Wedding Planning in Harare, Zimbabwe
A wedding day that unfolds gently. Whether you would like us involved from the very beginning or simply present to run the day, our role is the same: to hold the detail so that you can be with the people you love.
We begin with a conversation about the day you have in mind — the people, the setting, the pace of it — and only then talk about budgets, suppliers and timelines.
From there you receive a written plan: a costed budget, a supplier schedule and a timeline you can actually follow. In the final weeks we confirm every supplier, build the run sheet and take over the correspondence.
On the day, we are on site from set-up to breakdown. You should not need to answer a single question about deliveries or timings.

Simba & Nyasha Elisha
Planned and coordinated by Caronai founder Tanaka before Caronai Events was formally established. This Harare wedding featured a suspended floral installation, white dance floor, black-tie bridal party and a reception coordinated from setup to the final dance.
This event forms part of our founder's professional experience and was completed before Caronai Events was established in August 2026. It is not presented as a Caronai Events company project.

The details, on the day
This seating chart was designed, printed and installed by Caronai Events for a Harare wedding in August 2026 — one of the printed pieces we produce for the weddings we coordinate.

Stationery that carries the day
Every wedding we coordinate includes the printed details that guests actually use — seating charts, welcome boards, table numbers and menus, designed around your theme and produced before the day. This chart seated sixteen tables at a Harare reception we planned and coordinated in August 2026.

Frequently asked questions
- How much does a wedding planner cost in Harare?
- Caronai Events charges from US$750 for full planning (A–Z), US$500 for partial planning and US$250 for event-day coordination. These rates cover up to 150 guests; larger events add a guest-count fee per extra 50 guests up to 500, and events over 500 guests are custom quoted.
- Do you plan lobola/roora ceremonies as well as white weddings?
- Yes. We plan roora ceremonies with the same care as the wedding day, including family liaison, protocol, seating, traditional catering and photography, and we can manage both events as one programme.
- Can you help us find a wedding venue in Harare?
- Yes. We source venues to suit your guest count, budget and style, arrange site visits and handle the contracting and payment schedules on your behalf.
- Do you manage destination weddings?
- We manage weddings in Victoria Falls, Kariba, Nyanga and further afield, including accommodation blocking, transfers, itineraries and multi-day programmes.
- What is the difference between full and partial wedding planning?
- Full planning covers everything from concept and budget to supplier management and the wedding day. Partial planning picks up an event you have already started, and event-day coordination covers the final handover and the day itself.
