We got married in the Western Cape Butterfly Sanctuary. It was awesome. The butterflies, the birds, the waterfalls and plants. We even saw fish!!!. What an awesome experience. It’s a pity that we only get married once otherwise we will di it again. Thank you Hanlo, Earle and Jandre.
I just wanted to let you know that everything worked out perfectly with the butterflies! The couple was thrilled!
Thank you so much!!
A breeder of SABBA recently assisted at a spectacular butterfly release in a spectacular venue at The Palace, Rustenburg. Each of the 120 wedding guests opened a packet for an individual butterfly release as the bride and groom said the I Do’s.
feedbackAfterwards, our breeder assisted with a mass release with the bride and groom for photo’s. There were plenty of oo’s and aah’s, especially from the bride and groom, as the butterflies were a surprise gift to them. All in all, a wonderful response from the wedding guests and of course, from the bridal couple.
Dear Earle and Lizanne I could not understand why butterflies are so costly and decided to give you guys a surprise visit in Ramsgate. When we arrived and told you that we wanted to order butterflies for my friends wedding day – you seemed so surprised. Thank you for getting Earle to come and take us on a tour of your breeding facility. We were truly very surprised and inspired by how much work is involved in breeding butterflies and getting them ready for our wedding. As promised we have written you this letter of thanks for your website and must say that all our butterflies were released and in perfect health. We appreciate all the help you have given and were happy to collect them from you in Ramsgate. The information you have provided for their care and well being was truly essential as the weather was hot and dry by us here in Pretoria. We will be sending you some pics soon one we have received them from our photographer, who thanks you guys for advices given for the butterflies stills.
BLOEMFONTEIN. – ’n Vet Griek-en-Boer-troue het Bloemfonteiners behoorlik aan die gons. Dié spoggerige tradisionele Griekse troue het alles opgelewer – vuurdansers, soesji, sjampanje en oester-kroeë tot fladderende skoenlappers wat as konfetti gebruik is. Op die spyskaart was “boerekos” en tradisionele Griekse poedings, terwyl 3000 borde in egte Griekse tradisie op die dansvloer gebreek is. George Koupis, ’n plaaslike Griekse drankhandelaar, en Yolandé Hanekom, ’n boerenooientjie van Namibië, wat haar eie klerewinkel en bemarkingsonderneming in Bloemfontein besit, het Saterdag voor sowat 700 gaste ewige trou aan mekaar beloof. Die stralende bruid het gesê sy en haar man is albei plat-op-die- aarde-mense, maar hy wou seker maak dat hul troudag die “spesiaalste dag” in haar lewe is.
“Ons is albei sosiale vlinders en wou ons troue behoorlik op ’n Griekse manier vier.” Liesl Williams, trouebeplanner van Bloemfontein, het gesê dié glansryke bruilof is een van die grootste en duurste troues wat die stad nóg gesien het. Ná die seremonie in die Grieks-Ortodokse kerk het die sowat 330 skoenlappers in alle kleure, wat in spesiale koeverte gehou is, gebibber van die koue. Die gaste het gesukkel om die skoenlappers, wat van Durban gebring is, te laat fladder omdat hulle hierdie tyd van die jaar nog hiberneer. Van die gaste het grappenderwys gesê hulle het die lewensasem in die skoenlappers geblaas. ’n Aangeklamde gas het later die aand gespog dat een van die skoenlappers wat in sy motor beland het die “duurste insek” is wat hy nog in sy motor gehad het. Terwyl die gaste by die Jakkalsdraai-onthaalsentrum vir die paartjie gewag het, kon hulle in ’n massiewe tent met glasdeure heerlike Moët & Chandon-sjampanje in spesiaal ontwerpte glase met die egpaar se embleem geniet en aan soesji en oesters peusel. Altesaam 70 kelners met spesiale goue- en salmkleurige uitrustings en 16 kroegmanne, het die gaste bedien, en by die kroeg is ’n spesiale sigaarsitkamer vir die gaste ingerig. “Dit was omtrent vir jou ’n storie,” het Williams gesê. “Ons sal die spesiale dag nooit in der ewigheid kan vergeet nie,” het die bruidspaar gesê.
