Frank & Isabel

Molenvliet – Stellenbosch

Isabel and Frank’s wedding was truly spectacular. Isabel works in the events industry and organised her own wedding. The details of their day were endless, and it was a privilege to help coordinate their wedding. I also assisted with set-up, set-down and the management of suppliers.

The celebration on Molenvliet started with cake and champagne on the lawn. We had some nail biting moments transporting the 12 cakes up the hill, but it created such fun on-the-day wedding coordination memories. Later the guests were ushered down to the reception area for the festivities to continue with live music, drinks and snacks from the charcuterie tables. The whole terrace was draped in white fabric and created a dreamy feeling – true bliss. The team from ASAP staffing and Jovan were incredible to work with. They served with such professionalism – I could ask for help at any time and there would be someone to lend a hand!

I do not even know where to start describing the detail of the ballroom’s décor. Grey tablecloths with glass candleholders in different sizes, beautiful white flowers with greens in between. Arches against the wall with lights that made the wall come to life. Fabric serviettes with a custom print, folded in a specific way, and placed delicately on the glass underplate.

Annelie and Amri presented the food beautifully on the plate. Each table was served in true royal style, with the waiters coming out, and placing all the plates in front of the guests at the table, at the same time – wow! For dessert, the guests could treat themselves with traditional soft serve and could choose from a variety of toppings. There was also a barista making some seriously good coffee.

The thing that touched me most during these three days was their serving hearted family and friends. Each person helped and went that extra mile to make Frank and Isabel’s day so special. It was an honour to work with these wonderful, loving people.
