MEGAN & ASHER - THE VINEYARD HOTEL & SPA, CAPE TOWN

Location, Location, Location---The Vineyard Hotel and Spa in Claremont Cape Town has it all
(http://www.vineyard.co.za/). From its central location in the city, to their sweeping mountain vistas, and endless green, lush landscapes on offer in their protected gardens. A truely remarkable venue for a spectacular couple such as Megan and Asher. Jewish weddings are priceless to photograph - they are laden with traditions and unequalled festivities on the dancefloor make them 'party paradise'. 

Despite the reception being held indoors, the Vineyard's impressive mountainous views can be such a welcome relief from the South-Easter wind which is often blowing during wedding season.

Megan's stylish dress was from Robyn Roberts studio (http://www.robynroberts.co.za/home.html
and her hair by Eugune at Wim Coiffeur in Sea Point, (wimcoiffeur@yahoo.com). If you are looking for  a 'zen-like' and stylishly simple hair salons, then Eugene and Wim are the guys for you, while all the vintage charm of the decor was thanks to 'My Pretty Vintage' decor hire and floral design (http://www.myprettyvintage.com/). For an eclectic mix of music the band Guru are your guys (http://www.bands4africa.co.za/index.php/artist-listings/115-guru). Last but not least, if you are looking for a spectacular and romantic photographic sunset beach session, then look no further than Glen Beach---just be warned, if the South-Easter is in session, be prepared to literally be swept off your feet(www.safarinow.com/destinations/camps.../Beaches/Glen-Beach.aspx)

  3. Such a lovely set up! Arrangements done are out of the world. Came to know about many exterior event halls for rent from my colleague and thinking to hire one for my sister in law's big day. Will shortlist all the plans according to her choice so that she can finalize the best ones. Luncheon with drinks and cookies will all be ordered accordingly.
