At Cradle Valley, the celebration begins long before the first dance or dinner service. The moment you step out of the chapel and into the golden light that spills across the dam and mountain, something shifts — the day unfolds into a seamless celebration of love, laughter, and togetherness.
Our pre-reception experience is designed to let you and your guests savour every moment between “I do” and “cheers.” As the sun begins to set, your loved ones are greeted with a beautiful harvest table — an inviting showcase of seasonal fruits, charcuterie, and artisanal breads. It’s a feast for the senses, handcrafted to perfection and styled to complement the natural beauty of Cradle Valley, one of the most sought-after wedding venues in Muldersdrift.
To accompany the spread, our team curates signature drinks and bespoke canapés, creating a moment of relaxed indulgence while you and your bridal party take your photos against the breathtaking backdrop of the mountain. There’s laughter, the soft hum of conversation, and a sense of anticipation in the air — the kind of atmosphere that only Cradle Valley weddings are known for.
Every detail — from the flavours to the flow of the evening — is intentionally designed to make your day feel effortless and unforgettable. As the golden hour paints the sky and the fairy lights begin to glow, the celebration transitions naturally into your reception, where stories are shared, glasses are raised, and memories are made to last a lifetime.
At Cradle Valley, we believe your wedding isn’t just a day — it’s a collection of beautifully crafted moments. From “I do” to “cheers,” every second is a celebration of love, connection, and the start of your forever.
Cradle Valley – Muldersdrift’s most romantic wedding venue, where every sunset tells a story.
