The Friendly Faces Behind the Magic

Someone – nobody will admit who – decided empathy means walking in someone else’s shoes. We think that’s just gross. So no, we won’t try on your shoes – but we will walk beside you, every step of the way.

Nick

Nick owns a staggering eight pairs of shoes.

He has two pairs of slip-on boots for smart occasions, two pairs of flip-flops for all-day comfort, a pair of fluffy sheepskin slippers, and three pairs of well-worn and very comfortable sneakers.

Whenever he can, however, Nick goes barefoot. It keeps life uncomplicated. Because that is how Nick does things – without complication.

Do not worry, Nick will wear shoes to your wedding.

Alison

Alison likes shoes. A lot. She will tell you that a person can never have too many shoes. She has footwear for every occasion you can think of, and even some for those you have never heard of. Alison recently bought special shoe cupboards just to manage all of her footwear.

Alison will wear the ideal shoes for your wedding. If she does not own them, she will gladly find them. Can you say shopping trip? Alison is that committed to making your wedding work for you.

Lesley

Lesley is all about comfort. Her shoes fit, and they fit well. She spends a lot of her day on her feet and chooses shoes that will look after her little piggies.

Lesley will not only be the perfect fit for your wedding, she will also make for a comfortable fit as she does what she does best: care.

She will look after you while she helps you prepare for – and experience – the wedding ceremony of your dreams.

Where the road takes us

We are based in Randburg, Johannesburg. That is where the paperwork lives, where most conversations begin, and where the Home Affairs process runs through — regardless of where the ceremony takes place.

Gauteng is our principal service area, and our marriage officer coverage across Gauteng includes Johannesburg, Pretoria, Centurion, Midrand, Sandton, Muldersdrift, Lanseria, the Cradle of Humankind, Ekurhuleni, and the Vaal — all part of a normal working week. We know the venues, we understand the traffic between the cities, and we plan accordingly so that nothing on your day is left to chance.

Hartbeespoort, Magaliesburg, and Rustenburg are destinations we travel to regularly. They sit beyond the Full Ceremony's included travel allowance, so a flat travel surcharge applies — agreed before booking, never a surprise on the day.

North West and Mpumalanga are separate provinces we reach by prior arrangement. Game lodges, private nature reserves, destination venues — if you have enough lead time and something specific in mind, we find a way to get there.

National fly-in ceremonies are possible. If your wedding is in KwaZulu-Natal, the Western Cape, or elsewhere in South Africa, reach out early. Flights and accommodation are confirmed separately, well before the day. Travel costs are always agreed in full before you book.
