At the Laughing Forest Wedding Venue and Beach Resort, we’ve learned that a knot is only as strong as the threads it’s woven from, and what beautiful threads these are — full of love, laughter, history, and hope.
It’s in the diversity of this space — both natural and nurtured — that we find the perfect metaphor for what it means to be truly connected. The forest, the sea, the open skies — all remind us how glorious this kind of entanglement can be.
Today, we celebrate Katheryn and Matthew — two wonderful people whose lives are now entwined. It is our privilege to be part of this moment.
The winter solstice has passed, and each day now brings the summer closer. The wind may be gusting into the low 40s, but the skies are clear, and joy is in the air.
Friday evening saw the family gathered around the fire pit, reconnecting over a classic South Coast braai. Today, our beloved chef Menzi is in the kitchen, preparing a feast full of flavour and care.
Lifestyle DJ KZN, Leon du Toit, will be setting the mood with his music, while our talented Shanna Smith & Jess Baillie from Shanna Joy Photography captures the magic through their lens.
Behind the bar, Retief is ready to serve, and up front, Sli joins Debbie once again to deliver what she does best — heartfelt, family-style hospitality.
From all of us here at the Laughing Forest, thank you for choosing our forest and beach retreat for this special day. We are honoured to be part of this journey and wish Katheryn and Matthew a life filled with adventure, tenderness, and unshakable love.
