Michaela and Ryan wedding

On the 28th of February 2025, this splendid couple got married.

When love crosses oceans, it deserves a celebration to match — and that’s exactly what Michaela and Ryan gave their guests this February with a breathtaking three-day wedding celebration in Cape Town. Flying in from the UK, the couple gathered their closest friends and family for an unforgettable destination wedding at Hawksmoor Manor in Stellenbosch.

Day One: The Welcome Braai

The festivities started with a relaxed South African tradition — a pre-wedding braai. As the Cape sun began to dip behind Table Mountain, guests sipped local wines and gathered around the fire, enjoying grilled delights and reconnecting. It was the perfect way to settle into the warm, welcoming rhythm of the week.

Day Two: The Wedding Day

On the second day, it was the wedding day! Michaela walked down the aisle in a truly special gown — her mother’s vintage wedding dress, lovingly restored and glowing with sentiment and style. It was a touching nod to family history and a beautiful symbol of new beginnings. The wedding was filled with fun, laughter, and love.

The ceremony was in front of the barn, which was a perfect setting and in the shade, shielding guests from the heat of Stellenbosch. Guests enjoyed live music and food stations during pre-drinks, it ended with guests dancing and jamming to the sax players music.

As the sun set, guests dined al fresco, enjoying world-class Cape wines and locally inspired cuisine. They opted for platter to tables, which Table Seven executed perfectly. The vibe was electric, from hilarious speeches, to African dancing and many many cheering. The guests danced late into the night to celebrate this amazing couple.

Day Three: The Pool Party

With spirits still high, the party continued in a laid-back pool party that perfectly captured the couple’s fun-loving nature. The weather continued to shine, and so did everyone’s smiles. With cocktails in hand, feet in the water, and panoramic views all around, the party was a joyful exhale after a weekend full of love and laughter.

An Unforgettable Celebration

Michaela and Ryan’s wedding was more than just an event, it was an experience. Every detail reflected their journey and personalities. Cape Town will forever hold a special place in their story, and for everyone lucky enough to attend, it was a week they’ll never forget.
