Sheryl van Heerden
Hi, I’m Sheryl van Heerden - wedding planner, stylist, and all-round people person who tears up at almost every set of vows.
With over 13 years' experience helping hundreds of couples create relaxed, stress-free weddings, I’ve refined a seamless process that makes planning effortless - especially for busy couples organising everything from interstate or overseas. From your very first enquiry, we can have your wedding confirmed within a day.
I’m passionate about creating weddings that feel personal, calm and full of heart. Our all-inclusive affordable weekday elopement and micro wedding packages (Monday to Thursday) take the pressure off, giving you a smooth, supportive experience in breathtaking locations, from the coast to the hinterland.
One of my favourite memories is from a UK elopement, where I held the couple’s 18-month-old during their ceremony so they could be fully present for their vows. It’s those little moments that matter, and I love making your day feel effortless for you, and for any guests who travel to celebrate with you.
My approach is warm, intuitive and completely tailored to your day. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s as easy as it is meaningful, I’d love to help bring it to life.
