Weddings are meant to be joyful, not overwhelming. But too often, the process of planning a dream celebration becomes a blur of vendor lists, last-minute details, and logistical headaches. That’s where Simbali steps in—offering all-inclusive wedding packages designed for couples who want beauty, elegance, and ease all in one place.
Nestled in the heart of the bushveld just outside Pretoria East, Simbali is more than just a wedding venue. It’s a place where nature and luxury come together, where vows are exchanged in a covered open-air chapel, and where every detail—from décor to dinner—is taken care of under one roof.
In this article, we’ll explore exactly what makes Simbali’s all-inclusive approach so unique. You’ll learn what’s included, why the setting matters, and how couples are using Simbali to create unforgettable moments without the usual planning stress.
What Are All-Inclusive Wedding Packages?
Let’s start with the basics. An all-inclusive wedding package is a bundled offering that includes the major elements of your wedding day—typically the venue, catering, coordination, décor, sound, and sometimes even accommodation. Rather than sourcing each vendor separately, couples get a complete, professionally managed experience from one provider.
At Simbali, the term “all-inclusive” isn’t just a label—it’s a philosophy. The venue’s packages are carefully curated to deliver not only convenience but a high standard of quality across the board. From pre-wedding setup to final dance, everything is managed by a team that knows the space, understands the flow, and has the resources in place to handle every detail.
The Advantage of Choosing an All-Inclusive Wedding Venue
Planning a wedding can be like building a puzzle with too many loose pieces. Booking your venue is just the start—then come the florist, caterer, sound engineer, décor rentals, staffing, and on-site coordination. With so many moving parts, even the most organized couples can feel overwhelmed.
Choosing an all-inclusive wedding venue like Simbali eliminates that pressure. You’re not just booking a space—you’re booking an experience that’s been tested, refined, and beautifully delivered time and time again.
Here’s what that means for you:
- Simplified planning: One point of contact, one contract, one cohesive team.
- Consistent quality: Every supplier is vetted, every element works together.
- Time savings: No need to chase quotes or coordinate site visits with separate vendors.
- Cost transparency: You know exactly what’s included and what to expect.
And perhaps most importantly, you get the peace of mind that your wedding day will unfold exactly as planned, without needing to troubleshoot every step.
Simbali’s All-Inclusive Wedding Packages: What’s Included?
Each Simbali package is designed around the full-day experience—from the moment your guests arrive to the moment you wave goodbye as newlyweds. While specific inclusions vary by package tier, here’s what couples can expect:
Covered Outdoor Chapel for the Ceremony
Simbali’s bush chapel offers an open, natural setting with the protection of a solid roof—giving couples the feeling of being in nature without worrying about weather. Framed by lush bushveld and styled with soft draping and wooden beams, the chapel offers seating for up to 120 guests in a comfortable, serene space.
Bush Bar & Alfresco Lounge
Following the ceremony, guests are welcomed to Simbali’s Bush Bar and Lounge area—an outdoor courtyard lit with festoon lights and nestled under large trees. It’s the perfect setting for cocktails, mingling, and capturing golden-hour photographs before the reception begins.
Reception Hall with Mountain Views
The main reception area is a 400 m² hall featuring high ceilings, natural stone fireplaces, and folding glass doors that open onto a wooden deck with views of the Bronberg mountains. The space can accommodate up to 160 seated guests and is included in all venue hire packages.
Catering and Staffing
Simbali’s all-inclusive wedding packages come with a full in-house catering team. Couples can select from carefully curated menus that cover plated meals, buffets, canapés, and late-night snacks. The package includes:
- Professional kitchen team
- Waiters and service staff
- Crockery, cutlery, and glassware (with optional upgrades)
Styling and Décor
Included décor elements vary by package, but may include:
- Table settings and floral centerpieces
- Ceremony setup and welcome signage
- Cake stands, candle holders, linen, and more
Couples also have access to a styling consultation to tailor the look of the venue to their preferred aesthetic.
Sound, Lighting & DJ Services
Packages include a professional DJ and sound setup, ensuring every moment—from walking down the aisle to the last dance—sounds as beautiful as it feels.
