South Africa
Why it ranks so highly
A strong option when the wedding is intended to feel like taking over a country estate, particularly if the celebration runs across more than one day. Landscape and approach are part of the wedding, not decoration applied afterwards. The strongest use of a place like this is usually a celebration that extends before or after the ceremony.
Best for weekend weddings, larger groups, estate atmosphere.
When to look elsewhere
Most of your guests need effortless public-transport access, or your priority is a compact city-centre celebration.
