The Forest Walk Venue
The Forest Walk Venue is a forested event space in Johannesburg that hosts weddings and functions for up to one hundred and fifty guests. You book it for the chapel — a covered outdoor space with forest views — and the two-hundred-and-fifty-square-metre reception hall, which has ambient lighting and a licensed cash bar. The venue offers four decor packages: Rustic (whitewashed tables with wooden bases), Winter Wonderland (all-white with a snow machine), Silver Elegant (silver tablecloths and tall centerpieces), and Gold (gold glass main table with white leather chairs).
Events come with an in-house coordinator, DJ, and access to a client portal for planning. The boma area, surrounded by trees, serves as a smoking zone and welcome drinks space. Two on-site rooms function as dressing areas or honeymoon suites; additional accommodation is available at linked guesthouses with shuttle service.
The kitchen is not certified Halaal but works with a Halaal supplier. The venue also provides recommended pastors, photographers, and hair-and-makeup artists. Lawn games like giant Jenga and croquet are available for outdoor functions. The chapel converts for matric farewells or baby showers, with fog machines and draping to suit the event.
Wedding packages include a three-course buffet, sparkling wine, and staff. The all-inclusive option adds a wedding officer, photographer, bouquet, and cake. The venue is exclusively yours for nine hours on the booking day.
