To the wonderful Aleit Team,
 
I am still floating on cloud 9!!!!!
 
I am writing this letter just to thank you all for your hardwork and effort put into creating our "dream come true".  The memories that you have left me with are much more then I could ever put into a note.  Your attention to detail and the finer things that I would never have thought of definately did not go unnoticed. Everything was nothing short of amazing and for that I cannot thank you enough.  Simoné was an absolute delight and a treat to have on board with us throughout the whole journey. 
 
I dont believe that Thank You's should be done on email so keep checking your post box!

The endless options of creative ideas and solutions you brought forward are amazing! Johnny, it seemed like you understood our thoughts and visions and knew just how to implement them and make them better and more original.

I don't know how we will ever be able to thank you properly, you made our day truly spectacular.

Dear Aleit and Johnny
 
We are back in Melbourne after the most fantastic honeymoon ever!  We can proudly say we conquered Kili!  Yeah!
 
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the most amazing wedding we could ever have hoped for.  We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.  It was just unbelievable.  Johnny thank you for all your patience (especially looking for suits...), organising, assistance and help!  We have received a huge amount of compliments, from the food through to Thinus' song/speech.  Although the latter may just be polite banter.  Most of the compliments included 'stylvolste' , 'smartste' , 'beste gees' , 'beste gereelde'.
 
Kind regards

Dear Aleit, Johnny and the entire Aleit team.
 
Thank you for such a stunning wedding, the phones can't stop ringing with compliments… you really made it all happen.  Even with the rain we still enjoyed it and all the guest were blown away about how things went.  I just loved the food!  I panicked that it was going to be chaos and difficult to manage the crowd during dinner, but the process went so smoothly and we were able to greet almost all the guests as they were passing to get their food. 
 
Thank you so so much, there are no words to describe how thankful we are. You have left a mark and so much value no money can buy.

Dear Johnny, Aleit and all your team
 
We just wanted to say a BIG thank you to all of you for an amazing day you helped us plan.  Wow, where should I start....
 
The ceremony area looked fantastic and we were so happy with the service Reverend Kevin delivered. After only meeting him twice, he gave us just what we were after - relaxed and informal but still meaningful and lawful.The songs were perfect and we were happy with our choice.  Walking down to the reception area (guests loved the slip-slops) through the vineyard blew everyone's minds, never mind  the champagne fill-up stations but to top it off... having their feet washed and shoes shined along with the amazing service your staff delivered.  The whole reception area, inside and out, was spectacular.  From the champagne bar to the lamp shades, table decorations, menus printed out on the pillars, name places (all the ladies loved their wine glasses) to the flower arrangements, lighting and the dance floor.  The one thing guests were confused about and we have had a few questions over was "The Sound of Music" playing on the wall. (Ha ha ha).
 
Onto the food.  All I can say is outstanding!!!  We have had so many compliments on all the food throughout the evening; even the midnight snacks were superb.  Matt thinks it is the best steak he has ever had.  And we still love the cake idea.  Moving on in the evening, the band... what a winner!!!!  Don't think I have ever seen a dance floor constantly busy like that.  We have seen some really funny photos of people dancing and having a ball.  And oh yes, don't let me forget Luciano and Mark.  I was thrilled with my hair and make-up and the video that Mark did was superb.  All in all, what a day!!!
 
As you can tell, we had an amazing day with hundreds of good memories and we could not have done it without your help.  We cannot fault a thing but can say well done and thank you so much.  Johnny, you were probably so sick of all our constant emails back and forth but you were very patient and understanding.  Thanks for everything you did.  Aleit, thank you and you can be proud of your team.  They are very professional and hard working.  We have had so many compliments from the day from our guests and it is all thanks to you and your team.
 
We passed on your details to a friend for his wife's 40th birthday and we will most definitely recommend your company in the future.
 
Married life is fun and fantastic and we are just enjoying!
 
Lots of love from London

Dear Aleit and Fanie

Hope you are well and not too busy.

I started work last week again and I was just so busy that I only have a chance today to express our appreciation.

We would like to say thank you very much to the entire team of The Aleit Group for giving up their time in planning our BEAUTIFUL wedding. You guys have done an AWESOME job... there are no words to describe how brilliant you were.

If I am going to mention what we all liked that day, then I am going to type until this evening! We have people still speaking about our wedding and that is so awesome!

