South Africa is the rainbow nation, where every race, culture, creed and religion is valued and protected by our constitution. Whether you’re Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist or Atheist, this country respects your right to believe or otherwise and most local towns have wedding officials to preside over the nuptials. The only South African law that applies across the board is that the wedding register be signed under the roof of a venue that has a valid, registered address.

Translators can be arranged for most foreign language

And the music…
Music is the heartbeat of Africa and no wedding on our shores is complete without an African drum roll! Local musicians, live performers and cultural dancers can transform your special occasion into a production. For the more conventional, there’s always a string quartet to play the Wedding March, a top-rate contemporary band to perform your favourite songs or a DJ to spin the discs.

Legalities
For foreigners planning to marry in South Africa, the wedding official requires the photo- and green-stamp pages of your passports, as well as a signed affidavit (B131E) stating the dates and places of birth of the bridal couple. It’s advisable that pre-nuptial contracts are negotiated in your home country prior to departure.

Every bride deserves to look her absolute best on her wedding day. South African designers are world-class. Search the Internet for our best or ask us to advise according to your personal requirements. For those wanting a touch of Hollywood, limo services are available.

Don’t forget the bling…
Diamonds, gold and precious gems are abundant on the southern tip of the continent. Why not capture the essence of Africa with a custom-made, African-inspired wedding band, crafted by one of our specialist local jewellers? Tanzanite, a limited commodity unique to the continent, is a cornflower blue stone at its most beautiful when set with diamonds. 

South Africa is also well known for its beautiful beaches. You’ll be spoiled for choice among the trendy hotspots of the Cape, the untamed wilderness of the Garden Route and the all-year round warmth of KwaZulu-Natal’s northern and southern coastline.  The southern coastline offers you  the  first world thing while the north coastline the wilderness, the Africa wildlife and miles of deserted sup-tropical beaches.
