Celebration season comes to a close

Season 2016/2017 has drawn to a close. A huge thank you must be said to the staff who tirelessly work behind the scenes with a smile. 

 Lizzie, Trudi and Nicol who are always ready to jump in no matter what.

Our ladies in blue, Precious, Priscilla, Virginia and Tracy(who is desperately missed).

Craig and Max behind the bar and Charlie and Doubt who can explain the intricacies of wine making to a fault.

Zelda who runs the pavilion with military precision.

Lisa who is slowly mastering the art of quiche making.

And finally Gail, the glue that holds it all together.

Thank you to each and every one of you.

Summer celebrations at Fynbos


Summer was the time for marvelous celebrations at Fynbos. The smallest was 30 or so in De Perdestal and the largest was 170 in the Pavilion with huge tent over the pool. Feedback was great so the team is very happy.

           We are so happy that you were able to make our wedding possible.
         From the beautiful chuppah ceremony under the oak tree, to the blistering heat, 
         and then the relief from that perfectly placed pool.

First and foremost, Wendy and I would like to thank you all specially for having us celebrate Sharon and James wedding at what one can only describe as a magical place, Fynbos Estate. It is not only the estate itself , but by those who work it, love it, protect it, give it living character and is wonderful to see such passion.

The event is over , Sharon & James left on Sunday for their honeymoon but we all cannot stop talking about it, and we are amazed at how so many of our family and guests, simply loved it.

Gail, a very special thanks to you for the co-ordination/planning of the event, the weekend and day , and it is often not realised what goes in behind the scenes to create such a day. To you and your team , you made it wonderful and special for all of us, and the hard work , I trust rewarding. Oh , and the food was delicious!, even if my 23 minute speech was making you nervous. Remember I promised 41 minutes!

The weekend stay over from Friday to Sunday, just topped it all, especially for the family.

Johan and Gail, as owners and hosts, wow, your warmth towards your guests is amazing , from our family ice breaker (we met James parents that day) "wine tasting" on the Friday, followed by our braai to making no problem an issue, even to a little glue that I needed for my sandal that had a "blow-out".

MORE SUMMER WEDDINGS


Nicole and Joseph

We had about 3-4 months to plan our special day, we had already travelled overseas to meet Joseph's family and they all agreed to come to Cape Town for the ceremony. We had planned a semi traditional wedding but knew it would probably be a lot different to the many weddings we had witnessed.

Luckily for us, close friends of ours had gotten married at Fynbos Estate a few months before us so we already had a venue in mind, we did enough research regarding other venues but at the end we had just fallen in love with Fynbos Estate and all its beauty.

My flower arrangements and bouquet were a combination of Fynbos and other fresh flowers and it worked so well with our surroundings that we really didn't need to have much decor at all, the garden was filled with beautiful trees and flowers from one corner to another, we were really fortunate to have found such a special place.

We had agreed on a short 30 minute ceremony, which was so much more than what we had expected. I can’t say that I remember every second of the day, there was just too much excitement and happiness and for us, that was exactly what we were looking for on our wedding day.

The evening was filled with fine wine and great food, speeches from friends and family, dancing, tears of joy and so many smiles.

We look forward to many more outings to Fynbos Estate and all the amazing people we had met that put all their love and energy into making it what it is today.
Fynbos Estate really has our hearts.

"It was about love, laughter and sharing a special moment of life with everyone important to Adam and Laura. Surrounded by the most beautiful backdrop of the Dragon ridge mountain range, family and friends joined to celebrate love." 
Everyone has just been raving about what a special day it really was. I wish I could relive it all again
Thank you so much for everything, you hosted the most amazing wedding for us

I hope your season has been fantastic so far and we really hope to come and stay for a 
night in winter :)

We cannot thank you enough for making our wedding the most spectacular event of my life. Fabian and I had a fantastic time and everything went off smoothly, much thanks to the help of Gail and her team.

We felt extremely blessed to start our union in such a sacred space and we will definitely never forget this for the rest of our lives.

Thank you, thank you, and thank you once again.

Other than that, I still cannot thank you enough for making everything so easy, so effortless and beautiful.

You guys are an amazing group of people and we hope to visit sometime soon.

Love, 

Lynn and Fabian
