We went to a lovely wedding at The Venue. Was totally blown away by the beauty and tranquility of the place. The owner, Mara Fontana, was never off her feet throughout the wedding, making sure that everyone was well looked after and every last item was taken care of. Her attention to detail was incredible, and guests were made to feel special and very welcome. Everywhere you looked there was something beautiful. It was a truly magical evening and I can't recommend it highly enough.

My son got married at this venue - it was an incredible and magical evening - never to be forgotten and still referred to by friends and family as the best wedding they ever attended. People were literally gobsmacked when they entered the venue . Mara is passionate about her business and just loves weddings and all they entail. She is a perfectionist and is involved in all areas - even down to traffic control ! I would unreservedly recommend this Venue. It really needs to be seen in person to be appreciated as no photos do it justice. Another positive point is that it is just 35 minutes away from Durban so guests are not forced to spend a fortune for accommodation to attend the wedding unlike other venues up the coast and in the midlands . Highly recommended.
