About Us
About Forevermore Moments, an Intimate Riverfront Venue
Nestled along a serene riverfront, Forevermore Moments is an intimate, enchanting venue where fairy-tale weddings come to life.
Founded in 2011 by Illze Erasmus, a senior designer with over 25 years of experience and a BA in Information Design (Honours) from the University of Pretoria, Forevermore Moments combines professional design expertise with bespoke wedding experiences. After selling her successful design studio in Pretoria, Illze brought her design skills to wedding and event planning, ensuring every celebration is thoughtfully crafted, visually cohesive, and uniquely personal.
Inspired by the gentle river and graceful willow trees, Illze and her husband transformed a neglected property into a picturesque oasis. At Forevermore Moments, we honor the sanctity of marriage and the individuality of each couple.
Our bespoke Fingerprint Packages guide couples through a fully personalized wedding journey, where every detail—from décor to flowers, signage, and stationery—is designed with professional expertise. With an experienced designer at the helm, you can be confident that your wedding is not only beautiful but curated with care, creativity, and precision.
