The Great Gatsby Houghton

🎬 Shot at The Gatsby.

We loved seeing Great Gatsby Houghton come to life on screen as one of the filming locations for Yo Maps & Makhadzi – “It’s Over.”

With its century-old architecture, dramatic interiors, sweeping staircase, gardens and endless character, The Gatsby offers a backdrop that can transform to suit the story.

From music videos and film to television, fashion, editorial and commercial productions, our historic Houghton estate is available as a filming and photography location.

Every detail tells a story.

For Marli & Anton’s intimate winter wedding, the Gatsby was transformed with a rich palette of ruby, charcoal and warm winter tones, complemented by the bride’s favourite flowers - elegant anthuriums and roses.

Simple. Unique. Intimate. Magical.

From the floral arrangements to the table settings and carefully considered details, this celebration shows how beautifully the Gatsby can be transformed for an intimate winter wedding.

A winter wedding, made intimate.

Rich shades of ruby and charcoal, the bride’s favourite flowers - anthuriums and roses - and the timeless character of Great Gatsby Houghton came together for a celebration that was simple, unique and truly magical.

We loved welcoming Marli Durow & Anton Lombard for their beautiful winter micro wedding. From the quiet getting-ready moments to the celebration shared together, every detail felt personal and effortlessly elegant.
