South Africa as a Wedding Destination



South Africa is such a fantastic choice if you wish to get married away for your wedding destination. The climate plays along with gorgeous sunshine most of the year around – in fact somewhere in South Africa the sun is shining today. From the legal perspective, all the paperwork that is required can be done in South Africa as well, and there is not a minimum time that you are required to stay in the country before the wedding, as is the case in some other countries.


South African Wedding Venues have so much to offer the bride on her wedding day. The choice of wedding venues is vast, so one of the ways to choose a venue is to decide on what type of wedding you want. We have divided venues into various categories to make your choice easier. The other way to choose is if you have a geographical area or a specific city or part of the coast in mind, you would choose this and would tie it in to the best time of year for that specific reason. South African wedding venues are very popular with couples from the Northern Hemisphere because high season summer here is during the cold, long, dark winters up north, so what better excuse is there for a wedding and to tie it in with a holiday thus escaping from the cold for a few weeks of sun and fun.


South African Wedding Venues are world class in the facilities they offer. If you wish to combine your wedding with a bush or safari holiday, there are numerous lodges in game reserves offering the big 5+ (lion, elephant, leopard, rhino and buffalo) of Africa on view, as well as luxury accommodation and wonderful facilities to enable you to have the wedding of your dreams out in the African wilds. These lodges can cater for parties of just the two of you or up to 100 guests and more.


Of course South African Wedding venues offer sophisticated city venues for those couples wishing to be married in one of our cities. Many of these venues offer the entire package and you will find they have a chapel or an outside ceremony venue, as well as a reception or wedding banquet facility maybe in a beautiful garden setting that you will be able to use for stunning wedding photographs.


If you want a more relaxed beach wedding, South African beach wedding venues are amongst the most stunning in the world. Snow white beaches, azure sea, and your ceremony can be set up in the sand with your reception either in a bedouin style tent or in the beach venue that you can have beautifully decorated in your beach theme.


The winelands near Cape Town offer the most charming venues in a setting second to none. Magnificent views of the mountains, old Cape Dutch manor houses and glorious wine and food make these wineland wedding venues a favourite with locals and visitors alike.
South African wedding venues are amongst the best in the world for a destination wedding, and we are the specialists at helping you organise your dream wedding, be it beach, safari, city or country venue that you choose.

Honeymoon Africa


There are many great places to spend your honeymoon but and African Honeymoon is sure to be the most special option one can choose. They say that you can feel Africa's soul and that is true- once you step off the plane and walk on African soil you will feel this too. African Honeymoon s are also really diverse and honeymooners have so many options to choose from. I like to group African Honeymoon s in the following catagories:


African Safari Honeymoon

Island Honeymoon

Secret Hideaway Honeymoon


African Safari Honeymoon


This is the main reason most visitors come to Africa is to go on an African Safari. It has to be one of the most special experiences for anyone and to experience it with your new life partner this is truly amazing.


African Safaris can cater for all budgets and you really do get what you pay for in many cases. The dollar and pound are really strong against African currencies so your money can really stretch far. African is home to some of the most amazing lodges... Breathtaking is a word to describe what you will find in Africa. For an amazing African Safari Honeymoon contact Laura:





African Island Honeymoons


One would be surprised to find that Africa is home to some of the most beautiful beaches and islands in the world. So why settle and go on honeymoon in the Carribean like everyone else when you can be wild and adventurous and go to Africa. You can even combine a bush and beach experience and experience everything Africa has to offer. Island Honeymoons are relaxing and fun and going on an island honeymoon provides a great way to relax after the stress and excitement of a wedding.


African Secret Hideaway Honeymoons


I think the name says it all. This is a true peaceful and private way to spend your honeymoon. We have found the most beautiful locations across Africa to spend you honeymoon. Africa is still integing in the way that we still have unfound places and protected areas dotted around the continent to allow for you to spend your honeymoon in complete privacy and luxury : Have a look at my suggestions at www.saweddingvenues.com/dream-hideaway-honeymoons
