Ethel Siwela
Ethal Lesedi Events & Décor is making its mark in Mpumalanga’s events industry by delivering creative, personalised experiences for every occasion.
Founded and led by young entrepreneur Siwele from Bushbuckridge, the company has grown into a trusted name for event planning and coordination since its establishment in 2018.
The business was born out of Siwele’s own wedding planning journey. Without the help of a professional planner but guided by a clear vision, she successfully organised her special day.
Along the way, she discovered a passion for event coordination, which inspired her to launch Lesedi Events & Décor. What started as a personal project has since developed into a steadily growing enterprise.
Lesedi Events & Décor offers comprehensive services, assisting clients from the early planning stages through to the final execution. The company caters to a wide range of events, including weddings, birthday parties, funerals, corporate functions, and traditional ceremonies. Its ability to adapt to different types of events has made it a versatile player in the local industry.
A defining feature of the business is its commitment to building strong relationships with clients. Rather than simply providing a service, the team walks the entire journey with clients, offering guidance, consistent communication, and support to reduce the stress often associated with event planning. This hands-on approach has helped build trust, with many clients forming lasting connections with the team.
Understanding each client’s vision is also central to the company’s success. The team takes time to engage with clients in detail and, where necessary, creates sketches or demo setups to ensure expectations are clearly understood and met.
Among its standout moments was the “Open Heavens” event, where a well-known gospel artist celebrated her birthday while giving back to her supporters. Lesedi Events & Décor played a key role by supplying a large number of chairs, marking an important milestone for the business. The company also recently handled a traditional wedding for a popular TikTok personality, gaining social media attention and further strengthening its reputation.
Keeping up with industry trends, the company incorporates elements such as creative draping, floral and natural décor, bold colour palettes, and eco-friendly setups. At the same time, it remains mindful of different budgets, helping clients prioritise key elements while maintaining quality.
Siwele emphasises that attention to detail is crucial in delivering successful events. Her dedication continues to drive the company forward as it grows its footprint across Mpumalanga.
