| Welcome to Serene Bride Weddings and yes our
company name really is indicative of what we are all about which is to provide a wedding
planning service that pays attention to even the smallest of detail leaving our clients,
especially the bride, relaxed and “serene”. |

Our Grooms often comment on the fact that
they entered the wedding planning arena nervous because of all the negative stories they
have heard about very stressed, tearful and frustrated brides during the planning of their
weddings. We love it when these grooms introduce our consultants to friends and family as
“the one/s that kept us sane and happy”.
You may ask why Wedding Consultants can make your life easier:
We have planned many weddings over the years but for most couples their wedding is a new
event and the planning process can be quite overwhelming for them. Being in the wedding
industry, we have built up professional relationships with many of the leading role
players who provide services such as Ministers, venues, photographers, florists, makeup
artists, hairdressers, videographers, décor and wedding cake specialists, musicians,
DJ’s, caterers - in fact everything that you need to celebrate your wedding ceremony
and reception. Knowing the individuals in the various companies makes it easier to link
bridal couples’ personalities with like-minded suppliers to develop an awesome team
to cover every aspect of your wedding.
As wedding specialists, we can, and often do act as an objective third party and as an
intermediary – negotiating rates with vendors, smoothing issues over between
quarreling family members, and handling sticky situations where etiquette is involved. We
can even be the “bad guy” when necessary which is a role that most couples are
happy to rid themselves of. Our consultants can also act as your voice of reason helping
you to stay on track and to keep your priorities in order.
For help with headache-inducing small details such as designing a seating chart, making
seating and floor layout decisions, confirming every detail with your vendors, mapping out
schedules and programmes for your wedding day itself and being there on the day as your
wedding day director to iron out all the problems that may present themselves and for
speaking on your behalf - a wedding consultant is invaluable. The earlier in your planning
process that you book your consultant, the sooner we can start saving you time, money and
stress.
Why would you want a Serene Bride Wedding?
The answer to this question is best coming from our clients.
Planning and organizing weddings is simply not a hobby but is a business that is carried
out with absolute passion - and it shows. Many of our couples and their friends and family
have commented “you really love what you do” and this is usually said with some
surprise knowing the accompanying workload and level of commitment that is required with
each wedding!
We have been thanked for accepting every curve ball thrown at us (even on the day of the
wedding) with “calm professionalism” and the reason for this is that we have a
vested interest in your wedding from the moment that you decide to bring us onto your
team. We are not going to become upset and jump up and down when you change your mind
about your colour scheme, theme and other choices at the very last minute.
Clients thank us for working tirelessly to ensure that they are happy and realise that
Lesley Munday, the founder of Serene Bride Weddings, is a people’s person and is as
warm in her approach with her clients as she is capable and passionate about her work.
Lesley is not only very experienced, but has also qualified as a Professional Wedding
Consultant and is a long-time member of the South African Association for the Conference
Industry (SAACI).
Serene Bride Weddings – their Specialty?
We are often asked what we specialize in. Well apart from the obvious answer - weddings -
we usually respond that we are an international wedding company that loves helping couples
who have decided to be married in South Africa, particularly KwaZulu Natal where we are
based, and who choose to hand over their wedding and honeymoon arrangements to
specialists. We are invited to attend many of the Wedding exhibitions world wide owing to
our client base. Although the majority of our clients are from South Africa, United
Kingdom and United States of America, we are also working with couples from France,
Australia, New Zealand, United Arab Emirates and Mozambique. Our experience has taught us
to recognize the expectations of clients who reside in other parts of the world and what
the differences and trends are in the industry, globally. It is this knowledge that leads
to client satisfaction and trust in our basic work ethics.
Over the years, we have also gained additional knowledge of diverse cultures and have
experience of working with Christian, Jewish, Hindu, and Buddhist wedding ceremonies.
We have arranged intimate, elopement style weddings as well as huge marquee weddings. We
have worked with encore couples and those who choose to celebrate a wedding anniversary by
renewing their wedding vows and are looking for something entirely different to that
20-something style of wedding. We encourage them to celebrate in an entirely different way
as often these couples tend to focus on the traditions that they have built personally
throughout their lives either as individuals or together as a couple, rather than
following popular wedding traditions.
Whatever your reason for celebration, we at Serene Bride Wedding Consultants want you to
relax and have stress-free fun knowing that you have a support system that you can rely
on. |
