My daughter recently asked our family if we could allow Kathryn to convert all of our photo’s to digital – Thank you Kathryn for the respect which you showed our lifelong memories, for the care that you took in undertaking this project and for the joy that you have brought to us as a family!
Chris Dorrington, Somerset West
I received an elegantly wrapped wedding gift by Gifting with Gratitude that I didn’t want to unwrap because it was so beautiful.
The gifts inside were delicious and unique.
I can highly recommend Kathryn for all your gifting needs
Claudia S, Hout Bay
I recently engaged Kathryn to attend to two unrelated tasks; one to do with my pets and the other to sort through and select various printed photographs. Kathryn conducted herself with the utmost professionalism. I received a presentation detailing my requirements and how she would meet those needs. She fulfilled every expectation and more. I will without a doubt utilise her services in the future.
Jolene Harris, Camps Bay
After the excitement of a 40th, your 41st birthday feels like a real non-event, so I invited a few friends, okay 25 friends, to lunch at a new outdoor spot. I asked Kathryn to help me make it a bit special by planning and decorating a simple lunch table for me. I was so pleased with the outcome, the simple and classy decor really added that special touch and highlighted the beautiful surroundings and the nougat treat was the cherry on top! I would highly recommend Kathryn to anyone looking for assistance with a big or small task or project, she is so easy to work with and she just ‘gets it!’
Leanne Dorrington, Somerset West
Kathryn organised an Amazing Race in Tulbagh for my birthday. It was phenomenal. Even though she is based in Cape Town, she had no problem arranging everything from a distance, and she left no stone unturned. She made sure every detail of the event ran perfectly and my friends and I still talk about how well everything was organised and what a great time we had. I will not hesitate to use Kathryn to organise more parties and events going forward.
Guy Bubb, Cape Town
I asked Kathryn to assist me with typing up minutes from a board meeting I’d attended weeks before. My notes were cryptic, in my terrible handwriting and I gave her very slim instructions/ guidelines. She came back incredibly quickly with excellent minutes, professionally typed up and had even found the relevant logo and included it in the header. Details like that impress me hugely!
I cannot recommend Kathryn highly enough. Friendly, intuitive, speedy and efficient. What more could you ask for!?!
Lauren Scott-Rodger

Kat, I just want to thank you very much for helping me sell my pre-loved homeware.
You really went to a lot of trouble in getting it out there, from taking pictures, to listing all the items to advertising them and finding a buyer.
I really appreciate all the hard work you put in.

Kathryn created an absolute Barbie dream for my birthday murder mystery. I was blown away by her attention to detail and the passion she brings to each and every aspect of the event planning process. She created an evening which simply wowed all my friends (and myself!) and took away the stress and chaos of planning/managing an event. Thank you so much Kathryn, I will definitely be using your services again in the future
Sydney, Cape Town
We used Kathryn to organize our team building event and couldn’t be happier with her services. The event was an amazing race and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Her attention to detail is on another level and no request was too small. She exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely recommend and use her services again.
Leila Wright, Century City
Kat was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I had a quote within the hour and she completely understood what I needed. Communication was always quick. The delivery was perfect and my present looked amazing and exactly what I wanted.
Highly highly recommend her and can’t wait to use her again.

Kathryn’s service was exceptional from start to finish. She listened to our ideas, gave expert input, and ensured our vision was realistic and achievable. She provided quotes, responded promptly, and offered helpful tips throughout the planning. On the day, she arrived early, worked her magic, and transformed our garden into a party wonderland with creativity, humor, and passion. Hiring her for setup was the best decision—highly recommended!
