Nestled in the heart of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, The Groves offers a picturesque and elegant setting for weddings in South Africa. Surrounded by rolling hills and lush greenery, this sought-after venue perfectly blends rustic charm with refined style, making it ideal for couples who want a romantic and personalised celebration.

Versatile Ceremony and Reception Spaces at The Groves

The Groves features multiple ceremony options to suit your vision. Choose a timeless indoor ceremony in the handcrafted stone and wood chapel or opt for an outdoor service on the magical Orchard River Deck, which overlooks the tranquil Mpofana River. With space for up to 200 guests, the main reception hall showcases modern interiors with screed floors, black-framed mirrors, and a crystal chandelier, all anchored by a striking stone-clad fireplace.

Large glass doors open onto a terrace adorned with lavender and a Mediterranean-style water feature. A fire pit and ambient lighting set the scene for relaxed evenings under the stars.

Pre-Reception Elegance and On-Site Accommodation

Before the reception, guests can mingle at The Stables—a charming, undercover stable block offering rustic décor, cosy seating, and a relaxed atmosphere. It’s perfect for live music, champagne toasts, and pre-dinner canapés.

Couples seeking a full-service Midlands wedding venue will appreciate the luxurious on-site Manor House. It accommodates up to 16 guests in seven well-appointed bedrooms, offering both self-catering and full-service options. This allows for a seamless experience from the night before the wedding through to the morning after.
