 Our Services
About Doreen
Our main service as your wedding planner is to take the stress
off your shoulder and help you create a beautiful wedding day at
any destination you chose to.
A lot of details,people,money,time are involved in creating a
succesful wedding,but when the wedding is planned miles
away,the anxiety and mixture of feelings are normal to arise
because you are not there in the destination to talk to
vendors,to oversee the process .You need someone to trust
someone who understands the destination and the whole
aspect of weddings.
Your wedding day in a destination is more than just a wedding
day.It is a vacation to you as a couple and to your guests as
well.Because of this care should be taken to ensure the
logistics ,accommodation and the whole experience is nothing

 Testimonials
Ellena Sobonova
"Doreen is a God sent. I am from Russia and my
husband Abdul from Afghanistan.We really wanted to
get married sooner but in the middle of the pandemic
there were restrictions everywhere.We found the
information about her company online and she
immediately responded,helped us with Visa
proeedings to Tanzania and applied for our marriage
licence.We had never been to Africa so you can
imagine how sceptical I was.But she even looked for
a Russian translator and I felt so at ease.Upon
arriving in Dar es Salaam everything was ready and
we got married the next day.We really recommend
her,and Tanzania is a beautiful destination"
