Hospitality - Ladysmith, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
The Du Toit family is passionate about beauty, and helping their community create beautiful memories. Over the years, that is exactly what they have done. It all started with Nauntons Guest House, from where they hosted weddings and other functions. Then came Thandana Weddings, which opened up a whole new adventure with more space and a new take on what they can offer. t Thandana Weddings, Wes and his mother Rose offer brides much more than a simple package. "We don't limit the bride to a specific package, every bride is different and every couple has vision for their wedding day and it's so important to us that their dream comes true. So we cater to their specific needs. Since we understand that our clients are individuals we plan weddings for people from all cultural backgrounds from African weddings to Muslim to Hindu to Western weddings. We can accommodate anyone. We do offer a beautiful wedding venue on our property (Nauntons Guest House) named Thandana Wedding Venue, but that doesn't mean the wedding has to take place at Thandana. Wherever the couple feels more comfortable and needs us to be is a pleasure for us to work at. The reason Rose & Wes are such an unstoppable team is because they work in perfect sync. "My mother is an absolute inspiration. She's been planning weddings for 15 years, and she is continuously broadening her horizons. She is always looking for new ideas and trying new things. We believe that no two weddings should be the same, simply because no two couples are exactly the same. So she is constantly sharpening her skills. If a bride wants a certain dish that mother has never made, she will try the dish and persevere until she gets it perfect, there is no such thing as giving up or simply saying no we can't."
