What an incredible day! The recent Garden Route Weddings Networking Meetup at Bon Game Reserve was an absolute full house — plus a few extra squeeze-ins! The turnout was so good that we had to shuffle things around to make space for everyone. From makeup artists and caterers to florists, suppliers, DJs, and venues, the variety of vendors who joined made the day truly special.

The team at Bon Game Reserve pulled out all the stops. The hospitality started off perfectly — with a sweet glass of wine to set the mood (wink, wink) — and from there, the warmth and friendliness just kept flowing. The food was delicious, the staff were incredible, and the overall experience was simply next-level. You could tell that every single detail had been thought through with genuine care.

What makes Bon Game Reserve so unique is not just the breathtaking setting, but the experiences you can have there. Did you know they’re home to the only hovercraft activity in the entire country? And if that’s not exciting enough, you can even go on guided hikes among wild animals — completely safely, since there are no predators on the reserve. It’s truly a one-of-a-kind venue that blends adventure, nature, and luxury in the best way possible.

By the end of the day, it was about more than just networking — it was about connection. Laughter echoed across the venue, friendships were formed, and collaborations were born. Events like this remind us exactly what the Garden Route Weddings community stands for: integrity, support, and showing up for one another.

A huge thank you to the wonderful Bon Game team for their hospitality, and to all the amazing vendors who joined us — you made the day unforgettable.
