from all our wonderful couples

‘‘Dear Catherine,

Now that the dust has settled, we wanted to take a moment to reach out and express our deepest gratitude for everything you did to make our wedding day so unforgettable.

St Ives was the absolute dream setting for our celebration. The grounds and the venue looked breathtaking, and we genuinely could not imagine having celebrated our special day anywhere else. Our guests have not stopped raving about how stunning everything was!

More than anything, we want to thank you personally. From the very beginning of the planning stages right through to the final moments of our wedding, your professionalism, patience, and guidance were invaluable. You were always on your feet(figuratively speaking, of course! 😉😛) anticipating every detail, ready to jump in whenever needed, and offering the best advice to ensure everything went off without a hitch. Your calm, reassuring presence allowed us to truly relax and soak in every single moment of the day without worry.

Thank you for pouring so much care and effort into making our day as magical and seamless as it was. We are so incredibly thankful for you and the wonderful team at St Ives.

Wishing you all the very best,

Warmest regards,

Adita & Tharish’’

‘‘Hi Catherine,

I would like to add my thanks to those already expressed by Adita and Tharish. 

Your service was truly outstanding, and David and Nthombi were of the same exceptional standard. In fact, the entire St Ives team exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail, excellent timing in the canapé area, smooth dinner service, and continuous topping up throughout the evening all contributed to a fantastic guest experience.

It was clear that a great deal of care and professionalism went into every aspect of the event, and it was greatly appreciated by all of us. Please extend our gratitude to everyone involved. I would gladly recommend St Ives and be available as a reference if ever needed.

Warm regards,
Ravesh’’

I’d like to thank you and the St Ives team for providing such splendid service through our entire weekend, thank you for all your patience and kindness during our planning process, you made it seamless.

The hospitality and assistance on the weekend made our wedding weekend the most relaxed and spectacular memory that Kumaran and I will treasure for our lifetime.

Dear Catherine & St. Ives Team

Leon and i would just like to extend our thank you to you all at St. Ives. The wedding was fantastic, from the venue to the food to the accommodation. The Chapel is just beautiful.

Our rooms where divine thank you for accommodating us and our guests who booked, the king size bed is just luxurious 3 girls in one bed we slept like queens.

The staff where all so helpful and friendly, it was a joy organizing and having our wedding at St Ives, it really is a gem. It is a pity that Leon and i hardly got to eat but all our guests told us that the food was delicious and they all had a great time.

After the wedding a few of us headed down to the boma where we had a few drinks, pit we missed the joll down there, but i bumped into old friends which was lovely

.Leon and i will recommend St Ives to all our friends who are looking to tie the knot. As well as we will visit the little treasure when we are in the area for a meter long pizza, see we are married now i can get fat!

Love Skye & Leon,

that Dam water was lekker warm, not what i expected at all! Hope to see you soon
