Whether you're newly engaged or still searching for the perfect venue, photographer or florist, entering the Ultimate Wedding Giveaway could be the beginning of an unforgettable journey. A Dream That Became Reality One of the questions we're often asked is: "Does someone really win the prize?" The answer is an emphatic yes. At the inaugural Greater Garden Route Wedding EXPO in 2025, Kayleigh Peters and Curwin Bosch were announced as the winners of our very first Ultimate Wedding Giveaway. On 4 July 2026, we had the privilege of photographing and filming their beautiful wedding at St Francis Links, where they celebrated their love surrounded by family, friends and an incredible team of wedding professionals. Watching their journey unfold, from hearing their names announced at the EXPO to capturing every moment of their wedding day, reminded us exactly why we created this competition. If you'd like to see how their incredible day came together, we invite you to read their story: → https://greatergardenrouteweddingexpo.co.za/journal/grand-prize-winners-kayleigh-curwin-bosch-dream-wedding What's Included?
