Led by the esteemed Willie Viljoen, one of South Africa’s most revered registered Marriage Officers and Commissioner of Oaths, we specialize in crafting personalized wedding ceremonies that resonate with warmth and emotion.

The process:
1 Willie meets at least twice with the couple prior to the wedding:
The first consultation via virtual, or in person if you are available in Cape Town, to explain the legal process and documentation as required by the Department of Home Affairs and Immigration, and to discuss various options for your ceremony.
A final consultation with the couple a few days before the wedding in person, to finalise the details of your ceremony and confirmation of the legal compliance of the documentation for your marriage.
2 Registration of your marriage with the South African Department of Home Affairs and Immigration.
Let us help you create a ceremony filled with love, joy and unforgettable moments that you and your guests will cherish forever.
Your beautiful beginning starts here!
