Weddings in South Africa

Many people, besides the locals, choose to get married in South Africa. The climate is warm and sunny, the people are friendly and the country boasts some of the world’s most beautiful wedding venues. South Africa is filled with historic estates, wine farms and beach front hotels that all offer an incredibly special day - with a stunning backdrop for photographs to boot.

Planning a Wedding in South Africa

Perhaps the most important part of planning a wedding in South Africa is to choose the right venue. Nothing affects the ambiance of an evening more than bad service or garish décor. Wedding venues in South Africa are plentiful, so plentiful in fact that it can be hard to choose the right one. Follow some quick tips to help you find the ideal venue for your wedding in South Africa.

• Start by looking online and in bridal magazines. These publications will all list a variety of wedding venues. South Africa’s people are also all very helpful - so ask around. Word of mouth endorsement will usually guarantee a beautiful venue.
• Once you have short listed a few venues for your wedding in South Africa, phone ahead. There is no point in visiting places that you would know clearly don’t meet your needs simply from a few questions that you can ask over the phone.
• When you do visit your choices for a wedding venue in South Africa, look around everywhere - including the toilets and the kitchens. This should give you a well-rounded impression of the place and the quality of its upkeep.
• Once you have visited all your choices, compare notes and make a logical decision that takes everything into account - the price, location, catering and so on. It is pointless to have a beautiful wedding venue, in South Africa’s smallest and most inaccessible town. Think of your guests, who will be driving and where they will stay after the reception.

A Wedding at Indaba Hotel

While many people head out to wine farms or remote locations, most South African cities actually have incredible venues close by. The Indaba Hotel is located just north of the Sandton area of Johannesburg, just far enough away from the city to be a beautiful escape, but close enough not to inconvenience guests. The different venues are all nestled beneath the Magaliesburg Mountains and the excellent, relaxed service guarantees a successful event.
