Monja & Matthias | A Destination Wedding at Plaisir, Maison & La Cotte

Experience the official wedding film of Monja and Matthias, a stunning three-day destination celebration in the heart of the Cape Winelands, South Africa. As a Franschhoek wedding videographer, capturing the blend of Swiss elegance and South African soul across these three iconic venues was a career highlight.

The Three-Day Celebration:

The Welcome Dinner | Chef’s Warehouse at Maison The weekend began with an authentic South African welcome. Under the shade of ancient oak trees, guests enjoyed world-class tapas, traditional drumming, and soulful singing, setting a vibrant tone for the days to follow.

The Wedding Day | Plaisir Wine Estate The main event took place at the historic Plaisir. With its classic Cape Dutch architecture and dramatic mountain backdrops, it provided a breathtaking setting for Monja’s walk down the aisle and a night of timeless celebration.

The Pool Party | La Cotte Farm To conclude the festivities, the couple hosted a relaxed recovery pool party at La Cotte. Guests rejuvenated with fresh coconuts, South African sun, and a banquet of local delicacies overlooking the Franschhoek valley.

Monja and Matthias’ wedding was the perfect testament to their love, set against the most beautiful landscapes South Africa has to offer.
