Another Option: Saxenburg

Last weekend we had a wonderful family lunch at The Guinea Fowl restaurant at Saxenburg Wine Estate. The weather was quite gloomy and otherwise not very 'wedding' but the events coordinator managed to create such a beautiful picture, we could already see ourselves there.

The inside has fairy lights everywhere and tiffany chairs, so quite posh. As for the food - wow - our lunch was phenomenal! Not only this but the many menu options available for our reception are just incredible. We would probably have a buffet as this gives guests more choices.




As for the ceremony area, they have installed a permanent wire gazebo with a rose lined aisle. Very pretty! It is outside the big manor and is really picturesque.

The only downside was that there are only cottages available to stay in on the night and they are separate to the venue i.e. managed by the wine estate. Constantia Uitsig has a hotel and a spa on site, which I do prefer.
