We offer professional photography, providing you with a digital gallery capturing all the special moments of your elopement.

Please adhere strictly to the booked elopement time. An additional fee of R1200 will be charged per hour or part thereof for any extra time required.
All-Inclusive, Intimate Minimony Elopements for Your Perfect Day
Introducing Our Minimony Elopements
At Forevermore Moments, we create beautifully considered wedding experiences for couples who value intimacy, meaning and thoughtful design.
Our Minimony Elopements are designed for couples who want to celebrate their love in a beautiful, uncomplicated way, without the scale, expense or complexity of a traditional wedding.
Whether you envision a short and heartfelt ceremony or a little more time to celebrate with those closest to you, our three experiences give you the freedom to choose the celebration that feels right for you.
Three Intimate Experiences
Our 45-minute, 1-hour and 2-hour Minimony Elopements are thoughtfully curated for couples who want a simple yet beautifully complete wedding experience.
Each includes the essential elements needed to make your ceremony feel special, from your venue and ceremony setting to photography, flowers, refreshments and on-the-day coordination.
You simply choose your experience, invite the people who matter most and let our team take care of the details.
For Couples Who Want Something More
If you’d like more time to celebrate, dine and enjoy your wedding day with family and friends, our All-Inclusive Micro Weddings offer a more immersive experience for 20–50 guests.
With 4-hour and 6-hour options, they provide all the beauty and ease of a Forevermore wedding while keeping the celebration intimate and personal.

Your Intimate “I Do” Beside the River
Picture yourselves exchanging vows in our enchanting open-air riverside chapel, where the gentle breeze moves through the trees and the river creates a naturally beautiful backdrop for the beginning of your forever.
Our Minimony Elopements are created for couples who want their wedding day to be meaningful, beautiful and wonderfully intimate. With only your closest loved ones beside you, there is space to slow down, savour the moment and truly experience the significance of saying “I do.”
Perhaps you want to celebrate your marriage with a larger circle of family and friends at a later date. Or perhaps a small wedding simply feels more like you. Either way, our Minimony experiences give you the freedom to celebrate your commitment without the time, expense and complexity of a traditional wedding.
From the beautifully styled ceremony setting to the personal touches that make the occasion yours, our dedicated team takes care of the details, allowing you to be fully present in the moment.
Choose between our 45-minute, 1-hour or 2-hour all-inclusive experiences, each thoughtfully designed around an intimate celebration.
At Forevermore Moments, we believe your wedding should feel like you, not like a production you have to manage.
Come for the ceremony. Stay for the moment. Leave with the beginning of your forever.

Escape the Ordinary. Choose Something Intimate.
At Forevermore Moments, we believe your wedding doesn’t have to be big to feel extraordinary.
Our all-inclusive Minimony Elopements are thoughtfully designed for couples who want an intimate, beautifully curated celebration without the stress, expense or complexity of a traditional wedding.

With three carefully curated experiences ranging from 45 minutes to 2 hours, we’ve taken care of the important details so you don’t have to.
Choose your setting, say your vows and let our dedicated team take care of the rest.
Whether you picture exchanging vows beneath the trees in our garden or beside the river in our enchanting open-air chapel, Forevermore Moments provides a beautiful, intimate backdrop for the beginning of your forever.
