OAKFIELD FARM - Johannesburg

Inspired by an old stone altar in an Oak forest which has seen the marriage of five generations of Halse children on their beautiful family farm, a charming Chapel was built in the grove of Cottonwood trees. Having grown up on horseback, it also seemed obvious to include a horse-drawn carriage. So began the vision, the “one-stop” wedding venue. Over the years, the unique Summerhouse was completed, followed by the bridal suites and the Guest House. The old chicken run in which old Mrs Harrison grew her prized orchids, then became the beautiful Conservatory. Recently, the Dressing Rooms and an executive Boardroom was added. Mary sold her share in 1996, and Oakfield Farm rooms have been added and recently became a family-owned business. Although farming is no longer viable, the farm is still a welcome oasis for the celebration of memorable occasions.
