Pretoria Wedding Venues

This upmarket venue with its idyllic country setting, is based in the East of Pretoria. Step into Chez Charlene, where artistic expression dances with elegance in a symphony of decor. A fusion of vintage opulence and avant-garde flair – this venue transports guests to a realm where every corner tells a story. Adorned with ornate chandeliers casting a soft glow upon intricate murals. Chez Charlene is a masterpiece in itself. Each detail, from the meticulously crafted sculptures to the vibrant abstract paintings, speaks of a passionate dedication to aesthetics. Here, guests are not merely spectators but participants in an immersive journey through creativity and beauty. The manicured gardens, open landscapes, flawless architectural detail, water features, and country-setting fields where horses graze and gallop are the perfect backdrop for your images. Twinkling fairy-lights enhance the gardens which set a romantic atmosphere for the evening and fills the venue with magical charm.
