Wedding Packages

Full Co-ordination Package

We hand-pick trusted suppliers who align with your vision, budget, and expectations—ensuring they deliver exceptional service on the day. We take care of all supplier communication and payments, and for your peace of mind, we carefully track every transaction.

To keep things running seamlessly, we’ll compile a detailed timeline and running order, which all suppliers are required to sign off on before the wedding.

Unless otherwise arranged, we’ll be onsite from the moment the first supplier arrives in the morning and coordinate the event through to the end of the formalities—typically when the dance floor opens. At that point, we hand over to the venue manager.

All supplier breakdowns and pick-ups will be confirmed as part of the final timeline. If needed, one of our junior coordinators will stay onsite to manage the final shift.

Rest assured—you’ll be in excellent hands from start to finish.

On The Day Co-ordination Package

Our Wedding Day Coordination service is designed to give you complete peace of mind in the final lead-up to your celebration.

We’ll schedule one meeting ahead of your big day—ideally at your wedding venue—so we can walk through the space together and fully understand the look and feel you have in mind.

With your input, we’ll build a detailed running order for the day and take over all supplier communication one week before the wedding.

On the day itself, our team will be onsite from the moment the first suppliers arrive. We’ll manage the flow of the day and ensure everything runs smoothly through to the final formalities—usually once the dance floor opens —after which we’ll hand over to the venue manager (unless otherwise arranged).

All breakdowns and supplier pick-ups will be confirmed in the final timeline.

Please note: If you need us to source any suppliers on your behalf, our full planning package will apply.

Blank Canvas has been an absolute dream to work with! They have organised two of our company year-end functions, and both were executed to perfection. Their team brought super creative ideas to the table and turned our vision into a reality with incredible attention to detail. If you're looking for a team that is professional, innovative, and dedicated to delivering outstanding events, I highly recommend Blank Canvas!

If you are looking for a dynamic team for an international wedding, look no further. Margaux from Blank Canvas was our right hand person for the 18 months leading to the wedding. With complex logistics & a lot of admin on vendors and locations and events, Margaux's ability to execute and be our voice was incredible. She was attentive, proactive, candid and just incredibly kind and patient throughout the process. As someone who juggles a great number of logistics, I can honestly say, we could not have had the wedding we wanted without her. Blank Canvas was the glue to our big day, which exceeded our wildest dreams and made our vision a reality.

Margaux did an amazing job planning our wedding! I got to do all the fun bits without any of the hard work. The day was perfect for us and ran so smoothly. Little did we know Margaux was one step ahead all the time fixing any hiccups. She was regularly communicating plans and updates and helped us create our dream. Our guests had an absolute blast, and so did we! Thank you!

My Husband and I currently live in Washington DC and when we decided to get married in Cape Town, South Africa we knew we needed a wedding planner to help. We found out about Margaux and Sunelle of Blank Canvas through The Pretty Blog. Both ladies exceeded our expectations and made our wedding a fairy tale come true!! They were extremely professional, prompt and had many creative ideas for our wedding. Both Margaux and Sunelle were not only organized and helpful but extremely understanding of our crazy schedules and making sure everything was perfect! I would recommend them to any local or international bride!

We couldn't be happier with our decision to enlist the help of Blank Canvas for on the day wedding coordination. Our main goal was to have support on the day so that our families and friends could enjoy every moment, but both Margaux and Sunelle went above and beyond to help us before and on the day, more than we ever could have asked for. Margaux was fantastic to work with, she is superbly organized and on point. She helped us in so many ways before the wedding, sending us helpful reminders in the weeks leading up to our wedding. Through Blank Canvas we were also linked up with with our celebrant, Fourie, - who was wonderful, and we received so many positive comments on the service, our lighting and decor at the last minute - which added so much to the ambience of our venue, and our staff - who were so professional and polite. On the day both Margaux and Sunelle went out of their way to help us put together the finishing touches. Everything was perfect!!! Thank you so very much for helping to make it a special day for our families and friends...and for us.

Hailing from the Uk and the Seychelles, and living in Dubai, Cape Town may not have been the most logical place to get married but myself and Nick both love it there. However after initially trying to plan our wedding remotely at a venue we had never seen before, apart from online, 8 weeks before the planned date we decided we needed help, both being absolutely clueless!!! The minute we contacted Blank Canvas and skyped with Sunelle we immediately knew we had made the best decision, from that moment on everything was smooth sailing. The actual day couldn't have gone any better we were both completely blown away as were all our friends and family. Sunelle and Margaux did an outstanding job, everything was just perfect and we didn't have to think once about what should be happening, we just got to enjoy the day. Thank you both for all your hard work in the build up and on the day, we both know it would have been impossible to pull off without your help. A millions thanks, and all our love Nick and Dave

Blank Canvas Event Design is a team of experts that turned our wedding into a roaring success. They were coordinating everything from the most obvious to the tiniest detail. I appreciated them for their contacts, on point advice, professional handling of everything, friendly demeanor and the support they offered us through out. Blank Canvas Events Design is the best in the business and I can't imagine having our wedding without them!

Sunelle and the Blank Canvas team were on of the best investments we had for our wedding this past weekend. If you are not sure if you really need an on the day coordinator let me spare you the back and forth and tell me that you do. I am pedantic planner myself and still they solved problems I couldn't even see happening. From last minute rain in the middle of February, to delivery of incorrect furniture, ensuring all out furniture was clean and white, correct sizes of furniture, wrapping of trees, timeline modification, prompting of the MC, cake organization, ensure all deliveries were delivered (including those that forgot to deliver) and ALL the little details that would have gone awry without them. I cannot recommend Blank Canvas highly enough. Thank you again for making our wedding day better than I could have ever imagined.

I wish we had another wedding to plan because we would definitely want you to be our planner. Your dedication to bringing my wife's vision to life reflects the excellence in your services. The minute I walked into the reception hall I couldn't help but marvel at what you had accomplished. It reflected everything my wife dreamt of and I knew it would bring a smile on her face. She still when looks back at the pictures. You guys did not break sweat even when I made a last minute request for a love letter printed and also arranged it be delivered in the most special way. She is still over the moon about it. We cannot but highly recommend Blank Canvas. Thank you Margaux and Sunelle for a wonderful ceremony!!!
