Tongabezi Weddings
Victoria Falls is one of the world’s most spectacular locations. Imagine celebrating your wedding, renewing your vows or commemorating an anniversary on the very edge of the Falls. The Tongabezi team is ready to lavish attention on every tailor made detail. Your wedding day will begin with a registry ceremony at Livingstone City offices, followed by a unique blessing from a local pastor.
We cater for small or large groups and can arrange suitable accommodation for all of your guests in the local area. Expert staff at Tongabezi will take care of all the arrangements including the legalities required by the registry office (yes a Zambian marriage is legal and accepted throughout the world). We arrange a priest for the blessing, the order of service (if required), plus flowers, menus, cakes, guest gifts, the choir, professional photography and other local entertainment such as a DJ or local dancers.
