The town
Stellenbosch has the widest choice of wedding venues in the Winelands. Estates along the Helshoogte Pass, Jonkershoek and the Polkadraai Hills offer everything from vineyard lawns to restored Cape Dutch manor houses. It is close to Cape Town International Airport, so it is the easiest base for overseas guests, and the town has plenty of accommodation at every price.

A legal ceremony is performed by a registered marriage officer and is registered with Home Affairs. A symbolic ceremony has no legal effect, so many overseas couples sign the legal papers at home and have a symbolic ceremony in the Winelands.
It depends on the size of the wedding and what is included, and most suppliers quote per wedding rather than publishing a rate card. Send the same brief (date, venue, guest count, hours needed) to three or four suppliers and compare what each quote includes, including VAT and travel.
