Weddings at Karen

Say I do in a private forest your guests won't stop talking about

Two spacious forest venues, one events team handling every detail — so you're a guest at your own wedding, not the planner.

Our Venues

Two forests, two kinds of forever

The Wetlands for close family and quiet vows. The Wedding Grounds for a full celebration. Both sit inside the same private forest.

The Wetlands, a natural setting with birdlife and water

The Wetlands

The club's conservation wetlands, reimagined for a day — an intimate, natural ceremony backdrop with birdlife as your soundtrack. Best suited to smaller, more private ceremonies.

In Their Words

Married at Karen

"We married beside the Wetlands with the birdlife as our only soundtrack. Our guests still talk about how a garden that quiet could be twenty minutes from the city."

Otieno & KamauWetlands wedding, 2025

"Two hundred guests, and it never once felt crowded. The events team handled things we hadn't even thought to ask about."

Njeri & AlexWedding Grounds, 2024

"Our families stayed at The Residences for the whole weekend. By Sunday it didn't feel like a wedding venue anymore — it felt like everyone's second home."

Frequently Asked

Questions you'll probably ask

Both venues have a covered contingency option nearby, and our events team will agree a weather plan with you well ahead of your date — Nairobi's short rains are rarely a surprise by the time we're planning together.
Our in-house catering team handles food and beverage, but we're happy to work alongside your own decorator, florist, or planner to bring your vision together.
Popular dates, particularly weekends in the dry season, are booked well over a year out. The earlier you enquire, the more choice you'll have.
Yes — The Residences are a short walk from both venues, and we regularly coordinate room blocks for wedding guests and bridal parties.
