The Bride – 28 December 2007

Just a word of thanks for your effort to make the wedding a complete success. The effort and attention to detail to ensure that the day turned out a memorable one is much appreciated. My expectations of of how the whole day would be was greatly exceeded, mainly to your organisation and dedication to make the day a day to remember, not only by Marisa and Lodi, but everyone that attended the wedding. At no other wedding have I heard guests complimenting everything, from the venue, the setting, the ceremony, the cocktails and snacks, the catering and the staff dealing with everything in a professional yet friendly manner, the food, please send our thanks to Father and Son on an excellent and professional catering event, people from PE would definately approach them and yourselves if they have a need for a function. What was anticipated as a stressful time for us as parents of the bride turned out to be a joyous and thoroughly enjoyable event due to yourselves and the way everything was organised and handled. Once again, thank you for making it a perfect day!
Nick & Judie Hamman

I will highly recommend your venue, for weddings as well as corporate functions which I deal with frequently in the Wealth Management & Finance industry.

The food was spectacular (I have been receiving compliments from the guests since the wedding) and the Vegetarian & Vegan meals were really yummy (my "hippie" friends - as my Dad would say... were pleasantly surprised with the catering for their special requirements!)

Please give a SPECIAL thank you to Bronwyn & Paul for everything they did - you guy's literally MADE MY DAY :)
Thank you too for packing all the things away and keeping all the leftover favours, roses etc - you guys really are the BEST!
Thanks again so much for everything!”

absolutely amazing.
Nothing was too much for anyone there, the food was fantastic and so I can go on and on.
Thank you to all for such professional service.
The memories of your venue will go down for many
years to come. Thank you Lisa, you were hands on all the time.

The Groom -29 June 2007

“Having now returned from our honeymoon, Pieter and I would once again like to thank you and your team for hosting our wedding. We really appreciate all the trouble you went to and the effort you made to ensure that our special day was just that. From the heaters in the chapel, to the set-up of the reception venue, the clearing of tables afterwards and the friendly service from your waiters. The chocolates and champagne was also very sweet of you.
Our breakfast was fantastic and the presentation of both the breakfast and our meals the evening was really pretty (loved the little cream hearts in the soup). We got many compliments also regarding the soup and the chicken.
We would also like to thank the guy who vacuumed our car for us the next morning, because the best man and company went completely wild with the Styrofoam, which is still present in our car when the aircon is switched on.
Once again, thanks a million to everyone involved.
Laura and Pieter Vorster
The Bride & Groom – 16 June 2007

“Wow, what a wedding!!! We really want to thank you and your wonderful team for your part in making the wedding something so special and to cherish for many years to come. You will not believe the feedback we have had from friends and relatives with comments such as “best wedding ever attended”, “fairytale wedding”, “out of the movies”, etc. From the Service in the chapel, to the cocktails and snacks outside, on an absolutely superb PE evening, the wonderful music of the Cotillion Quartet, and then the Reception with an outstanding meal, and then on to a fantastic party till the early hours of the morning (my 88 year old mother was photographed dancing with my 3 sons at around 11 pm!)The Band even commented that the crowd was far livelier than at their average CT function!
All your staff was outstanding, with Lisa and yourself giving excellent advice over the past few months, which must have been fairly difficult, dealing with two families’ wants, sometimes conflicting. Bronwyn was an excellent hostess on the night, and was seen through the evening checking and re checking that everything was going according to plan. My sister and mother also commented on the lovely accommodation with an excellent breakfast the following morning.
Many thanks to you all once again, and hoping to see you in the not too distant future,”

With only 5 people we could certainly have felt quite lost in the place, but the table on the patio, over looking the garden was ideal, regardless of the intermittent rain. Though I had little involvement in the preparations, Lyzet has only praise for your professionalism and 'nothing is too much effort' attitude.This was a truly magical day for us, made even more special by the setting and the wonderful attention from you and your team.
