Junebug: So, why South Africa? What makes it such a unique destination wedding location?

Kim: From small, intimate weddings with a few family members and friends, to full blown celebrations with hundreds of international guests, South Africa offers spectacular possibilities at unrivaled value. A value for money haven, in SA you’ll get away with paying 40-50% less for a similar wedding in US, lest we forget that the lovely weather and unsurpassed setting come free of charge south of the equator.

We also say that in South Africa summer never ends. Days are marked by an average of 12 hours of sunshine, moderate temperatures and, in the Western Cape, virtually no rain falls between September and April. The combination of the superb surroundings and fantastic weather allows for memorable outdoor ceremonies overlooking mountain ranges, vineyards or the ocean.

Cape Town specifically is synonymous with cutting edge design, décor and creativity. It has recently been voted the worlds design capital of 2014! Respected around the world for its gastronomic and culinary delicacies not to even mention its wines you can literally pick and choose your service providers from an array of acclaimed caterers, internationally awarded restaurants, funky musicians, polished hiring companies, and top notch, award-winning photographers to name a few.
