Day 3
 Wake at leisure on this your
WEDDING DAY!
If you have chosen a Beach Wedding, you will exchange
your vows in the morning when beach conditions are at
their best. For Kirstenbosch Gardens, Hotel or Church
weddings, you may exchange vows in either the morning or
the afternoon.
Table Mountain Weddings are weather dependant, as the
cable car does not run if there is wind – so a back up
venue is always required.
After enjoying a relaxing spa treatment, settle back and
enjoy every moment of this your Wedding Day without any
of the pressures of a formal wedding, as you marry in
spectacular surroundings under warm blue South African
skies and create memories of a lifetime!

venue in style. Afterwards toast your marriage with
champagne, followed by a romantic dinner to complete
your special day!
