The Stone Cellar

If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels both authentic and effortlessly beautiful, The Stone Cellar is a standout choice. Nestled on the slopes of the Suikerbosrand River Valley in the peaceful Heidelberg farmlands, this family-owned venue is just a 45-minute drive from Johannesburg. It offers a modern farm-style setting that’s perfect for couples wanting a relaxed yet elegant celebration. The Stone Cellar specializes in weekend-long weddings, giving you and your guests the chance to truly unwind and enjoy every moment together.

Ceremony and Reception Spaces

Whether you picture your ceremony indoors or surrounded by nature, The Stone Cellar has options that will make your day unforgettable. The remodeled milk parlour chapel is a unique indoor space seating up to 150 guests on handcrafted benches and hay bales, all beautifully lit by modern chandeliers. If an outdoor ceremony is more your style, the sculpted garden features a dedicated chuppah with stunning valley views. Outdoor seating with wooden benches and hay bales complements the natural setting perfectly.

For your reception, the hall built on the original farmhouse’s foundations offers a warm, inviting atmosphere with wooden finishes, glass chandeliers, handcrafted tables, vintage dining chairs, a dance floor, and a fully accessible bar. When the weather turns cooler, the old barn provides a cozy and romantic alternative for both ceremonies and receptions.

Catering and Services

Food lovers will appreciate the creative touch of The Stone Cellar’s in-house chef, who brings over ten years of experience to your menu. Instead of fixed packages, the venue offers personalized quotes so you can design a menu that fits your tastes perfectly. Choose from canapés, plated starters, buffet or family-style mains, and delicious desserts. The venue supplies all cutlery, crockery, and professional waiting and bar staff. Plus, a dedicated coordinator will work closely with you from start to finish, making sure every detail is handled smoothly and professionally.