Most of our guests wished they could have a re-play of our wedding, even Nino and myself said so on the Sunday! The food, setup, after party (should I go on) was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS. We are really going to miss you...

Once again thanks a million for EVERYTHING you have done - have a super year ahead.

Love

Dearest Aleit and Chanel,

You are incredibly special human beings and I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You took our dreams and turned them into the best day of our life.  I would never have been able to enjoy myself the way I did and have so much fun if I didn't know that our special day was in the perfect hands.  Quintin was equally grateful for the perfect hand-over and allowing me to completely let go!  Living in Dubai made this decision even easier however even if I lived at the venue I would still want you to be involved.  Your attention to detail is just phenomenal, your friendly natures made it even more of a pleasure and I feel I have gained special people in my life. I would trust you with my life!

THEY ROCK!

We don't know how we will ever be able to thank you properly, but we'll try… thank you, really truly, thank you!

Dear Aleit, Johnny and wonderful team

How could I ever thank you, I had a very specific idea in my head as to the details of the Balinese theme for the wedding and Johnny managed to execute my dream flawlessly!  We wanted everything during the night to be different and not traditional and Aleit and his team came up with the best ideas to make the night so unique and special. It was amazing knowing we had such professional experts organizing our wedding – it was so stress-free being in such good hands.

It truly was a night we will treasure forever, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Hello Aleit

I’ve been meaning to send The Aleit Group an email to say thank you so very much for being such a crucial part of our wedding!! You made sure that our very special day was planned down to the finest detail and that everything ran perfectly smoothly on the day!

I must say, initially I wasn’t very positive about using a wedding coordinator, thinking I could do it on my own (being a good organiser myself), but man oh man how wrong was I! I thanked my parents over and over before the wedding for insisting we use “Aleit”!

It was such an honour and privilege to be able to work side by side with you, planning all the festivities. Your eye for detail, super tasteful style and never-ending source of information impressed me immensely!!!!!!!

Aleit – Johnny is super phenomenal in his work, he definitely has a passion for what he does and is a huge asset to The Aleit Group! (So I hope you pay him very well, because he is worth every cent!) J

I am so happy with my photos – Lizelle Lotter did an amazing job! She makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed on the day; she is wonderful!

I wish you only success for the future, because you definitely deserve all the blessings that come your way. I know how hard you must have worked to get to where you are!!!!!!!

PS. Let anyone that is in doubt as to whether they should use your services contact me – I will convince them very quickly!

Dear Aleit

My mom and I are extremely close and she has exquisite taste. However, she lives in Canada and I planned the wedding on different trips to South Africa.  Hayley, you became a surrogate for me.  You were honest and caring, but best of all you put my mom at ease.  Your attention to detail was immaculate and the care with which you treated our wedding made me feel like the only bride in the world.  When I did not want to have my wedding at a wine estate, you helped us search high and low for the perfect venue for our ceremony - which ended up being a parking lot overlooking Camps Bay that we rented from the Cape Town city council!  And as for the reception, even the South Africans said they had the best fish of their lives.Thank you so much team, it was a fantastic day.

Dear Faye and Aleit

Well, our wedding day felt completely magical. The weather was perfect, and we were just so happy!

Having had the extraordinary experience of planning our wedding from 8000 miles away, you would think that we’d be nervous, but we knew from the beginning that we were in great hands with you and your team. It is no exaggeration to say that the event would not have happened without you, and the calming influence and superior organization of the marvellous Faye. You and your team made our wedding spectacular, and it is will be the standard against which we (and many of our guests) will measure all future parties! Thank you again for the most amazing wedding EVER!

With all our love,

It was a fantastic day and everything happened so fast that we are looking forward to seeing the video and reliving the whole day all over again! J We have already received countless compliments about the wedding – thanks so much!

Dear Jaco and Aleit

The reason that our whole day was so special is because you guys are so amazing! I could write a book on how wow you made our day.
Every single thing was thought of and every mishap dealt with without our knowledge. Our guests felt like royalty and have all commented on the amazing service and the little extra's and how they felt so spoilt. That's all down to you! Then the cherry on the top for me were blankets and heaters arriving out of nowhere when the weather got a bit chilly...we were all blown away! I think my overall experience of having you guys plan my wedding is that you made me feel like this really was the most important day for you too (and that you weren’t doing your millionth wedding!). You made me feel like I was the only Bride on earth and deserved only the best!

