Cape Town Weddings
Cape Town weddings are popular for very good reasons. First of all, Cape Town and its surrounds is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Table Mountain is probably one of the most recognisable land marks anywhere. Anywhere you are in Cape Town, you are surrounded by mountains and the sea, from the Atlantic on the one side to the Indian Ocean on the other, and the two oceans meet at Cape Point. Great weather and a favourable exchange rate make Cape Town a very popular venue for weddings, as well as the lack of legal red tape as far as the ceremony is concerned. There is no required length of stay and the paper work is uncomplicated compared to other destinations.
Cape Town is a laid-back city with a cosmopolitan vibe, great shopping opportunities, superb restaurants and great bars and clubs for your entertainment when the sun sets. It is the most popular city in Africa for tourists, so its tourist sites and attractions are world class. With a 2010 Soccer World Cup semi final on the cards for the city, roads are being improved, communication systems expanded, transport systems worked on and loads of extra building work happening from the new stadium being constructed to extra hotel rooms being added.
If you require a beach wedding venue, there are so many to choose from. The West Coast with laid-back venues situated right on the beach where you can have your ceremony on the sand, and feast on fresh fish and crayfish fresh out of the ocean, to beaches near Cape Point and beaches further up the East Coast on the Indian Ocean.
Besides great wedding venues in the city and the surrounds, the other popular venues very much in demand are in the winelands of the Cape. Many of the wine estates in Paarl, Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Wellington have gorgeous wedding venues attached to them, and many of them have an adjoining chapel for wedding ceremonies. It is advisable to book the venue of your choice about a year in advance, especially if you are planning your wedding for December or January.
The charming coastal village of Hermanus and the coastal towns of the Garden Route like Plettenberg Bay and Knysna offer further options for a beach wedding. Grootbos Nature Reserve and the big five reserves of Aquila and Garden Route Game Lodge also host stunning weddings for an alternative choice if you are looking for a Safari wedding venue.
