Corkwood

A Charming, Flexible Venue to Bring Your Wedding Vision to Life

Located in the peaceful countryside of Walkerville, just south of Johannesburg, Corkwood offers modern couples an affordable and unique wedding venue. Once a horse show ground, this space has been thoughtfully transformed into a versatile, self-catering facility that creates a relaxed and beautiful atmosphere for your big day. Its focus on flexibility and budget-friendly options makes Corkwood perfect for couples who want to be hands-on in planning and designing a wedding that truly reflects their style.

Event Spaces That Fit Your Wedding Size and Style

Corkwood comfortably hosts weddings ranging from intimate gatherings to mid-sized celebrations. Key details include:

• Main indoor area seating up to 120 guests for your reception.
• Option to add a permanent marquee alongside the main building, expanding capacity to 200 guests.
• Beautiful garden grounds featuring a gazebo—ideal for outdoor ceremonies and stunning photos.
• Peaceful surroundings where guests can relax and mingle under mature trees.

Your Wedding, Your Way: Embrace the Self-Catering Freedom

What makes Corkwood stand out is its “blank canvas” approach. You have full control to choose your own caterers, décor, and suppliers, ensuring every detail matches your vision. To support your planning, the venue offers:

• A fully equipped kitchen with stoves and freezers for on-site meal prep.
• Braai (barbecue) facilities for a laid-back catering option.
• An on-site children’s play area to keep little guests happily entertained.
• The convenience of hiring crockery, cutlery, and other essentials directly from the venue.

Easy to Reach, Yet Peacefully Secluded

Perfectly positioned between Johannesburg and Vereeniging, Corkwood is just a 15-minute drive from Southgate. This means your guests can enjoy a serene countryside setting without straying far from Gauteng’s main urban hubs—combining convenience with tranquility for your special day.