Thanks beyond words,
Marianne

Dear Aleit and Team

We were so delighted with how you made our day so wonderful.  What makes you stand out is you flair and ability to make a wedding live up to the high expectations which a bride and groom build up to after months of preparation. You have to work really hard together (especially if you're like us who like to understand and agree to all of the detail), but it's worth it - especially on the day itself.  The fact that our wedding went so brilliant is testament to you guys being amongst the best in the business.

You truly lived up to all our expectations and we would like to thank you, really thank you for everything.

Aleit, Faye and the rest of their team,

From the beginning you were magnificent!!  I really don't know how we will ever be able to thank you.
We planned the wedding alm

ost entirely over emails and the phone. The fact that you understood our needs, respected our budget and supported our vision for the day made working with you an absolute pleasure.  Aleit you have a brilliant mind with a great sense of humour which will make anyone at ease and - in my case - strongly consider renewing our vows in a year's time!!  You have an amazing team of very professional, hard-working people yet still managed to make time to get to know me... even though there's no reason to keep in touch after the wedding!  With Aleit being the mastermind of creative delegating, Faye, you were our rock!  You have a real gift for making things happen and have a special place in our newlywed hearts ;-)  

With regards to what the Aleit group calls their "friends" - all the service providers that completes this package of perfection truly lives up to their "friends" title... how do people manage to make it seem like the first time they're doing hair and make-up, taking pictures, making a video, cooking food, serving drinks, decorating, leading a ceremony, making music or baking a cake... just for you?  I guess it's because Aleit you saw something, recognized a true passion and made life-long friends as well as excellent in business partners... once again thank you, thank you for making our day incredibly special.

The great thing about our wedding was that really everything was perfect and we could enjoy every second of it without worrying about anything! It was designed, orchestrated and managed PERFECTLY during the entire day and night. Whether it was the advice from you regarding the flow of the program, the chandeliers on the tables or the entertainment, everything was top class and in the right balance. Thank you so much for making it the day we had both always dreamed of!

Hi Aleit,

I can’t believe its all over already... Settling into married life now and already back to work.
I just wanted to thank you again for everything you an your amazing team did for us, it really was such a magical day.
Also, just to mention again that Johnny is a real gem, you could not have paired me with a better coordinator. Nothing was too much for him and he never complained about anything, he is the most efficient person I know – and he really got everything right down to the tee.

He exceeded my dreams of my perfect wedding and I hope you know how special he is.
Fey was also lovely at the wedding by the way – first time I met her and she was an absolute star.

Everything ran so smoothly, and we have had nothing but compliments about the wedding – I hope you guys get a lot of work out of this, everyone was raving about your team.
Anyway, just wanted to check in and thank you again. I have nothing but great things to say about the Aleit Group and I wish you only success in the future.

All our love and thanks

Obviously you are in the right business! We also loved the fact that you did not push us to do anything and understood that we were very busy with work. That kind of respect for your clients is what gets you to where you are. Thank you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! What a wonderful wedding you gave us!

We enjoyed every minute of it, from the confetti at the church, to the photos at The Vineyard. The room looked amazing, the tables, flowers and layout was superb. Everything exceeded our expectations! We did notice your total involvement and appreciate all the effort you put into making Saturday a fairytale wedding.

The organization was unbelievable and we couldn’t have wished for anything better. We have had innumerable complements; you can feel very proud. The slick care and attention to detail and presentation, both on the lawn and inside, complemented our breathtaking venue.

Thanks guys, your both being such gracious hosts turned it into a wonderful affair.

With The Aleit Group you get the wedding you dreamed off, full stop. With plenty of heart, laughter, warmth and love along the way. I wasn't quite Bridezilla, but we knew exactly what we wanted and what we didn't, and Aleit and Faye, you executed our vision perfectly. Our pictures are breath-taking, and it is a testament to the work you do when every single guest that came to our wedding said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. I truly had no stress on the day, we glided round with our heads in the clouds, partied till 3am in the morning, and went to bed happy and content in the knowledge that every single detail was taken care of and in such an amazing way. Bravo Faye and Aleit... bravo... and forever thank you.

