Planning your wedding

The Gambia is a fantastic choice for a relaxed wedding and offers excellent value for money, enabling you and your guests to experience an unforgettable day without the expense of a wedding in the UK or other destinations abroad. That said, there are some incredible luxurious hotels and excellent facilities so if you do have a large budget it will go a long way in The Gambia.

We have the know-how...

In The Gambia you could take your vows overlooking the Atlantic Ocean at the luxurious Coco Ocean Resort & Spa, hire the boutique Ngala Lodge exclusively for your wedding party, or honeymoon in a floating lodge at Mandina or on a wildlife reserve in neighbouring Senegal.

Wedding gift list

We will give you a booking reference which you can pass on to friends and family to enable them to pay money into your account as their wedding gift to you. This can be used to pay off your honeymoon or put towards excursions, spa treatments and other extras.
