Enter the era of the one-venue wedding, where the ceremony, reception, photos, and even the honeymoon all happen under one beautiful roof.

"It's becoming an increasingly popular choice," says Nico Forbes, the meetings and events manager at the Radisson Collection Hotel, Waterfront Cape Town.

"Couples are realising that simplifying logistics doesn't just save money, it also creates a calmer, more enjoyable experience for everyone."

More than just convenient, these weddings are transforming the way couples and guests experience this significant milestone.

Ask any bride and groom what their wedding day felt like, and most will say: It flew by. Between makeup schedules, venue switches, and endless logistics, it's easy to forget to simply be there.

"Couples tend to be more present on their wedding day when they're not mentally tracking transport schedules or timelines," explains Fara Hamid, marketing manager at the same venue.

"When everything happens in one space, they get to soak up the joy, the laughter, and each other."
