ARE TYING THE KNOT
Saturday, January 17, 2026 at Lythwood Lodge
Formalities followed by dinner and dancing the night away
Our wedding ceremonies will be followed by a reception that will flow well into the night. Our venue has accommodation on-site (bed and breakfast) that will be exclusively available for our friends and family at reduced rates for the weekend.
We strongly advise that you book in either at the venue, or somewhere close by, both for convenience and safety. Unfortunately, accommodation at the venue is almost at full capacity. The remaining rooms will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you would like to stay over on the night of the wedding, please refer to the “Alternative Accommodation Options” section below for nearby places to book, in case accommodation at Lythwood is no longer available.
Breakfast on Sunday is still included on us, even if you stay at alternative nearby accommodation — we would still love for you to join us!
Please contact our wedding planner, John (events@lythwood.com), who will be more than happy to assist with accommodation arrangements at Lythwood. Alternatively, you're welcome to let either of us know if you require any help.
Lythwood Lodge will be exclusively available to our friends and family for the wedding weekend. To make travel easier, we’ve separated accommodation into two handy lists—one for the nights before (closer to the pre-wedding events in Pietermaritzburg) and one for the wedding night near the venue.
