Pause May 2021 | Introducing our Team



“Those who pass by us, do not go alone, and do not leave us alone; they leave a bit of themselves, and take a little of us.”
– Antoine de Saint-Exupéry


We know it sounds corny, but there really is no I in Team. This curated experience is only possible because we have incredible suppliers and people holding our hands. The following service providers made Pause May 2021 possible, we are beyond grateful to each and every one of you.

We would also like to do a massive shoutout to Cara and Sheila for being the most amazeballs flower fairies one can ever ask for. We appreciate you efforts more than you would ever know!

We just love our team!

Zorgvliet Wine Estate

Zorgvliet Wine Estate is an amazing venue just outside Stellenbosch. They have a restaurant, an amazing picnic area, beautiful wine tasting area, wedding venue and accommodation on the farm. Oh we missed VIEWS for days! Christine and her was absolutely amazing and they treated us and our students with so much care and respect. Nothing was too big or too small to ask. The food was sooooo good so abundant. We really felt the love with each bite. Visit them at www.zorgvliet.com .

Debbie Lourens

Debbie Lourens is seriously one special photographer and we were lucky enough to have her with us for 3 whole days! Her approach is totally unique, we just cant get enough of her! She captured moments and emotions we will truly carry with us forever. She also made sure that each student gets portfolio shots of their creations and we just love to see how proud they are when showcasing their work on social media.

N Concepts & Designs

Nico and his amazeballs team really transformed our blank canvas in the curated space our students enjoyed attending our workshop. Anything is possible with them in your corner and we are beyond grateful to have them on our team.

Baie Goeters

Baie Goeters is no stranger to those in the wedding and event industry. From unique and out the box lighting solutions to beautiful furniture and structures. We used their beautiful mustard serviettes and it is easy to see why we opted for them for 2 out of the 3 lunch tables. We just love the look of them! Visit them at https://baiegoeters.co.za .

Iza Cloete Make Up Artist is not only a super talented make up artist but she is also Anli’s sister!

Kay-Lee Steyl

Kay-Lee Steyl is any creative’s dream when you send out a casting call! When Kay-Lee showed interest in Pause May 2021 , we could not say yes quick enough. In front (and off) of the camera she is an absolute professional , needing no guidance at all. Thank you for being so amazing Kay-Lee! Visit her at www.instagram.com/kaysteyl/ .
