Dayna started SWE back in 2014, not sure what to call her business she decided to use the name “Strawberry Weddings & Events” from one of her college projects. Now over 12 years later the name has stuck and has since built a strong reputation in the wedding and event industry.

Wedding Planner, Creative Design & Social Media Coordinator
Hayley is the newest addition to the SWE team. Originally from Canada, her journey brought her from Dubai, where she worked as a flight attendant, to South Africa, where she met her South African love.
Her passion for weddings began at a young age, when she would spend her time sketching wedding cakes and dreaming up beautiful floral tablescapes for her own wedding. Little did she know that those childhood drawings would one day become a career dedicated to bringing couples’ dream weddings to life and creating a little magic along the way.