We just wanted to send you a note to say thank you so much for Wednesday! It was so much better than we could have ever imagined, it really was perfect and a dream come true!

All our guests were blown away (as were we) and all reported that it is the best wedding they have ever been to by a long long way and they all had a great fun (as did we)! One guest said to me " you know when you are a little girl and you think of how your fairytale wedding day will be when you grow up and meet the perfect man (and every girl does even if she says she doesn't)...well this definitely would be it!"

We couldn't have imagined doing the wedding without you guys.

Please pass on our thanks to all the service providers. The flowers were amazing, the decor absolutely stunning, the food delicious, the music bang on. We must also thank Mark for the service. He said some really thought provoking stuff. Many of our guests commented on what a cool vicar he was and they loved the readings that he made (so they actually listened :-) )

We have just arrived in Bangkok for our honeymoon adventure but should be able to check our emails etc some places a long the way, as I imagine we will need to keep in touch to wrap up final costs etc with you (pressing etc).

We really can't wait to see Jean Pierre's photos.

Thanks again for creating the best day our both of our lives! We will never forget it. If you ever need a testimonial for anything you can count us in!

Speak soon.

Thanks again

Hi Hayley

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you, Aleit and all the team for a fantastic wedding day. Simon and I could not fault the day at all. We are both still receiving texts and emails from everyone that attended saying how celebrity like it was!! It was an absolute pleasure to have worked with you as you made everything so perfect and you took away any stress or anxiety I had beforehand. Aleit should be very proud to have you on his team. You are an asset to the company.

I hear you were in hospital the night before the wedding. I hope you weren't feeling too rotten on the day. You should have said.... and left earlier! Hope you're OK now?

Anyway, thanks so much again and hope you have a great New Year.

Love

Hi Aleit

Over the year and a half we spent planning our wedding the you and your team had become as much a part of our lives as our family. We spoke with Faye almost daily and after the wedding had finished, it was indeed an adjustment, if not like losing a friend. There were indeed high expectations of our day, half of our guests were from abroad, and a few were in the events planning business. However, nothing had prepared them for the luxury and excellent service provided to us by you, your team and the service providers on that day. Some of them are calling it the best wedding they've ever been to!! I don’t think Alex and I would have enjoyed the day as much if we had decided to plan this ourselves, every stressful opportunity was taken away knowing that we were in safe hands.

We wanted to thank you once again for making our wedding day better than we had ever imagined! Your imagination and hard work in the build up to the big day, not to mention your efforts on the day itself, created the most perfect wedding for us that our faces are etched with a permanent grin of pure happiness! You helped create the most wonderful memories of our wedding day, and we cannot find words to thank you enough! (and a big thanks to Mia as well for her hard work on the day!)

You recommended Vrede en Lust and we trusted you, even though we would only see the venue a few days before the wedding, as we arrived from London to Cape Town a week before the wedding! It was the perfect choice for us. Hayley, you were just fantastic and was always on the ball - we feel so lucky to have had you helping us with our wedding. The Aleit team recommended a few photographers to us and we were extremely happy with our choice once again!

Thanks!

Dear Aleit and Faye

Well, after a week of non-stop rain and winter weather, our day arrived and was absolutely magic! Right from the very beginning I was the most relaxed bride and was able to enjoy every moment of the wedding day. It was a very special day for both of us and our guests are still talking about our it and I think that is a credit to you both...for understanding what we wanted and for exceeding our expectations! You made sure every person, be it the bridal party or the guests felt special on the day.

You guys just took over and left all the fun stuff for us! It was such a comfort knowing that you were looking after our interests while we were so far away, and when we arrived you allowed us to enjoy your wedding day without having to worry about the little things!
Well done and thanks again J

Hi Aleit and Hayley

Your efficiency in planning stole my limelight and had all the guests talking about how organized everything was and how they felt like royalty because of your watch over service and details. From day one you had your priorities right and unlike what people think you helped us save money by using your experience and stopping us from repeating the regular wedding blunders.

You have given us a wedding we never dared to dream of, you brought all our thoughts together better than we did in our fantasies, and we will surely be booking you in advance for all our special events from now on (a baby christening next year?!). We love you and your love for what you do came through on a day that is so important to us, but to you was just another day at the office.

