A WEDDING AT ROSEMARY HILL OFFERS YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEND A WEEKEND AWAY FROM THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF CITY LIFE, ALLOWING THEM TO RELAX AS THEY CELEBRATE YOUR BIG DAY WITH YOU. WITH OUR EXTENSIVE ACCOMMODATION, YOUR GUESTS CAN ENJOY FARM LIFE, FRESH ORGANIC FOOD, AND ALL THE ACTIVITIES WE HAVE TO OFFER; FROM RENTING A MOUNTAIN BIKE, GOING ON A SEGWAY TOUR OF THE FARM OR PICNIC IN THE MAZE – ROSEMARY HILL IS THE PERFECT ESCAPE!

There are a number of qualities about a Rosemary Hill wedding that have contributed to our reputation as one of the premier wedding venues in Gauteng:

• Situated on a working farm, our facilities are authentic and each wedding is truly unique.
• We do not host back-to-back weddings in the same reception venue, (we have two reception venues for you to choose from – The Barn or The Distillery). You therefore have access to the reception venue the day before the wedding to start set-up.
• Complimentary Bridal Room available from 7am for the bride and her entourage to get ready in.
• Complimentary Groom’s Room available from 9am for the Groom and his men to get ready in.
• We include a Stunning Honeymoon Suite for the night of the wedding.
• You have a 200 – hectare playground at your disposal for taking the most beautiful photos & video.
• Professional DJ service included for your ceremony & reception.
• The Estate boasts accommodation for up to 142 guests and a communal swimming pool.
• Room amenities are natural, made from herbs grown on the farm & essential oils extracted in the Distillery.
• Seasonal Vegetables, Fruit, Herbs & Pecan nuts used in the preparation of your wedding food are organically & bio-dynamically grown right here on the farm.

Please take note of our minimum numbers:

Thursdays: 50
