Why a small wedding at Dogwood

Your whole day, in one place

No shuttles, no rushing between venues. Your guests walk from the chapel to the reception and wake up in the garden the next morning.

Afternoon

The forest chapel

Exchange vows beneath a canopy of old trees, with your guests seated close enough to hear every word.

Evening

The country house

Celebrate in the large indoor entertainment lounge that opens onto the patio, braai area and gardens.

Next morning

Stay the night

Three en-suite guest rooms and two cottages for family and the bridal party, with a country breakfast to finish.

The house

A country home for your celebration

A white Midlands farmhouse with wooden ceilings, a grand entrance hall and a sunny breakfast room, set in big, quiet gardens.

The chapel

A ceremony in the forest

Wooden pews, a white aisle and a canopy of trees. Simple and natural, so the moment stays about the two of you.
