Dear Stephan, Nicole and Nica,
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to you and your staff for the exceptional event held on 7 May 2026.
The Venue exceeded all expectations — from the breathtaking setting to the outstanding level of service provided throughout the day. Your staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and always willing to assist, all while maintaining a warm and positive attitude despite the long hours.
A special compliment to the chef, whose food was not only beautifully presented but absolutely delicious as well.
We truly appreciated being kept informed during the setup process, including the regular updates and videos that were shared with us. It gave us great peace of mind knowing everything was being handled so professionally.
The event itself went extremely well, and all our guests had nothing but positive feedback to share.
Thank you as well, Stephan, for the wonderful Sabrage demonstration — the selected guests thoroughly enjoyed the experience and had so much fun participating.
We would highly recommend The Venue to anyone looking for a stunning location, exceptional service that goes above and beyond, and a highly organised and dedicated team.
Thank you once again for making the occasion so memorable.

What an amazing evening we had at The Venue for our End-of-Season Function for BerryWorld SA!

We recently celebrated Jannie’s 50th birthday at The Venue, Blacksmith Estate, and it was absolutely exceptional! From start to finish, the team was professional, organized, and a pleasure to work with. Every detail — from the planning to the final touches — was handled with such care and attention.
On the evening itself, the service was flawless. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure everything ran smoothly. We especially appreciated their eye for the little things that made the evening feel extra special.
And the food — wow! The braai snacks were simply fabulous and a real highlight of the night. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was.
Thank you to the entire Blacksmith Estate team (Nicole, Nica, Stefan, Wikus especially) for helping us create such a memorable celebration! Highly recommended for any special occasion. 🎉

Alex’s 21st Birthday party
On the 14 Sept 2024 we had our daughters 21st at The Venue Paarl. From the onset Nicole was handson, she assisted in everything, she responded promptly and as we all know, we as customers have a lot of questions and ideas. She was so helpfull, even organised and setup a lovely dinner at another venue in town, she orginised the prettiest flower bouquet, baloons and a complimentary champagne for the birthday girl✨️.
The setup of the venue/decor was exactly as I requested.
Food was superb and of the highest standard, tasty and all my guests complimented us on the food.
Nicole and team, keep up the exellence that you bring to this industry, making every moment of ones celebration memorable!

We needed a venue for a business event/launch and had no experience or time to arrange all the details necessary to pull off a successful event. With swift and clear communication, Nicole from the Venue set out a plan within our budget and went over and above all our expectations for the evening. We did not have to worry about a thing. The Venue had ample parking for all guests, the food was SPECTACULAR and the waitering service was on point. Nicole was there for anything we needed during the event to make sure everything went smoothly and it did! Would recommend this venue for any business event.

The attention to every detail from the cake, table decor and to the flowers was absolutely breathtaking. There was a great variety of food and it was delicious.
From the delectable food to the impeccable service, every aspect surpass our expectation. I would highly recommend them if you have a special event coming up- you will not be dissapointed.
