In February The Arabella Hotel
& Spa was the perfect setting for
two unbelievable events for an
International Mining Group. For
the first event, the pool area was
transformed into the “Cultures of
Cape Town” with the 300 guests
seated in three different areas,
each representing a different
culture (in broad strokes of
course).
Cape Malay in chilli red & gold,
was all about the Bo-Kaap…spice
shops & flower sellers. Shebeen
explored life in the Township with
custom tin figurines & beaded
bottles. Cape Dutch In blue &
white was inspired by our Dutch
ancestry…& our fabulous
Winelands. As guests arrived for
pre-dinner cocktails…street
performers, stilt walkers,
marimbas & a contortionist performed jaw dropping acts.
After spending the day networking & playing a few rounds of golf,
it was time for another unbelievable night. Pre-Dinner drinks
were quite the affair in front of the Club House & set the tone for
the evening. Guests were mesmerized by the talented Shannon
Fourie & gorgeous models showcasing jewellery by two young
London designers & the award winning Uwe Koetter Jewellers.
Then Guests walked down to the spectacular 600m² clear span
marquee for dinner. Situated on the first pitch, the marquee had
panoramic views of the lagoon & hotel. The table decor was all
about "Understated Elegance" with hues of blue & lots of candles
(1020 to be exact)… truly spectacular!
After dinner Tasha Baxter & DJ Dean Fuel kept the party going till
the wee hours of the morning!
