Our Story
Thembela Venue: A 25 - Year Dream Realized
​
Driven by a passion for beauty, hospitality, and unforgettable celebrations. It all began in 2000 , where we mastered the art of elegant décor, transforming spaces into dream settings. This led to our bespoke catering service, crafting exquisite cuisine to complement every occasion.
​
With a deep understanding of event design and hospitality, we envisioned a venue that embodied sophistication and warmth. That dream became reality with Thembela Venue, an exclusive wedding destination on KZN’s North Coast. As we grew, we introduced Thembela Villa, offering a luxurious retreat for bridal parties and intimate stays.
​
Yet, our journey continues. Thembela Venue is more than a place—it’s a legacy of trust, elegance, and innovation, ensuring that every wedding is a story beautifully told.
