Weddings & Celebrations at Southern Sun Ridgeway

A Venue Worth Celebrating

Pretty Gardens is a dedicated wedding coordinator to support you from planning through to party, restaurant catering, and a venue with space for up to 150; this is a Lusaka wedding venue that is easy to fall in love with.

Our experience in hosting combined with a network of preferred suppliers makes your big day uniquely you, from table settings to menu options and from décor choices to wedding cakes. Big gardens surrounding the property are perfect for small celebrations and photo backdrops, while the location makes it easy to get from ceremony to reception whether yours is a civil ceremony in nearby government offices or at the Anglican Cathedral across the road with its impressive stained-glass hall.

Wedding Packages - Romantic celebrations without the less-than-romantic wedding planning stress. Our wedding packages include favorite menu choices, inclusive wedding celebration must-haves, a complimentary honeymoon-starting overnight stay with sparkling wine, and wedding package prices that won’t sweep you off your feet.

Tropical Gardens - Tree-edged lawns and flowering tropical greenery with plenty of palms as well as our courtyard ponds with resident weavers, fish, and baby crocodiles, all looked after by a team of full-time gardeners. From the fountain fronting the hotel to the garden pool area with its covered section, daytime wedding events, special occasions, and photo opportunities can be enjoyed throughout our grounds.

Restaurant Quality Menus - Musuku’s reputation for buffet spreads goes beyond the famous weekend breakfast buffet and daily dinners with culinary event menus that include plenty of guest favorites presented with pretty plating. Locally sourced ingredients, imported wines and beers, and a mix of Zambian and international dishes with choices including beer battered fish fillets, whole local line fish, spicy lamb curry, crème brûlée and tiramisu.

City Convenience - A 30-minute drive to Kenneth Kaunda International Airport and only 3km from the city center, our event venues are perfectly positioned for overseas arrivals and Lusaka locals. The Ridgeway neighborhood offers inner-city convenience without the inner-city congestion.
