"Made the BEST decision having Danica plan our two wedding events! She straightway helped us get organised with a detailed wedding document with all our vendor information and our wedding schedule in one document. She solved issues in the background and made sure our decor was placed exactly how we wanted it!
On my wedding days I didn’t have a single worry as I knew she was a pro! And I wasn’t wrong! Everything was smooth and professional. She made me feel special and looked after (I was actually really shocked she was working on other weddings shortly after mine). You couldn’t even tell as she made sure I felt she was there for me and my family.
I can’t thank her and the team enough. My wedding day(s) were perfection thanks to you."

"Danica was absolutely instrumental in the success of our wedding. She was organized, calm and had our best interests at heart through the entire process. I can highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to make the journey as fun and as stress free as possible."

"We decided to get married 6 months after we got engaged. We wouldn't have been able to pull the wedding off without the help of Danica. We did a partial planning & coordination package because I already had a good idea of the vendors I wanted to use. She helped me take care of all of the details & contracting to ensure that we didn't miss anything important. We had all our big suppliers booked 3 months before the wedding which left us with ample time and ease to sort out the finer details in the last three months. On the wedding day, Danica managed all aspects of the day and everything ran like clock work. Everyone told me to prepare myself that something would go wrong but literally everything went according to plan and we had the most amazing day.
To any busy Bride To Be: Do yourself a favour and gift yourself a wedding planner because it allows you to have your dream day without the stress & worry. You'll have someone in your corner that will have your back throughout to make sure that you, your partner and guests have the best day. You deserve to spend the months leading up to your wedding to focus on your upcoming commitment, your mental & physical health and enjoying the pre-wedding celebrations so that you don't miss a thing!"

"I stumbled on Signify collective planning while I was desperately looking for help to do a destination wedding in South Africa and oh I was so lucky to find a planner like Danica.
She was like the best friend and sister on a mission to help you create all your dreams in a wedding come to life, it was magical and our guests till now reminisce about our wedding saying it was the best wedding they attended -And not only that she also gave us a gift at the end to remember our wedding and our love.
She is truly one of a kind and I cannot recommend her enough"

"I feel so lucky and so grateful to have come across Danica to help me plan my wedding. My wedding was seriously beautiful, so well organised and did not completely break the bank - which are 3 very difficult points to meet when planning a wedding!
Danica has so much experience planning weddings and other events, and her experience really shines through when we work through her extensive checklists and when she exposes me to the huge network and relationships she has with trustworthy and quality vendors.
I did not want to be stressed about my wedding and I wanted to enjoy the planning process, and Danica was my perfect match! She did not bombard me with messages and emails, checked in regularly to make sure I was on track, and was super easy to reach when I had any questions.
She was also an on-the-day coordinator, and she was super organised in helping the vendors get set up, helping the photographer out, and also spent HOURS steaming our dresses!
I LOVED working with Danica, and I would seriously recommend her to anyone looking to plan a wedding (or any event in that matter)! Thank you so much for helping me achieve the wedding of my dreams!"
SARAH & LIAM
"Where to start? Danica was the most reliable and consistent vendor during our whole wedding process back in November 2023. We had some budget restrains and when flagging this to most planners, I didn't always receive the warmest welcome.
With Danica, she welcomed me with open arms, no project is too big nor too small. Not once did she make us feel like our goals were unreachable and even though we were only able to have her for the setup, I have to tell you she held my hand through the entire planning process and guided me as much as she could up until we said our do.
Danica has an exceptional background from culinary experience, to stationery, decor and of course planning. She's adaptable to your taste and just "gets it" all the time. If you're looking for that human to human connection, she's your lady. She truly shares your excitement for the big day, her passion for the industry shines almost as bright as her smile. You will not regret partnering with Danica.
Getting married is a beautiful and wonderful experience, and of course stressful - let her calmness help you. You won't regret it. I wish I could give Signify Collective Planning a 10 start rating."
Francesca & Jamie
"Danica. Was absolutely Brilliant.She handled our full timeline and made sure we had everything done before the wedding date.
We had multiple meetings and created a check sheet for us to work through. That way we were sure to not miss a single thing.She’s always available for a call and her knowledge on what works well together really helped us make up our minds when it came to desire and themes.
She also supplied us with stationery which was exactly what we wanted.
If you need any form of wedding planning or advise. Look no further. As she offers it all.
Thank you for making our dream day possible"

