Swahili Dhow Wedding

If you are looking for an exotic location where to celebrate your wedding without having to worry about the details, Severin Sea Lodge offers you the right locations to say your »I Dos's«. Ceremonies will be at wonderful places decorated with palms and exotic flowers. Typical African flavors, sounds and colors will make your wedding an unforgettable experience. At Severin Sea Lodge, weddings are special events with packages that can also become a lovely way to renew your vows.

You are picked up from your hotel and taken to our jetty at Jahazi marine located at the Tudor Creek. Board one of our traditional Swahili Dhows and sail towards the Old Harbor. The captain and crew welcome you on board the nicely decorated ship and a group of traditional musicians wait to serenade you as the anchor is dropped at sunset and the marriage ceremony begins. While having a glass of sparkling wine and delicious canapés, you enjoy the dreamlike scenery and the wonderful view on the vesper tine Mombasa.

When the sun goes down behind the African horizon, you sail to your private pier at the Old Harbour. From here, you will be able to walk through the old town of Mombasa to the imposing Portuguese built Fort Jesus. High above the roofs of the city, an impressive sound and light show awaits you, telling the story of the rich history of this port city. A further highlight of your day will be a romantic candle lit dinner in the courtyard of the fort.