What Makes Simbali’s Wedding Packages Truly All-Inclusive
Beyond the key features already mentioned, what sets Simbali apart is how seamlessly each element is connected. This isn’t a venue that simply ticks boxes; it’s a carefully crafted experience where every touchpoint is managed by a team that knows the space intimately. From the first planning conversation to the last dance, every detail is aligned under one purpose—making your day effortless, elegant, and completely stress-free.
Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding with just a few dozen guests or a large-scale celebration, the space adjusts beautifully. Couples never feel limited or overwhelmed. Simbali’s all-inclusive approach is about more than what’s included—it’s about how it all works together. The ceremony flows naturally into welcome drinks. Guests move from the Bush Bar to the reception hall without disruption. Each stage of the day feels intentional because it is.
Nothing is outsourced or left to chance. The décor matches the venue because it’s styled by a team that works on-site. The food arrives fresh and on time because it’s prepared in the venue’s own kitchen. Even the sound and lighting are handled by professionals who’ve worked hundreds of weddings within this very space. That level of cohesion is what transforms a wedding from a series of tasks into a fluid, beautiful experience.
More Than a Wedding Venue: A Space That Elevates Every Moment
Simbali isn’t just a setting; it’s a presence. From the moment guests arrive, they’re welcomed into a space that feels intentional—luxurious without being intimidating, stylish without feeling cold. That balance is one of the venue’s greatest strengths. You’re surrounded by nature, but never inconvenienced by it. You’re experiencing the bushveld, but in comfort, with all the modern refinements that make a wedding feel elevated.
The architecture complements the landscape instead of competing with it. The covered bush chapel offers sweeping views with a roof that keeps your guests protected, so you never have to worry about rain, wind, or too much sun. During golden hour, the Bush Bar and alfresco lounge become the heart of the experience—an open space filled with music, drinks, and relaxed laughter under the trees. Then, as the evening unfolds, guests move into the warm, welcoming reception hall where glass doors reveal the Bronberg mountains and fireplaces add an ambient glow.
Every area of Simbali serves a purpose and connects beautifully to the next. Nothing feels like a compromise. That’s what couples mean when they say Simbali “just works.”
Designed for Modern Couples Who Value Both Style and Simplicity
Today’s couples are busy. They’re looking for more than just a pretty location—they’re looking for efficiency, experience, and support. Simbali’s all-inclusive wedding packages are crafted with that in mind. Each package offers clarity, with clearly defined inclusions, upgrade options, and transparent pricing.
Couples don’t have to spend time comparing endless vendors or negotiating delivery schedules. They can focus on what matters—choosing their colors, writing their vows, and enjoying the process—because the logistics are already handled by a team that does this every week, with precision.
The packages cater to a wide range of preferences and wedding sizes, whether it’s a 40-guest intimate celebration or a 160-guest signature wedding. That flexibility ensures that no couple is boxed into a template. Every event feels personal, every setup feels fresh, and every guest is taken care of with the same high level of attention.
This is how modern luxury looks: thoughtful, tailored, and calm.
Add-On Options That Make Your Day Even Smoother
While Simbali’s core packages cover nearly everything you need for a full wedding experience, couples can also enhance their day with a range of optional extras. These include custom menus, elevated décor pieces, upgraded crockery and dinnerware, and additional services like makeup, florals, and wedding cakes—sourced from trusted providers familiar with the venue.
This means you’re not only getting convenience—you’re getting elevated choice. You don’t need to settle for the basic version of anything. You have options, and you’re supported by a team who knows how to execute your vision within the framework of what works beautifully in the space.
The end result? A wedding that’s stylish, personal, and completely stress-free from planning to pack-down.

The feedback from couples who’ve chosen Simbali speaks volumes. Guests consistently highlight the ease of working with the team, the wow factor of the venue, and how everything just felt taken care of. Reviews often mention the food quality, the flow of the day, and how the staff made everyone feel welcomed.
It’s not just the stunning visuals that make Simbali stand out—it’s the feeling of being in good hands. On a day where emotions run high and expectations are even higher, that kind of support is invaluable.

Choosing the Right All-Inclusive Wedding Package