Much love

Dear Hayley and Aleit

I would just like to say how thankful we both are to you all over there for helping us with our wedding.  The day was so perfect, and special and our guest compliments huge!!  Especially on the photos.

Hayley did such an amazing job for us.  I am a complete control freak and felt very comfortable knowing that she had it all in hand.    After the terrible event in the week before the wedding she became a godsend and helped us out not only with wedding details but with personal stuff too.  We definitely could not have got through that week without her help and friendship.

Once again, thank you for everything.

Dear Hayley

This is just a small note to say a very big thank you. You really made our day perfect and truly memorable. It would not have been possible without you and your team. Your support and calmness during the weeks was incredible and we are both very grateful. Everyone loved our day, the response to the food and the flowers and photos have been amazing.
We all had the best day ever

Thank you. With love

Dear Faye

My memories of 23 May – A Cape Autumn Romance – are nothing but picture perfect and makes me smile. The same memories makes me laugh out loud at the sheer happiness Garth and I experienced on this very special day. I could have burst with joy at the magic of it all.

You, Faye, along with Aleit, helped to create our perfect wedding day and in the process also became a dear friend. I cannot thank you enough for your hard work, attention to detail and long hours you put into the day. As I said to Aleit is the master of his trade and you learned from the very best! You did a fantastic job and I’m sure Aleit is very proud of your efforts.

Together you and Aleit far surpassed my most extravagant little-girl-dreams of my wedding day.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It was great working with you. Garth and I greatly appreciate your endless hours of hard work and your patience with all our requests.

You are a star!

Love
Natalia & Garth

Hi Aleit

The phrase, thank you, will never be able to truly express the gratitude we feel towards you for the creation of my dream day.
I think every girl dreams about her wedding day from an early age but through the years her picture of that dream day changes. Well, Garth and my, special day was even more than what our wildest dreams could have hoped for. You have a wonderful ability to listen, to hear and to consider a brides expectation about her big day and then to create a day that exceeds all those expectations.
My ‘Cape Autumn Romance’ was awesome, magical and picture perfect. Clouds Estate, of course, was also an ideal place to deliver the theme chosen. The most wonderful aspect of the day was that neither me, nor my mother were ever worried about something going wrong. Between you and Faye you were always in control and everything ran so smoothly that I never had pre-wedding jitters. Every time Garth and I had a meeting with you, it was nothing but a pleasure and I believe that in this way we also fostered a relationship with you that will be a lasting one. Aleit, you have the magic touch to combine the right people with the bride involved.
Aleit, from Garth and myself, thank you for an awesome dream day. Thank you for the trouble, hard work and attention that went into our wedding. You are no doubt the grand master of your industry.

Hugs & kisses

Dearest Hayley, Aleit and the rest of the team,

My goodness! Can it really be more than a month since our wedding day? Our feet have hardly touched the ground since then; we are still taking it all in….
And what a mind-blowing day it was! We were astounded with the level of detail at the wedding - words can’t do justice to all the experiences which, coupled with the fabulous backdrop of Webersburg lead to an unforgettable day… Thousands of views, sounds, tastes, emotions, friendship, families, fizz and fun! How terrible it would be if we had no memory.

Finally, before signing off; a big thank you on behalf of all our family and friends who stayed at Webersberg.  The staff were incredible - and special thanks should go to Michelle, who was particularly attentive during our stay, ensuring that everyone felt at home and had everything they needed.

Anyway, what more is there to say... We want to thank you ALL for a truly memorable day with such detail and thought interwoven into every aspect! We will remember the day for the rest our lives and for that we have you to thank, as it is a day we will cherish forever.

With love and best wishes

Dear Jaco and Aleit

Many people asked us why we chose to marry so far away. Actually, we started to plan our wedding to take place somewhere a lot closer, e.g. in the Alps of Austria. It was hard to find a wedding planner until we finally hit the website of Aleit Munich. We had an appointment with Doreen, who runs Aleit Munich, who showed us photos of weddings in South Africa just to give us an impression of the stationery she would like to use. We not only fell in love with the style of those weddings but also with the surroundings, so we asked her to contact Aleit in South Africa to find out how much a wedding that far south of the equator would be.

It took us very few days to decide that this would be the way we wanted to get married. And it was the right decision in every way. The wedding was just a little better in every aspect than we could both ever imagine. Everything was planned to perfection, and Jaco, our coordinator, organised everything and made the wedding an extraordinary day.

