It will appeal to…
MolenVliet Wedding Venue is what we call an all-in-one venue. There are separate houses for the Bridal and Grooms preparations, countless ceremony options and an amazing main wedding hall for the reception. Having everything in one place, with so many options means you do not have to waste any time in travelling from or between your preps venue or ceremony location. Furthermore, the main reception hall is a blank canvas that can be transformed to fit in with just about any theme you want.

Ceremony Options at Molenvliet Wedding Venue
When it comes to spaces for wedding ceremonies, Molenvliet Wedding Venue has plenty to offer.
- The lawn of the Manor House – This beautiful outdoor setting is surrounded by huge established oak trees and perfectly manicured gardens and flanked by the Manor House. The driveway up to the manor house offers the perfect bridal car entrance and reveal.
- The lawn at the entrance fountain – similarly surrounded by beautiful gardens and close to the cottages and guest parking.
- The Lawn in the middle of the Vineyards – Imagine getting married right in the middle of the vineyards with river and mountain views!
- The Ageing Cellar that can accommodate up to 150 guests seated cinema-style. This venue is perfect for adverse weather conditions and is located right next to the reception venue.
One of my favourite traditions at Molenvliet is for the bride and groom to lead their wedding guests down the hill to the reception venue. The short, magical walk takes you through through the estate on a oak tree lined road the opens up into “The Street”, a road that runs through the scenic main block of vineyards.

Pre-dinner Drinks Spaces
All of the ceremony areas mentioned above can double up as outdoor pre-drinks areas. But added to that are also:
- The patio next to the reception venue – with views over the vineyards and Dwarsrivier that runs through the venue, this deck is my favourite. It is close to the bar, kitchen and ablution facilities but you still have that fantastic outdoor feel.
- The courtyard in front of the reception hall, this enclosed space with an open roof in the middle and covered perimeter can also be covered with a stretch tent for wet weather conditions. The perfect backup plan!
My favourite is the lawn in the middle of the vineyards! Just imagine sipping your bubbly while surrounded by vineyards and mountains while listening to some fine live entertainment and enjoying the company of your closest family and friends.

Reception Options
Molenvliet offers plenty of versatile reception spaces:
- The Main Venue with its “all-white” Colonial meets Cape Dutch style is designed to adapt to any wedding or event, without it ever looking the same. It is the perfect blank canvas! But apart from this main hall that can accommodate up to 250 guests. The rectangular shape means you can apply a multitude of floor plans so that no one wedding will look the same as the other. The hall also boasts with a very spacious modern bar area and a guest lounge with permanent furniture. Both areas are finished off with stylish checkered flooring.
- The open-air Courtyard, that overlooks the veranda and deck facing the Vineyards, this is perfect for smaller functions or can be utilised as a dance floor when the venue is at full pax.
- The Patio next to the venue – If you are looking for an open-air setting with all the convenience of the adjacent indoor space then this is a good option. This area is for great for smaller wedding parties and intimate weddings.
- The Vineyard lawns van be used to erect a marquee – Imagine a clear tent in summer and partying the night away under the stars!
