The Brahman Hills snow story
A moment frozen in time: the snow story ❄
Our spring weekend transformed into a snowy blanket draping over the hills of the Midlands, revealing nature’s incredible beauty and power to bring sudden change. While it was spectacular and joyful to experience the snow, it also presented numerous challenges that tested our teams, our guests, and our planned weddings.
We applaud our amazing, resilient team who worked long hours to ensure our snowed-in guests were comfortable and safe. They made sure our brides and grooms could still have the wedding of their dreams. Saturday’s scheduled wedding was moved to Sunday due to the weather, and our teams navigated the elements with access challenges, melting snow, and power outages. Remarkably, we managed to host two weddings in one day. Not only did the Brahman Hills family rise to the challenge, but they also went above and beyond to make it happen against all odds.
To our suppliers, your dedication to ensuring our weddings went ahead has been remarkable. Many of you travelled in severe weather conditions, got stuck in the snow, and even had to be towed, but you persevered!
Thank you to all our guests for handling the unforeseen challenges with such grace. We could not have managed this without your understanding and patience!
A truly heartfelt thank you to our Brahman Hills family, our guests, our brides and grooms, and our suppliers for making it all possible.
In the spirit of Ubuntu, we did it, together! 🤍✨️
