about us

OUR START

See the Beauty of Makarios Venue

Built along the tranquil waters of the Vaal River, Makarios was founded on a simple philosophy: combining the natural beauty of the North West landscape with premium, stress-free event hosting. What started as a scenic riverfront property has been intentionally developed into a premier, all-inclusive destination. Our estate is perfectly tailored to host intimate to large-sized celebrations of up to 250 guests, ensuring elegance, exceptional acoustics, and complete privacy for your special day.

THE PHILOSOPHY

Hospitality Driven by Purpose

We believe that you shouldn’t have to manage dozens of moving parts on your wedding day. By managing our catering, ceremony spaces, and reception facilities completely in-house, our team ensures a seamless, highly coordinated experience from your morning preparations until the final farewells.

THE SETTING

Where Scenic Riverfront Meets Country Elegance

Located just outside the quiet town of Leeudoringstad, Makarios offers a peaceful escape away from the rush of the city. Our grounds blend open, rolling country landscapes with manicured riverfront lawns, giving your guests a picturesque setting to relax, socialize, and celebrate in absolute comfort. While our on-site luxury suites are dedicated entirely to bridal preparation and a romantic overnight stay for the newlyweds, we gladly partner with trusted local guesthouses just minutes away to comfortably accommodate all your traveling guests.
