The Perfect Wedding Venue

Easy access

Based a mere 15 kilometres outside of Parys and a one-and-a-half hour drive from Johannesburg, Nutcracker is easily accessible, yet just remote enough to make for a truly magical wedding.

The Nutcracker Country Wedding Venue knows how special a wedding is which is why they aim to extend the joviality by providing a weekend retreat for your guests. Accommodating up to 30 guests, Nutcracker books out the entire venue for one wedding, which means the bridal party can arrive on Friday and leave on Sunday. The venue actually offers a Wedding Weekend Special which is a comprehensive package suited to every wedding need.

High-level catering

Food can definitely make or break any event and, at the Nutcracker, the hearty, wholesome cuisine is sure to satisfy every palate. The onsite executive chef adheres to the highest quality of catering, ensuring every dish is a masterpiece.

Personalised service

Because the Nutcracker estate is owner-managed, you are guaranteed the personalised service you deserve. No query is too small and attention to detail is part of the package.

Stunning scenery

Apart from being the perfect wedding venue, Nutcracker is also a working pecan nut farm set amidst the most splendid country scenery alongside the glistening Vaal River.
