The farm Contreberg was established in the early 1800’s to support passing ships of the then Dutch East Indian Company producing fresh crops and grazing for animals. The farm remained in the Pretorius Versfeld family over the last few decades before the now 352 ha was subdivided and entrusted to the Pretorius family in 2016.

Hoogeland Wedding and Function venue, on top of the picturesque town, Paarl, with breathtaking views from the wooden decks and the calming sound of cascading water.  A little piece of heaven waiting for you to visit.

This magnificent venue features some options for you to plan your dream wedding or celebration. There is a covered deck available with beautiful mountain views and a covered romantic chapel steps away from the reception area.

There are several seat pocket areas on a lush lawn surrounded with nature, views over Paarl, nature sounds, trees, scrubs, and fynbos, making this a photographer's dream with endless backdrops of the mountains and the waterfall in the main venue area. This leads you to a surprise, a dreamy forest. Endless backdrops for the photographer enabling them to be creative.

What makes this even more attractive and cost-effective is the accommodation offered on this sanctuary. A romantic and stylish honeymoon suite in the main building where you wake up in the morning with endless uninterrupted views of the picturesque town Paarl and surrounding areas. There is a little wooden cabin (very suitable for the guys getting ready) also in the venue and nature area available for optional accommodation.

With several romantic walkways surrounded with nature leading you to the main venue, where you enter this area and it takes your breath away.  A cascading waterfall inviting you to forget about everything and you can just absorb this beauty and sounds of the calming waterfall. 

This is the venue you would love to book for your wedding. You can even be hosting your next celebration in nature, a sanctuary where you can linger for hours with only nature surrounding you. We were honoured to share these moments with a couple on a recent intimate wedding.

This true gem showcases the owners love and devition to their property, they will assist you in any way needed, making sure your occasion will be memorable.

Champagne Occasions is a company like no other. The whole company is based on a need that came about when the owner got engaged and was looking for unique quality items to help women enjoy their journeys as brides-to-be. 

“In my search for the perfect pieces to make my bachelorette unforgettable, I discovered that most of the products I fell in love with were only available overseas. I believe that South African brides should have access to these products too, and so I set up this online store making these items available here, at affordable prices.” Says Melissa, owner of Champagne Occasions.

Now you can order arrangements that won’t wilt, won’t need to be maintained and they will last up to 12 months, introducing Life Rosa. These are real, natural roses that last a year. Life Rosa roses have been preserved in a wax base solution in order to create a rose that lasts a lifetime.

People love receiving roses, it doesn’t even have to be for a special occasion, but no one wants to throw their beautiful bouquets away. Including their nostalgic wedding bouquets. This is how Life Rosa was born, these roses were created and designed to stay fresh and last up to a year.

"Our luxurious boxed arrangements or bridal bouquets can be crafted to your personal taste. Or, create your own fairytale with our beauty and the beast inspired domes." - Life Rosa

These high-quality floral arrangements are low maintenance, can be shipped anywhere in South Africa and only require a little dusting from time to time to keep them looking fresh and bright. The Life Rosa owners hand pack every delivery themselves to ensure only the highest quality arrangements go out. 

How do you care for your Life Rosa Roses? They’re super low maintenance because they know you don’t have time to water flowers – so, no watering is required, they don’t need sunlight either and they don’t like dust. Please don’t eat these roses, the wax coating means they are not edible and at times the colour can stain.  

These arrangements are the perfect gift for a loved one or a special occasion. Imagine Valentines roses that don’t need to be thrown away a week later, imagine proposing with some multi-coloured pastel roses that will last a year, a wedding bouquet that won’t wilt, or celebrate a baby shower with their turquoise blue or cerise pink arrangements.

There are 22 colours available.
