The Moments In Your Special Day
Your wedding day is finally here, and it's going to be an unforgettable experience from start to finish. As the groom,
you’ll have your own timeline designed to ensure everything runs smoothly while giving you time to relax and enjoy
each moment.
Early Morning
The Grooms Suite
Imagine waking up on the morning of your wedding day, filled with excitement and a touch of nervous anticipation. Your journey at Cradle Valley begins in our specially prepared groom suite, Cottage 2. This cozy and comfortable space is the perfect setting for you and your groomsmen to get ready. As you put on your suit, you can relax knowing that everything you need is at hand.
In The Morning
Our Maître d'
Your morning starts smoothly with the assistance of our attentive male maître d'. He greets you with a refreshing drink and a light snack, making sure you have the energy you need for the day ahead. Whether it's ironing your suit or attending to any last-minute details, he ensures everything is perfect, allowing you to focus on the excitement of the moment.
Later In The Afternoon
On Your Way
As the time approaches, our coordination team guides you up the lavender pathway towards the chapel area. Here, you have the option to greet guests casually, sharing a moment with friends and family as they arrive. Alternatively, you can choose to make your own grand entrance. With all guests seated and anticipation building, our in-house function manager cues you to take your place at the front of the chapel, making this moment truly your own.
The Moment Has Arrived
Awaiting Your Bride
Standing at the front of the chapel, you feel the weight of the moment. The oversized wooden doors are closed, and the atmosphere is filled with anticipation. Suddenly, the authentic brass bell rings, signalling the start of the ceremony. The doors slowly open, and you see your bride for the first time. The sight of her, radiant and beautiful, fills you with joy and love, making this a moment you will never forget.
The chapel, with its wooden register table, provides a beautiful and intimate setting for your vows. Surrounded by the beautiful chapel gardens, you exchange vows and seal your love with a kiss. After signing the register, you and your bride walk back down the aisle, now as husband and wife.
After The Ceremony
Remembrance Bridge
Next, you make your way to the branding bridge, a unique tradition at Cradle Valley. Together, you brand your initials onto the bridge, leaving a permanent mark of your love and union. This act symbolises your commitment and ensures you become a lasting part of our venue's history.
After The Ceremony
Confetti Time
As you exit the chapel, your guests shower you with rose petals, a gesture filled with love and joy. This beautiful moment is followed by refreshments and mingling in our fountain/bar area or sunset patios. While your guests enjoy the celebration, you and your bride take stunning wedding photos around our beautiful grounds, capturing moments in the sundowners garden, boma area, or against the backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery.
Time To Smile
The Wedding Photos
As your guests enjoy refreshments and mingle in our fountain/bar area or sunset patios, you and your bride take stunning wedding photos around our beautiful grounds. Capture moments in the sundowners garden, boma area, or against the backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
