Years ago, my best friend was running a successful Wedding Planning Business when she found herself in need of staff and asked me at the last minute for help. I said yes! Cliché or not, I fell in love with that amazing Wedding Planner backstage world and every single step involved. I became an integral part of her team until I moved to Sydney. Since the experience, I’ve never lost the passion for supporting others plan, celebrate and craft their Big Day into the unforgettable moment they deserve

I wish we could give Kadija and The Happiness Ring more than 5 stars. We are so glad that we found Kadija and selected her as our wedding planner. Before we found The Happiness Ring, we were very overwhelmed by the entire wedding planning process process. Kadija was incredibly approachable, put us at ease and gave us a sense of calm and order. She was very responsive and attentive, and handled everything with professionalism and warmth. We felt so supported every step of the way. We were kept on track in a way that felt stress-free and manageable, teamed with great vendors and stayed within budget. On the wedding day itself, Kadija and her team were amazing. They truly thought of everything and kept it all running smoothly - even when wet weather changed our ceremony location at the last minute. They went above and beyond to help us enjoy our day and make sure we didn't have to worry about a thing. Our sincere thanks to Kadija and The Happiness Ring!!

We booked Kadija as our wedding planner and to do on the day co-ordination. From the very start of the process, we were in good hands - she was very helpful, supportive and responsive (even though we live overseas, the turnaround time to our questions was always within 1 day). Overall, our wedding day was so lovely and stress-free, all thanks to Kadija! We cannot thank you enough, Richard and I loved working with you!

Kadija organized my wedding, and everything was simply perfect! We can’t thank Kadja and the team at The Happiness Ring enough for their incredible care, attention, and professionalism. From the very first contact, she was exceptionally organized, warm, and incredibly responsive in providing us with information and answers, not to mention her punctuality, which gave us peace of mind throughout every stage of the planning process. She recommended excellent vendors, was extremely patient with our choices and decisions, and managed everything flawlessly. Her communication was always clear, and she kept us updated every step of the way. On the big day, everything went off without a hitch. Every detail was impeccable, and we were able to enjoy the celebration without a single worry. Kadija was by my side the entire time, attentive to my comfort and well-being, making sure I truly enjoyed every moment of the day. She also showed genuine care for our guests and family, which made all the difference. In fact, many of our guests complimented not only the party but also the warm and welcoming atmosphere. For all of this, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude and give my highest recommendation. Kadja and her team gave us an unforgettable experience, and I can confidently say hiring her was the best decision I made in bringing my dream wedding to life.

Creating a joyful, seamless experience for everyone is always my goal, and I’m so touched to know it resonated.