"I write this review with the happiest of hearts because the best investment we ever made in our wedding process was hiring Danica!
Not only is she just the most incredibly kind and supportive person, but she’s incredibly well organised - even with a pedantic bride like me. She kept us organised and on time, and on the day made sure the morning and the ceremony went off without a hitch. She is kind and helpful at every turn, went above and beyond sourcing vendors and keeping everyone on track.
We had the most stress free wedding and I credit this to Danica. Thank you everything - you were a God-send & we so appreciate you guiding us through this journey 💛🙏🏾"

"Good Morning Danica,
This is long overdue. I’m sorry! But I just wanted to send you my endless gratitude for everything you did at our wedding.I have a attached a few pics of the day I thought you might like to see.
You truly are a master at what you do, and there is no doubt in my mind that our wedding would not have been anywhere near as magical without your involvement.
Your absolute clarity and calm when dealing with me – kept me sane! I just knew that my confidence in you was completely justified and nothing proves it more than the outcome.
I could not have asked for more. You are Magnificent (and you did it pregnant which blows my mind)!!!
Thank You Thank you Thank You!
Lots of love, Kyla"

Because of you I could just enjoy the day!"
andreA & DEON
"Dear Danica,
We don’t have enough words to thank you for creating the most magical, perfect wedding day we could have ever dreamed of. You put your time, sweat, stress and even tears into planning every detail and it showed in every single moment.
Even with the drama and hurdles with some of the suppliers, you ensured that everything turned out beyond perfect.
I know you work with so many couples, but you never made us feel like just another couple. You went above and beyond to make our day feel special and seamless and it truly was. Roelof and I are over the moon and have been receiving so many compliments — all thanks to you.
We can’t wait to receive our photos and to tag and promote you because you are, without a doubt, the absolute best. Thank you again for everything, Danica. We are so grateful!
With all our love and appreciation,
Daniellé and Roelof "

"Danica was an amazing wedding planner. She was on-the-ball, listened intently to our vision and helped to craft it into reality, handled hiccups like a pro, and proactively solved problems on the fly on our big day to the point where we didn’t even notice them and could instead get on with our important day.
She impressed us by being prepared with a toolkit for every minor snag - when my dress broke, she was armed with a needle and threat to fix it!
We thoroughly recommend her for couples who want an attentive planner and a solid, reliable support for their big day."
Claire & Alex
"Danica was absolutely incredible! She made it possible for us to plan our SA wedding all the way from the USA. Anytime we had any questions or stuck in a situation, she would help right away.
Danica truly tried to keep our best interests at heart and wasn’t just trying to upsell. On our big day, she ensured everything went smoothly and according to plan.
Thank you Danica!"
carmen & Adriaan
"What an incredible experience we had. Danica was not just our wedding planner, but our biggest supporter, our cheerleader, our fighter and our peacemaker - Our day would not have been half as incredible as it was if it wasn't for her.
From suggesting a fantastic pastor to our venue personally recommending her services, she showed up and just took the wedding stress off our shoulders whilst even assisting in planning my bridal shower - taking the stress off my bridal party. We loved working with her and would highly recommend her to anyone that needs help with event planning.
She really took the time to get to know us and put out all sort of fires without making my Groom and I stressed at all.
A bonus is her fee was reasonable and we really felt she went above and beyond for us every day up until our wedding and even after still finishing all all vendor payments. She even personally steamed all my bridesmaids gowns, dresses and my wedding dress on the day to ensure everything was perfect.
She is amazing and i really do feel the fee is worth the support and help you get from her."

