Kelsey and Kobus are a couple who love the beauty of the bush and the breathtaking sunsets that come with it. So, when it came to their wedding day, it was no surprise that they chose to exchange their vows in the stunning red rock valley of Mankinky Manzi.
Mankinky Manzi proved to be the perfect venue for Kelsey and Kobus’ wedding day. The rustic lodge and red rock valley provided the perfect backdrop for their boho-themed celebration, while the modern bush mansion served as a comfortable space for the groom and his groomsmen to prepare. The resort’s team ensured that the couple’s dream wedding day became a reality. The personalised service and attention to detail made the day stress-free and enjoyable for everyone involved.
Kobus and his groomsmen got ready for the big day at a modern bush mansion located a few kilometers away from the rustic lodge where Kelsey and her bridesmaids prepared for the ceremony. Both locations offered the perfect backdrop for the couple’s dream wedding day.
Kelsey’s father was in for a special surprise during the preparations, as Kelsey chose to do a reveal to him before the ceremony. The special moment was filled with tears of joy and anticipation for the big day ahead.
As the ceremony approached, the sun began to set over the valley, and the golden hour provided a beautiful bronze glow over the landscape. It was the perfect setting for the couple to exchange their vows and start their journey as a married couple – not to forget how it lent itself to a beautiful setting for couple portraits.
The boho-themed wedding was nothing short of magical, with the bride wearing a stunning lace dress and a flower crown, while the groom donned a stylish green suit, that worked with the earthy colours of the location perfectly.
After the ceremony, the couple and their guests moved to the reception area, where they enjoyed a delicious feast prepared by the resort’s renowned chefs. The décor was minimalistic, with touches of greenery and wildflowers that complimented the natural beauty of the location.
The cuisine was locally sourced, and the flavours were a true reflection of South African culture. The celebration continued with speeches, toasts, and dancing as the night went on.
Kelsey and Kobus’ love for each other was super infectious. The guests loved the festivities, with many of them taking the opportunity to go on a bush drive for some animal sighting at the river the next day.
