    We are still floating in our little love bubble and just have to share the biggest thank you to Michelle, Monique, Tracy, Mila and the entire Trunk Events team 🤍 Our wedding day was absolutely incredible — truly magical, a real-life fairytale and completely unforgettable. Every single moment was beautiful, seamless and filled with so much joy. Michelle and Mila were beyond phenomenal on the day. They calmed my nerves, kept everything running flawlessly and ensured every tiny detail was perfect. I genuinely don’t have the words to express how grateful I am to have had this team guiding us through the entire process. Having them there on the day was everything. My brother even joked that he’s “scared of Michelle” because of how tightly she ran the ship — but honestly, that’s exactly why our day was flawless! The professionalism, organisation, care and attention to detail were next level. From the planning stages right through to the wedding day itself, the level of service was exceptional. They truly brought our dream wedding to life. We are so grateful and would recommend Trunk Events a thousand times over.
    There are many magnificent things about Tracy and her team - all of which I consider reasons why anyone planning a wedding should definitely utilise this wonderful team. Firstly, I was a bride planning a South African wedding from the cold and miserable England and Tracy and her team were the perfect ladies to help make the entire process seamless. Monique, Kaylyn and Tracy, you were superb and patient and I cannot thank you enough. A very special thank you to both Tracy and Mila who were our coordinators on the day. Such kind and genuine ladies who worked so hard to ensure that our special day was perfect. Everyone who met Tracy and Mila were blown away by their hard work and they exceeded my expectations in making the day magical and fun for everyone but especially for me and my new husband. Mila is an absolute asset to the Trunk Events team - it felt like she was an additional bridesmaid, on hand with any support I needed on the day and this support did not go unnoticed. I couldn't recommend this lovely team of ladies enough. They will very much ensure that your wedding goes exactly as you want and as planned (without you having to deal with the stress on the day) - which is invaluable. Thank you so much
    We couldn’t have asked for a more incredible experience with Trunk Events. From the very beginning, they were organised, attentive, and genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life. Every detail—big and small—was handled with such care and professionalism, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy the entire journey. What really stood out was how hands-on and responsive they were throughout. No question was too small, no request too much—they were always there with thoughtful guidance, creative ideas, and a calm presence that made everything feel effortless. A very special thank you to Monique, whose dedication and hard work truly made all the difference. Her attention to detail, warmth, and commitment ensured our day was not only seamless but unforgettable. We are so grateful for everything she did to make our wedding so meaningful and memorable. We would wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone looking for a planner who goes above and beyond.
    Working with Trunk Events was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, the team was incredibly supportive, offering expert advice and recommending fantastic service providers. The entire team we worked with leading up to the big day was so easy to work with and always great at assisting with any questions or concerns we had. On the day itself, Kaylyn was absolutely incredible. She handled every detail behind the scenes, ensuring everything ran smoothly so we didn’t have to think about a thing. She felt like a bridesmaid who was just going above and beyond to make our day perfect. Kaylyn’s calm approach was exactly what we needed; she made sure everything was carried out just the way we had hoped. We couldn’t recommend them more!
    We planned this wedding without even seeing the venue and being overseas. Our day was perfect, felt effortlessly smooth , deeply personal and better than we could have ever expected. We are beyond grateful for the incredible work Trunk Events did for our wedding. Michelle took charge of our wedding and from our very first meeting she truly listened to our vision, offered thoughtful ideas and guided us through every decision. Fast forward to the day, the coordination, timelines, decor literally everything was outstanding. We had a bit of a last minute change due to unforeseen circumstances but Michelle and Monique handled everything so seamlessly so that we could be fully present and enjoy every moment. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you so much for an unforgettable day.
