Reinhard has been the event coordinator at the estate for 15 years though Neethlingshof has been a wedding venue for around 20-25 years. “It’s a venue that lends itself to any kind of wedding.” Says Reinhard. “The gardens are truly beautiful to hold a ceremony in, with a view over the vineyards and to the mountains which makes for excellent photos.” “We have very competitive rates and in essence, are a one-stop shop for your wedding needs as Brides can make use of our coordinating function. For the D.I.Y Bride, we have an extensive supplier list to assist with making the right choices but we really do bend over backwards to offer the best service.” The reception room itself can fit up to 140 people and has recently modernized to include a cleaner look with white tiffany chairs, draping and tables. It’s a classical wedding venue. Whether you want your wedding in the morning, at lunch time or in the evening, the catering will fit around your needs. Buffets are their most favourable option but they offer sit down dinners and even canapés. There are a couple of guest houses in the vicinity which can be utilized for a wedding with only a short drive in between. On the best month to get married at the estate, Reinhard says, "We do stunning Winter weddings as we have a huge fireplace that lends itself to those cold months. We also offer discount prices so it is very advantageous to get married in Winter." If you need any more persuasion, just take a visit to the estate and admire; the drive way is quite simply epic.
