Important Information
We recognise you are all making such a huge effort to travel around the world, and we hope you can make the most of your time in South Africa!
With that in mind, we thought we would share our itinerary for the days leading up to the wedding, in case you wanted to join us for drinks/dinners/activities before the main event. Please do not feel obligated to come along if you have travel plans…it’s really is just to share a central point on each of the days if people would like to get together…

Hotels in Cape Town:
Bryan and I have stayed at the Marly and we loved it! A great location in Camp's Bay with a wonderful rooftop pool and bar area - www.themarly.co.za/
Air BnB is also a great option for those staying in Central Cape Town or along the Atlantic Seaboard. There are some amazing villas you can book.
If you want sunsets and beach views, then any spot along the seaboard is best: Llandudno, Camps Bay, Clifton, Sea Point
