Summer weddings at the Mouse House!

It’s summer and what better time of the year to have your wedding than when it is warm and bright. Durban and the KZN Midlands almost always pose the perfect scenery with sunshine, a cool breeze and fresh scents in the air that make for a pleasing setting for a wedding or special event.

For many couples who opt for Granny Mouse Country House & Spa as their venue of choice to host their big day, all is under control by the experienced and dedicated staff that go the extra mile to ensure smooth sailing on the day. The team is highly experienced to set up exactly to the brief and have created a team of suppliers that work to their very specific standards.

For summer, Ane Du Preez, the Banqueting Manager of Granny Mouse, suggests that couples choose a brighter theme for the décor as a starting point. “This brings in an element of happiness to the reception area where guests are seated,” she says.

For the Menu, she adds that Chef Shaun Dampies will sit with the couple to discuss the best dishes for their summer wedding. “I like to advise couples to make the most of using salads, cold meats, cold desserts and refreshing drinks, especially for an afternoon summer wedding,” Dampies says.

Granny Mouse Country House & Spa informs every couple that they work hand in hand with suppliers that are dedicated to their spectrum of work from décor, flower, hair, ministers, to music.

“To be honest when we commit to the “day of your dreams” we prefer to work with people that we know will support us both. These suppliers work with us on an ongoing basis and understand how passionate Granny Mouse is about our Weddings,” says Sean Granger, the General Manager of the property.
