"Nestled within the breathtaking Lourensford Estate in Somerset West, Laurent is an unparalleled setting. For my husband, Henry and I, this spot has such a special place in our heart. It is not merely where we exchanged our vows but also where our love story unfolded. This was the place where Henry asked me to be his girlfriend under the Lourensford trees and the same location where we got engaged, marking a full circle moment.

Reflecting on our wedding day, it felt as though we had stepped into a fairytale. Situated at the foot of the Helderberg mountains, the venue boasts panoramic views of the polo field and vineyards where most of our couple portraits were taken. The majestic tree-lined lane leading to the venue and the picturesque surroundings provided an enchanting backdrop for capturing these timeless moments. Our ceremony was nature's own adornment, with butterflies fluttering around during the day and a rainbow gracing the sky afterward, it truly felt like we were in heaven! During the reception, we had the most amazing time. The staff were extremely friendly and professional while the culinary delights and hospitality service ensured an unforgettable night.

We couldn't have asked for a more spectacular location to celebrate our love story."
