From
mid November until
January, Fynbos was abuzz with weddings, parties and year-end
functions. The weather was pretty much perfect throughout, the
starlit night skies were fantastic, and fairly lights, laughter and
delicious food were in abundance.
1st
December : Kathryn and Andrew
This wedding sparkled with elegance. After a beautiful ceremony in the chapel, the reception was held in a pavilion decorated with glass candelabras, white glistening sky twigs and black and white patterned runners. Alice Swan, the photographer, captured both a sense of summer lightness and the elegance of the wedding.

George and Louise ( parents of the bride)
A marvellous wedding in every possible way
5th December: Rentia and Stefan
These two had a civil wedding in Germany, followed by a 4 day party weekend at Fynbos. In the midst of this was a church ceremony led by the bride’s fathers in his Philadelphia church, and a reception in the Pavilion. The decor was romantic and old world. The 4 days gave the German and South African families time to get to know each other. Tracey Derrick was the official photographer www.traceyderrick.co.za.

Thank you once again for a lovely wedding. The food was excellent and the setting absolutely beautiful. It was so special that the whole family could spend time in your house and enjoy the beautiful environment. Thank you for everything you did to contribute to a special weekend for all of us!

22nd
December: Lauren and Andy
Andy and Lauren both teach in Malaysia, but are originally from South Africa. Their warmth and openness was reflected in their happy relaxed wedding. Everything seemed to happen effortlessly in an informal sort of way, and the dinner decor was maroon and lime green with apples and edible grass for table features. Very striking and different.
The official photographer was Charmaine Spangenberg

29th
December: Terri and Marco
This was the last wedding of December, and also very relaxed, informal and happy. From Friday onwards, the farm was filled with guests playing games and swimming, picnicking and collective flower arranging. The ceremony was held in the Chapel, and the reception décor had a simple and rustic feel .

PARTIES
23rd
November : Alex Davis
November party
season kicked off with the 70 guest 21st
party of Alex Davis. They
dined on canapés, fillet and berry pavlova and drank fine wine and
Pimms - and other things besides, They then danced through the
night, and those not awake to greet the sunrise, stayed over in the
house or camped dormitory style in the barn. Much fun was had by all.

The
function was most enjoyable and will be remembered for years to come.
The meal was great, the service good and the ambiance superb!
We
had great feedback from our guests and would definitely recommend
Fynbos to our friends.
Fynbos
is a special place.

December: HERO
CSIR
Early in December the HERO Company returned to Fynbos for their second themed party. This time it was CSIR US style, so after a day lazing about in and around the pool, the 45 strong group began their transformation into an odd assortment of bizarre characters. There were a number of murder victims, a grieving widow or two, plenty odd ball detectives (including one from Florida and a pair from rural S.A.) There were scary pathologists snapping gloves at one, and a few forensic photographers, one of whom took the teams pics as if in police line up.

Thank you again for a fantastic year end party.
The spit was amazing