"Danica.
Just such a HUGE thank you from us! From needle and thread to the slices of cheese cake, all the organization, prompts and reminders (keeping us in line! 🤣).
Just a BIG ENORMOUS thank you."

"My husband and I will never stop being so thankful for Danica and all her hard work, which made our day the best day of our lives.
As a South African living abroad, I was initially riddled with anxiety and stress over planning our special day and not being present in the country, but then we found Danica, and every bit of stress was taken away from us. She was with us every step of the way and always reassuring us.
Even on the day of the wedding, I had always heard that the bride would be stressed but I never felt any moment of that thanks to Danica.
We loved every moment of it and I will forever be grateful and cannot recommend a company enough.
Thank you Danica/Signify Collective Planning for making our dream come true, you are truly a shining star xxxx"

"As two busy professionals also pursuing our studies, we knew we needed help to plan our wedding without compromising on our vision. Choosing a wedding planner was one of the best decisions we made and working with Danica exceeded all our expectations.Despite being told by others that hiring a planner might be unnecessary, Danica proved just how invaluable her expertise is.
She has planned weddings for such a diverse range of couples that she instinctively knew the right questions to ask to personalise our day. She was able to anticipate potential challenges we wouldn’t have even thought of and this gave us real peace of mind throughout the planning process.
Once she understood our vision, we felt completely confident in entrusting her with everything. She offered practical and creative ways to bring our dream wedding to life without breaking the bank. Her network of trustworthy suppliers made the experience seamless, and we had zero issues with any of them.
We honestly had a drama-free wedding or at least, if there was any drama, we didn’t know about it, because Danica handled it all behind the scenes with grace and professionalism.
She was always prompt in keeping us updated, and her communication made us feel included and reassured.
This wasn’t just someone planning a wedding , it was a true partnership. We matched Danica’s energy and passion, and together created a day that our guests still talk about. She has set the standard for what a well-planned wedding should be.If you’re on the fence about getting a wedding planner, do yourself a favour and hire Danica. She’ll take care of the details so you can fully enjoy your day."

Danica was such a saving grace during our wedding planning journey, from handling quotes to vendor meetings she really did it all!
I can't recommend her enough!"
meagan & travis
"Danica was an amazing wedding planner!
She kept us organized and on track throughout the whole wedding planning process. She was able to help answer all my questions, and was very prompt to respond to emails. We would have been lost without her trying to plan our wedding from abroad. She recommended alot of her preferred vendors which made the decision making process easier knowing she had good experiences with them.
All the vendors we ended up choosing exceeded our expectations. Having her there the day of the wedding put my mind at ease, I didn’t have to worry about any of the small details I got to relax and enjoy the day.
The best decision I made planning this wedding was having Danica by our side!"
Jaimie & Gerhard
"The best of the best.
My husband and I were navigating living in two different countries while having incredibly demanding jobs and trying to plan a wedding. Luckily, we found Danica and for over a year worked with her to plan our dream wedding day and the day turned out more perfect than we could have ever imagined.
She’s incredibly on top of things- she listened to our vision and style, made suggestions and helped with getting the right people to make our ‘dream team’.
On the wedding day she also remained incredibly prepared and on top of EVERYTHING including things that you would never have thought of.
She’s a dream to work with and we’re incredibly grateful for her."
TIISETSO & JEF
"We are endlessly grateful to Danica for making our wedding everything we ever dreamed of and more.
She was absolutely incredible—so thorough, detailed, and attentive to every little thing. Because of her, the entire weekend was seamless and truly magical. Our guests could not stop complimenting us on how beautiful and well-organized everything was, and it was all thanks to her hard work and dedication.
She went above and beyond in every way, and we cannot recommend her enough.
If you’re looking for someone who will care about your day as much as you do, Danica (Signify) is the one. She is phenomenal, and we feel so lucky to have had her by our side!"

