Sometimes a special occasion demands a particularly beautiful setting. For this reason, Diemersfontein, named best Wedding Venue 2004 at the African Bridal Awards, has been an ever increasingly popular choice for newlyweds to make their vows and to enjoy their honeymoon.
We find that wedding parties that move in a day or so before the ceremony, have a chance to relax and settle in, and stay until breakfast, after the wedding, work best. It is a chance for you to "own" your venue for a while and get to unwind and feel confident in the people and place that will make your day special. Accordingly our wedding package includes the cost of a minimum of ten rooms. (Bride and Groom receive complimentary accommodation) Our wedding co-ordinator can recommend any number of service providers from flowers, free-form coverings and photography to gazebos, draping, decor and music.
Be it a wedding, anniversary, birthday, or any other celebration, Diemersfontein provides the attention to detail and personal service to ensure that your indoor or garden function will be a success, and that you will be able to relax and enjoy yourselves.
Our resident Chef - Johan van Schalkwyk offers a variety of menus that can be tailor-made to suit your specific requirements. Costs of wedding menus start at R200 per person up to R265 per person. Brunch and Lunch Menu's are for weekday and Friday weddings only. Outside caterers are only allowed under exceptional circumstances.
Bar Facilities:
Diemersfontein is fully licensed and a full bar can be set up to your specifications. Diemersfontein offers our own award-winning red and white wine varietals? Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz and Pinotage, Viognier, blends such as Summer's Lease and Heaven's Eye, Thokozani red and white blends and Thokozani Rose. Sparkling wine and champagne may be brought in at R40.00 corkage fee per bottle and Diemersfontein wines are offered to you at special wedding prices. Since we are a wine estate we regret that no other wine may be brought in to your function.
Garden Functions:
Functions in our garden are truly memorable occasions. With the Cape mountains and rolling farmlands as the backdrop, it is perhaps one of the most beautiful places to get married, and enjoy your special event. We can cater for up to 200 people per event staged in the gardens.
Banquet Hall:
Our banqueting venue accommodates 80 people with dancing and 120 people without dancing. Menu prices exclude hire of function hall and gardens. An additional venue hire is charged for tables, chairs, linen, crockery and cutlery. |
