A wedding in Africa can be any number of magical, romantic places: on the edge of Victoria Falls, deep in the African bush, on a tropical beach in Mauritius, or surrounded by Cape vineyards... a wedding in Africa is always a romantic and intimate experience. We offer a select range of entrancing African wedding options and imaginative ideas to make your wedding one of the most memorable days of your life. A wedding in Africa is the ideal choice for those wanting a small, yet romantic wedding, perhaps just the two of you, perhaps with a few close friends or family. You can avoid many of the traditional wedding headaches by letting us take care of the arrangements. We work closely with you and the lodge to ensure that your African wedding is full of delightful memories.
In recent years, we've arranged many African weddings all over Southern Africa. All of our weddings have been tailor-made, not a mass-market package. And such ceremonies cost far less than a wedding at home, allowing you more to spend on a memorable honeymoon. So rather than feeding the five thousand at home, why not invest instead in some African memories? With the bush or an exotic headland as the backdrop, you almost don't need to spend on decorations and a few curious turtles make perfect witnesses to your vows! Arrangements are generally informal and relaxed, whether the ceremony is civil or religious and the party is just the two of you, or with family and friends.
