What are you looking for?

The perfect spot to tie the knot

When it comes to the big day – the day that’s revered as one of the biggest and most important days of our lives – there’s a deluge of decisions to make, and a plethora of things to consider when ensuring your bride or your groom, your mother and her friends, your in-laws and their cousins, their cousins’ cousins, and you, experience a day to remember (perfect wedding venue). It’s never just about the simple act of saying “I do” to the person you’ve committed to saying “I do” to. It’s also about saying “thank you” to all of the people (and some of their cousins) who’ve witnessed, assisted, endured and perhaps even engineered the blossoming of your love, from its ripe little seedling, all the way through to its eagerly anticipated matrimonial fruition. And more often than not, that “thank you” is said in the most unashamedly ostentatious way. Because you can – it’s your big day. You want your guests to marvel at the popping colour scheme, salivate over the South Uist salmon petit fours, and quaff back the pretty pink bottles of bubbles. You want them to have as much fun celebrating you in your dress, as you do.

Inevitably, what begins as a humble and sincere sentiment of less is more, with a splash of laid-back loveliness, very quickly becomes the wedding of a century, like no other wedding has ever been done before. The finer details being of utmost importance. From the perfect positioning of the dance floor to the conscious curating of the table plan. The flowers to the flower girls, the romantic light features to the trustees that make the speeches. The carriage, the cake, the music, the dance. Lest we forget, the dress. It is without question, though, that it is the venue that ultimately binds the entire day together. It’s the view that remains forever imprinted in your guests’ memories and hallway frames, like your new initials that are embossed onto the place settings and the vows engraved into the rings. It’s the ambience of the space that brings the crowd together, for the cheers, the happy tears, the joy and the love overflowing. It is the venue that says the “thank you” that sincerely sings from your heart. Your vow to everyone, for all of the years prior and all of the years to come. For the memories of this day, to have and to hold, to love and to cherish, till death by too much dancing does occur.

 In celebration of your union and upcoming nuptials – whether the proposal has occurred yet or not – we’ve put together a list of some of our favourite hideaways where the setting screams, “a wedding is in order!”

 Here are our hideaways that have become the perfect wedding venue…

Romance doesn’t get better than in the bush at Pafuri Camp, where the wilderness seeps into every aspect of the nuptials, seducing all those spectating with the sun setting and the stars lighting up the night sky, as the speeches get drowned out by the lion’s call, and the traditional tribal dancing ensues.
