Our MissionAchieve the wedding of your dreams from brides that have been there

We at Harmonious Encounters are committed to making your wedding day a memorable one for everyone involved.

We as event management professionals, have put our blood, sweat and tears into cultivating relationships with our event partners; into educating ourselves; diversifying ourselves; going to open houses, venue visits, tastings, conferences, networking events and so on, learning the tricks of the trade so that you don’t have to.

Once brides ourselves we know how important your story is to you, and as professionals we can bring it to life- a harmonious fusion of culture and individuality. We understand that culture plays a huge role in our lives and are fully committed to creating an event that brings your cultures to life on your special day.

We at Harmonious Encounters strive to meet the unique individual needs of every couple we are privileged to work with.

What We Do, We Do Well

At Harmonious Encounters our main focus is on uniting two cultures together as one. Each of us come from different backgrounds, we have diverse knowledge of different cultures and religions. We understand that like marriage, the ceremony of the event is about blending different cultures together.

We at Harmonious Encounters ensure that we are prepared for any emergency that may or may not occur at your wedding. During an event the Bride tore her dress when she was getting up from her chair. In preparation for a situation like this we always keep a seamstress on call and sewing kits in our event emergency packs. We know how important it is for everything to work out on your wedding day so we make sure that we have strong relationships with our network of industry professionals.

Situations, no matter how hard you prepare to avoid them, do occur from time to time. The father of the groom forgot to pick up the tuxedos before the wedding. Luckily we have strong connections with Moore’s clothing store and we were able to get a hold of some tuxedos and the event only ended up being 10 minutes behind schedule.
