"I DO"
Lalapanzi Palm Island has seating under the open African sky at the waters’ edge. Accessed via a picturesque wooden bridge, the island has a west-facing thatched gazebo and a grove of Acacia trees with rustic wooden benches where you can exchange your vows.
Photographic opportunities at Bonamanzi are
endless: from sunset water-side romance to vast grass savannas or cool green
forest.
You have the option to arrange a
game viewer and/or guide to assist with this.
Bonamanzi will also gladly quote
on canapés and sun downer cocktails for your guests while you are busy with your
photographs.
Our romantic Viewing Deck is
ideal for intimate receptions of up to 40 guests. Perched on stilts above the
lily-filled Lalapanzi Dam, it features wooden floors and wrap-around views to
make a breath-taking setting.
The elegant Lalapanzi Restaurant
has an outdoor bar next to a fire pit, as well as the option of extending
tables into the gardens under a massive spreading tree.
Glass doors along the sides of
the majestic Ndlovu Hall open out to the unique sand forest surrounds.
The
vaulted thatched roof and hanging lantern chandeliers create an airy space
where up to 350 guests can dine and dance.
Bonamanzi wedding tariffs include
a basic “white” setting with standard cutlery, crockery and glassware appropriate to your menu choices and the services of an
on-site co-coordinator available during your planning and throughout your
ceremony and reception.
Color (your decor, napkins, centre pieces, flowers etc) will be for your own arrangement.
Menus are suggested by our team, who will also gladly
quote on variations.
The remainder of this Portfolio contains details about menus, accommodation,
booking your wedding date and our standard contract.
