Riverside Country Estate sits on the banks of the Blesbokspruit, Gauteng's only Ramsar-listed wetland. The indigenous trees, birdsong, and open water create a ceremony setting that genuinely can't be recreated anywhere else in the province.
We host everything from 30-person garden ceremonies to 350-guest receptions in Wisteria Hall. Our coordinators manage every detail on the day, so your experience is relaxed even though nothing has been left to chance.
We're 45 minutes from Johannesburg on the N17. Close enough for everyone to make it, far enough that it actually feels like a proper occasion.
