Our Favourite Wedding Venues in Cape Town

8 of Our Favourite Wedding Venues in Cape Town:

We have put together a list of some of our favourite wedding venues in Cape Town for you (in no particular order). These are all wedding venues that we have created weddings at, and have loved every minute working at these various places for one reason or another. We love being able to recommend a venue when we’re familiar with it, the staff, the working procedures, and when we know that it is a venue that is accommodating, not only of the Bride and Groom and all their varying requests, but also of the very important suppliers and the value which they add to the day, by providing a favourable working environment where we can create and make pretty. 

1. The Lanzerac Estate and Spa

Lanzerac is one of those venues that just has it all…the mountains, the vineyards, the rolling lawns, the Cape-Dutch architecture, the Spa, the gorgeous rooms, the multiple venues within the estate that all provide breathtaking backdrops to a couple’s special day in luxurious comfort.

2. Hidden Valley Wine Estate

This is a venue which just makes your heart jump. Tucked on the hillside, surrounded by fynbos and blended beautifully architecturally into the landscape, it boasts incredible vistas of the rolling hills and vineyards that surround it. It has both an indoor cellar or garden terrace as ceremony options, a wrap-around veranda for a covered outdoor reception and with the most spectacular food and wine one could ever wish for it truly is a dream venue.

3. Cape Point Vineyards

It’s not often that you can be nestled on the side of a mountain, flanked by vineyards AND have an uninterrupted view of an endless sandy beach and rolling waves in the distance. The setting of the Cape Point Vineyards is a truly remarkable one with innumerable opportunities for timeless wedding photographs and a perfectly refurbished reception venue that includes just about all you need for 160 guests.

4. Catharina’s Restaurant at Steenberg

This is perfect for more intimate celebrations. From 24 guests in a private dining room to 90 seated for exclusive use of the restaurant, it celebrates both an award-winning menu and wine list, carefully selected and suitable for every palette. I love the elegantly decorated booths with moody lighting in the bar for welcome drinks and the freshness of the contemporary interiors in the dining area, a perfect canvas for wedding flowers. This is a venue for the discerning Bride and Groom who are looking for a stand out venue that offers an exclusive experience all round.

5. Bona Dea Private Estate

This is an exceptional venue that offers the complete package from start to finish. When you enter the gates at its unbelievably beautiful location in the Hemel and Aarde valley you really do feel like you’ve discovered a piece of heaven. They have a full range of items available to hire, all selected to compliment the interiors and decor of the building, including thousands of fairy lights and their gorgeous ghost chairs. Our experiences here have been nothing short of incredible and to have such a remarkable space to work in as their banquet hall has really been a privilege.

6. Jonkershuis Groot Constantia

For couples looking for a local but traditional wine farm experience, surrounded by historical vineyards and a menu steeped in Cape Malay heritage, Jonkershuis in the core of the Groote Constantia Wine Estate is the place to be. Able to accommodate both smaller, more intimate celebrations as well as a formal sit down for 250 guests, this restaurant has a variety of locations suitable for any need. We love the authenticity of the place, the thatched roofs and rolling lawns.

7. Tintswalo Atlantic

Situated in one of South Africa’s eight World Heritage sites, Tintswalo Atlantic is a chic, 5-star luxury guest lodge at the foot of Chapman’s Peak. It is tucked away on a private stretch of beach with views across to the Sentinel and Hout Bay. Each suite is uniquely appointed and the warmth of the homely but stylish decor is both inviting and relaxing. It provides a setting nothing short of special for truly memorable occasions.

We did Christine and Bekircan’s wedding at Tintswalo Atlantic. Have a look here to see our blog on their wedding day.

8. MolenVliet

We fell in love with Molenvliet the moment we laid eyes on it. The grandeur of the double-volume banquet hall with it’s crystal chandeliers and white beams and all the opportunity this incredible space invites excites us. We love that everything falls away around the ceremony lawn making you feel as if you’re perched on top of the world with the distant mountain peaks as your audience – the way every bride and groom should feel on their wedding day. It has so many different areas where guests can celebrate. We love the comfy couches the lounges offer and the long deck overlooking the vineyards for pre-drinks and canapes. There is a host of accommodation available too for the wedding party and family, after all, who would want to leave this place anyway?!

We were really excited when a couple recently approached us to do their wedding flowers and coordination at The Lanzerac Hotel and Spa in Stellenbosch. It was our first time working at this beautiful venue, steeped in history and breathtakingly picturesque. Nestled in the Jonkershoek valley, surrounded by the Helderberg mountains, this Hotel and Spa is situated on a private wine estate with rows of perfectly manicured vines, rolling lawns and award-winning landscaped gardens. The crisp-white Cape Dutch style buildings are monumental in their appearance and speak of the heritage that bestows this 300 year old farm.

We were put in touch with Denise who, from the start, was professional in all aspects her coordination of all the details of this large wedding and our minds, and those of the bride and groom, were put at rest that every last thing would be well taken care. We were not disappointed and absolutely everything was on point as expected, on the day, as well as in the build up to the wedding. We were really impressed with the level of excellence with which every service was carefully carried out. As a wedding supplier and one that places a huge emphasis on great service, quality and experience, The Rose Cafe highly recommends The Lanzerac as a venue of choice for Brides and Grooms.
