Wedding & Honeymoon Locations
South Africa offers an incredible range of perfect wedding and honeymoon locations whatever your budget is. For overseas couples we highly recommend travelling to the South West and North East of the country to experience the best of South Africa. The main attraction in the South West is Cape Town, the Cape Winelands and the Garden Route, and in the North East you find the Kruger National Park. These two areas embody the diversity of culture and history of South Africa and at the same time provide a combination of beautiful coast line, world renowned wine tasting, cosmopolitan city or extensive game viewing, but of course you can also choose the more untouched and unexplored gems of the country.

		Getting married in South Africa
		Cape Town and the Kruger Park are the most popular destination for overseas couples that want to get married in South Africa. The options are plentiful and range from upmarket weddings at top venues or game lodges to intimate weddings on the beach or Table Mountain and it is easy for the couple to bring in and accommodate themselves, their family and guests according to their budget. The legal requirements for a wedding are simple. All you need is an authorized marriage officer and a copy of your ID Book. If you are under 21, you will also need a permission form completed by both parents, if you are divorced, you will additionally need a copy of the divorce decree and if you are a widower, you will need a copy of your late spouse´s death certificate. All couples will receive an abridged Marriage Certificate directly after the ceremony. The application for a Full Marriage Certificate and/or an Apostile after the ceremony, can take up to 4 weeks.
