December 2016 was the first time we had planned a wedding at Cavalli, and we hope to co-ordinate a wedding there again soon! With its many facilities and expansive setting, Cavalli is a venue that should be experienced. Located in the prestigious Helderberg region of Stellenbosch, Cavalli is a true testament to its location with its focus on wine, cuisine, design, architecture, indigenous landscaping and art.

Driving through its indigenous gardens you are lead to both the restaurant and wedding venue.

With its all modern, minimalist design and interior, guests get to enjoy the contemporary aesthetic of the estate while being wowed by the surrounding gardens, wildlife and views.

Having planned weddings in both the Main Function Venue and the Restaurant, the two venues are suited to both intimate and large parties.
 

The Sunken Garden

A wedding favourite, the Sunken Garden goes hand-in-hand with the clean-cut design of the venue. This formal area is used mainly for ceremonies and the amphitheatre of surrounding hedges creates a quiet, sheltered place for couples to say their I-Do’s.

Main Function Venue

The function venue is characterised by its contemporary and neutral design, which is flexible and offers the perfect backdrop for any style of wedding. The open-plan design creates a single, spacious and vibrant space. The floor-to-ceiling glass doors flood the venue with natural light, emphasising the panoramic views, and making it that much easier to enjoy the outdoors. This allows for the space to be transformed in any way you visualise it.

Restaurant

With its copper fittings and clad bar structure, the restaurant is a trendy space. Seating up to 100 guests this venue is perfect for more intimate wedding parties. The glass doors and outside areas allow guests to spill outdoors and enjoy the dramatic views and sunset over the valley.
