Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to use Mont Rouge caterers?
Yes, we do not allow outside caterers. Together we can work out the perfect menu for your special day that will suit your requirements and budget.
Can I bring in my own wedding cake?
You are more than welcome to bring in your own wedding cake.
I would like to get dressed for my wedding on the premises. Do you have a room or cottage available?
Yes, we do at an additional cost. For all accommodation-related questions, please contact Marisha at [email protected].
I do not like the chairs/tables/linen included in the venue fee. Can I please get other ones?
You are more than welcome to source different furniture or linen for your own account. Please note that cost can not be subtracted from the venue fee and the fee must be paid in full regardless of using the venue’s furniture and linen or not.
What is your policy on children attending?
We love children and we have the most beautiful gardens and open spaces for them to play around, but we also have a lot of water streams, dams and an open pool close to the venue, therefore it is the parents’ own responsibility to look after their children.
Mont Rouge cannot be held liable if anything happens to a child.
In terms of catering children under the age of 4 is free of charge, and children 4 to 12 years old will be charged 50% of the cost. Children of 12 years and up will be viewed as an adult.
How does the bar service work?
You can have a total cash bar where guests pay for their own drinks, or you can run a tab for an open bar for your guests. If you’d prefer, you can even set a ceiling on an open bar tab and thereafter have a cash bar available once the ceiling has been reached.
Our prices for liquor are very reasonable and market-related. If you would like to bring in your own drinks for pre-drinks a corkage of R20 per person will be charged.
You are allowed to bring two bottles of champagne/sparkling wine as well as two bottles of wine per table. Extra bottles of wine will be charged R35 per bottle for corkage.
How do the menu selection and catering work?
You will be able to compile your own menu from a list of dishes and our experienced catering staff will be more than willing to assist you with any custom choices. We can do canapés, spitbraais, warm and cold buffets, plated dishes, picnics etc.
