5 top tips for choosing your wedding venue

1. Choose a venue that feels like a destination — without the travel stress

A venue should transport you and your guests, but it also needs to be accessible. Thaba Eco Hotel offers the best of both worlds: conveniently close to the city, yet set within a protected eco environment that feels a world away. This means less time travelling, more time celebrating, and a true sense of escape.

2. Look for spaces that adapt to your vision

Every couple’s celebration is different. From intimate gatherings to larger celebrations, having both indoor and outdoor venue options gives you flexibility and peace of mind. Thaba’s variety of ceremony and reception spaces allows your day to flow naturally — whatever your guest list or style.

3. Prioritise the getting-ready experience

The hours before the ceremony matter. Beautiful bridal suites designed for comfort, space and light make all the difference. It’s where nerves soften, excitement builds, and some of the most meaningful moments happen — long before you walk down the aisle.

4. Think beyond the ceremony

A wedding isn’t just a few hours — it’s an experience. Onsite activities such as Eco Drives, scenic walks, spa packages and relaxed social spaces keep guests entertained and connected throughout the weekend. It turns your wedding into something shared, memorable and deeply enjoyable for everyone attending.

5. Make accommodation part of the celebration

Having your guests stay onsite removes stress, keeps everyone together, and extends the celebration naturally. From pre-wedding catch-ups to the morning-after breakfast, accommodation creates space for connection — and lets the magic of the weekend linger just a little longer.
