A Winter Wedding at The Stone Cellar
There is something about winter on the farm.
The air is crisp, the grass turns golden, and as the sun sets the landscape softens into warm light.
Guests gather with a glass of red wine.
The sound of laughter carries through the reception hall.
A winter wedding is different.
More intimate. More relaxed. More about being together.
At The Stone Cellar, winter weddings feel deeply personal. A weekend spent celebrating with the people who matter most.
We’ll email you the PDF and a few helpful planning notes. No spam. No pressure. Just honest information to help you decide if The Stone Cellar is the right wedding venue for you.
A Venue Designed for Winter Gatherings
Winter brings a special atmosphere to the farm.
The reception hall becomes warm and inviting as candlelight reflects off the wooden beams and stone walls. Blankets are brought out. Guests move easily between the indoor spaces and the boma fire under the stars.
It is the kind of setting where conversations linger and the evening unfolds naturally.
A Weekend Celebration
Most couples choose to make their wedding a full weekend on the farm.
Friday afternoon arrivals allow everyone to settle in. Families gather, friends reconnect, and the celebrations begin long before the ceremony.
On Saturday, the ceremony takes place surrounded by the Suikerbosrand landscape, followed by dinner, speeches and dancing.
Instead of rushing through one day, winter weddings at The Stone Cellar unfold slowly over a full weekend together.

Seasonal Food & Warm Hospitality
Winter menus lend themselves beautifully to shared meals and generous flavours.
Think slow-cooked dishes, hearty sides, warm puddings and long tables filled with food meant to be enjoyed together.
Many couples also add small winter touches:
- Glühwein or hot chocolate on arrival
- Soup for starters
- Blankets for guests during the ceremony
- Fires lit at the outdoor boma
The atmosphere becomes relaxed, welcoming and deeply memorable.
Winter Wedding Availability
Winter weddings take place between June and August, when the farm landscape turns golden and the evenings invite fires, candlelight and long celebrations indoors.
Because winter is outside peak wedding season, the venue hire is also lower than summer dates.
For couples who love the idea of a cosy farm celebration with their closest people, winter is a beautiful time to marry.
Accommodation on the Farm
The Stone Cellar can accommodate up to 44 guests on the farm, allowing close family and friends to stay for the full weekend.
The neighbouring farm can accommodate up to 30 guests.
Waking up together on the farm the morning after the wedding is often one of the most memorable parts of the celebration.
