How we met
From the moment Natalie got engaged at Christmas 2018, her dream was a wedding at Swan Lake, inspired by a friend’s photos. But the language barrier made it seem impossible. Until Tania, the bride from those photos, offered her Portuguese expertise. Together, they planned Natalie and Scott’s perfect day at Fountain Lane, earning glowing feedback like, “It felt like a celebrity wedding!” Inspired by the response and their shared passion, Veil & Véu was born to make destination weddings a reality for others.
Business values
Our personal experience of both being brides ourselves at Swan Lake and Fountain Lane allows us to have a thorough understanding of everything in making a dream a reality.
We use our love for wedding planning, combined with the fantastic relationships we have built with the venues, and suppliers to create the most memorable multiple day weddings.
‘‘Within six months of being introduced to one another by a mutual friend, we became business partners and life long friends.’’
