The Best Of The Johannesburg Wedding Venues For Up To 500 Guests

The recession has not been kind to most people and everybody is looking to cut costs, including people looking for Johannesburg wedding venues.  However, this does not mean that the wedding venue should be second-rate; rather, it means that unnecessary wastage is eliminated and considering our accident rates and fuel prices, travelling has become both a major risk and a major expense.  Johannesburg residents looking for a wedding venue have thus started to research venues closer to the city.

Johannesburg Disadvantages

However, the city of Johannesburg is a frantic and bustling metropolis at the best of times and a somewhat dangerous and gridlocked concrete jungle at the worst of times, so most people want to get away from the city when they get married.  Consequently, it becomes a quest to find a happy medium and you could be forgiven for believing that it is nigh impossible to find a venue close to the city that also does justice to the spirit of celebration a wedding deserves.

A Natural Haven – 11 km from the Johannesburg CBD

Therefore, it is important to mention the existence of the Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve, just south of Johannesburg and our beautiful eco lodge situated within the reserve – surely one of the best Johannesburg wedding venues you are ever likely to find.  Few people are aware of this spectacularly beautiful, 600-hectare nature reserve on the doorstep of the Johannesburg city centre.  If you had thought the three-hundred-plus-hectare Central Park in New York is an oddity within a city environment, Klipriviersberg – at double the size – is truly remarkable.

The decision to build an eco lodge on it, as well as expansive conference facilities, a day spa and what is surely one of the best Johannesburg wedding venues, was therefore truly visionary and has created a natural haven in the midst of Africa's business powerhouse.  No longer do your guests have to travel into the countryside for hundreds of kilometres to find a lodge and you may find that many more of your guests are able to attend your wedding because it is so close to the city.
