Gifts

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for, and we are truly grateful to celebrate this special day with you.

As we’ve been fortunate to build a home and life together already, we won’t be having a traditional gift registry. However, should you wish to honour us with a gift, a contribution towards our honeymoon or future home projects would be warmly appreciated.

Q & A's

When is the RSVP due?

Please let us know by 31 July 2025 so we can finalize all the details with our venue and caterers.

What time should we arrive?

Guests are kindly asked to arrive by 15:30 — the ceremony will begin promptly at 16:00.

 Where is the venue located?

The wedding will take place at Venue Nouveau.
Address: 19/351 Plot, Zwavelpoort, East, Zwavelpoort St, Pretoria, 0084
For easy directions, you can click on the Directions section of this website or use the following Google Maps link. This will lead you directly to the venue for your convenience.

Where should we stay?

We’ve selected a few nearby accommodation options for your convenience, including KammaFrans Guesthouse, which is located directly on the venue grounds. For full details and booking links, please refer to the Accommodation section of this website.

Is there parking at the venue?

Yes, there is ample on-site parking available at the venue for all guests.

Will transportation be provided?

Transport will not be provided to or from the venue, so please plan your travel accordingly. If you’re staying at nearby accommodation, consider coordinating rides with other guests.

Can I bring a plus one?

We truly wish we could celebrate with everyone, but due to venue capacity, our guest list is by invitation only. If your invitation specifies a plus one, then we’d love to welcome them! If you’re unsure whether you’ve been invited with a plus one, please feel free to check with us in advance — we’ll be happy to clarify. Thank you for understanding.

Are children invited?

While we adore your little ones, this will be an adults-only celebration. We hope this advance notice allows you to plan for a relaxing evening out.

 

What is the dress code?

Semi-formal.

Please keep in mind that the ceremony will take place outdoors (weather permitting) on a beautiful, natural terrain, so we recommend dressing comfortably for the elements — block heels or wedges are ideal for this type of setting.

 

What kind of food will be served?

In addition to delicious canapés, there will be a buffet with a variety of options to suit every taste — we’re making sure no one goes hungry! 

Will there be a bar?

Yes — there will be a fully stocked cash bar, along with a funky gin station for those embracing a more liquid-forward celebration. Both card and cash payments are accepted.
Please note: bringing your own beverages is strictly prohibited. All drinks must be purchased through the venue’s on-site facilities.

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

We kindly ask that you refrain from taking photos during the ceremony so that everyone can be fully present in the moment. Our photographer will capture everything beautifully, and we’ll be happy to share the memories afterwards.

What about gifts?

Your presence is the greatest gift we could ask for, but if you would like to contribute to our future together, a monetary gift would be greatly appreciated. These contributions will go towards our honeymoon or home improvements — whichever we prioritize first! For those wishing to make a donation, you can transfer your gift via EFT to the banking details provided on the Gifts page.

What happens if it rains?

We’ve got a plan! If the weather doesn’t play along, the ceremony will be moved indoors at the same venue — same time, same love-filled vows.

Will the ceremony and reception be at the same location?

Yes, the entire celebration — from “I do” to dance floor — will take place at the same venue. No need to travel between locations.

What time will the party end?

The party will wind down at around midnight. We hope to share an unforgettable evening with you all!
