Cookie smash? We understood the assignment. 🍪💥

Six flavours, several very happy taste testers and absolutely ZERO crumbs left behind.

If you’re looking for wedding desserts or personalised guest favours, Dough Girl is one to have on your speed dial.

PS if your maths was math-ing and you realised we only showcased four of the six flavours in our reel, then what happened to the other two cookies...??? 🤔 My lips are sealed 🤫 but I can tell you my belly was bulging that night when I lay in bed. 😜

FEASTS AND FLAVOURS | For couples wanting wedding

FEASTS AND FLAVOURS | One of South Africa’s most c

FEASTS AND FLAVOURS | One of South Africa’s most celebrated chefs, @jackiecameronincolour is known for crafting haute cuisine that is as thoughtful and sophisticated as it is grounded in identity and place. From her award-winning tenure at Hartford House to the internationally recognised Jackie Cameron School of Food & Wine, every element of her work speaks of precision, artistry, and intention.

For Jackie, food isn’t just what’s served—it’s a reflection of who you are, and what matters most. With her deep roots in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands and a career that spans fine dining, mentorship, and media, she offers couples a true journey of food—one designed with care, creativity, and connection.

“Chef Jackie Cameron incorporates a sense of identity and place into her cooking better than any other chef in South Africa. Cameron’s plates engage with the diversity of South African sense of self. Classic tastes from across the cultural spectrum are reconfigured in a modern manner that allows them to take their place at the international table of multi award winning, world class, wonderful restaurants. From first bite of bread to last bon-bon, her work is subtle, sophisticated, skilled and delicious.” – Anna Trapido, restaurant critic.

You can host your celebration at her stylish venue in Hilton which features beautiful views and an elegant, modern feel – or invite her team to bring that same level of culinary excellence to your chosen venue. Either way, Jackie surrounds herself with handpicked professionals who move with quiet authority and thoughtful attention to detail.

This is wedding dining at its most considered: technically masterful, emotionally resonant, and unforgettably flavourful.

I DO | With 32 years of experience and a few thousand weddings behind him, Jonathan Payne of @jonathanpayne.weddings brings something deeply reassuring to the ceremony itself: confidence, perspective, and the ability to read the moment. His guiding philosophy is simple: the ceremony belongs to the couple. It should reflect what you want your marriage to mean and how you want to begin it.
ㅤ
Jonathan is as comfortable officiating The Main Event with all the processions, readings, vows, and rings, as he is leading a more relaxed Weekday Wedding or handling a Legal Registration for couples who want the paperwork done cleanly without a full gathering. He is also able to solemnise opposite-sex marriages, same-sex marriages, and international marriages, which makes his service widely relevant to couples planning very different kinds of weddings.
ㅤ
His background as a public speaker comes through in the way couples describe his presence: warm, confident, sincere, funny when it helps, moving when it matters, and able to keep guests engaged rather than simply waiting for the reception to begin.
ㅤ
The legal side is also handled thoroughly. Jonathan prepares the required documents, legalises the marriage, issues the official Section 12(3) certificate, registers the union with Home Affairs within five business days, and arranges delivery of the printed abridged marriage certificate.
ㅤ
Couples speak about feeling understood, supported, and at ease, with ceremonies that felt deeply personal and guests who still talked about them afterwards. That is probably the clearest recommendation of all.

I DO | When Sarah at @somethingtrue.weddings helps

I DO | When Sarah at @somethingtrue.weddings helps you write your wedding vows or ceremony script, you’re getting a moment in time made tangible—words that reflect your history, your humour, your heartbeat. You’re inviting someone into your story—someone who listens deeply and writes with heart. She helps you find the words that feel like your own, honouring the journey you’ve shared and the promises you’re ready to make.

Whether you’re overwhelmed at the thought of writing your own vows or need a full ceremony script for a friend, family member, or celebrant to deliver, Sarah guides you through a deeply personal and collaborative process. She listens intently, asks the right questions, and weaves your story into something lyrical, real, and true—something you’ll treasure for the rest of your life.

And when you read it back—or hear those words spoken aloud—you’ll know, deep in your bones, that this is exactly what you meant to say.

An English Lit graduate, dog-mum to Eleanor the rescue Scottie, and devoted collector of love stories, Sarah brings thoughtfulness and literary grace to everything she creates. Her writing has moved guests to tears (and laughter!), and her packages—ranging from vow-writing to full ceremony and MC scripts—meet you with just the right amount of support, wherever you are in the process.

Together, you’ll co-create something thoughtful and emotionally true—written to be shared and remembered. A celebration of your love and a gift to everyone who witnesses it.

Because these are more than just words. This is your love, spoken out loud.

I DO | The ceremony is not just the part of the we

I DO | The ceremony is not just the part of the wedding where the legalities happen. It is the moment that gathers everything the day is really about. And with Bianca Pieters of @officiantbiancakzn, that moment is treated with the care it deserves.
ㅤ
Bianca’s approach is deeply tailored. She does not arrive with a one-size-fits-all script and simply slot your names into it. She takes time to understand who you are as a couple, what tone feels right for you, and what kind of ceremony will actually reflect your relationship. That could mean something spiritual, secular, multi-religious, or pagan; something light and unfussy, or something more poetic and ceremonial. The service should feel like yours.
ㅤ
What makes her offering strong is that the practical side is handled with equal care. Bianca guides couples through the required paperwork, legally solemnises and registers marriages and civil unions, issues a temporary marriage certificate, and submits the registration to Home Affairs within three business days. For many couples, that kind of clarity removes a huge amount of stress.
ㅤ
She also offers different levels of ceremony depending on what you need: The Big Celebration for a fuller traditional wedding, The Intimate Wedding for smaller gatherings, and The Legal Marriage for couples who simply want the paperwork handled cleanly and professionally.
ㅤ
The client feedback speaks to what couples actually experience. They describe a process that felt stress-free, a ceremony that reflected them accurately, and a service that kept guests engaged while still feeling meaningful. Bianca is efficient and well prepared, while also holding the emotional centre of the ceremony beautifully.
ㅤ
Bianca’s business is LGBTQI+ allied.

I DO | When @rev_alice officiates a wedding, something quietly profound happens. The moment slows, hearts open, and love takes centre stage—not as a performance, but as a shared experience that brings everyone present into the heart of your story.
ㅤ
With over 15 years of experience and two Master’s Degrees in Theology from UKZN and Oxford, Alice brings both professional expertise and deep emotional intelligence to every wedding she leads. But it’s not her credentials that make her ceremonies unforgettable—it’s her ability to really see you. To listen, understand your journey, and shape a ceremony that reflects who you are and what you hold dear.
ㅤ
Whether you envision something light-hearted or deeply sacred, joyful and relaxed or beautifully reflective, Alice will work with you to strike the right tone. From your first chat to the moment you say “I do,” she’s there to guide, support, and celebrate with you. And when the big day arrives? You won’t have to think of a thing.
ㅤ
She’s licensed to perform Christian, non-religious, and legal-signing ceremonies, and is happy to travel to your venue anywhere in KwaZulu-Natal. She also provides meaningful mini-services for elopements or intimate weddings—or will simply assist with the legal paperwork if that’s all you need.
ㅤ
For Alice, this isn’t just a role—it’s a calling. As an ordained minister, former chaplain, and passionate community leader, she pours heart and soul into her work. And the result? Ceremonies that feel personal, intentional, and deeply meaningful.
ㅤ
So, if you're looking for someone to honour your love story with warmth, care, and reverence, Rev Alice may be just the person you’ve been hoping to find.
ㅤ
Please note: Unfortunately, Alice currently holds a licence for heterosexual marriages only.
