INTENTION

Eikehof is not a venue in the traditional sense. It is a working farm and heritage home that offers a setting for intimate weddings shaped by meaning, restraint, and care. Celebrations here are unhurried, deeply personal, and grounded in place. Set at the foot of Olifantsberg, the farm provides a natural backdrop of gardens, water, and wide skies. Ceremonies take place outdoors whenever possible, with the land and light guiding the shape of the day.

Nothing is overly styled. Nothing feels imposed. The beauty lies in what is already here.

Weddings at Eikehof are intentionally small and thoughtfully considered. Rather than scale, the focus is on connection — a few chosen people, time to be together, and space for moments to unfold naturally. Each celebration is approached with respect for the farm, its rhythms, and its quiet character.

Each gathering at Eikehof is considered individually, with care and intention.
