“Weddings can be very complex and stressful, which is why we have put together several packages with a specialist in the industry, Farzana Mayet from Panache International. It is a rare opportunity to be able to work with a professional like Farzana,” says Tanuja Gangabishun, Marketing Executive at Emerald Resort and Casino.

“Emerald is the ultimate destination where the vision of your dream wedding will be brought to life. We can customize your wedding with the traditions of your heritage and cater for a small intimate affair or create your fairy-tale wedding of up to15 00 guests, all without leaving our complex.

“We are only 45 min from Johannesburg International Airport, on a private estate on the lush banks of the Vaal River”, says Tanuja. A 3 000 square meter Arena at Emerald offers the couple a unique opportunity to host large weddings using round tables, while Kilimanjaro has a warm ambiance for groups of up to 160 guests.

The other enchanting venue for an outdoor wedding is the Outdoor Chapel which can be set up in many different ways, catering for small or large groups. The venues are versatile and the setting offers beautiful locations for dramatic and spectacular photographs right there on complex.

Complementing the selection of venues, Emerald offers several accommodation options to suit every taste and every budget, from 3-star, 4-star and 5-star offering.

Tailor made packages are available which can include arrangements for the bridal shower and bachelor party at Emerald, Mehndi night function, and the wedding day with an array of Halaal food and catering, entertainment, photographer and videographer etc.
