Reception and Ceremony Venues 

After when will we have our wedding, the next biggest question is where will we have our wedding? First it begins with the ceremony, church, garden or beach? The decision to have a religious wedding or not will be based on your beliefs as a couple and whether you would like to raise your children and live your lives according to a particular faith. Alternatively, you may have always dreamed of saying your wedding vowels in your favourite garden or by the calm waves of the sea. Whatever your decision, there is always a venue that will grant your wedding day wish.

It is often a desire to choose a slightly different location than the more traditional venues to 'tie the knot'.

Head out to the Hills

A winery is a fantastic location for a wedding. It gives all your guests a few days our of the city who will then be treated to fabulous food and wine. Your wedding will feature a backdrop of stunning rolling hills and images of your favourite vineyard.

Out to Sea

A cruise is a memorable venue with a difference. You wedding can still be as small or large as you like, it will all depend on which vessel you choose to take your party out to sea.

Weekend Celebration

You don't necessarily have to cram your wedding celebration into one day, you may like to hold your wedding over a weekend filled with small celebrations.

For example:

     Saturday Morning - Champagne Brunch at a local cafe (be sure to check whether the 

     cafe can accommodate the number of your guests). Toast to the happy couple and the

     opportunity for speeches.

     Saturday Afternoon/Evening - Cocktails and canapés at a casual venue by the

     water with the sounds of jazz playing in the background. You can spend your last single

     night with the loved ones who will be there to see you both take the plunge.

     Sunday Afternoon - Your guests await your arrival at a near by beach where the 

     ceremony will take place. Choose a reception venue within walking distance from the

     ceremony and have your guests escort

     you along the beach to the reception.

     After a light meal, cut the cake and then

     kick off the dancing with your first dance

     as husband and wife. Invite your guests

     to the dance floor to dance the rest of

     the night away.
