Our Story
Elizabeth May Events was founded with a simple belief:
exceptional events are not defined by excess, but by intention, expertise, and execution.
What began as a passion for thoughtful design and seamless coordination has grown into a refined planning and styling studio specialising in weddings and events across South Africa. From intimate celebrations to large-scale productions, our work is guided by structure, creativity, and an unwavering attention to detail.
We understand that behind every celebration is a story, a vision, and a set of expectations. Our role is to translate those elements into a cohesive experience — one that feels effortless for our clients and unforgettable for their guests.
By taking on a limited number of events each year, we are able to offer a highly personalised, hands-on approach. We lead with clarity, communicate with intention, and manage every detail so our clients can enjoy the process with confidence and calm.
At Elizabeth May Events, luxury is not about trends or extravagance. It is about considered choices, trusted partnerships, and a beautifully executed experience from beginning to end.
Our greatest measure of success is when our clients are fully present — free to celebrate, knowing everything is taken care of.
“From start to finish, working with Elizabeth May was pleasant and stress free. The florals for the wedding were perfect and beyond what we could have imagined.”
