Imagine saying “I do” surrounded by the peaceful beauty of a lush forest just outside Pretoria. Galagos Country Estate offers a truly enchanting and private venue that feels like a fairytale come to life. This unique spot combines natural charm with elegant architecture, creating the perfect romantic backdrop for couples who want a memorable wedding away from the city’s hustle and bustle.

Flexible Ceremony and Reception Spaces Tailored to You

Whether you picture an intimate outdoor ceremony or a stylish indoor celebration, Galagos has options to fit your vision. Choose from two stunning chapels to exchange your vows:

• The Bush Chapel: An open-air space nestled in the forest, ideal for couples dreaming of a true woodland wedding experience.
• The Tree Top Chapel: This air-conditioned chapel features large windows and balconies overlooking the treetops. It offers a grand staircase for a dramatic entrance and a ramp to ensure all guests can join comfortably.

For your reception, the estate’s banquet hall welcomes 150 to 200 guests with its warm wooden floors, soaring roof, and twinkling fairy lights—setting a festive and inviting mood. If you’re planning a larger celebration, the estate’s biggest venue can host up to 240 guests, giving you plenty of flexibility.
