So, my wife and I will be flying in from London to Joburg in December. We're already married, but we got married in England with a small wedding, and my family hasn't really had a chance to meet my wife. Also, we'll have an 8 month old baby by December.

I would like to organise a wedding, or rather a blessing of our marriage, for December. Something like the 16th of December.

I'm looking for a wedding venue which is let's say max 2 hours from Joburg, has an altar or a chapel, and accommodation on site. Something like a farm or rustic feel would be great, game farm would probably be ideal depending on cost.

Probably 80-100 people (guests), with some staying on site. How many staying on site? Kinda as many as we can fit. Something like 20-30 on site minimum?

We won't be able to check the venue out before we attend, but I might ask family to do this for us.

Budget? Let's say I'd hope to keep this under R120k including everything. Like including DJ and photographer, food, alles.

It seems you've missed your flight by a whole month - maybe more! Better set a reminder next time.

Oh well, here's to new beginnings. . .

December 2023 in case it wasn't clear...
 
Take a look at Avianto, Misty Hills, Oakfield farm etc… there’s a few good venues in Muldersdrift area. Or Thaba Ya Batswana in Jhb South. Fourways has Indaba Hotel.

Dont think they did weddings as "small" as 80 people. Could be wrong, it was a long time ago that I checked
Yeah, they have multiple venues ... we used the big one (220 guests), the smaller chapel I think is up to 100 pax
 
White light near lanseria really depens on your "vibe"

 
How much do the following usually cost for a wedding? Like rough ballpark.
Flowers and decorations
Wedding photographer
DJ

What's a good bar tab for a wedding? R10k? R20k?
