  • Basic décor, tables, chairs, and linens.
  • A dedicated wedding coordinator.

Summer (December - February):

The peak season offers warm, dry, and sunny days, perfect for outdoor ceremonies. Vineyards are lush and green. Book well in advance as demand is high.

Autumn (March - May):

A beautiful time of year with mild temperatures and stunning golden-red foliage on the vines. It's a popular choice for its romantic atmosphere and pleasant weather.

Winter (June - August):

The low season offers potential for lower venue fees. It can be cool and rainy, but many hotels have gorgeous indoor spaces with fireplaces, creating a cosy and intimate setting.

Spring (September - November):

The landscape comes alive with blooming flowers. The weather is mild and pleasant, though occasional spring showers are possible.

One of the biggest advantages of a hotel venue is the on-site accommodation. This is incredibly convenient for guests, especially those travelling from afar.

FAQ's

What is the average capacity for hotel wedding venues in the Cape Winelands?

Hotel venues in the Cape Winelands cater to a wide range of sizes. You'll find boutique hotels perfect for intimate weddings of 20-50 guests, as well as larger luxury resorts and wine estates that can comfortably accommodate over 200 guests. Most venues have flexible spaces that can be adapted for your specific guest count.

Do most Cape Winelands hotels require us to use their in-house catering?

Yes, the vast majority of hotel wedding venues require you to use their in-house catering and bar services. This is often a highlight, as the region is known for its exceptional culinary scene and award-winning wines. Packages are typically built around their food and beverage offerings.

Are there noise restrictions or curfews I should be aware of?

Most venues, particularly those located near residential areas or with guest accommodation on-site, have music curfews, typically around 11 PM or midnight. It's crucial to confirm the specific policy with your chosen hotel to ensure it aligns with your reception plans.

Can we have an outdoor ceremony at a hotel venue in the Cape Winelands?

Absolutely. Most hotel venues in the region boast stunning outdoor ceremony locations, such as manicured gardens, terraces with vineyard views, or courtyards shaded by ancient oak trees. They will also always have a beautiful indoor alternative as a backup plan in case of inclement weather.

What is the booking process and deposit requirement for these hotels?

To secure your date, hotels typically require a signed contract and a deposit, which is often 50% of the estimated total cost. The remaining balance is usually due in instalments, with the final payment required a few weeks before the wedding day. The specific terms will be outlined in the venue's contract.

Do hotel venues in the Winelands offer packages that include accommodation for guests?

While wedding packages usually focus on the event itself (venue hire, food, drinks), hotels almost always offer preferential rates for wedding guests who wish to stay overnight. It's common practice to arrange a block booking of rooms for your party at a discounted price.
