About Us

Hi, I'm Sandra Dodds, the owner and founder of Rubijoy Events. I am South African and have lived in France for twenty years. Mother Earth is my best friend, and I love cooking, walking in nature and interior decoration.
With a history in product development, marketing, wine export and fashion accessories, I have always had a love for design, décor and working towards and vision.
When I was planning my own wedding in 2015, I wanted mismatched crockery and vintage decorations, but couldn't find anything for hire in this area. So a year before my wedding, I began visiting vintage shops and vide greniers (similar to car boot sales, and literally meaning "to empty the attic"), and lovingly collected, washed, up-cycled and coordinated the items I'd purchased into the perfect look for our wedding day. I also loved the planning aspect, and (crazily in retrospect) planned and executed almost every detail of our wedding myself.
I soon realised that I had found my passion, and have since established a career that allows me share my experience in event planning and decorating in the Occitanie Region of France, where I am based.

PLANET PASSION
I love Mother Earth and long for her to be healthy again. By making environmentally friendly choices wherever possible, and working with brilliant, dynamic, professional, Earth-conscious suppliers and venues, I hope to make a difference (even if only small) in our world.

MY COMMITMENT TO YOU
I love what I do and choose gratitude, mindfulness and joy in my life. To me, mindset is as important as the practicalities of wedding planning. I aim to offer a calm and professional service that engenders peace of mind, throughout the planning process, and on your wedding day itself.
