Mozambique Beach Wedding Venues

But before we get carried away we need to consider a few realities of planning a beach wedding to Mozambique. When you are planning a destination wedding  you have to think about the kind of wedding you want and very often this comes down to the budget you can spend?

A Mozambique beach wedding requires deeper pockets than getting married in your home town. Guests have to travel to the wedding, pay for accommodation and very often a wedding is also combined with a holiday. And very likely if you marry in Mozambique your guests will need to fly in to your reception.

Maputo, Bilene and as far north as Inhambane are easily accessible destinations from South Africa for your Mozambique wedding, and driveable for the adventurous from South Africa.  A budget friendly favourite is Zona Braza Beach Lodge, and other options in  Tofo and the Barra Peninsula also have some good value accommodation providers with well-priced wedding venues right on the beach to choose from.
