It is no surprise that Cape Town has become an increasingly popular wedding destination with many couples from abroad starting their new life together with the beautiful Cape as their backdrop. From luxury hotels to seaside settings and the spectacular vistas of the Stellenbosch and Franschhoek winelands, Cape Town offers a selection of destinations and venues to make any brides dream come true.
Some points to remember when planning a wedding:
- Always set your budget at the beginning so that you know how much you want to spend on your special day and can try and stick to this as far as possible. It will avoid nasty surprises later on!
- Try and use established wedding venues as they know what they are doing and you can benefit from their experience and contacts
- Cape Town has a huge variety of venues, something to suit every style so don't be afraid to look around to find your perfect venue
- If you are unsure what you want to serve at your wedding, ask for a menu tasting to help you make up your mind
- Plan your wedding time around your venue and what will work best for the photographs. For example with a beach wedding, it is best to have a last afternoon ceremony as you can gain spectacular photographs with the sun slowly setting in the background
- Don't be afraid to ask for help - albeit from an experienced company who deals with weddings, or just from your family and friends. Everyone is here to make sure you have a super special day
- Most importantly, don't bring to much stress down on yourself and HAVE FUN!
