Irene Country Lodge Wedding Packages

From the sweeping, romantic oak tree lined lanes and the stone façade, to the roaring fireplaces and luxurious finishes, Irene Country Lodge is an inviting and convenient setting, befitting of any occasion. There is simply no better place to captivate your guests.   

Overlooking one of Gauteng’s most beautiful lakes and set in a lush meadow, with old world rustic charm, a warm friendly welcome is assured for your guests while Irene provides the perfect setting for this special day. All of Irene’s fifty en-suite rooms have been gracefully designed in variations of English Country Manor style to suit your accommodation needs before or after the function. When the formalities are over and you have each other to yourselves, you can nestle into our dreamy bridal suite and a hearty English breakfast the following morning will see you on your way to your new life together. Whether it is a breakfast, a banquet in the hall or just a ceremony overlooking the lake we can arrange something to suit you and your unique requirements.
