It is Jatinga Country Lodge policy that the entire lodge is booked for your wedding. The Honeymoon suite is however given to you free of charge on your wedding night.  Should this proposal not be acceptable, please do contact us immediately so that we can discuss different options as we value your business.

Chapel & Minister

Our quaint, open-sided chapel is built on the banks of the White River.  The minister, bride & groom are accommodated under the chapel roof while guests are seated on the open air flagstones with the White River quietly meandering behind them.  We do not charge for the use of our chapel, however, chairs and chair covers that are hired in will be for your cost.  We can put you in touch with an inter-denominational minister in the area.  Witnesses need to be arranged by the bridal party.

Banqueting Room

Our versatile banqueting room lends itself to small or bigger groups and has fold away doors opening onto a private garden with a view of the pecan orchard in the distance.

Alternative Venues

An elegant marquee can be set up in our gardens or, depending on numbers and the weather, our elevated wooden deck overlooking the White River offers a venue with a difference for a smaller, more intimate function.  Alternatively our dining room or adjoining covered Colonial-style veranda are also popular choices.

Seating capacity

Depending on the choice of venue, we can accommodate up to 120 guests in our function room and up to 160 guests in a marquee.

The following is included:

  • Planning and execution of your function
  • Rectangular tables and chairs
  • Crisp white linen and napery
  • Glassware
  • Crockery and cutlery
  • Ice buckets
  • Staff

Should there be more than 120 guests we would need to hire in additional tables, chairs and linen which would be for your account.
