What is a Marriage Meander Journey?
A fun wedding planning day specially designed for brides-to-be and their retinue, to assist with all aspects of your wedding planning.
What can you expect on the day?
As a guest, you are warmly received with coffee, tea, and breakfast buffet laid on by the first hosting venue. You are given a large Marriage Meander bag in which to place all the goodies you will collect throughout the day. You will then be taken on a tour of the venue to see the various services and facilities on offer, so you can start dreaming up your wedding day!
During breakfast, you will be treated to short demonstrations or presentations by top wedding specialists and see displays of their products/ services. The reliable wedding suppliers have been specially selected and will share with you a wealth of information gleaned from years of experience. Guests are encouraged to interact with the venue or wedding specialists before boarding the luxury coach to the next venue. The day continues in a similar fashion, visiting the other venues for tea and lunch, afternoon canapes, before ending at approximately 17h30.
You will depart with tips and ideas, gifts, the opportunity to have shared many prizes, and full tummies from all the treats and excellent cuisine sampled throughout the day.

A very big thank you for an amazing experience on Saturday. Mike & I had a fantastic time – Meeting new people, sharing ideas, the food was fabulous, and of course meeting the different suppliers was a huge help. There was something different about meeting them on the journey compared to meeting them at a bridal fair. It seemed more intimate & you could really have a good chat with them. Thank you for a great day. (Terri)
Questions & Answers:
WHICH WEDDING SPECIALISTS ARE ON THE JOURNEYS?
There are varying wedding specialists on each journey – each an expert in their field and with a wealth of experience. There will be a representative from every category of your planning: Legalities, Marriage Officers, Stationery, Hair & Make-up, Wedding Attire, Music, Videography, Photography, Décor, Flowers and the Honeymoon. Your hosts will be on hand to answer all of your questions and queries.
WHAT SHALL I WEAR?
It is best to wear comfortable walking shoes and smart casual clothing. The early mornings are chilly but things really heat up along our journey – so dress accordingly. If the weather is overcast bring a brolly.
WHO SHALL I BRING WITH ME?
Bring your parents, fiancé, bridesmaid or best friend – whoever you would most like to spend the day with! You are welcome to bring as many of your entourage with you as you would like – it is a fabulous, social day out. Many grooms-to-be attend the journeys and can be assured of enjoying fabulous food. If you would like to come on your own, this is perfect too. Our Team is very hospitable and you will certainly not be lonely. It is not advisable not to bring children as it is a very long, exhausting day for little people.
ARE THERE ADDITIONAL COSTS ON THE MEANDER?
There are no additional costs on a Meander and the venues really go out of their way to provide scrumptious meals and beverages.
The rate per person is all-inclusive. There may be goodies available for purchase by the suppliers and these are luxuries over and above the spoiling already available throughout the day.
