Ceremony and Reception

The venue has two beautiful outdoor ceremony options. You can either exchange vows on the lawn stretched beside the lake or tie the knot on the deck next to the dam.  The venue provides stylish church pews for ceremony seating, bringing a bit of formal into this mostly natural setting.  For a more traditional church ceremony, we have listed a few local churches for your consideration:

• Anglican – St Michael & All Angels – Old Cape Road, Grabouw
• Catholic – Our Lady of Grabouw – 6 Caledon Street, Grabouw
• Dutch Reformed – NGK Grabouw – Hofmeyer Street, Grabouw

The lawn area can also double up as a mingling area for guests after the ceremony.  They can chill out here while playing lawn games like French Boule, Giant Jenga.  At one of our featured weddings the couple even had table tennis set up here!

The Barn can accommodate intimate weddings of up to 65 guests, or even a bigger party if you choose the communal feast options such as a buffet or braai-style dinner.  Even in this main reception area, the earthy / arty theme is followed through.   The venue comes with unique, long rectangular wooden tables and modern, custom wooden chairs, so no need to hire in any dining  furniture for the wedding reception.  And for those brisk winter weddings, there is a lovely fireplace to warm up the place.  Unfortunately no outdoor dancefloors are allowed in respect of the neighbours.
