7 Garden Wedding Venues in Kisaasi-Kyanja (North Kampala)

Garden weddings are known for that relaxing feel and if well planned give you a lot of stunning ideas for ceremony and reception. If well curated, your needs and desires will be exceeded, creating a memorable and joyful experience for you and your guests.

Among the many conveniences they offer, garden weddings take away the burden of having different venues for the ceremony and reception.  This usually makes organization easier and of course improves the quality of your function. 

But how do you select the best gardens? We all know that the venue is usually one of the highest cost items on the wedding budget. This makes it very important to choose one that best suits your needs but most importantly, in these tough times, one that is affordable and beautiful.
