Emily Moon Intimate Covid Wedding

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, intimate weddings became a beautiful reminder that love transcends even the most challenging times. One such wedding took place along the banks of the Bitou River at Emily Moon River Lodge in Plettenberg Bay. Vian & Shene exchanged their vows in a secluded, outdoor setting surrounded by close family and friends. With nature as their backdrop and the soft sounds of the flowing water adding to the atmosphere, the ceremony was simple yet profoundly emotional. The restrictions on large gatherings made the day more personal, focusing on what truly mattered—celebrating the love and commitment between two people.

Emily Moon River Lodge was the perfect setting for this intimate celebration with its rustic, otherworldly decor which transported the guests to a time before the pandemic. We al almost forgot, if only for one night, that the world was suffering. And so, in the midst of a pandemic, this wedding proved that love cannot be paused or postponed, and that even in challenging times, beauty and joy can flourish.
