We used Roelien Parkin/RED Events & Photography for all our wedding planning and such. Roelien Parkin was AMAZING🤩!! From our first meeting, Roelien understood exactly what we wanted and knew exactly how to fit all of our hundreds of ideas into our tiny budget.

Her excitement was always infectious when we had our meetings and she always had a "I'm on top of it" attitude which helped me a whole lot as I was most of the time a nervous wreck😣😱😲🤑. Roelien was a godsend being in complete control with totally dealing with all the things like the venue; dj; photographers;bridal shower and even family situations that I needed help with. What helped us even more was the fact that Roelien even made us a personal budget leading up to the wedding so we knew exactly how much we needed to spend/save each month without feeling like we missed anything.

If it was not for Roelien, I would have gone full bridezilla mode long before the wedding even got close but luckily for us Roelien was always there to go full bridezilla on my behalf 😂😂. Even on the wedding day, Roelz was so on top of things that I only found out after the wedding that there was a problem but thanks to her, it was handled even before I could notice anything was out of tune.

My husband Travis Meise and I could not express how much gratitude and love we have for Roelien Parkin❤️. It takes a special type of person to take someone's ideas and dreams and make them a reality. It is because of you Roelien Parkin at RED Events & Photography that we have started our next chapter in our life together like a fairytale🤩.

I would recommend your amazing service and "on top of it" attitude to EVERYONE!!!!

Boho themed wedding planning, design & co-ordination by Red events & photography: October 2018

Planned and decorated a hollywood style themed wedding with black & white linen, red roses, tafetta overlays and clear glass vases filled with water and floating roses. Black champagne classes finised off the setting as the couple did not want plates on the table. The couple were renewing their vows under the tree outside and it was decorated with white & gold tafetta as well as gold bird cages with fairy lights and roses. This wedding was sadly cancelled on the day of the wedding as the family contracted Covid-19 and had to isolate. Catering by Chef Roelz - Starters: Canapes with a variety of toppings Mains: 3-meat spit consisting of a beef roll, pork roll and chicken accompanied by a butternut, beetroot & goats cheese salad, balsamic strawberry bacon & spinach salad as well as a brocolli pasta salad and roast potatoes - the food was made for the family after the event.
