To Laura and the rest of the Motozi Team What a spectacular wedding we had for Nikki and Dev at Motozi Lodge on the 7th of January 2017. Everything was just perfect! The venue is stunning and the guests absolutely adored it. The food was spectacular (and EVERYONE ate too much!!) (No complaints about that though!) Even though it was raining, every effort was made from your side to make sure that Nikki and Dev had their picture perfect wedding.

I had my wedding at Motozi lodge last year in October. I must say everything went just perfect, from planning right up to the actual event. The garden is just perfect for a perfect photo shoot, can't stop looking at my photos. No need for a wedding planner when you know what you want and Brumilda and Laura made sure I got that and more. Guys you're the best. My friends and family can't stop talking about it. We actually still want to come back for a weekend away. I'd recommend you to any one, be it a wedding or weekend away. You made my wedding day very memorable and I must say... YOU'RE THE BEST.

My wife and I recently got married at Motozi Lodge(20 June 2015) and it was truly a magical day that won't soon be forgotten. The gardens make it seem as if you are in a fairytale and the venue as a whole is just breath taking. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful everything was,how great the food tasted and how well everything was coordinated. Laura Brits and her team went all out and spent countless of hours to make our day as magical as it was. They captured every detail perfectly and made sure everything was in its place.

My husband and I found Motozi Lodge by "mistake" when we decided to visit a few venues. We both loved the feeling of calmness from the moment we set foot. We had a meeting with Laura to discuss every single detail of the day and had our pre wedding photoshoot at the venue on the same day. Our photographer has never been to the venue and this gave him the opportunitiy to see the venue beforehand. We stayed over the evening before the wedding wtih a group of friends and enjoyed a braai for the last time as an unmarried couple. The wedding day was just spectacular. I do not think that anything was out of place. The food is out of this world. The 100's of fairylights in the hall made the venue magical. Thank you Laura for making my day all that I have ever wanted it to be. Hennie & Leana Snyman
