About me
My favourite colour is RED, that's why I always have the most vibrant red hair colour! It is the color at the end of the visible spectrum of light, it is warm, positive & passionate – just like me! Its signifies action, energy, confidence, courage, excitement and determination and therefore had to be part of my business name. Red events was born in 2005.
My qualifications include a B.Tech Marketing degree, Advanced Diplomas in Graphic design, Photoshop & Photography as well as Wedding Photography. I have an Event Management Diploma and completed my Food Prep and Culinary Arts LV2 courses & Food Safety exams. Through the years I mastered various programs including Adobe Photoshop & Lightroom, Final Cut Pro & more.
I am also a CPD qualified pilates instructor as I believe a healthy mind & body is key to success. I am a quick learner and enjoy solving problems – I love learning all the time as I believe knowledge is power. I am not afraid to try new things and never shy away from a challenge. I cope well under pressure and strive to give my best at all times and am proud to have many satisfied clients through the years.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the work you did on my 70s themed birthday party … your prices are VERY COMPETITIVE which enabled me to have more for my party … you thought of EVERYTHING that needed to be done … which made the planning part a thousand times less stressful … you were there for me every step of the way! My invitations were GORGEOUS, you arrived a hour earlier to help me set up … the party goodies you made were STUNNING and just added to the whole theme and awesome vibe of my party … the salads were DELICIOUS and even though you offered to do my photography for free … you were still on the ball ALL NIGHT … capturing AMAZING moments with each of my guests … I didn’t even know half those pictures were taken until I saw them. My party was a HUGE success and its all thanks to YOU!! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND your services to ANYONE - keep up the good work girl! Candyce Chiles
