More about Vivian
Who is Vivian?
Contagiously enthusiastic, pleasantly disturbed, 41 years young, real people person, mom of Nola (aug 2020), girlfriend of Pascal (yes believe it or not but this wedding planner is not married yet), living on the the beautiful Veluwe.
In the picture you see me on the right. And next to me is my sister Anouk (left), one of the best assistants ever. In March 2010 I founded het Bruidsmeisje
My approach is always personal, honest, cheerful and enthusiastic with great commitment. Just like real bridesmaids (het Bruidsmeisje is Dutch for the bridesmaid)! I enjoy life to the fullest. No day, just like no wedding of ours, is the same. And that feels wonderful!
With my masters degree in Psychology as a background, I know how important it is to really be yourself and to make choices based on feeling. I also want to get that out of you as a bridal couple! Your wishes, ideas, expectations, dreams, characters and thoughts are the most important for me. So that it really becomes your unique and personal dream day!
I enjoy small beautiful moments, nice tea drinks (chai latte & fresh mint tea with honey) and high tea with my friends, my naughty red cat Bobby, the sweetest man on earth named Pascal whom I also call my love, the radiant sun, relaxing in the sauna, shopping of dresses, being creative, making walks on the heath or in the forest, making long journeys (Thailand, Bali, South Africa, Philippines, Caribbean, Argentina, Mexico, Cuba, Israel, Morocco, Oman), many weekend trips (Paris, Vienna, Florence, Barcelona, London, Berlin, Lisbon etc etc) and discover other cultures, a smile from my bridal couples, delicious long Burgundian dining and much more! On the 3rd of August 2020 our most beautiful gift has born, our daughter Nola Marie!

A sociable girl from Brabant who lives in the Randstad, about the same age as Vivian (;-)), endless energy, mom of Hero, Milou & Fender, married to Shaf for over 14 years and just as sweet a people person. On the picture you see me on the left.
My approach is just like Vivian’s, always personal, enthusiastic, honest, with great empathy and eye for detail. I love to hear your ideas and bring them to life together with you. Really making a difference, being of added value and making precious memories for life with the sweetest people around you, makes me intensely happy.
With my rich work experience in the hospitality and business events industry, I know better than anyone else what hospitality and a high level of service means and how important it is to connect the proverbial dot on the i.
