Harare Wedding Venues: Alexandra Sports Club
Alexclub as it is well known in Harare is a fairly good harare wedding venue that many couples have used in the past. It's located along Prince Edward road making it easily accessible to town. Alexclub has one huge hall which can accommodate up to 200 guests seated cinema format and up to 150 guests seated around tables accommodating 8-10 people. What we find however is that most people with 200plus guests [as in many cases] usually choose to use the open air grounds in order to accommodate more people. There are essentially two main grounds with usually well kept green grass that are avaliable for wedding functions [ the fields are also used for cricket].
A chat with the event manager at the venue revealed that currently [march 2008] the club charges Z$2.8billion [USD70.00] for the venue [hall or grounds] and this amount excludes the tent, tables, chairs etc that you are expected to hire on your own. You may also contract the club for your catering but the event manager was frank with us that this root might be a bit expensive. What most couples do is engage their own caterers. In this case the club charges you a 10% surcharge for each service you contract out instead of them. For instance, for each bottle of soft drink or plate served by your own caterers there is a 10% surcharge of their own price at the club multiplied by the number guests at your wedding. They say its a charge for the "aftermarth" clean-up! They say even after this surcharge, their rates always come out cheaper; so don't write them off as yet.
