Meet Wanda Besselaar · Owner & Wedding Planner

Behind I Do Weddings Garden Route is Wanda Besselaar, a hands-on wedding planner and coordinator who believes every couple deserves to feel cared for. With personal attention, practical planning and a love for beautiful details, she helps turn your ideas into a celebration that feels like you.

Based in Groot Brak River and working alongside A Vie @ C, Wanda brings together planning, décor, catering and wedding-day coordination. From intimate beach vows to garden, chapel and full venue celebrations, she takes care of the suppliers, setup and timelines that help your day flow smoothly.

Her approach is simple: listen closely, plan thoughtfully and be there when it matters. Whether she is supporting the bridal party, adding the finishing touches to a table or handling an unexpected change, Wanda stays personally involved so you can relax and enjoy the moments you have been looking forward to.

Alongside weddings, Wanda and her team also help bring private celebrations, corporate functions and year-end events to life—with the same care and attention to detail.

Your vision, thoughtfully brought together. Your day, yours to enjoy.
