Weddings in Africa
Planning your wedding day is the most exciting time of your life, but it can also be the most stressful time since there are just so many little things you need to take care of, like finding the perfect wedding gown, choosing the appropriate music, hiring a decent photographer and booking the perfect venue. And low and behold if one tiny little detail falls out of place, your fairy tale picture could all come tumbling down. So why don’t you avoid the traditional headaches that come standard with planning your dream day and opt for something different…a wedding in Africa.
African weddings are exclusive and special, whether you’re planning a big ceremony or something smaller and more intimate. With exotic places to choose from like the edge of the Victoria Falls, amongst the sand dune of Namibia, on top of Table Mountain, deep in the African bush, on a tropical beach in KwaZulu Natal or Lake Malawi, surrounded by Cape Vineyards or the celebrities’ favourite, Mount Nelson Hotel in Cape Town. An African wedding is everything that represents spontaneity no matter which location in Africa you choose.
African Wedding Venues
South African has always been Africa’s most beautiful country to visit and when it comes to choosing a venue for your African wedding, South Africa surely doesn’t fall short. Couples can choose to tie the knot in elegant country houses and cosy inns, with the stunning view of the lush African vineyards to National Parks with elephants parading by. And if you’re not enthused by the serenity of the countryside you can still enjoy fine African wine, whether your reception is held at a luxury game lodge, a lazy seaside resort off Dolphin Coast, a Game Reserve, an old rustic barn or a magnificent, romantic castle in true Romeo and Juliet style.
