Anything you are unsure about
Questions
If it is not here, message us — we would rather answer twice than have you guess.
On the day
What time should I actually arrive?
Arrive from 14h00. The ceremony starts at 15h00, which gives you an hour to park, find a drink and greet everyone. Please don’t arrive after 14h45 — the ceremony starts on time.
Is the ceremony indoors or outdoors?
Outdoors.
Is there parking, and is it safe?
Yes — parking is on the property.
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
We’d love you to be present with us rather than behind a screen, so we ask for phones away during the ceremony itself. After that, photograph everything.
Food & drink
Are there vegetarian, halaal or allergy-friendly options?
Yes. Tell us on the RSVP form and the caterer will accommodate it — that’s exactly why we ask.
Is it a cash bar or an open bar?
Cash bar only.
Can we bring our own wine?
No — a cash bar will be available for drinks.
Getting there & staying over
Which airport should I fly into?
Cape Town (CPT) if you want the scenic 4–4.5 hour coastal drive, or George (GRJ) if you’d rather land 30 minutes away. You can connect via Johannesburg, but Cape Town is easier. Full travel notes.
Where should I stay?
Garden Route Ilita Lodge is closest and was recommended by the venue. There’s plenty more in Tergniet and Great Brak River on LekkeSlaap and Booking.com. See the options.
What's the weather like in March?
Late summer on the Garden Route: warm days around 24–27 °C, cooler evenings, and a sea breeze after sunset. Bring a layer for the evening.
Everything else
Can I bring my children?
The ceremony is adults-only, but there’s a supervised play area just behind it and parents are welcome to stay nearby. More about the arrangements.
Can I bring a plus one?
Your invitation says whether it includes one. When you RSVP you can add the people coming with you by name, including children under 12. If anything looks wrong, just tell us.
What's the dress code?
Coastal formal — see the detail.
What about gifts?
We prefer a monetary contribution as we'll be flying back to the Netherlands, there are details on the gifts page.
When must I RSVP by?
1 December 2026. One reply covers your whole household — whoever gets to it first can answer for everyone. Respond here.
