Seasonality
When you marry
changes the price
Harvest runs from late January into March, and the farm is at its busiest and its prettiest at the same time. A Saturday in that window costs more because it is the one everybody wants.
A Thursday in June, with the fires lit in the cellar, costs the least and is — quietly — what we would book ourselves.
| Period | Fri & Sat | Sun – Thu |
|---|---|---|
| Oct – Mar | +20% | Listed price |
| Apr & Sep | Listed price | −10% |
| May – Aug | −10% | −20% |
A 30% deposit holds the date. The balance is due fourteen days before.
- Not included: catering, flowers, photography, music and cake — all booked directly with your suppliers, so you pay them their price and not ours.
- Corkage: none on estate wine. R95 a bottle on anything else, and we would rather you brought your grandfather’s port than not.
- Music stops at midnight outdoors and 01h00 in the Cellar. Dried petals and bubbles are welcome; confetti and rice are not.
Preferred suppliers
People who have
worked here before
You are not obliged to use any of them. They are simply the people who know where the plugs are, how long the walk from the chapel takes, and what the light does at five o’clock in March.
Photography
Marlize du Toit
Documentary, no posed group shots unless you ask. Has shot forty weddings here.
Florals & styling
Stoep & Stem
Cut from their own beds in Wellington. Fynbos in winter, garden roses in summer.
Catering
Kelder Kitchen
Our own kitchen, on the farm. Open fire, one menu a season, everything served family style.
Music & sound
Bergwind Audio
DJ, live band or both. They already know the Cellar’s acoustics and its curfew.
Planning
Anja Roux Events
Full planning or month-of coordination, for couples doing this from another country.
Cake
Suikerbos Patisserie
Paarl. Naked cakes, croquembouche, and a milk tart that has ended more than one argument.
Supplier names are invented for this demonstration site.

Come and walk it
Viewings are Tuesday to Thursday, 10h00 and 15h00. Bring whoever is paying and whoever is worrying.
