“To Sam and the Assegaaibosch Team
You made our wedding day the most special and memorable day any Bride and Groom could ask for. You were there for our every need, be it a small lunch or a couple of drinks extra you did it with a huge smile on your face. The venue was absolutely beautiful and we couldn’t have imagined anything different. We both always wanted a forest wedding where our family’s could relax for the weekend and enjoy the company of everyone before the big day; you truly did fulfill this dream to the fullest. We cannot thank you enough for everything and would recommend Assegaaibosch in a heartbeat.
