Dear friends,

We are so grateful to have you here and even more grateful to have you as part of our journey.

After fourteen years of love, friendship, laughter and choosing each other every single day, we are beyond excited to celebrate this unforgettable chapter with the people who mean the most to us.

As many of you will be travelling to beautiful Cape Town to celebrate with us, we’ve created this website to share everything you’ll need for the weekend. We hope it makes planning your trip a little easier, and we can’t wait to welcome you and create memories together.

Thank you for being part of our story.

Before you fly

Guests travelling on Angolan and Portuguese passports currently do not require a visa for short visits to South Africa.

Entry requirements can change, so we recommend confirming the latest requirements with the relevant South African authorities before travelling.

The resort is roughly an hour and a quarter east of Cape Town International on the N1. We recommend arranging a car or transfer in advance. We will share more detail here once transport is confirmed.

March brings beautiful late-summer weather to the Cape. Expect warm days of around 27°C, followed by cooler evenings of around 15°C.

As the celebration continues after sunset, we recommend bringing a light jacket, wrap or shawl.

Kindly respond by 10 December 2026. Because so many guests are travelling internationally, an early reply helps us confirm numbers with the venue and lets you book flights while fares are lower.

We absolutely adore your little ones.

However, due to the intimate nature of our celebration and the limited capacity of the venue, our wedding will be adults-only.

We hope you understand and that this gives you the opportunity to enjoy a beautiful evening, relax, celebrate and dance the night away with us.

If you have a special circumstance you’d like to discuss, please reach out to us directly.

Garden Formal. We invite you to dress in elegant formal attire, perfect for a beautiful garden celebration. While we encourage sophisticated colours and timeless styles, we kindly ask guests to refrain from wearing white, ivory, off-white, cream or beige. As portions of the celebration will take place on grass, we recommend block heels, wedges or elegant flats for added comfort.

The ceremony begins at 14:00, so please arrive by 13:30 to be seated comfortably. Dinner and the reception follow from 18:00.

Accommodation is on the resort itself, cottages, log cabins, chalets and safari tents. It is limited and books up well in advance, so please reserve as early as you can. Every unit has a virtual walk-through if you would like to see it before booking.

We are currently finalising the transport arrangements for the wedding day and will share the details here once confirmed.

When completing your RSVP, please let us know whether you will require transportation to and from the wedding.

There is a field on the RSVP form. Please add anything we should know, including allergies, and we will pass it to the caterers.

Your invitation will name everyone we have reserved a seat for. If you are unsure, please ask us, we would rather you checked than wondered.

Both English and Portuguese, as our families are. This website is available in both, use the EN / PT switch at the top of the page.

Celebration confirmed

There are places we visit.

There are journeys we remember.

And then there are journeys that become part of who we are.

Ours has taken us through different cities, different seasons and more memories than we could ever count.

Now, it is taking us to Cape Town.

To the people we love.

To the place where we say I do.

And to the beginning of everything that comes next.

Thank you for travelling this far with us.

See you at the altar.
