WEDDINGS AT
THE GREENHOUSE CAFÉ
The Greenhouse Café is the quintessential wedding venue – a fusion between natural light and simple eco-elegance. Each space was thoughtfully envisioned and crafted to ensure that guests are delighted at every turn. The contrast between unique architecture and the natural surrounds make for spectacularly framed views.
Celebrate your union surrounded by up to 160 guests. Create lingering memories – your family and friends will have access to any of the various activities and experiences Rosemary Hill Farm has to offer.
There are a number of qualities about a Greenhouse Café wedding that have contributed to our reputation as one of the premier wedding venues in Gauteng:
• Situated on a working farm, our facilities are authentic and each wedding is truly unique.
• We do not host back-to-back weddings, therefore you will have access to the reception venue the day before to start set-up.
• Complimentary Bridal Room available from 7am for the bride and her entourage to get ready in.
• Complimentary Groom’s Room available from 9am for the Groom and his men to get ready in.

THE CHAPEL
Perched on a hill, this open-air chapel blends artful steelwork with the raw beauty of nature, offering unparalleled vistas of the lush farm. The perfect setting to express your love amidst the rustling leaves of surrounding forests, creating an ambiance of romance and extraordinary beauty.
THE DECK AND BOMA
As the sun dips below the horizon, treat your guests to a breathtaking sundowner and canapé reception on The Deck, surrounded by beautiful lawns and trees. Guests can meander through the manicured gardens, where every step reveals a new picturesque scene.
THE CONSERVATORY
Our pièce de résistance, the Conservatory is an architectural marvel inspired by the beauty and function of greenhouses. This airy space is flooded with natural diffused light from the translucent southern roof, while the solid northern roof offers protection from the summer sun. Vertical gardens and hanging plants breathe life into the space, complemented by custom designed wooden tables and ghost chairs. At night, the soft glow of 90 low-hanging lightbulbs sets a romantic tone for an unforgettable celebration.
