Our Story
The newest chapter of a family of venues
Élan is the third venue of the Inimitable Group, and an intimate one. A sister to Inimitable and STAY, with a character entirely its own.
The Founders
Zavion and John Kotze-Brereton
Élan is created by John and Zavion Kotze-Brereton, the founders of Inimitable Wedding Venue and STAY by Inimitable, and of Zavion Kotze Events Company.
Each venue in the group has its own look and its own mood. What they share is the people behind them, and the way they host a wedding.
Élan brings that same hospitality to a smaller celebration: an intimate wedding venue for 20 to 60 guests, on the same Muldersdrift address as Inimitable.
Zavion in the pressThe Name
Élan: energy, style and enthusiasm; a distinctive grace in the way a thing is done.
The word comes from the French élancer, to throw forward. The brush stroke over the É in our logo is that movement, made by hand: one confident gesture, the moment a new life together begins.
The Inimitable Group
Three venues, one family
Inimitable Wedding Venue: a glass chapel in the Cradle of Humankind, and the venue that came first.
STAY by Inimitable: a wedding and accommodation venue on the Wedding Mile, with a completely different look and the same standard of hospitality.
Élan: an intimate wedding venue, coming soon. The full story of Élan will be told here as it opens.
