About Garde Joyeuse

Garde Joyeuse is based in Johannesburg and has 3 years of experience with weddings, baptisms and birthdays. Trained childminders run a kids’ corner with games, drawing, a meal and a quiet nap area, so parents enjoy the evening; pet sitting is available for the ring-bearer dog.

Every booking starts with a call about your date, your guests and your budget, and a written, itemised quote follows within 24 hours. Prices start from 440 ZAR per guest.

We work in English. Popular dates go months ahead, so it is worth asking early; sending a request is free.
