Wedding Planning
10 Tips for Planning Your Dream Wedding at Riverside
From setting the date to choosing your flowers, our senior coordinator Hein shares the inside tips that make planning a joy rather than a stress.
Read moreRiverside Country Estate is Gauteng's only Ramsar wetland wedding venue, hosting celebrations for 30 to 350 guests in Springs, 45 minutes from Johannesburg and 30 minutes from OR Tambo International Airport. Three ceremony and reception spaces — the Open Air Chapel, Willow Hall, and Wisteria Hall — sit on the banks of the Blesbokspruit, Gauteng's only Ramsar-listed wetland.
Where Nature Meets Elegance
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.
