Beneath the oldest tree.
A wedding at Quinta Arca begins where the land itself began: in the shade of the first tree.
One tree.Two families.
A family house, for the joining of families.
Nineteen hectares of garden and hillside, with the Lebombo mountains behind you.
The quinta is named after an ark and after a grandmother who kept her arms open to the whole family. We plan each wedding with the couple, from a small ceremony for close family to a long celebration with everyone you love.
Ceremonies
Civil or religious, in the garden beneath the old tree or with the valley behind you.
Receptions
Long tables outdoors, Mozambican and Portuguese cooking, and dancing into the cool mountain night.
The whole weekend
Rooms at the house for the couple and close family, so the celebration does not have to end at midnight.
Engagements & anniversaries
Smaller gatherings for the moments around the wedding, or for the years after it.
Family reunions
Birthdays, christenings and the gatherings that bring every generation to one table.
Photography
Late-afternoon light on the hills, the house and the old tree. Photographers like the hour before sunset best.
