Welcome drinks
If you'd like to come a day early, we'd love to see you for welcome drinks at the Elgin Railway Market. Nothing formal, just a casual early evening to arrive, settle in, and raise a glass.

Welcome
Worth the wait
This one's been years in the making. We're finally making it official, and we want the people we love with us for it. A weekend in Elgin. Come celebrate with us.
The location
Rockhaven Farm in Elgin
Tucked into the Elgin Valley, just 50 minutes from Cape Town International, the farm sits among orchards and mountains. A short trip from the city, worlds away in feel.

What to know
Dress
Saturday is summer formal, with colour encouraged. Think vibrant, elegant and celebratory, with ladies in long dresses and gentlemen in formal attire. The valley can turn cool after dark, so bring a layer.
The farm
Ceremony, dinner and dancing all happen on the farm. You won't need to move between venues.
Getting there
From Cape Town, it's about 50 minutes into the Elgin Valley.
Gifts
We don't have a registry. If you would like to contribute to our honeymoon in Mexico, we'll share details closer to the day.
Children
Regrettably, this is an adults only celebration.
Questions
Anything we haven't covered, let us know. We're happy to help.
