The original Plett venue journal also includes Bramon Wine Estate, Forest Hall Estate, Kurland, Grand Africa Lookout Beach, The Rose Pavilion Bosky Dell, Skyvilla Boutique Hotel and Fairview House. Treat those as leads to investigate directly, rather than a guarantee of their current wedding services.
Questions to take to a venue visit
- Where would the ceremony and reception happen in good and poor weather?
- How do guests move between the spaces, including anyone who needs easier access?
- What accommodation, supplier and timing arrangements apply?
- Where can photographs happen, and are permissions or additional costs involved?
