5 Reasons To Get Married In Cape Town

Cape Town joins an elite group of world cities synonymous with romance, boasting fabulous weather, totally unique wedding locations and concepts that are unrivalled the world over. More and more, lovers from all over the planet are choosing Cape Town as their ideal wedding venue.
1. Become part of the great South African renaissance
Perhaps it’s the heady thrill of migrating to the darkest of continents for the big day or maybe it’s the urge to become part of the renaissance of South Africa that is so alluring, but to tie the knot in a city voted one of the best in the world is a draw card like no other.
2. Superior locations – beaches, mountains, gardens, waterfront apartments
There are literally countless locations for a wedding with a potent Cape Town flavour. If swapping vows barefoot on the beach is something you have dreamt of, then there is a sumptuous array of choices. Clifton, Camps Bay, Long Beach and Glen Beach are all perfect wedding venues for the biggest of days.
The floral majesty of Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens that lie in the shadow of Table Mountain is another popular choice for young brides and grooms. Literally thousands of carefully cultivated blooms augment and enhance the beauty and pageantry of the bridal party.
Head for the soaring heights of the summit itself – countless weddings take place on top of the iconic Table Mountain and, rest assured, the views themselves will keep the guests gasping in wonderment.
The trendy V&A Waterfront , with its luxury marina apartments, five star hotels and a wide selection of restaurants has also found favour with the more stylish couples .
It is, however, the Cape Winelands that is the preferred choice of many, and for good reason. The original estates with their sweeping lawns, changeling vineyards and wonderfully preserved examples of Cape Dutch architecture are indeed worthy venues for partners to make a lifelong commitment to each other at.
3. Blue skies beckon
Cape Town is blessed with a Mediterranean climate so the summer days are generally long, dry and hot, whilst the winters are misty and wild and should be spent in front of a roaring fire. Both complement the celebration of love and promise – the choice is yours to make.
4. Wedding feast extraordinaire
Acclaimed as a culinary Mecca, Cape Town and its surrounds have a number of world class caterers to choose from for the big day. Try some of the traditional fare like ‘waterblommetjie bredie’, ‘smoor vis’ or ‘bobotie’, or simply “go wild” and add a bit of exotic game meat to the menu like ostrich, crocodile or warthog.
5. Proximity to outstanding honeymoon destinations
The Mother City is also a hop, skip and a jump away from some of the most attractive and alluring honeymoon destinations. Head for well-appointed and strictly private honeymoon apartments at the V&A Waterfront or meander up the coast to the celebrated Garden Route, 5 hours away up the east coast, or simply enjoy the ultimate bush experience at one of the luxury bush lodges that abound.
