Dreaming of a breathtaking South African wedding but planning it from halfway across the world? You’re not alone — and you’re exactly who we’re here for.
At Two Cherries, we specialize in helping international and expat couples plan stunning, stress-free weddings from afar. Whether you’re in London, Dubai, Berlin, or Brisbane, we bring your wedding vision to life with precision, heart, and an expertly managed remote planning process.
So if you’ve ever wondered, “Can I really plan a wedding from overseas?” — the answer is yes, and we’ll show you how.
The Two Cherries Difference: Remote Planning, Real Connection
We understand that long-distance wedding planning can feel overwhelming. Time zones, currency conversions, and vendor coordination? Yikes.
That’s why we’ve developed a refined virtual planning process to give you confidence, clarity, and control — wherever you are in the world.
Here’s what to expect when you plan your destination wedding with Two Cherries:
1. Virtual Discovery & Planning Meetings
No need to hop on a plane just to say hello. Your journey begins with a warm, pressure-free video consultation to get to know you as a couple and your dream wedding vibe.
From there, we guide you through a tailored planning roadmap, including:
-
Zoom or Google Meet strategy calls
-
Recorded walkthroughs of venues and vendor meetings
-
Online signature tools for easy approvals
-
Regular status updates via shared platforms like Trello or Notion
You’ll always know where we are in the process — and what’s next.
2. Personalized Digital Planning Dashboard
Every Two Cherries couple receives a secure, cloud-based planning dashboard — your virtual wedding HQ.
Inside, you’ll find:
-
A custom planning timeline and checklist
-
Live budget tracking
-
Vendor recommendations and booking status
-
Style guides, inspiration boards, and menus
-
Guest RSVP tracker (especially helpful for multi-country guest lists)
Remote planning doesn’t mean less control — it means better tools.
3. Curated Vendor Matching & Local Liaison Services
Finding trustworthy florists, caterers, photographers, or musicians from another continent is tough — unless you have a local expert on your side.
We:
-
Vet and match you with vendors who suit your style and budget
-
Attend all in-person meetings on your behalf
-
Share video updates, contract reviews, and creative suggestions
You’ll never wonder what’s happening on the ground — we’re your eyes, ears, and voice in South Africa.
4. Venue Walkthroughs & Location Scouting Videos
Can’t visit in person? No problem.
We conduct personalized video walkthroughs, showing lighting, layout, ambiance, and logistics from every angle. Multiple venues can even be compared in one video so you can make informed decisions without traveling.
For one UK-based couple, we filmed a full venue tour at the exact time of day they’d be married, so they could see how the light would fall on their ceremony arch. That’s the Two Cherries touch.
5. Seamless Guest Experience Coordination
Many international weddings have guests flying in from around the globe — and their experience matters.
We help you:
-
Suggest accommodations and group bookings
-
Coordinate transportation from airports to venues
-
Plan optional pre-wedding and post-wedding events
-
Handle dietary preferences, cultural sensitivities, and access needs
We can even design a wedding website to manage RSVPs and share travel tips.
