More than 600 guests gathered at Ground the Venue, in Muldersdrift, for yet another unforgettable Spritzer Saturday Brunch experience. The glamour and curated effort by the brand was nothing short of impressive.

Brutal Fruit Spritzer’s highly anticipated and iconic "Spritzer Saturday Brunch" series took Johannesburg by storm. It was a day of pure chic, vibrant food flavours and immersive experiences with brand partners.

Pink carpet allure and hosting excellence

The master of ceremonies, Nqobile Khwezi, set the tone on the pink carpet with her ever so stylish and charismatic personality. Photographers captured each stunning look as guests made their way through the lush Crab Apple Gardens, where a harpist serenaded brunch-goers – setting a serene tone.

The lit up Main Stage Magic drew guests to the charismatic Pamela Mtanga, who kept the crowd engaged and excited throughout the day’s proceedings. Each moment was met with cheers and excitement, setting the perfect tone for a lively and unforgettable brunch.

An exquisite atmosphere with iconic décor

From the moment guests arrived, they were immersed in Brutal Fruit Spritzers’ signature elegance – the attention to detail in every node was noted and appreciated. A lush and golden entrance led by a doorman greeted attendees, who passed through floral arches with a sparkling Brutal Fruit Spritzer in hand, to their personalised photo-op stages.

Beneath these chandeliers were long communal tables set for 600 guests, which highlighted the day’s theme of connection and celebration.
