WHY WE LOVE IT
Tucked away between the sweeping mountain landscapes of the Witzenberg Valley, Olive Rock is a versatile, contemporary venue that has become known as much for its warm welcome as it has for its breathtaking panoramas. The multi-level modern space is the epitome of stylish simplicity, allowing the landscape to speak for itself, and for couples to put their own stamp on their décor and design. Owners Nick and Simone – themselves married on the farm – are the heart of the operation, and chef Nick’s culinary talents ensure that guests are sent home with full bellies and happy smiles. There are both indoor and outdoor ceremony and reception options to choose from, including a Bedouin marquee. And with over 800 beds available locally and plenty of fun activities for guests to enjoy pre- or post-wedding, don’t be surprised if you want to stay forever.

FROM OUR REAL COUPLES
“The moment we saw Olive Rock, we fell in love with the natural beauty and tranquillity. It was exactly what we had envisioned – the dramatic mountain backdrop, the ceremony area under a tree, the grassy riverbed with dappled shade to enjoy drinks and lawn games, and the outdoor reception area where we could share a meal with our guests under strings of bistro lights. The owners personally manage every wedding on their family farm, with Nick creating the most amazing dishes in the kitchen, and his wife Simone co-ordinating everything on the day.” – Megan & Nick
“Our must-have list for a venue included a back-up venue in case it rained, the ability to have both the ceremony and reception in one area, good food with a flexible menu, beautiful views, a blank canvas to work with, flexible times, and nowhere that you would hear any cars or traffic. After visiting 22 venues the only place that ticked all the boxes for us was the gorgeous Olive Rock and we were so happy with our choice!” – Kerry & Tim
“Both of us fell completely in love with Olive Rock in Wolseley. The Breede River runs through the farm, magnificent mountains surround it and fruit trees provide splashes of colour. Finally, the passion that Nick and Simone have to make every wedding at Olive Rock perfect according to the couple’s personalities and requirements convinced us that this was where we wanted to celebrate our wedding day.” – Mari & Morné
