The Iconic Glass Wedding Venue

Step into our famous glass wedding venue. Essentially, this space is full of natural light and Lowveld charm. The clean design is meant to frame the landscape like a living art piece, thereby creating a dreamlike aesthetic for your “I do’s.” Specifically, the glass walls bring the outside in. In turn, this creates an ethereal feel among the acacia trees. Ultimately, every photo here offers cinematic views because the light is always perfect.

Attended a wedding at Whispering thorns and thought this establishment and the people running it are very deserving of a good review.
The grounds and gardens are unusual and very beautiful.
The accommodation was top class, with so much attention to detail being paid by the staff.
The wedding reception itself, was one of the best I have ever been to. The food, the service, the ambiance and the hosting were all of exceptionally high quality.
Whispering Thornes is a rare gem and was such a memorable wedding event.
Well done to the people who make this happen and please keep up the attention to detail, quality and high standards afforded to your guests.

Absolutely beautiful venue.. Had a wonderful wedding weekend. Food was top class and the staff very friendly and efficient. Will definitely recommend for a wedding or event.
The accommodation was the only thing that was disappointing. Although at the venue, it was not worth the amount paid. No air-conditioning(in the lowveld) and the water pressure was non existing. Could not take a shower in the morning. Could get much better for much less, in a 2 km radius.
