Affordable Wedding Venues In South Africa's Gauteng Province

If you are looking for affordable wedding venues in South Africa, keep in mind that there are many factors influencing the affordability of a venue and not just the rates being charged.  Certainly, the rates have to be reasonable, but there are many other things that can inflate the total costs and one of the most important factors is travel costs.  It is of little use that a wedding venue offers eminently affordable rates but you have to travel 300 km to get there.  A wedding venue cannot claim to present a sound financial compromise unless all the factors balance out to achieve a competitive total financial outlay.

The Cost Inflators

Therefore, it is prudent to ask several questions to ascertain a venue's claim as one of the most affordable wedding venues in South Africa.  These factors are the main cost inflators:

·         The first thing, of course, is the rates being charged

·         Travelling is a big cost inflator, so if the wedding venue is far away, you have to consider the cost and risk for yourself and your guests in getting there.  This also holds true for scenarios where the wedding ceremony and reception are not in the same place, requiring yet more travelling between venues

·         Accommodation is another cost inflator and since many of your guest may wish to stay over after the reception (especially those who have travelled far to your wedding), accommodation off-site will once again mean yet more travelling – and the accommodation may not even be that affordable

·         Catering is a cost inflator too and your venue should be able to assist you with reasonable catering services on-site

·         Lastly, time is money, so you can add more costs to all of the above that requires a lot of time, like the travelling to the venue and between the venues and accommodation

Affordable Wedding Venues in South Africa that Offer an Entire Package Deal

In the end, it is all about the total package, so your wedding venue of choice should be able to perform well on all counts and offer you a package deal that makes financial sense, all-in.  You may find yourself opting for a more expensive venue, simply because everything is in one place, or the catering is very affordable, or there is a church on-site, rendering a financially sound proposition.  Of course, it may not be all that easy to find a venue that meets all these requirements.

We are pleased to offer our venue as one of the most complete packages and therefore, one of the most affordable wedding venues in South Africa.  We address the cost inflators in the following ways:

·         Firstly, our rates are eminently reasonable and we also offer a wide choice of wedding reception venues, from small intimate facilities for fewer than 100 people to facilities easily accommodating 500

·         Secondly, our wedding venue is ideally situated for Johannesburg residents, being a mere 11 km away from the city centre, yet our location in the beautiful, 600-hectare Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve makes it feel as if we are in a remote location, far from civilisation

·         Thirdly, we offer luxurious, yet affordable, 4-star accommodation in a choice of 52 different suites, including wheelchair-friendly units and optional, interleading family units

·         Fourthly, our catering services offer superb cuisine for a guest compliment of any size, courtesy of our professional chefs and variety of menus – also at very affordable rates

·         Lastly, you stand to save a lot of time when you book our wedding venue, because everything you need is on-site, from the church (accommodating 180 people) to the reception venue and accommodation
