Meet Rebecca Glen
Creative Director & Founder
With over a decade of experience and a background in events, hospitality, and design, I created The Wedding Fairy to be more than a planning service — it’s a space where vision, emotion, and innovation collide.
With a deep understanding of wedding trends, and a reputation for dedication, creativity, and heart, I’ve become one of Cape Town’s most sought-after wedding planners. I believe your wedding should feel like a true reflection of who you are — intentional, stylish, and unforgettable.
