Wedding Venues Pretoria:
15 Reasons Booking with Lethabo Estate in 2025

1. The proximity of your venue and its central positioning to Pretoria is a very important factor to
consider when choosing your ideal wedding venue. Where are your guests coming from, are they
mostly from Pretoria and if they are, are they from the east of Pretoria, or the west? Is there
enough accommodation nearby for overflow guests? This is a most important consideration,
particularly as a wedding is a spiritual ceremony but also a party and guests, more often than not,
have one too many drinks! It is therefore important to know that there are reliable transportation
facilities at hand for your wedding guests when they are leaving your wedding. Lethabo Estate’s
venue is very centrally positioned, close to Johannesburg and Pretoria, Centurion, the North West
Province and most importantly Lanseria airport for wedding guests travelling to get to Pretoria from
far. At Lethabo we offer a conveniently positioned wedding venue with direct airport access and a
short drive into the reserve for guests from major arterial routes.

2. At Lethabo Estate we have been catering for weddings for more than two decades. With the
experience of hundreds of weddings under our belt, we are the perfect choice of venue, with the
right mix of experience to host your wedding.

3. Lethabo is situated in The Crocodile River Reserve which is the closest Nature Reserve to Pretoria.
Officially declared and gazetted as recently as the 2nd October 2019 Lethabo is perfect for nature
lovers who want their wedding photos at a venue next to a beautiful, clean river with wild otters and

antiques and art treasures. The venues interiors have a rich opulent feel, requiring little décor to

Weddings are big business, especially in and around Pretoria! With so many lovely wedding venues near Pretoria to choose from, competition is fierce …and with all these wedding venue choices, it’s really difficult to choose the venue and staff whom you feel confident have the knowledge, experience and flexibility to make weddings, always very special and important occasions, successful. Whether you choose a classic wedding style or a casual picnic wedding party, the day your wedding’s scheduled for must be planned precisely and with minute detail to ensure it is a success.

Since we started hosting wedding celebrations near Pretoria, more than two decades ago, wedding venue trends have changed and like clothing, fashionable wedding trends have turned a full circle. What was not so fashionable a year ago has become ‘de rigeur’ style and form for weddings venues again.

All through the many years that we have hosted wedding celebrations at Lethabo, the outstanding, most important aspect of any successful wedding event, is attention to detail. At Lethabo we have practised and experienced just how much attention is required. Here we delightedly give it our all!
Weddings at Lethabo are fun, joyous affairs for guests, staff and especially you the bride and groom. All this considered, there are so many variables that can make weddings problematic….weather, acts of God, utility failures (haven’t we all cursed ESKOM at some point!), so much so, that as a bridal couple you want to feel assured on your wedding day when you are feeling apprehensive about making your appearance in your finery and feeling emotional about the importance of the commitment you’re about to make, that your wedding venue support team, the people who are in charge of waving their magic wands and spreading pixie dust over the venue, your wedding, its cuisine, ambiance, music and décor… will make yours a magical night and are up to the task!
