About Forevermore Moments, an intimate riverfront venue
Welcome to Forevermore Moments, an enchanting, intimate riverfront venue brimming with fairytale charm.
Established in 2011, our story began with Illze Erasmus, who, after selling her design company in Pretoria, embarked on a journey with her husband to Heidelberg. Despite initial doubts, Illze and Jaco’s unwavering vision and determination transformed a neglected property into a picturesque oasis. They were inspired by the serene beauty of the river and surrounding willow trees.
Driven by a desire to reignite her passion for making a meaningful impact, Illze transitioned from housewife to event planner. She was initially hesitant about weddings but ultimately captivated by the joy of celebrating love.
Forevermore Moments was born from a prayerful search for a name that encapsulated God’s promise of abundant blessings through unity. The name draws inspiration from Psalm 133.
At Forevermore Moments, we honor the sanctity of marriage and embrace the privilege of crafting truly exceptional weddings. Our bespoke weddings reflect the unique personalities of each couple.
With our bespoke Fingerprint packages, we invite you to embark on a journey to create unforgettable memories that will be cherished for a lifetime. Let us guide you through every step, ensuring your special day is filled with love, laughter, and timeless beauty.
