FOR THE VENDORS

We love working together! 

in 2021, Google directed 21,280 search hits relating to “WEDDINGS” as keywords to the Royal Elephant Hotel website. Furthermore, we have daily wedding requests (of all sizes, from 6pax to 300pax) for dates as far ahead as the end of 2023.

There is an overabundance of bridal couples in the Gauteng region that want to get married and we would like to show them how beautiful their wedding could be. 

Over the course of the year we are planning a number of Styled Shoots to show off the venue, show off the skill and style of the participating service providers and give all participants marketing material as well as marketing reach through shared networks.

We would like to invite any service provider to join us on these shoots and benefit from the combined marketing opportunity.

Costs:

We only ask each of the service providers to contribute R200 to pay our models for their time.
(we split the pool with the models of the day)

THERE ARE NO FURTHER FEES PAYABLE

Every Service provider will, however, be responsible for the cost and products they want to promote during the shoot. The Photographer on the day will ensure that there is a fair amount of images (10-15 images) available for each service provider to promote their specific service or product. 

We will select 20-25 images to promote a page created in the “Wedding Inspirations” section of the website (with links to all participating providers)

Providers:

Each shoot will require at least the following providers:

  • Photographer
  • Wedding Dress (Designer or Rental)
  • Make-up
  • Hair Stylist

Other providers for the day may include:

  • Men’s Suits/Shoes
  • Jewelry 
  • Stationery
  • Flowers (Bridal party)
  • Flowers (Table)
  • Table Decorations
  • Cakes

(we will be able to do one or two table setups to show ideas and work, but typically not full venues)

How do I Join?

Please send an email with your details and links to media@royalelephant.co.za and the shooting date you are interested in.
