Small & Intimate Weddings
Our magical Small and Intimate wedding package has been designed for couples planning a wedding with up to 30 guests. On the wedding day you will have a choice of the Kave or Ocean Courtyard for your ceremony and welcome reception taking full advantage of the beautiful panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean. The ceremony is followed by a dining celebration in the Rustic Barn with a fully licensed bar, exclusively yours until 11pm.
Ocean Kave is a coastal venue like no other. Nestled within 60 acres of private coastal grounds in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty our quirky and unique venue offers magical backdrop for your small and intimate wedding.
We understand the importance of making life easy for our couples. In fact, it’s the reason why we are so popular. Ocean Kave’s Small and Intimate Weddings are designed to accommodate the couple and up to 26 guests. With this package, couples will arrive the day before the wedding and enjoy two nights in a luxurious honeymoon cottage, complete with a locally sourced breakfast hamper. The following day you have a choice of a beautiful romantic ceremony inside the Ocean Kave or overlooking the Atlantic Ocean within our private clifftop grounds. This is followed by a delicious three course sit down wedding feast or BBQ in the Rustic Barn before chillaxing or dancing the night away with your loved ones. For couples who can’t decide between a simple elopement and a big wedding, our Small and Intimate Wedding package may be the perfect compromise. With all the magic and atmosphere of a larger gathering and the personal touch of an elopement, our intimate wedding experience offers the best of both worlds.
As with all our packages, the Small and Intimate Wedding experience can be tailored to suit your needs and celebrate your individuality. Let us work with you to bring your vision to life.
