Harare Wedding Venue: Royal Harare Golf Club
Royal Harare Golf Club is an upcoming wedding venue that many couples are increasingly finding suitable for weddings of a maximum 250 people. It's located along 5th Street extension in Harare within the State House vicinity. We had a chance for a long chat with Geeta White the current Executive Chef of SERVCOR who are the in-house caterers at the club; they are also responsible for managing weddings at the venue. Unfortunately, despite its excellent gardens and well kept grass used by golfers no garden weddings are allowed. Even more; no photos in the garden! If you host your wedding there you will have to go to the Botanic Gardens for photo shoots or elsewhere suitable as the club executive resolved not to allow garden weddings and photo shoots.
The club has a fairly huge room that accommodates 250 people at most spilling into the veranda overlooking the nice well kept golf course. Venue hire costs USD70.00 and is paid directly to the club. As we write the earliest avaliable date for a wedding booking [ which can only be on saturdays] is 13 September 2008. The club has 170 chairs and a limited number of tables meaning that you have to bring your own from outside if you have more than 170 guests. Also the club is sensitive to loud noises such that partying is only allowed after 4pm on your wedding day. Loud announcements as found at many weddings is not really appreciated due to the strict noise control regime the club employs.
No outside catering is permitted at Royal Harare Sports Club. SERVCOR is in charge of catering and can provide an excellent service at USD15-20 per person which should be paid in Z$. On menus, the caterers prefer that the couple informs them of what they prefer and they will work out how much it will cost. Decor and PA systems are up to the wedding couple to organise. The club offers no decor services.
Our verdict for Royal Harare Sport Club - 7.5 out of 10
