About Chez Charlene, our estate and our people
Five-star wedding & conference venue
An oasis of beauty
Chez Charlene,
Pretoria East
Nestled amidst the serene countryside, Chez Charlene exudes an unparalleled sense of refined elegance that awakens the senses and inspires the soul. This bespoke haven is a celebration of all things luxurious, where every detail is carefully curated to create a one-of-a-kind experience.
As you wander the enchanting grounds, the gentle neighs of horses roaming in the distance transport you to a simpler, more peaceful time. The sprawling estate is a feast for the eyes, its lush gardens and rolling hills the perfect backdrop for a day of celebration.
The true star of the show, though, is the cuisine. From the first bite to the last, every dish is expertly crafted using only the finest ingredients and presented with an artist's eye for detail.
Since opening on 3 February 2007, Chez Charlene has been named the best venue in Gauteng at the ABIA Bride's Choice Awards, along with best co-ordinator team and further accolades for décor and the honeymoon suite.

Chief executive officer & owner
Charlene Georgiades
Charlene has always had a passion for arts and culture, and every aspect of the venue reflects it. Elegance - graceful and stylish, mature and sophisticated while still approachable - is the first thing visitors notice, and it makes a lasting impression.
Over the years she expanded her vision, building the intimate Boutique Venue and chapel for smaller weddings and events. The style evokes real emotion, and brings a smile to the face of everyone who walks in.
In art's embrace, love takes flight
