Weddings
A view overlooking the dam with the Maluti and Witteberg Mountains in the background sets the tone for an unforgettable weekend on an apple and cherry farm for your exclusive event.
A passionate management team with the mission to create dream weddings ensure a memorable occasion for your special day.
At a private Bridal and Groom Suite, the couples can make all the necessary preparations before the ceremony begins. The bride and her wedding party will commence with a beautiful walkway over the dam from the Bridal Suite, where the family member or friend will be waiting to hand her over to her husband-to-be. This tranquil staging area sets the mood and tempo for the wedding.
Outside weddings are very popular with options on
- the lush grass surrounding the aisle and the dam with the beautiful sandstone mountains. If your ceremony is on the deck over the dam, the guests will have a breath-taking view of the Maluti mountains being the ceremony’s backdrop.
- In the Cherry Orchards which will charm your guest and will provide an experience they will never forget:
- with beautiful white blossoms or ripe cherries or
- with the beautiful orange and brown leaves in autumn.
- In the event of rain, we have a plan B with the ceremony that will be held in the Sandstone Chapel with the dam and mountains as a beautiful backdrop.
Following the ceremony, your guests will be escorted to the covered outdoor patio of the Venue where the cocktail and canape hour will be held. It is here that your guests will socialize with appetizers and welcoming beverages while overlooking the dam and taking in the sun as it sets over the Witteberg Mountains and the Maluti Mountains.
Once the bride and groom are ready to be announced, your guests will be directed to our Reception Area for seating arrangements. Here, your party will toast, dine on preparations from our chef, and dance, while having access to a cash bar situated in the corner of the venue.
