What kind of ceremony are we having?
Our wedding will take place on 29 December 2024 at The Lakeside Wedding Venue. The ceremony will be held at The Glass Chapel, followed by canapés on the deck, and the evening will continue with the reception at The White Marble Reception.
We will be having a traditional Catholic wedding ceremony.
Semi-Formal
We kindly request our guests to wear pastel or muted colours to complement the soft and romantic atmosphere of the day. Your presence is the most important thing, but we’d love for you to join us in creating a beautiful, harmonious look for the occasion.
When and where is the wedding?
Plus one on request to bridal pair.
What time should I arrive?
While we love all the little ones, due to space limitations, we can only accommodate the children of close family and friends. We hope you understand and look forward to celebrating with you!
Please arrive at least 30 minutes before the ceremony begins so you have time to be seated. While you wait, we have a special performance planned that we’re very excited about, which we hope you'll enjoy!
What if I have a question that isn’t answered here?
Parking is available at The Lakeside Wedding Venue and signs will direct you to the designated area.
Yes, you’re welcome to take photos during the ceremony! However, we kindly ask that you turn off your flash, silence your phones, and remain seated while taking pictures. We have professional photographers and videographers who need to move around freely to capture the special moments.
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
If you’re unable to attend, we’ll miss you! Please RSVP as soon as possible so we can plan accordingly.
What should I do if I can’t attend?
After the ceremony, there will be a short cocktail hour for guests to enjoy while we take photos. The reception will follow shortly afterward.

No drinks or alcohol can be brought on to the property. Should a guest be caught drinking external alcohol from a car boot, sneaky handbag, or similar, a fine of R2000 will apply.
Can I bring my own alcohol?
Absolutely! We’ve got an amazing DJ lined up, and we hope everyone will join us on the dance floor to celebrate.
Will there be dancing at the reception?
We’ll be offering a delicious plated three-course dinner, and closer to the date, guests will have the opportunity to select their meal options.
What kind of food will be served at the reception?
Since the ceremony follows Catholic tradition, you can expect moments of standing, sitting, and kneeling. However, if you're unfamiliar or prefer not to participate in these customs, feel free to remain seated. At the reception, there may also be a few cultural surprises!
