Stellenbosch Wedding
MolenVliet
Here is a wedding setup that is not done all that often at Molenvliet – A wedding reception in the courtyard that lies right next to the main venue. We loved it! Having a variety of reception options like this is just another reason why this Stellenbosch Wedding Venue is still rated one of the top wedding venues in South Africa!
After proposing to Annie while on safari at Madikwe Hills in South Africa, Nick and Annie couldn’t think of a more perfect setting for their wedding than South Africa. And MolenVliet Wine & Guest Estate ticked all the boxes. For them, it would be the perfect setting to unite their Vietnamese and South African families as well as their friends from all across the globe.
Annie and Nick were full of praise for an awesome wedding day:
The wedding affair was a dream, an absolutely unforgettable experience! It is no wonder that MolenVliet is rated as one of the top destination wedding venues in the world. Lize-Mari van Zyl of MolenVliet and W Collaboration did such an amazing job with the coordination. She ensured that every last detail was perfect as all of the wedding planning was done from the United States.

Outdoor Wedding Ceremony in Stellenbosch
The wedding day revolved around their love of good food, fine wine, and live music. There were elements of South African and Vietnamese culture sprinkled throughout. Annie and her bridesmaids did their preparations at the Residence. This is the main property of the Estate which is situated on a hill overlooking the vineyards below. Her dress, a gorgeous strapless Reem Acra gown with lace and embroidery detailing over a nude underlay. Nick got dressed in his black Hugo Boss tuxedo with the boys at the River Manor.
The outdoor wedding ceremony was conducted on the lush lawns of the Residence. From there the Ikamva Marimba band ushered guests along the lovely winding path down the vineyards. There they were surprised with a “Street Festival” where canapés and drinks were served while further entertained by the marimba band.
While guests had a ball at the “Street Festival” we took Annie and Nick for their couple photo session on the Estate. Molenvliet has so much to offer in terms of photo opportunities all year round!
Come the reception, Annie, her bridesmaids, and the ladies in her family changed into traditional Vietnamese “ao dai.” The Sound Image band played musical favourites on guitar, sax, and violin. Meanwhile, everyone enjoyed the scrumptious cuisine and wine. Once dinner was over, the dance floor opened indoors as the live cover band Me & Mr Brown took over and everybody danced and partied the night away!
