About Sheryl
Sunshine Coast wedding planner specialising in relaxed, intimate celebrations
I’m Sheryl van Heerden, a Sunshine Coast wedding planner specialising in intimate elopements and micro weddings.
For over 13 years, I’ve helped couples create wedding days that feel relaxed, meaningful and beautifully effortless. I’ve planned and styled hundreds of celebrations, and I’m known for making the process feel simple and calm, especially for couples planning from interstate or overseas.
These days, my focus is on smaller, more personal weddings. Private property stays, beachside ceremonies and intimate, all in one celebration. The kind of weddings where you can slow down, spend time with your people and actually enjoy the experience.
I’ve carefully put together a collection of beautiful locations, private spaces and trusted local vendors, so you don’t have to spend months researching or trying to piece it all together. I guide you through the process and take care of everything behind the scenes, so it feels easy from the beginning.
Just as importantly, your family and friends don’t have to lift a finger. No running around, no managing timelines, no pressure. Everyone gets to relax, be present and enjoy the day with you.
For couples planning something a little larger, I also offer full wedding planning and on the day coordination and styling at Sunshine Coast venues. Whether you’ve already booked your venue or need help finding the right one or require some beautiful styling, I bring the same calm and organised approach, so everything runs smoothly and looks beautiful.
If you value your time, want the planning to feel easy and want a wedding day that flows without stress, you’re in the right place. I take care of it all so you can focus on what really matters.

Fairy Godmother!
From the very first email, Sheryl felt like a blessing we didn’t even know we needed. She went above and beyond in every single detail, and her kindness, generosity, and calm reassurance made the entire process feel effortless. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and within days all of our vendors were in touch — suddenly, the planning was complete and we could just enjoy the excitement.
Our elopement turned out to be everything we had ever dreamed of, and it was all thanks to Sheryl. She truly made magic happen, and the incredible “A team” she surrounds herself with are just as wonderful.
We are forever grateful to Sheryl for giving us the gift of a day we will cherish for the rest of our lives. I honestly couldn’t imagine our special day any other way. 💛
Charlotte & Aaron
Sheryl is an absolute wonder of a woman! From our very first inquiry right through to the big day a mere six weeks later, her communication was fantastic — always clear, supportive, and on point. On the day itself, she kept everything running seamlessly and made sure we didn’t have to worry about a single thing — her crew had it all completely under control and the vibes were high. She even managed the near-impossible task of keeping the bride fed and watered! Sheryl pulled everything together beautifully and went above and beyond with each aspect of our wedding, recommending brilliant additional vendors like evening caterers and transport outside the standard package. Each and every one of her suggestions were stellar. We honestly cannot speak highly enough of our experience — Sheryl made it all feel effortless and we’re so grateful to have had her by our side.

On the day itself, everything ran like clockwork – we didn’t have to worry about a thing and could just enjoy every moment, knowing Sheryl had everything under control.
She truly went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for her support and kindness. If you’re looking for someone who will make your wedding feel effortless and unforgettable, Sheryl is the one.
Thank you for everything, Sheryl – you were amazing!
