was classy and elegant
Since we stay in Gauteng, Emma was very helpful with planning the wedding. Everything worked out perfectly and we had a great time. It’s very easy to have a destination wedding if you work with someone so sufficient. The decor and flowers were breath-taking and the wedding was classy and elegant. People cannot stop talking about the day and the decor. I cannot thank you enough! Everything was beautiful.

What is your most memorable wedding?
A destination wedding that truly took the cake, the couple resided in South Korea and the majority of their accompanying friends and family had never visited the wedding location before: the glorious city of Cape Town, South Africa.
The three day party was energetic and fun from start to finish. We began with a welcome dinner hosted in a nearby restaurant, think cosy in candlelight, to thank the guests who had travelled to be there. The following day had guests piling onto a Cape Town version of our London tour buses, we took a winding scenic route through the mountains and along the coastline to Groot Constantia, a local wine estate. The wedding party was treated to a private tour followed by an extensive wine and chocolate tasting, the grounds were spectacular - we could've hosted the wedding there! Looping back around the coastline, guests returned to the rehearsal dinner, an evening cocktail reception on the hotel's stunning pool deck, with views of the world-renowned Table Mountain.
And the grand finale, the big day, the "I do" moment was held at a coastal wedding venue with panoramic views of the ocean, we were blessed with exquisite weather and the most romantic sunset. All in all, this wedding and the amazing couple it was planned for was the essence of what celebration and love should be.
