Thanks to you and your team for all your help and assistance for the University of Johannesburg event. It certainly did serve to make for a successful event for the client.

We certainly enjoyed working at your Thornbirds, and hope that we can conduct these events again with you in the future. In fact, we would like to recommend your venue to our clients and would like to put you on our data base of venues

Kind regards

Dear Wesley, Jonathan and supporting team

We would love to thank you so much for providing our fabulous wedding with a setting so spectacular.

We fell in love with your venue from the first day that Tshidi Hadebe (planner) suggested we go view it about a year ago. Your venue sells itself with its uncanny intimacy and a garden so lush and gorgeous it can only be described as a piece of heaven on earth.

Your service to us on days leading up to the wedding and on the day, not only to us but the guests as well, made us all feel like royalty. At no point did anyone have to stress about the finer details of the day, so many people said that they had never seen a Bride so relaxed and composed. You and your staff tackled every challenge with such grace that we would recommend you to anyone.

The food was absolutely delicious and simple enough to accommodate all our guests, from the fussiest toddler to the old school gogo lol. Everyone has been raving about the food – please send our compliments to the Chef and staff!

As for the accommodation (Bridal Suite and guest rooms) we were blown away and the only thing that managed to get us out of bed was your scrumptious breakfast.

You will be our first port of call should we ever require a venue and all our friends have been convinced that Thornbirds is the wedding venue they would choose if and when they decide to get married. We can truly say that Thornbirds is truly the BEST venue in the Southern Hemisphere without a second thought.

We wish you all the success and blessings for your future endeavours.

Sibusiso and Kagiso Mahlangu.

Dear Thornbirds Team

We are back in Egypt & wanted to thank you for everything you did for us. You made us feel like we were at a home away from home. We always wanted to get married in South Africa & we are so happy that we did.
Please let us know if any of you ever come to this side of the world. We would love to return the favour.

Good day, Nicole
We would like to take the opportunity to thank you and all of the Thornbirds staff for a job well done. The food was lovely and the venue was stunning!
Thank you for all your assistance and also for the beautiful bridal suite. The wonderful breakfast that greeted us the Sunday morning was really spectacular- fit for royalty. Which is how we felt
We would really recommend Thornbirds to anyone else who is looking for a wedding venue. We have not received our photographs as yet but there is no doubt that they will be perfect. After all the garden just completed the fairytale that we had dreamed of.
May your business flourish and host many more such memorable events.
Once again Thank You and God Bless!

Dearest Nicole and Jonathan,

Just a quick (however rather belated) note to thank you all for making our wedding day one to remember!

Thank you for all of your suggestions and unending assistance leading up to the wedding day, as well as on the day.  The way in which our wedding was conducted was extremely professional and yet intimate and personal - just what we wanted, so thank you very much.

We have just received our photos and attach some for your records.

Have a lovely day.

Kind regards
