Intimate Giraffe Manor Wedding

We chose the venue because we had visited Kenya and Giraffe Manor in 2019. So we knew then that it was an experience we wanted to share with our loved ones. Therefore, rather than spending our savings on a big wedding with lots of guests, we decided to instead use our budget to take our daughter and our parents on a once-in-a-lifetime experience. With two nights at giraffe manor for our wedding day, followed by safari in the Masai Mara, it was a dream come true. 

It was an elopement wedding in Kenya, so we were very limited in what we could bring. The vibe was very relaxed. I did my hair and make-up myself in my room, together with my mum and little girl. Then we had a very intimate little ceremony followed by afternoon tea in the African sunshine with the giraffes. If we had any advice... It's your day, so prioritise yourselves and your wishes. Everyones idea of a perfect wedding day is different. So just make sure you do what makes you happy rather than trying to please other people!
