About Avianto

A Village Made in Heaven

our story begins in 1997

Avianto was established in 1997 with its first wedding venue being the Banquet Hall and adjacent Chapel. It all started from the idea of creating the perfect wedding venue in Johannesburg for what must be one of life’s greatest celebrations.

1999

Having captured the hearts of the discerning bride with the Banquet Hall, a second venue, The Ballroom, was created with some more versatility accommodating not only weddings but also splendid corporate celebrations and Sunday lunches.

2003

The Avianto dedicated conference center and Hotel rooms followed in 2003. The Avianto Hotel in Muldersdrift Johannesburg currently boasts 35 rooms and will continue to expand to the north along the Crocodile River, onto what used to be the old Syringa Spa & Picnic Resort.

2012

The Avianto Lifestyle Estate launched. This mixed use development, expand to cover over 250Ha of land. When completed the Estate will have 1800 residential opportunities in a mixture of luxury homes on freehold stands, sectional title and retirement units.

The Fireside Room boasts a brand new look & crackling fireplace. The perfect environment for intimate conferences & weddings, opening up onto the Fireside Terrance overlooking the dam, willow trees & gardens. This brings the number of conference & functions venues to 13.

They

Started it all

TREVOR AND HELEN D’OLIVIERA

Owners

Trevor D’Oliveira, owner of Avianto, grew up in Northcliff, Johannesburg. His entry into hospitality was somewhat unusual. Being in the property development business, they decided to build a wedding venue as his brother was getting married. He did not intend on running Avianto initially but the operators did not work out so he decided to run it himself and that is where it all started. Avianto has 21 years of service excellence and now going stronger than ever before!

The constant challenges and very dynamic environment satisfies Trevor’s need to please people. Very important lesson in the industry is to never underestimate the value of your reputation and integrity. Helen, Trevor’s wife, helps him run Avianto. Helen is exceptionally creative and spontaneous, so that balances out any over engineering from Trevor’s side. Helen is an entrepreneur at heart, with an artistic flair with an eye for detail. Always up for a new challenge, she has helped to grow Avianto as we know it today.
