Table Mountain. Photo by Victor GeereAn increasingly popular destination for regular vacations, South Africa has yet to really make its name as a place where couples travel to get married, but that can only be a matter of time.

It is a country of stunning beauty and extraordinary contrast, with some of the most spectacular and memorable wedding venues anywhere in the world.

Although it is a long journey from almost everywhere, South Africa offers remarkably good value - prices seem extremely low compared to the cost of a wedding in other places.

Legal Civil Weddings

The same laws regarding marriage apply in South Africa whether or not you are a resident of the country, so it is both possible and straightforward to have a civil wedding there.
