PRESSROOM

Taking art to a new level

Wednesday, 17 October 2012 10:52

Aleit and Kojabu Designs recently hosted and celebrated the art of three artists in Aleit’s home in Somerset West. Being Kojabu’s first exhibition, this unique experience certainly ‘brought art to the home’ and allowed exhibition-goers to experience these inspiring pieces in a warm and unpretentious atmosphere.  We are looking forward to the next one!
 
Read more about the artists here.

Aimee and Marco met through mutual friends while on holiday in Cape Town. In fact, Aimee's cousin was enjoying a summer romance with one of Marco's friends! This meeting however, was possibly the foundation of things to come but it was not to be an instant relationship. It was only when both Aimee and Marco had moved to Cape Town that a firm partnership developed.

Karen and Matt: Part 3

Thursday, 20 September 2012 08:05

“The professionalism the Aleit team showed from day one, along with their expertise, friendliness and quirky ideas and attention to detail was something else that stood out for us. Taking control of the organising took out the stress of planning a wedding and making sure the day ran smoothly left smiles on our faces and special memories in our hearts. They delivered everything they promised to a very high standard. There were even things on the day which we knew nothing about but loved, like cold basins to wash the ladies’ feet after walking through the vineyard and the shoe shine station for men before going into the reception.”

Karen and Matt:  Part Two

Thursday, 20 September 2012 07:48

Karen and Matt: "Our wedding day was so special to us, just what we wanted and more. We had an absolute ball, as did our guests. We felt completely confident leaving the day in Aleit’s hands and Johnny and the team did an amazing job. The service we got from the waitrons was professional and friendly, the food, from the canapés to our dessert station, was outstanding, the décor and flowers set the scene and the band kept our dance floor pumping!"
