Our Story

A little story of faith, love, creativity and the making of Forevermore Moments

Nestled beside a serene river and beneath graceful willow trees, Forevermore Moments began with a simple vision: to create a wedding experience where love, faith and thoughtful design come together beautifully. Founded in 2011 by Illze Erasmus, a senior designer with more than 25 years of experience and a BA Information Design (Honours) from the University of Pretoria, Forevermore Moments grew from a lifelong passion for creating meaningful spaces and experiences. After selling her successful design studio in Pretoria, Illze turned her creative eye towards weddings, bringing the same attention to detail, visual storytelling and purposeful design to every celebration. Together with her husband, she transformed a neglected riverside property into the enchanting garden venue it is today. What was once overlooked became a place filled with beauty, warmth and possibility, shaped by the river, the willows and a deep belief that the most meaningful celebrations are often found in the details. MORE THAN A BEAUTIFUL VENUE Forevermore Moments was created specifically for intimate Christian weddings, where the focus remains on the covenant being celebrated, the people who matter most, and the little moments that become treasured memories. We believe your wedding should not look like everyone else's. It should tell your story. That is why our celebrations are thoughtfully designed around each couple, from the setting and styling to the flowers, stationery, signage and meaningful ceremonial details. Our Fingerprint Weddings take this even further, creating a celebration that is uniquely yours from beginning to end. With a senior designer at the heart of the experience, every element is considered not simply for how it looks, but for how it feels, flows and contributes to the story of your day. A PLACE FOR MEANINGFUL BEGINNINGS Today, Forevermore Moments remains intentionally small, beautifully personal and deeply rooted in its original purpose: to create a place where Christian couples can begin their marriage surrounded by beauty, faith and the people they love most. Because your wedding is not simply an event. It is the beginning of forever.
