My top 3 wedding venues in Gauteng

So you just got engaged, congrats by the way! Now it is time to pick a venue. When it comes to choosing a venue there are many things to consider. Especially the style of images and video that you want captured. If you are looking for light and airy photographs then choosing a venue that is known for being dark will not be the best fit for you and vice versa.

Next you will want to look at the pricing and packages that a venue has to offer. For instance some venues' price differs from others due to additional accommodation, time spent at the venue and other services that are available. Another important factor when choosing a venue is whether you'll want to take photos outside of the venues location. Choosing the right location for that can lead to less travel time and more time getting your beautiful photographs taken.

Choosing the right venue is so important because you will be spending the majority of your wedding day there. That is why I have listed my top 3 wedding venues in Gauteng, South Africa that I have shot at over the course of my wedding photography career.

Lieu De Grace, Venue Krugersdorp South Africa.

Lieu De Grace is an industrial chic wedding venue complete with accomodation, reception and chapel. I have to say Lieu De Grace has been one of my favourite venues to photograph due to their unique chapel, offering beautiful soft light. Not only will you look stunning but for those people who are plant befokked you will be walking down the aisle surrounded by the most gorgeous plant feature. Another aspect about the venue is that outside the reception hall they have a patio where grass grows between square cut stone, perfect for the cocktail hour with the added awesomeness of getting drinks served from a VW Kombi. Just before you thought it could get any better they have a large stretch of grass lawn where you can let the little ones tire themselves out if your guests have any children with them. So if you love the light and airy vibe, plants are your thing, and have guest who have children then this is the veue for you!

Reception: 20-180 seated guests

Accomodation: 6 double (2 people) rooms and 2 family rooms (2 adults and 2 children). En suite bathroom.

Cussonia Crest, Magaliesburg, Gauteng, South Africa

Nestled into the Magaliesberg mountain range, Cussonia Crest offers a wide variety of venue options for you. Whether you want an indoor chapel, outdoors under the most beautiful oak tree and on top of a mountain. From wedding planning, coordination and design. They also know a guy for your wedding cake! They got you! Plus they can accommodate up to 32 people with their suites.

Reception seats: 50 - 200 people.

Accomodation: 32 people

Avianto, Krugersdorp Gauteng South Africa

Probably one of South Africa's most prestigious wedding venue. With 6 venues to choose from, 30 luxury rooms, a café and massage treatments it surely makes a very strong case for the statement in the first sentence. Avianto has a rustic charm that one can find in the italian countryside but in South Africa. And a 30 minute drive from Sandton. If your vibe is understated luxury... then this is for you!
