CELEBRATING WOMEN IN WEDDINGS
Meet… Cindy
Founder and Wedding Planner
Tying Knots Weddings & Events
Cindy has a passion for people dressed in bridal attire and enjoys every element event planning entails.
How long have you been in the wedding industry?
12 Years
What inspired you to start?
I have always dreamed of being in eventing and weddings and back in 2014 took the leap of faith and left the corporate world to start up a wedding venue…Tying Knots was born a few years later servicing bridal couples specifically in the West Coast area.
Your proudest achievement?
Next to becoming a mom to my amazing little boy, having one of my weddings featured on Top Billing and another one winning the Wedding Crashers Viewers Choice Award!
The biggest lesson you’ve learned?
Every bump in the road is there to shake things up because we need to be shaken up every now and then! Don’t ever lose faith and always keep moving even when it all seems hopeless. Doors open for those who push them.
One piece of advice for women in business.
Don’t give up. Keep going. And when you feel you can’t do it anymore, step back and look at the situation differently…you will find your truth.
A fun fact about you that people don’t know.
I am originally from Durban but now consider myself a fully-fledged West Coaster!
What does Women’s Month mean to you?
Women wear so many hats on a daily basis. We all struggle. We all have our own “things”. The month of August is a month we celebrate those women showing up every day, rocking those hats!
