Behind every unique event is a dreamer who dares to make it real. At Zuzu Collective, that visionary is Zoe-a curator of moments who has always been drawn to the intersection of beauty and meaning.

Why Zuzu

The reason I got into this business isn’t what you might expect. I was frustrated by how weddings and events were done - safe, uninspired, and cookie-cutter. Your wedding should reflect you, your story, your soul, and the love you’re celebrating. It should make your guests feel something real, not just look pretty on Instagram.

I started Zuzu to go against the grain, to help people create celebrations that are deeply personal, authentic, and unforgettable. It’s about uncovering what sets your heart on fire and translating that into every detail of your day - from the way the space feels to the emotions it evokes.

Being an event planner takes organization, leadership, and a sharp eye for detail (yes, I measure every napkin, every glass, every candle). Growing up immersed in fantasy worlds - Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Narnia - I learned to imagine experiences that transport you somewhere extraordinary. That’s what I aim to create at Zuzu: celebrations that feel immersive, magical, and entirely yours.

A passion for the extraordinary