The nicest compliment to the Aleit Group and (of course, to Jaco) came from several guests, who stated that they were glad to be married already, as they would never have been able to have such a wedding. They all said that it was the most beautiful and emotional wedding they’ve ever been to.

Dear Simoné, Aleit and Team

I experienced our wedding day in a cloud of happiness – if I could, it would be my groundhog day so that I could have it every day. The best moment was waiting in the manner house watching all the guests enjoying pre -reception drinks – it looked so beautiful with all the parasols - I wanted to join in as everyone looked like they were having fun, there was such a buzz in the air!

I feel like I shared my wedding with my closest friends; ones that must have known us forever. The Aleit team did everything so perfectly, it felt like they were thinking about us the whole time. Plus, you appealed to the snob in me - everything is done to such a high standard - I felt so proud that it was our wedding day. I hope that I get to keep in contact with Aleit and Simoné, as you are just amazing people that deserve all life's blessings for dealing with us crazy brides!

Dear Aleit Team

We have received the photos and they are amazing! We are really struggling to put into words how amazing the whole day was for us - people are still raving about it! We found the whole Aleit experience wonderful - I want to do it all again! PS: before I forget Candice was amazing.

Dear Aleit and Team

I know everyone says it, but it was simply the best day of our lives! The venue was stunning and the weather was perfect! As we weren't getting married until 4pm, we had most of the day to relax and take in the atmosphere. Sarah loved the time that she and all the girls had together, getting ready in the bridal suite, listening to music and sipping champagne, whilst the boys were playing tennis and Frisbee! Everything just felt so calm and relaxed and it all went so smoothly.  It was so nice to see our friends and families so happy and enjoying themselves and we loved seeing their reactions to all the great ideas and details of the wedding.

We simply loved the whole day, but our favourite part that we will never forget (and this was our guests’ favourite part too) was after signing the register. All our guests were seated for the meal, and as the best man began to introduce us as husband and wife, Stevie Wonder’s Sign, sealed, delivered kicked in. We paused for a few seconds and listened to our friends and families excitement, and as we came down the stairs and entered the room they all just went crazy! Clapping, cheering and whistling, we felt absolutely amazing, it was like being famous, we were so happy! Every time we hear that song it will take us back to that amazing time and we love the fact that all our guests say it too!
Aleit, Simoné and his team are AMAZING! The whole service that they provide from beginning to end is incredible, their ideas for your big day are unbelievable. They are so down to earth yet so professional, their ambition and drive will never be matched. Thanks to Aleit and Simoné our wedding day went perfectly, we were blown away by the attention to detail and how smoothly everything ran. It was better than we ever dreamed it would be, we will never be able to thank them enough!

Dear Aleit team

Our wedding day was the most perfect day. Everything flowed and worked together. Everyone and everything was relaxed, it all just blended into a day that so perfectly complimented us. I would not change a thing. from James changing his mind on meeting arrangements at the last minute to the Minister getting our names wrong during the ceremony. Everything happened as it should have done. Perfectly. It is the little imperfections that make anything unique and perfect in its own right.

The moment that I’ll never forget was seeing Ray walking up the aisle. What we’ll both never forget was walking into the dining room at Tokara as our favourite song (Hoppipolla by Sigur Ros) was played and everyone turned, looked at us and stood up. It was like a steady cam shot from a movie and totally overwhelming after taking the photos and sitting outside on our own. Entering the reception area to the applause of our friends and family was by far the most humbling moment in my life and a memory that will stick with me forever. To be loved and feel love from friends and family in such a way is truly the ultimate blessing.

Aleit, Zoe and the rest of the Aleit gang were superb all the way from the initial consultation (where everything seemed like a minefield) to the day itself. They kept us calm and relaxed, treated us and our requirements both very personally and very professionally. Everything that we wanted (or didn't want!) they understood and tailed for us. They went above and beyond our expectations, we recommend them highly.

A more passionate group of people will be hard to find. It is the love for what they do, on to the smallest detail, that proved their biggest talent. Aleit, Zoe and the team has such passion and pride in their work, they will go out of their way to make your wedding true to you.

We loved your energy and creativity from the moment we met you and knew from then on that our wedding would be fabulous.

You and your Team are truly spectacular!
