- Pre Reception Area
While the guests arrive they are invited to have a pre-arranged “welcoming drink” under the thatches in the garden. These thatches are situated in the middle of the gardens and are surrounded by water features. The tranquil sound of running water relaxes young and old, and their chatter carries through the valley.
- Function Room
On walking into the airy thatched function room, you are swept away by the ambience created by dimmed chandeliers and soft voile drapes. The linen covered chairs invite you to take your seat around the sociable 10 seater round tables. The hall becomes one with the enchanting gardens when the big glass doors are flung open. Both Venues seat from 60 up to 400 guests (without a dance floor) depending on hall lay-out and if the veranda is incorporated.
- Music & Sound
When the sound engineers installed our sound system they considered the fact that you have different age groups attending functions and concentrated our sound on the dance floor to allow the guests at the back of the hall to socialise in peace. Our DJ’s are very experienced and will even help you with your order of events for the evening. The client discusses their requirements with him prior to the function. Unfortunately no other DJ is allowed to play at Makiti.
- Bar Area
We have a beautiful, well-designed, bar in both our Venues. Makiti’s Bars are fully licensed and are operated as per the client’s instruction, e.g. Cash Bar or Tab, etc. The quantity of our barmen is determined by the quantity of your guests. Unfortunately no liquor is allowed to be brought onto the premises.
- Catering
Makiti also has its own kitchens where we can cater according to your requirements. It is a fact that the food is the most important part of any function. The food is the first thing that all the guests will chat about when they get home. We have high standards and use only good quality products. The client can either select a plated or buffet style menu, or even combinations of the two. The contents of the menus and the style of presenting of the food can be designed around different likes, traditions and nationalities. From traditional “Boere kos” to French Cuisine, just the way the client would prefer.
With a normal 4 - course menu, the starter is served to the guest while seated. The coordinator invites each table for their main course at the buffet where they are handed a warm plate and led to one of the two serving points. The food is normally kept on the display for approximately 45min after the last table dished main course. This gives the guests the opportunity to help themselves to seconds if desired. Dessert can either be plated or a selection of desserts can be displayed in the buffet section. The Buffet Sections are inter-linking with the Main Function Rooms. The fact that the buffet display is not done on the dance floor (or else where in the Function room) has lots of advantages. We can prepare the next course in the buffet section without interfering with the flow of the function. We can leave the display of food open for guests to help themselves even if you have started dancing – we don’t need to remove the food to create space for the dance floor. If we need to change the display in the buffet area it is quite easy to close the doors for a little while and open them again with a brand new look.
At Makiti our main aim is to be involved with as much as possible, in order to relieve you of the stress normally related with organising the event. By controlling everything we can guarantee success.” “Peace of Mind” is priceless. At Makiti it is part of the package.
 
- Function Planning
When you have your “Final Arrangement” meeting held about 6 weeks prior to the function, we discuss every little detail of the day. Our function planner will give you pro’s & con’s to every option you are considering and assist you in making the right decisions. We use all our experience to your advantage. This meeting can only be booked on weekdays between 09h00 and 16h00. Always remember that you can’t re-do anything after the function, it has to be perfect. You either do it right or you don’t do it at all!!!!
After our 2-hour get-together, we know exactly what is supposed to be done where and when, and we therefore don’t have to bug you at all on the day. Your personal function coordinator will ensure that all is done and will be by your side until the end of your function.
- Flowers & Decor
Walking through the arched wooden doors you are immediately struck by the romantic ambience created by the soft dimmed light of the fine copper chandeliers and the golden glow of the sun that brushes your cheeks through the tainted windows.
The wooden pews seat up to 220 guests that await you while listening to romantic music played over the installed sound system.
The ringing of the Antique Brass Bell, announces that your big moment has finally arrived. As you take your first step down the 19m Merlot Red Carpeted Isle, the congregation rises to welcome you to the start of your new life.
There is a beautiful podium that is installed in the front. There is also a register table on which you will sign the most important contract of your life.
The Chapel is also available to our function clients. Your photographer is welcome to set-up in the chapel for the taking of group / individual photos.
