Natural Beauty & Rustic Serenity

Congratulations on your engagement! We’re delighted you have found “The One” 

We are honoured to be considered as a destination.

We are situated just outside Parys on a working pecan nut farm, ideally nestled along the banks of the Vaal River in the Vredefort Dome.  We are owner-managed and strive towards providing you with personalised service during your stay. You are granted exclusivity to the estate, whether it be midweek or over a weekend.

Allow your guests to escape the city and enjoy a couple of days in the countryside, exchanging vows in our chapel and enjoying the festivities late into the night.

Testimonials

GARYN & LAURA

Thank you so much for everything. Our wedding day was everything we hoped it would be and more. Your venue is something special and our guests can’t stop raving about how magical it was and how amazing the food was. I honestly can’t even begin to explain how happy we are to have found this little piece of heaven for our own big day

EC & Christine

Ek wil graag vir die hele span dankie sê. Eintlik voel dankie so klein vir dit wat ons in ons harte voel… julle het ons wildste drome oortref. As ek my oë nou nog toe maak en terug dink aan ons sprokies dag voel dit soos ń droom. Dankie baie baie dankie aan julle almal by The Nutcracker alles was uit die boonste rakke julle is Top of the range!!!

Nico & Wiida

Graag wil ons net baie, baie dankie sê vir ons wonderlike troue.

Samantha, jy was fenomenaal gewees, en sonder jou hulp en bystand sou die dag nie die sukses gewees het wat dit wel was nie. Ons gaste kon nie uitgepraat raak oor die heerlike kos en ook die porsie grootte nie, hulle het alles baie geniet. En geen versoek van ons was té veel vir julle nie. Jy was altyd bereid om te luister en dan te implementeer. Jou understeuning aan die bloemis was uitstekend en ek is so dankbaar daarvoor.

Grant, you were the perfect host and we say a huge thank you to you for always being present and looking after us.

Chef…. wow! Awesome food, and we congratulate you on a job well done!

May we wish all of you, and The Nutcracker, all of the best for the future, and may life and new business endeavours be hugely successful.

Craig & Ashleigh

Samantha, Grant, Graham, and the Nutcracker team, you guys are true professionals and amazing humans! What an amazing venue, Ash and I loved every minute of it! You guys delivered on everything you promised and more. Everything from the décor you have in the venue, to the amazing food cooked by an outstanding Chef, to the friendly competent staff that is part of your team, all of that made our experience a magical one. We honestly feel that the Nutcracker is a venue that just keeps on giving from amazing photo opportunities to the impeccable service.

Johan & Sharon

DAVID & MONIQUE

Ek en Monique wil net uit die diepte van ons harte baie baie dankie se vir jou en die Nutcracker span, julle het ons week troue ongelooflik spesiaal gemaak en ons kan nie meer dankie se nie.

Die hele week was net fantasties en die trou dag het ons asem weggeslaan met die kos, die venue, die diens en net almal se vriendelikheid, baie dankie vir dit.

Michael & Lara-Lee

We just wanted to give a massive thanks to Samantha, Grant, Graham, and the entire team for making our wedding day (and weekend) so special. You all went above and beyond, and we really felt at home the entire weekend. You’re all such an incredible team, and I believe the true sign of an amazing team is when you don’t even notice all the hard work being done – everything ran so smoothly and all behind the scenes!

Thanks for also accommodating all the last-minute changes, and ensuring our day was absolutely perfect. Our guests loved every minute, they all thought your venue was out of this world, the food was brilliant, and the entire weekend was just a massive hit. I could go on and on, but I’ll leave it at “thank you!”.
