Set in luscious one-acre gardens in Houghton Estate, Villa Simonne is the perfect venue for a perfectly special wedding day. With the air of ancient mythology, and all the comforts of modern elegant luxury, you can be sure that every little detail is taken care of for you, while you take a deep breath and channel your inner goddess bride in one of our boutique themed suites.

As a refreshing alternative to conventional banquet halls, the Villa offers a statuesque ceremony in the Parthenon, a covered area at the bottom of the gardens featuring classical pillars, statues, hanging chandeliers and a Poseidon water feature – a fairy-tale beginning among our century old trees. With space for up to 500 guests, you can have a summer reception party in the gardens that goes down in history, animated with fairy lights, music, fire drums and candles. The gardens link all entertainment areas including the 1920s Piano Lounge, Bacchus Garden Bar, Stairway to the Stars, Amphitheatre, Boma, Parthenon, and Mosaic Pool and Braai Terrace.

An experienced events coordinator will ensure attention to detail and impeccable service for an outstanding and unforgettable wedding day, endowed with all the ambience, character and beauty you always dreamed of.
