BOOK YOUR WEDDING

FOR THE BRIDAL COUPLE

  • Can I bring my own drinks or alcohol?

    We are a fully licensed premises, so you need to purchase all of your drinks through us. You can bring wine and champagne for R65 per bottle corkage by arrangement (current wine corkage rate). Any pre-drinks, cocktails, juice, punches, or other drinks must be organised and purchased through Mountainview Game Ranch. Your guests are not to bring their own drinks and pour them from their rooms or cars during your wedding. If they do, their drinks will be confiscated and they can collect them from the bar when it closes. Please make sure your guests understand this.


    We also charge a ‘beerage’ for craft beer, which is currently R30/L of craft beer. If you would like to bring in a keg of G&T or something else, please talk to us about the cost this would be.

  • Do you have ice buckets?

    Yes, we do have ice buckets for use on the tables. Ice used during the reception is covered by the venue fee.

  • Do we have to organise wood for the fires?

    3 barrel loads of firewood for the reception fires in the Boma area is included in the venue hire fee. Everything over this is charged at R65 p/barrel. We will keep your fire going throughout the evening.

  • What if it is raining on my wedding day?

    Unfortunately, the weather is the one thing we cannot control. In the event that it is raining, we will discuss a plan B with you with regards to your pre-drinks. You can make a call right at the last minute as it doesn’t take long to set up an alternative pre-drinks site.

    You will need to confirm and pay for the number of guests that you have for catering 30 days before your wedding day.

Once we have received this, we will email you the invoice for catering and your final venue feesÍž along with any accommodation you have booked. The invoice will need to be paid no later than 14 days before your wedding date.
