Wedding Package We have been organizing weddings in Watamu for over 30 years. Our experienced wedding coordinators will be delighted to work with you to ensure your day is magical and exactly what you want. You give us your dream, and we then make it happen. The details that go into planning a wedding are what truly define the memorable event. HemingwaysWatamu has wedding packages that have considered everything down to the smallest detail. We have a diverse menu selection, a selection of bar services and a stunning location to help create the wedding of your dreams. You Dream…… We Make it Come True A CHOICE OF VENUE From a simple private ceremony just for family; to receptions and dinners for over 200; we have done it all. • Garden or Beach Weddings • Dhow Weddings • Pool Terrace Areas Venue Charge - Ksh 1,000 per person
Menu Choices We have attached sample buffet menus, plated service menus and our A la Carte menu to give you an idea of the items that we produce on a regular basis. We have also included a couple of example canape choices with costs for you. We are able to make items of your choosing if you have any favourites. If you would like to choose a couple of options then these can be priced up for you. Our extensive buffet options allow your guests a wider choice than the plated service and we recommend this option for larger weddings. In order to ensure that speeches can be fit in we coordinate with you and for example have had the first speech once clients are seated, then served a plated starter to everyone; then had another speech. Then main course was a buffet and then, when most had finished this, there was the last speech and then the cake cutting and then dessert was served with the cake. Included in the per person dinner charge is the setup of tables, chairs, cutlery and crockery. We provide white table cloths and chairs. Other decorations are dependent upon the wedding group choices. We will do the decorating for you but you need to advise on what you want/need. For example one of our weddings purchased a kikoy or a khanga for each place setting which was tied to the chair backs. This provided a lovely colourful background and was also a gift for each guest to take home at the end of the evening.

THE HEMINGWAYS PERSONAL TOUCH
Infants and Children
We appreciate that traveling with children can be a challenge. A change in routine or the lack of a
favourite food can make the best behaved child upset!
Here at Hemingways we do our best to ensure that your entire family is taken care of whilst with
us. Our Chefs and Duty Managers will meet with you to discuss your child’s preferences and
requirements and we prepare meals as you prefer.
A butternut squash and spinach puree for your baby? No problem! Your 5 year old will only eat raw
carrots and grilled chicken? Coming right up!
Our kitchens are open from 7am though to 10pm so please just let us know what you need and when
and we will do everything possible to ensure your children are happy.
Mums and Dads also deserve a break and we happy to provide babysitters that we have tested and
trained. All our babysitters have had basic first aid training and are trusted members of staff who
know the hotel and the facilities. Let us know which days and how many hours and we can advise of
the charges and introduce you to the appropriate person.
We have a selection of toys and games available for children as well and arrange for fun sand castle
building activities, beach volleyball games or water polo matches, plus much more to help keep
children active and occupied.
Allergies, Dietary Restrictions and Preferences
Hemingways prides itself on our wide range of menus and the choices that we offer our guests.
However, we are aware that many of our guests have allergies or dietary restrictions that need to be
catered for during their holiday with us.
Nut allergies? Or a vegetarian? Do you prefer to avoid red meat or never eat fish? Hate garlic? Love
ugali? Please just let us know how we can help and we will do everything we can to ensure that you
enjoy your meals with us.
Celebrations
Birthdays, anniversaries, honeymoons are all made special at Hemingways. From decorated rooms,
romantic private dinners for two or a party for the whole family, bottles of icy cold bubbly, bouquets
of flowers and delicious cakes, we can offer a wide variety of special touches to ensure your
celebration is something special. Let us know what you would like and let us do the work for you.
