About Us
Jewel Weddings was co-founded by Soso Dekeda, a qualified Dental Technician who decided to follow her passion
We started out in December 2012 as Jewel Weddings and Events. Whilst the focus has always been wedding planning, at the time we also provided event management services.
Our name changed to Jewel Weddings when a decision was taken to focus on our core business of wedding planning. This move enabled us to be single-minded and grow our expertise in wedding planning. Our clients now benefit from a specialist wedding planning service.
The numerous weddings that we have planned over the years throughout South Africa have enabled us to grow an extensive network of exceptional service providers countrywide. Our experience has also positioned us as experts in the industry, all to the benefit of our clients.
We are all about delivering unique experiences for our clients
