Preparations at Cavalli Estate
Nearby preparation options include Majeka House and Avontuur Estate. Choose rooms with good natural light and allow time for the short journey to Cavalli.
We can photograph both wedding parties getting ready before moving to the estate for the ceremony.
Ceremony at Cavalli Estate
The sunken garden offers a formal, beautifully structured setting, with hedges and an arch framing the ceremony. Lakeside arrangements open the view towards the water and Helderberg mountains.
The Conservatory provides an indoor ceremony option, making it useful to discuss both your preferred setting and a weather alternative with the estate.
Photo Session at Cavalli Estate
Cavalli gives us a particularly varied portrait route: reflections beside the dam, fynbos and mountain views, vineyard rows and the clean lines of the contemporary buildings. The road towards the estate also works well for bridal-party photographs with the Helderberg behind you.
The darker wine-tasting spaces offer a different mood for groom portraits, while the art and equestrian surroundings add character. Access to the gallery or horses should be arranged with the estate beforehand.

Reception at Cavalli Estate
The modern function venue overlooks the water and mountains through generous glass frontage. Its neutral finishes suit everything from understated candlelight to bold floral installations and statement lighting.
Choose your seating and dance-floor layout with the Cavalli team so guests can enjoy the views during dinner and move naturally into the evening celebration.
For photographs, it helps to plan a short portrait session around the best evening light. We can guide you through the estate’s different settings while keeping the day focused on your guests and celebration.
