Here is the first batch of pics and
comments from this last season’s weddings - most of which were weekend
weddings. Some official photographer photos and some in-house ones, and wonderful
heartfelt feedback which makes the team very happy.
TIM
AND CHANTEL
We
look back on our big day with an automatic smile, tears of joy and a jumping
heart. And Fynbos Estate and all its lovely people has a very big part in it.
When
we started planning our wedding from Amsterdam, Tim being Dutch, we knew from
the start we wanted to have our wedding in the Western Cape. I grew up in
Piketberg and we not only wanted to surround ourselves with this on our
wedding, but we wanted to share the breath taking surroundings of the Swartland
with all our loved ones, especially those coming from abroad. And yes, they
were completely blown away.
The
weekend of the wedding was way more than we hoped for. We couldn't have asked
for better assistance from you and your team in helping us with the
arrangements of the wedding. We thought it was going to be a challenge
arranging it from abroad, but the Fynbos team made it a breeze. You were op top
of everything and even reminded of things we would have forgotten about completely.
We
had a very specific look, feel and atmosphere in mind for our wedding weekend
and Fynbos gave us exactly that. We are both very down to earth, relaxed and
happy-go-lucky and that is how our friends and family knows us. Fynbos gave us
the opportunity to represent that perfectly. It is a wonderful intimate
and amazingly beautiful venue. The atmosphere was so relaxed and peaceful and
homey. And with the pretty surroundings, animals and old cape Dutch house, we didn’t
have to do much with decorations. Not to mention the unending spots for amazing
photographs. The photographer, along with us didn’t know where to start and
where to stop.
Our
families, which are all very close, could spend the weekend together in the big
farmhouse, which would also be where I would get read, as well exit from for
the ceremony. And wow, was that small little spot under the tree, with the
birds singing not just magical for a wedding celebration?!!?
The
pre-drinks in the garden was like a garden party on its own, and no one had the
feeling that they were waiting for a reception. The intimacy of the venue just
made it feel like one big celebration, moving from one end to the other end.
We
cannot stop looking at the photographs, without going...wow and after 2 months,
our loved ones are still talking about it. Perfection.
Thank
you ever so much not only for your help and warmth, but for preserving such a
beautiful place.

This weekend wedding began on Friday night with
a wine tasting in De Perdestal and flowed into a wedding event the following
day.

"Our
wedding at Fynbos was everything we'd dreamt of and more - which is a pretty
good outcome considering we'd never even been to the venue when we booked it!
You see it's the sort of place, run by the sort of people that make you feel
like you know it before you've even visited it or met them. Gail was tremendous
in helping us plan our day and managing our expectations, and the rest of the
staff received many compliments from our guests on how helpful and friendly
they were. The most memorable moment for me was during my husband's (eeek!)
speech at dusk, hearing the crickets in the background and my nephews playing
on the lawn - it made me realise that Fynbos truly is a unique place where
families can share life's precious moments together, and we're so incredibly
grateful we got to celebrate one of ours there."
Thanks
again and much love to all at Fynbos - humans, dogs, donkeys, cats, ducks,
sheep and everything else!

AND TERRENCE
We
absolutely loved our wedding at Fynbos Estate. The venue was perfect for the
relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere we were looking for. Things ran perfectly
on the day thanks to the amazing coordinator Gail who was an absolute godsend
on the day and the weeks leading up to the wedding. The food and wine were
excellent and we loved having our whole family stay on the farm, in beautiful
accommodation, for the weekend of the wedding.

Stuart and I first fell in love with
Fynbos Estate when we attended a friend’s wedding about two years before we
walked down the aisle. The venue was everything we wanted, beautiful, inviting
and everyone we dealt with was equally as lovely.
If we could, we would marry over and
over again - just to have this beauty and just to see our friends fall in love
with the venue and our wedding.
I am so glad that when I am 80, my
memories marrying the love of my life will include Fynbos Estate.
