Based in Angola, Andrea & Feuder
approached the Event Affairs Team
on the subject of their wedding
over a year ago. And so the wedding
planning began - little did we know
that we would bond so much with
such an incredible couple. This
fun-filled journey turned out to
be sweetly sentimental as on the
wedding day, it felt like we were
witnessing our close friends getting
married!
Cape Point Vineyards was the
second venue shown to the couple
and they instantly fell in love with
the beautiful views of Noordhoek
beach and the natural beauty of
the venue. They wanted an organic
and country-like styled wedding
and the venue, from the stone built
bar to the wooden patio, lent itself
to this entirely.
The theme of the wedding was
brought through all the elements on
offer from the self-service Cachaça
Cocktail station (a traditional
Brazilian drink Andrea brought in
to honour her Brazilian heritage)
right through to a beautiful naked
wedding cake. The cake topper was
a caricature of the couple custommade in Brazil - an actual “mini
me” version of the couple and even
included Andrea’s camera (as she
is a photographer at heart), and
Feuder’s bicycle that he is rarely
seen without.
The whole experience of planning
this wedding was not only very
special because of the bond we
made with the couple, but it was
also insightful to the rich Angolan
culture. From flying in an Angolan
DJ who kept the guests ‘ jiving’ to
Latino style music to the tradition
of an abundant food buffet for the
guests to enjoy. We also setup a
“sweet treats” table with Angolan
delights, as this is said to bless
the bridal couple with a sweet
marriage.

There is a big emphasis on the
cutting of the cake which is
ceremoniously done straight after
dinner. We served the guests
French Champagne which they
toasted the couple with while
they shared their first piece of
cake together. When it came to
the garter and bouquet throwing,
the garter, instead of being tossed
to the single bachelors at the
wedding, is customarily bid for by
these bachelors, and the winner of
the bid danced with the lovely lady
who caught the bouquet.
The guests danced the night away
and enjoyed the buffet all night
long, before departing in shuttles
back to their hotels. A job well done
by our amazing wedding team!
