About us

TWENTY YEARS, ONE TEAM

Coco&Marigold styles corporate functions, weddings and private celebrations across South Africa - for clients including Nedbank, Standard Bank, SA Homeloans and many more.

From the first mood board to the last chair loaded back onto the truck, it's the same small team. We plan it, style it, deliver it, build it and pack it down.

THE PEOPLE WHO PLAN It, BUILD IT

Your event doesn't get handed to a subcontractor on the day. Kyra takes the brief. Mickey arranges the flowers. Geza builds the setup. Vincent gets it there. Thands makes sure every last vase arrives without a mark on it.

Small team. 
Exceptional detail.
Nothing lost between the plan and the day.

The people who'll actually be at your event

Kyra Brassel, owner and creative director

Kyra

Owner & Creative Mastermind

 The brain, heart and driving force behind every event. Kyra is with you from the very first meeting to the final chair being placed. She's your main point of contact, your mood-board magician, quote wrangler and last-minute miracle worker.
Every client is cherished, and you'll always be greeted with a big smile and open arms.

Thanda, operator and perfectionist

THANDS

Packaging & Organising Queen

The undisputed master of vases, candles, ornaments and the plan. Thands is the reason our events glimmer and shine - with a lappie always at her side and not a single mark getting past her watchful eye.
Strong-willed, deeply loving, and proudly the big sister of the group, she keeps everything flawless and everyone in line (with love).

Helen, bookeeper and accountant

HELEN

Admin Genius

Keeper of the books, the slips, and our sanity. Helen keeps everything perfectly in check while fuelled by coffee and top-tier humour. Deeply caring and always reminding us to "be good." She's the heart behind the emails and the final friendly touch our beautiful clients receive when invoices go out. Misplace slips at your own risk... she will know!

Gezza, handyman and setup wizard

Event Setup & MacGyver-in-Residence

If it needs building, fixing, lifting, draping or saving at the last minute: Geza is already on it. Equal parts mastermind and floral talent, he's our calm voice of reason. Always showing up with wisdom, kindness and a solution we didn't even know was possible.

Vincent, transport and logistics

Fun-loving, hilarious and endlessly kind, he's the father of out team who never clocks out. He's always finding new ways to upgrade our cars, trailers and everything in between.

Mickey, florist

Mickey

Florist & Floral Wizard

Hilarious, big-hearted and incapable of doing anything halfway. Mickey pours his entire soul into every stem. He doesn't just make arrangements, he creates full-blown floral artistry & makes everyone laugh whilst doing it.
