Our resident herd of elephants can participate in your special day. There is nothing more wonderful than a union being blessed by these gentle giants. WE LOOK FORWARD TO HELPING WITH YOUR SPECIAL DAY AND WE WILL DO ALL WE CAN TO MAKE IT EXTRAORDINARY. CEREMONY Weddings Knysna Elephant Park The Chapel and adjoining reception venue, the Lapa, are both beautifully situated at the edge of pristine indigenous forest and overlook the Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma mountain ranges, providing the perfect backdrop for your occasion. The intimate Chapel can accommodate up to 100 guests. Natural wooden details and a thatched roof offer a unique African feel and the large windows mean that beautiful views of the surrounding landscapes are included. Seating and decor can be arranged to suit your specific requirements and theme. A small pathway leads you from the chapel to the reception venue, where you can greet your guests as husband and wife for the very first time. For those smaller, more intimate occasions, where your guest number is no more than 12, we can arrange for an outdoor ceremony with the elephants as a backdrop. The exclusivity of the wedding venue does not allow for guest cars. Transport for your guests to and from the venue to the main parking area is included in the wedding package, as is transport for the bride before the ceremony. RECEPTION Our spectacular functions venue, the Lapa, is situated overlooking a valley filled with indigenous Knysna forest. With its open-plan design, 180-degree views and natural rustic finishes, it offers a true taste of Africa yet adapts easily to a variety of themes and décor. Wooden tables and chairs are available for your use, but you are welcome to hire additional furniture if required. Our Lapa has proved to be a highly adaptable space, allowing for a relaxed, rustic feel, as well as a sophisticated, elegant affair… the choice is yours. A vast deck and kitchen complete the facilities.
