Morning Liza:)
We just wanted to say a massive massive thank you for the most beautiful day. All our friends said it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to and that you were incredible. The venue was incredible and I had multiple comments on the night from people telling me how amazing the waiters were.
Our room was amazing, you took my few pictures and made it into our absolute dream.
A special thank you from me for making me feel so supported on the day and the whole lead up to as well.
We can’t thank you enough 🥹🤍🤍🤍
Hi Liza,
Hope you're well and have had a wonderful start to 2026
As promised please see below our review - thank you thank you once again
We got married at Bona Dea on the 6th of December 2025, and it was truly the best day of our lives. Set in the breathtaking rolling hills of the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, the venue is nothing short of magical and offers a uniquely special wedding destination in the Western Cape.
From the very beginning, Liza was exceptional, warm, professional, and incredibly supportive — ensuring that every detail of our vision was thoughtfully brought to life.
A heartfelt thank you to the entire Bona Dea team for creating such a seamless, beautiful, and unforgettable day. It is a place we will cherish forever.

We are enormously grateful to you for your part in the planning & execution. With your eye for detail & experience, we had the comfort of not stressing too much and knew it was in the capable hands of you & your team.
Thank you🙏

We would like to thank you for an excellent function. The wedding went absolutely smoothly and even my very careful music selection was performed completely correctly. The run-up to the wedding was punctual, comprehensive and “stress-free”. In all respects an extremely professional experience. We would recommend Bona Dea with all our hearts.
