Turning a Vision into a Venue

KirstenVale Wedding Venue - ELEGANT AND PERSONAL BUSH WEDDINGS in KZN

Long-time friends saw a family farm’s potential and decided to turn the farm into a beautiful bush wedding venue.

Inspired by the vision of a private and secluded bush venue, four friends started work on the KirstenVale site in 2019—just as COVID hit. It was too late to look back, and building continued through the waves of the pandemic.

Our first few couples heard our story, saw our vision, fell in love with the setting, and took the gamble of booking their weddings after only seeing a construction site! Since our first wedding in June 2021, we have never stopped working on making KirstenVale a hidden gem—where your wedding is the best possible start to your journey, and a treasured milestone along ours.

WHAT OUR COUPLES SAY

Thank you so much for everything that you did for our wedding. We absolutely loved every minute of it and loved the beautiful space that you have created. Having family and friends staying at the venue allowed us to have a whole weekend celebration, thank you. The farmhouse is so well set up for big meals. Thank you for going above and beyond with last-minute requests and surprises like lighting the fires on the Friday night.

Heather and Miles

KirstenVale was an absolute dream. Nothing was ever too much of an ask and everything was done efficiently and wonderfully. Every question was answered quickly and happily. The organisation of this team is off the charts! Our wedding was completely stress-free thanks to Matt and Kirst. They went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and our guests were looked after, absolutely everything was perfect. The venue and location is stunning, so close to the city yet you're in the bush and it is paradise. KirstenVale allowed us to spend the weekend with our loved ones, having the time of our lives. It was a fairy tale wedding.

James and Julia Cumming

The most beautiful venue we have ever laid eyes on. Thank you for making our day the most perfect and memorable day! Kirst, Matt and their team are phenomenal and they go above and beyond to ensure your wedding is the happiest stress-free day
