Couples need to note that this is the type of wedding where you would go big financially but not with many guests as only a wedding party of 12 is allowed. Another important note is that flights only leave from Cape Town to Antarctica, and it will take five hours to arrive at the destination. Upon arriving, guests will enjoy a white dessert party.

Unlike any other wedding where the couple would send out a wedding gift registry to all guests, with this package, guests will pledge $1000 (about R16 600) per person towards conservation and sustainability initiatives in Antarctica.
Accommodation offered includes spending a night at a brand-new Polar camp that has six futuristic pods overlooking snow. For food, South African cuisine will be served in the central pod, which will be paired with award-winning wine.
