Destination Wedding at Molenvliet Estate | Delmarie & Alessandro
DELMARIE & ALESSANDRO
Delmarie and Alessandro travelled to the Cape Winelands for a destination wedding at Molenvliet Vineyards in Stellenbosch, combining South African scenery, an international guest list and a relaxed celebration on the estate.
Delmarie & Alessandro’s Destination Wedding at Molenvliet
Delmarie and Alessandro chose Molenvliet Vineyards in Stellenbosch for a destination wedding that brought together family and friends from different parts of the world. The estate’s mountain views, vineyards and architecture gave the day a distinctly Cape Winelands setting without requiring the couple or guests to travel between locations.
The ceremony took place on the rooftop lawn above the Mountain View suites, followed by drinks, portraits and the reception on the estate. One of the most unusual moments came after the ceremony, when guests were surprised with a close-up wildlife encounter that created a memorable South African experience for the international guests.
Molenvliet works particularly well for destination weddings because accommodation, ceremony areas, reception spaces and photography locations can all be combined on one property. That allows the timeline to stay relaxed while still giving the couple a wide range of backdrops for their photographs.
Wedding Photography at Molenvliet
All of Delmarie and Alessandro’s couple portraits were photographed on the estate. Molenvliet offers vineyards, mountain views, gardens, courtyards and clean architectural lines, giving a wedding gallery several different looks without leaving the venue.
The photographs from this wedding move between natural moments, family and guest interactions, and more considered couple portraits. For couples researching this venue, our Molenvliet wedding venue review looks at the estate in more detail from a wedding photography perspective.
