By Top 10 Team 8 years ago

At Top Wedding Suppliers, we’ve curated a selection of trusted and highly rated wedding planners in KwaZulu-Natal, each known for delivering well-organised, beautifully executed celebrations across Durban, the North Coast, and the Midlands.

Whether you’re planning a coastal wedding overlooking the ocean, a Midlands countryside celebration, or a more intimate private event, working with an experienced planner ensures that every detail is professionally managed — from supplier coordination to timeline planning and on-the-day execution. Local planners also bring valuable insight into venues, logistics, and regional nuances, helping your wedding run smoothly from start to finish .

To help you get started, you can:

  • Request quotes from multiple planners at once, or
  • Contact individual planners directly to find the right fit for your wedding

Wedding planners in KwaZulu-Natal often book out 6–12 months in advance, particularly for peak season and destination weddings, so it’s worth reaching out early to secure your preferred date.

If you’re unsure where to start, we recommend shortlisting a few planners whose style and approach align with your vision, and getting in touch to check availability.

ETC Events was started in 2007 by Debbie Montague who has been involved in Wedding and Event Planning for 20 years in and around the country. She is passionate about Weddings and says ‘there is nothing as beautiful as a stress-free, glowing bride on her wedding day’. As different as each bride is, so every wedding is unique, but all deserve the same professional and dedicated co-ordination and planning leading up to and during the Wedding Day which ETC Events provides.

ETC Events provides a cost-effective service to brides that not only eases the stress of planning a Wedding but also offers a wealth of experience, saves you money and still involves the Bride in every aspect of the planning process.

We do offer customised packages to our brides depending on their individual requirements and this is why we offer a ‘no strings attached’ meeting/skype or phone call to discuss your Wedding.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our wedding would not have been the amazing day it was without you! The flowers were bright and happy and gorgeous and the decor was spot on. We loved that you totally got our concept of a long lazy lunch and what we wanted for the whole look and feel of the day and just made it happen – and with fantastic attention to detail. We are also so thankful that you organised and coordinated the setup and made sure everything was perfect on the day without us having to worry about a thing! It was a wonderful feeling walking into the reception venue after the ceremony and just being able to relax and enjoy ourselves. The other thing that made a massive difference to me was how great you are at communicating – both well in advance of the event when I was still looking for someone to help with the decor and in the run-up to the wedding when the little details became really important. It was amazing that I could message at any time with a question or request and nothing was ever an issue. My mom was so impressed at how calm you always were and how you just took everything in your stride – requests for fancy folded serviettes and all! Thanks again for everything. It was an absolute pleasure working with you – our wedding wouldn’t have been the wonderful, stress-free experience it was without you! – Kate & Gavin Levinstein

Our tips: Book your wedding planner

This is the first step to creating your dream day. 

Booking a wedding planner must be at the top of your to-do list! You receive so much value, expertise, advice and guidance while saving time and money along the way.  

Know when to ask for help. With busy work schedules and tons to get done, it is a good idea to invest in a wedding planner. Depending on your needs and of course your budget, you can make use of a planner that only oversees certain tasks. An on-the-day coordinator will make your wedding day run smoothly or a planner will be there, helping you from the start, guiding your choices to make your budget work for you.

Besides your budget, it’s important to keep in mind that you need a planner whose personality suits you as a couple, one that understands your style and with experience that you can rely on.

Wedding planners usually have more than one package option, depending on the size and duration of the wedding celebrations. Here are a few questions to answer to help your planner choose the best package for your wedding:

• What is your wedding budget?
• What is the size of your wedding?  How many guests?
• Will your wedding run over a few days or just one day?
• Do you have an idea of a wedding date?  Are you flexible on this date?
• Have you seen a venue that you love?
• Have you already booked any of your suppliers