"Words cannot express how thankful I am to Danica for helping me plan my dream wedding and making it a reality.
She was there for the big ticket items from recommending vendors and co-ordinating with them to the little stuff like sowing my bow back onto my shoe. This dream wedding would not have been possible without you.
My husband and I will forever be grateful for all your help every step of the way.
KERRY & BRENDON
"BEST wedding planning out there!
We are SO grateful to Danica for her hand in making our dream wedding come through. She is so experienced and professional. We were also kept in the loop throughout the whole process. Danica made the whole wedding planning experience stress-free. Even on the day of the wedding she quietly handled any issues that arose and made every effort to make our day perfect.
I can’t thank you enough."
NATASHA & TAPIWA
"Danica is honestly the best wedding planner and coordinator ever! 💍✨
We first met her back in 2024 when she planned my sister’s wedding, and after seeing what an incredible job she did, we knew we had to have her for ours.
From finding our perfect venue to keeping us on track with every detail, Danica was truly our best friend through the entire wedding journey. The only things I ever had to stress about were my dress and my husband’s suit—everything else was in her capable hands.
She’s the person you can take any idea to—she’ll tell you honestly if it’s worth it, help you refine it, and somehow always manage to get you the best quotes in the business! 💫
Our day was seamless, beautiful, and perfectly organized. Even when little things didn’t go according to plan, I didn’t worry for a second because I knew Danica already had Plan B (and C!) in place. She kept us updated every step of the way and made sure we could actually enjoy our wedding day stress-free.
Thank you, Danica, for everything you did from start to finish. Our wedding was truly spectacular because of you—and we love you for it! 🥂💐"
BABALWA & KHOLWANI
"Danica made our wedding at Monate Game Lodge seamless and stress-free. She handled every detail with care, creativity, and calm professionalism, allowing us to just enjoy the day.

REBECCA & MISHECK
"Danica was an absolute gift to us during our wedding journey. From the very first conversation, she made us feel supported, heard, and completely at ease. Her patience, kindness, and organisation made the entire planning process feel so much less overwhelming, and she always kept us up-to-date so we never felt out of the loop.
On our wedding day, Danica was truly incredible. Everything flowed so smoothly, and we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment knowing she had everything under control. The care she put into every detail and the genuine love she has for what she does truly showed.
Our wedding day was more beautiful than we ever imagined, and we honestly couldn’t have done it without Danica. We are so grateful for her and will always appreciate the role she played in making our day so special."
"My husband and I honestly cannot recommend Danica highly enough - 5 stars don’t seem adequate! There aren’t words to truly express how great was throughout our planning process. She was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish, and truly worth her weight in gold. Hiring her was without a doubt the best decision we made for our wedding.
She had a clear, well-structured wedding planning timeline and checked in consistently, guiding us through every step along the way. Despite all the attention to detail (there is honestly nothing she does not think of!) we never felt overwhelmed. The entire planning process felt calm, supported, and genuinely enjoyable. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, we felt like we hardly had anything left to do, as everything was perfectly sorted.
Additionally, every single wedding vendor she recommended was perfect. We didn’t have to waste time trying to source quotes and compare different vendors. It felt like she had curated the ideal team just for us.Danica provided such practical advice and thoughtful, reasonable opinions throughout the process, and nothing was ever too small or insignificant for her to help with.
On the wedding day itself, she was simply incredible. Everything ran flawlessly, and we honestly felt like guests at our own wedding, and not that we were responsible for any of the behind the scenes things that needed to happen. We were able to relax and fully enjoy our wedding weekend because it was all so seamlessly taken care of. Somehow, Danica was everywhere at once, yet completely unobtrusive and never in the way.
Her professionalism, attention to detail, and quiet magic behind the scenes made our wedding more perfect than we could have imagined. If you’re considering a wedding planner, choosing Danica will be one of the best decisions you make."
