About
A modern home for Cape ceremonies.
Cape Town and the Winelands marry the world. And yet, finding a celebrant who fits the ceremony you actually want has stayed needlessly hard — phone calls to planners and marriage officers, awkward conversations about who they will and won't marry, and very little choice for couples who want something modern, secular, and unapologetically theirs.
Wedding Collective Cape Town is the alternative. A curated directory of wedding celebrants who write personal, contemporary ceremonies — and who welcome every couple, every faith, every language, every kind of love.
the Cape, the way I love it

Celebrant · Cape Town
A ceremony is an intimate experience, so it matters that you book somebody who is your kind of person.
Behind Wedding Collective Cape Town is me, Caroline. Swiss, bilingual German / English, living with my family in Cape Town. I met my husband — a South African — here in 2013, and have been at home in both worlds ever since.
We live a laid-back lifestyle, love the ocean, surfing, and the small and big moments that make life at the Cape so unique. That same energy goes into the ceremonies I create — and into the platform I've built for other modern celebrants.
Adventure lights me up. I love the ocean, real conversations, and people who go their own way. And I believe a ceremony should feel exactly like the two people in it.
