Testimonials
Dear Willie and Tabita
After a wonderful couple of days away as a newlywed couple, myself and Amelia want to extend a message of gratitude and utmost appreciation for you and Tabita's contribution to our special day! We cannot express enough thanks for so many small things and gestures, but mostly the extra mile in assisting us and especially the family approach that both of you followed right from the start of the process.
We always felt as if we knew both of you for years and although you both handled the process in a very professional manner, on time, administratively spot on, yet always creating a comfortable environment for us to realize our dream wedding!
You have managed a wonderful 'one-stop-shop' yet, lovely wedding guidelines of mentorship that would reverberate with young and the not so young couples. We were astounded by the easy way of going about a high-pressure event like this for any couple or family, but you never negated on being professional and giving us the opportunity to build our own identity into our special day. Well done. We can clearly see why you have been rated as one of the best wedding officiants in the business! We have no doubt that the lovable environment that the two of you as husband-and-wife display, creates the perfect and comfortable setup for a wedding of two people in love.
There are so many aspects we can highlight, your very generous pricing structure, no stone left unturned to get documentation in line, the additional, comfortable and professional assistance with the wedding photography and the endearing approach as business partners, just put you in a different category for us. We have done extensive research on wedding officiants, and we have no doubt that we have struck gold with the team of Cape Marriages! Keep up the great work, we look forward to our next coffee!
Regards
Bart and Amelia Schoeman

When my now wife Karen and I decided to travel to and get married in her home country of South Africa, we had to find a minister to conduct our wedding ceremony. To be honest, as two people with a faith in God, but who were both previously divorced, we needed someone to whom we felt comfortable confronting our previous 'failure', for want of a better word. But also someone who could help us both truly and authentically celebrate the joy of finding each other, loving again and having a second chance at a committed life together.
Well, I must say that I did not think that it would be possible to find such a person away from our home country. How wrong I was! From the moment we met Willie and his lovely wife Tabitha, for a planning meeting in Cape Town we felt so uplifted by his warmth, kindness and enthusiasm for what we were trying to achieve by getting married for a second time. Willie's strong faith, communicated through his beautiful and cheerful nature made us feel very special and loved. He was attentive to all our ideas and plans about the wedding. He then suggested and ran through with us how he thought the ceremony would complement those plans, whilst placing the marriage itself as the very focal point of the day. We felt very unburdened after spending this time with Willie and Tabitha.
The day itself could not have gone better. The marriage was a spiritually powerful moment and the celebrations afterward were joyful and memorable.
We are so glad that it was conducted by Willie. Both he and Tabitha went the extra mile for us and did far more than just conduct the ceremony. They drove all the way to Plettenberg Bay from Cape Town, they stayed overnight to ensure they were already there on the day itself, they rehearsed with us beforehand, Tabitha took the most wonderful photographs of the day.
But the greatest testimony I can give to Willie and Tabitha, is that they became our friends and took part with us in the celebrations with those closest to us as if we had known them for many years and not just over a week.
