Wedding setting at Waterford Estate

The celebration

Your day at Waterford Estate

Celebrate with exclusive use of Waterford Estate, with the vineyards and the Helderberg as your backdrop. The ceremony, drinks and reception can each have their own setting on the estate, with a menu made for you by the Waterford kitchen and the estate's own wines. Contact Wine in the Cape for availability and a tailored quote.

Exclusive Use

The estate closes to the public for your wedding, so you have it to yourselves from setup in the morning to the last dance. You can choose different spots across the property for the vows, photos, drinks and dinner.

Food & Wine

The Waterford Estate Restaurant creates a menu to suit you, with a tasting before it's finalised. Only Waterford wines are served, and unopened bottles can be taken home. Spirits and cocktails can be added with a hired mobile bar.

Planning Your Day

A wedding coordinator is required and works with the estate's events manager. Tables, chairs, staff, décor, flowers and tableware are brought in by your coordinator, and the estate can recommend photographers, florists, cake makers, hair and make-up artists and bar services. The estate is not halaal or kosher certified, but certified outside caterers can be arranged.

Where to Stay

The Loft, above the tasting room, is a two-bedroom retreat for up to four, ideal for the couple or close family the night before or after. Guesthouses and hotels nearby can host the rest of your guests. ##Plan Your Wedding Waterford is on Upper Blaauwklippen Road outside Stellenbosch. Wine in the Cape can arrange your quote, site visit and guest transport.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Yes — the Cape Winelands is one of the world's most sought-after wedding destinations, with estates offering everything from intimate vineyard ceremonies to grand cellar receptions. Each venue page shows what's possible.

Most do. You'll often marry among the vines or in a garden, then move to a cellar or banqueting hall for the reception — all on one estate, so no guest travel in between.

Many estates offer suites and cottages for the wedding party and overnight guests. Where they don't, we'll arrange nearby stays and keep the whole party close.

Absolutely — welcome tastings, vineyard tours and post-wedding brunches are a beautiful way to extend the celebration. Tell us your plans and we'll weave them in.
