We came across Jolanda by simply Googling ‘Wedding´ + ‘Tarifa´ and, with no personal recommendation, we knew we might be taking a risk by asking her to manage one of the most important days of our lives.
However, having worked internationally in live events for many years we felt we would be able to get a fairly quick impression as to whether Jolanda was right for us.
From the first phone conversation I not only felt confident that Jolanda was the person for the job but also that we had a friend at our side.

A feeling which was confirmed when we first met in Tarifa a few weeks later. Jolanda was enthusiastic, helpful, very transparent and reliable and we felt safe in her hands.

The planning process was very collaborative and we felt well informed without being pushed in one direction or another. – the whole thing was quite stress-free and even enjoyable. Jolanda also took care of the hotel reservations for our guests and many of the commented on the ease of dealing with her and were impressed at the level of service (which came at no extra charge!)
When it came to the wedding week itself Jolanda took absolute care of everything with her usual energy and ensured that everything was faultless. We couldn´t have asked for a better few days and everything did indeed go to plan.

Our guests were equally enthusiastic with comments ranging from ‘wedding of the year´ to ‘best wedding ever!´.
The favourite compliment of all however came from a dear friend who was former editor of ‘Wedding Day´ magazine in the UK (and knows a thing or two about weddings!) who claimed with absolute sincerity that it was ‘Definitely in the Top 3 Ever list´.

It was definitely our favourite :) and we´re eternally grateful to Jolanda for everything she did for us!

Testimonial Victoria & Andrew

Trying to organise a wedding in Spain all the way from London when virtually all you can say in Spanish is 'two more beers please' was always going to be difficult, if not near on impossible. We spoke to a couple of wedding planners but it was either all too elaborate or far too chaotic.Trying to organise a wedding in Spain all the way from London when virtually all you can say in Spanish is 'two more beers please' was always going to be difficult, if not near on impossible. We spoke to a couple of wedding planners but it was either all too elaborate or far too chaotic.

NThen we met Jolanda and it became rapidly obvious that she was the person we needed to translate our vision into reality. What stands out in our mind is that nothing was too much trouble, no suggestion was greeted negatively. Jolanda's attitude was always 'we will find a way to do it'.

That meant from the moment we and our 100 guests arrived, everything went like clockwork from the family lunch to the drinks the night before to the blessing by the beach.

The Moroccan tents were stunning, the food was exquisite and we danced till dawn.

The key to a successful wedding is in the detail and the planning and nothing was left to chance which meant nothing went wrong or that when it did (like the police driving their landrover through the tent and across the dance floor the morning of the wedding, we didn't find out about it until everything was repaired and back in place).
The wedding was quite simply perfect and until the birth of our daughter a year later was the best day(s) of our lives.

Testimonial Liz & Andy

Deciding to get married in a foreign country whose language you don't speak ought to be difficult but with Jolanda to organise I think I was the least stressed bride on record.

There were no last minute panics and every eventuality had been thought about prior to the day so that whatever happened, there was an option.
Jolanda's local information is second to none and her eye for detail in the lead up to the big day ensures that the day itself is completely hassle free. She thinks of everything and is full of ideas on how to helpyour day become even more special and also to ensure that all your guests find suitable accommodation and understand what is happening and when.

Andy and I simply had the best day of our lives, in the perfect town in the perfect setting and it would not have been possible without Jolanda's help. We will definitely be buying her a beer or two on our return to Tarifa!

Testimonio Juan y Aida

"Tarifa-events hizo de nuestra boda un día inolvidable para nosotros y para todos los invitados. Queríamos algo especial a la vez que sencillo donde la buena comida y las vistas al mar fueran las principales protagonistas, al final lo fueron junto a nosotros, los novios, en la que fue, según familiares y amigos, la boda más bonita del año "

Testimonial Raymond & Jeanette

After 25 years of waiting I finally found the courage to ask the love of my life if she would marry me. Of course when waiting this long you want your wedding day to be even more special than it already is - and special it was. Thanks to Jolanda we had the best wedding anyone could ask for. The day itself as well as our holiday in Tarifa with the family was very well organised thanks to Jolanda's dedication and professionalism. I can recommended the services of Tarifa Events without any hestiations to anybody who is looking for a truely special and personal wedding ceremony.
