My wedding was on 18 September 2025.

The staff at Riverside Castle absolutely outdid themselves. They did so much more than we paid them to do. As the bride, the wedding coordinator was very emotionally supportive and comforting in the nervous moments leading up to the wedding. She was very helpful, and she and her staff packed the cutlery so gorgeously that it looked a bit empty at first after we decorated it ourselves, but once the staff added their touch, it was exactly what we dreamed of.

They allowed us to stay the night before in the honeymoon suite so we could decorate our reception area. They absolutely went above and beyond, even putting on the fairy lights outside for us out of their own accord to make the reception more beautiful (usually that costs extra). At the last minute, we added daisies to our main table in the reception, and the staff not only placed them there but trimmed and arranged the bouquet beautifully (once again out of their own). I was absolutely blown away by the amazing service we received.

I highly recommend using Riverside Castle as your wedding venue. It was a true princess experience; I never thought I would get married in a real-life castle. It is every bit as beautiful as it sounds. I wish I could give 10 stars. I had my dream wedding, in fact, it was even better than I ever dreamed of.

Thank you, Riverside Castle, for making my dream come true ❤️

Our wedding was an absolute blast, thanks to the incredible work of our wedding guru, Nicolette.

Seriously, Nicolette, you're a rock star! You didn't just help us plan; you introduced us to things we didn't even know existed, like that awesome "harvesting table" idea.

You went above and beyond by adding coffee mugs and other goodies to the coffee table. You saw the plastic cups we bought wouldn't cut it with the weather, and you saved the day. And the fact that you let my hubby and me get ready in a proper room, not some restroom, was pure class. Your constant communication made wedding planning a breeze. We can't thank you enough!

Huge shoutout to our décor wizards, Selenta and Marlese. The flowers on the tables were stunning, especially those pink lilies and roses – they were my dream come true. Our whole setup looked straight out of a fairy tale. Everyone was raving about it.

Thanks for making our wedding look like something out of a fairy godmother's workshop!

And kudos to Riverside Castle for keeping all our guests safe and sound while ensuring everything ran smoothly. We're totally recommending this place to everyone!

Our wedding at Riverside Castle was nothing short of a dream come true.

From the moment we set foot on the property, we were captivated by its breathtaking beauty — the lush gardens, the elegant architecture, and the fairytale-like atmosphere that made our special day feel truly magical.

But what truly set our experience apart was Erika. She wasn’t just our coordinator; she became the heart and soul of our day. Her warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail were beyond anything we could have hoped for. Every moment flowed effortlessly because she made sure every detail was perfect — from the ceremony to the reception, nothing was left to chance.

Erika’s dedication, genuine care, and ability to bring our vision to life made us feel not just like clients, but like family. She anticipated every need before we even voiced it, and her calming presence allowed us to soak in every precious moment without a single worry.

To Erika and the Riverside Castle team — thank you for giving us not just a wedding, but an unforgettable experience we will cherish for the rest of our lives. You didn’t just host our wedding… you created a memory so beautiful that it will forever live in our hearts.

We will recommend Riverside Castle to every couple who dreams of a wedding filled with beauty, magic, and love.

I have waited a long. long time for my wedding, so when it finally happened at 50 - it had damn well better be perfect....and it was!!

From the moment of the site visit we were hooked. We had a very capable wedding coordinator in Erika, and she was super friendly and helpful as well.

Our wedding decor was done by Bernadine from Cloud 9 Decor and man did she pull out all the stops. The food was great; the bar was well stocked and the barmen friendly and courteous. As this was a winter wedding, we off course had to stock some roaring fires in the fireplace and outside in the boma-area. The rooms were great and breakfast, again, a tasty smorgasbord of flavors. I have to make special mention of the DJ, Rowan. Now THIS man is a PROPER DJ!! Decks were mixed and he kept us on our feet with his great vibes. Simply an awesome guy.

If you are thinking about using this venue as an option for your special day = you cannot go wrong. Just thinking about my perfect day, wants me to do it all over again and that I think, is a rare thing.

Thank you to all who added to my fairytale wedding.

Our family is beyond grateful to Nicolette from Riverside Castle Wedding Venue Zwavelpoort for the unforgettable service and support she provided for Andre and Chiane wedding on November 7th.

Nicolette is truly a remarkable person and a treasure to the Riverside Castle team. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly, and her attention to detail was evident in every moment of the day.

Nicolette’s dedication to making sure that everyone was happy, comfortable, and stress-free was unmatched. She was there whenever assistance was needed, often going the extra mile to handle tasks that weren’t even expected of her. The care and passion she brought to her work created a welcoming, joyful atmosphere, allowing us all to focus on celebrating together.

We feel so blessed to have had Nicolette amd her team as the wedding coordinator. Her commitment and exceptional service made the day seamless and truly magical. Nicolette is undoubtedly an asset to Riverside Castle, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Thank you, Nicolette, for everything you did to make this day so special!
