Selecting a wedding venue is often the first and biggest decision a newly engaged couple has to make. Exquisite scenery, an inviting climate, great service and affordability are all major deciding factors, making the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast a top wedding destination.
“From our Blue Flag beaches and coastal forests to the sprawling farmlands and majestic gorges, the KZN South Coast has a setting for every bridal couple,” notes Deborah Ludick, acting CEO of the South Coast Tourism & Investment Enterprise. “We’re also fortunate to have top-tier wedding venues from the coast to the hinterland, providing wedding parties with fully equipped spaces for ceremonies and receptions, top-class service and fantastic accommodation.”
KZN South Coast’s wedding venues
The KZN South Coast boasts a year-round subtropical climate, which means outdoor weddings are possible, no matter the season. Boasting the highest number of Blue Flag beaches in the province, seaside weddings are a big attraction, with many venues offering access or views of the stunning Indian Ocean.
