Start times and dress codes
Cape Town is a popular place to marry, and its weddings tend to be long outdoor afternoons: a ceremony among the vineyards or by the sea, a sundowner while the light goes, then a dinner that runs late. Dress codes are relaxed but polished, and the wind is the detail every guest should plan for — a summer south-easter makes hats, hems and outdoor speeches harder work. Work functions usually start around six.
Getting to the venue
Most guests move by car, and ride-hailing door to door is the standard choice after dark. Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, where many wedding venues are, are about an hour's drive from the city, so a booked driver is the comfortable way to go. MyCiTi buses cover the centre and the Atlantic seaboard for daytime plans.
When the Cape Town calendar fills
The dry, warm months from October to April are wedding season, and December and January are the busiest weeks of the year, when much of the country is on holiday. Summer wind can blow hard for days at a time. Winter, June to August, is wet and green; events move indoors and venues are easier to book.
Taking a date to an occasion in Cape Town
How windy is an outdoor ceremony likely to be?
In summer, possibly very. The south-easter, known locally as the Cape Doctor, can blow hard for days, so your date should dress for it — secure layers, sensible shoes — and know where the ceremony moves if it gets too strong.
Where should we meet before the event?
The V&A Waterfront for a city venue, or a café in Stellenbosch or Franschhoek before a winelands wedding. Both are public and easy to reach door to door.
Can she come to a wedding in the winelands?
Yes. Give us the venue and the timings; the plan covers how you both travel the hour each way and when the day ends.
