In the dynamic world of wedding planning, few names resonate as distinctly as I Do Box. Founded in the picturesque city of Cape Town in 2013, I Do Box stands as a beacon of creativity, dedication, and bespoke event crafting. At its core is a passionate wedding planner whose love for celebration and design transforms ordinary moments into lifelong memories. We sit down with the mastermind behind I Do Box to uncover the inspiration and philosophy driving this unique wedding planning venture.
“I was born in beautiful Cape Town. As part of a big family who loved to celebrate, I was raised with a passion for marking special occasions,” shares Keelyn Crowley. This innate love for festivity led to the birth of I Do Box, a company dedicated to designing personalized wedding experiences that showcase the beauty of both love and locale.
For I Do Box, no two weddings are the same. Each event is a fresh canvas, reflecting the unique love story of the couple. “We are all about creating your signature wedding, where no 2 weddings are the same, and bringing in personal touches to make each wedding unique to the couple,” the planner explains. This philosophy not only sets I Do Box apart but also ensures that every wedding is intimately tied to the personalities and dreams of the couples involved.
I Do Box offers comprehensive packages that cover all aspects of wedding planning—from styling and coordination to the final execution. “We offer a full-scale styling & coordination package where we see to all wedding needs from start to end,” states Keelyn Crowley. The flexibility to customize services ensures that each couple's vision is meticulously brought to life.
One of the most memorable weddings for the planner was notably their own. “My most memorable wedding was my own. We had family coming together from all over the world, and we celebrated in a small town that had special meaning to our family. It was unique. Our venue was a beautiful rose garden in the center of a quaint town and our guests walked from the church to the reception with local musicians leading the way into a beautiful start-lit evening,” reminisces the planner.
“What I love most about my job is that I get to be part of celebrating love stories by crafting breathtaking events and experiences. I love all things to do with creative design, floral, family, and celebrations. It’s so special to play an important role in the making of such a memorable moment for a couple in their life and love journey.”
At I Do Box, understanding and integrating the couple's style is paramount. “I always bring in as much of the couple's style and details into the planning,” they emphasize. This tailored approach ensures that every wedding not only meets but exceeds the couple's expectations.
When asked about advice for couples embarking on their wedding planning journey, Keelyn Crowley suggests, “Keep to your style and enjoy the process, choose service providers you trust and enjoy working with, and then trust the process and know you will get the result you had envisioned.”
Through I Do Box, Cape Town has seen the rise of a wedding planning visionary whose commitment to bespoke, heartfelt celebrations continues to inspire and enchant. From the scenic locales of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek to the intimate backdrops of Cape Town itself, I Do Box crafts weddings that are not just events, but emblematic celebrations of love and commitment.
