Planning a destination wedding near Johannesburg

A destination wedding does not have to mean a long-haul flight and a fortnight away. For couples marrying from across South Africa, and for those planning from abroad, STAY offers the feeling of somewhere far away with the convenience of somewhere close.

Easy to reach, easy to stay

STAY sits on the Wedding Mile of Johannesburg in Muldersdrift: fourteen kilometres from Lanseria International Airport, twenty-nine from Sandton and twenty-two from Fourways. Guests arriving from other cities or other countries land close and settle quickly.

Once here, they need not leave. On-estate accommodation sleeps fifty-two, across eleven STAY Suites, ten Luxury Pool Villas, and the Dusk, Dawn and Grand Lunar Suites. A wedding becomes a weekend: an evening that ends by the pool rather than at a hotel checkout, and a morning after spent together in the quiet of the veld.

Planning from afar

For couples who cannot visit in person before booking, STAY arranges virtual viewings of the estate and quotes in your currency, so the numbers make sense whether you are working in rand, pounds, euros, dollars or dirham. Our Design Your Day studio lets you shape a date, a guest count and a catering package from anywhere in the world, and see a live estimate as you go.

One place, one weekend

The great advantage of a venue with its own accommodation is that everything happens in one place. The ceremony beneath the open sky, the dinner under a string of light, the first dance, and the slow breakfast the next day all unfold on the same estate. Your guests unpack once and are present for all of it.

If you are marrying from abroad, or simply want your closest people gathered in one place, arrange a virtual viewing and we will walk you through the estate.
