The Complete Wedding Experience at Galaxy Inn

Wedding planning has traditionally been an exercise in logistical gymnastics—coordinating multiple venues, transportation between locations, accommodating out-of-town guests, and somehow trying to make it all feel cohesive. Galaxy Inn has fundamentally reimagined this fragmented approach by creating what we call the “Wedding Ecosystem”—a comprehensive celebration environment that evolves with each phase of your special day and beyond.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of endless savannah, Galaxy Inn’s 800-meter setback from the Mombasa-Nairobi highway creates a secluded paradise that feels worlds away from urban life, despite being just 26 minutes from Nairobi’s city center via the Expressway. This accessibility has proven particularly valuable for couples with international guests, who appreciate minimizing travel time without sacrificing the “destination wedding” atmosphere.

Our wedding journey typically begins at sunrise, where our eastern-facing grassed exhibition grounds transform into a magical ceremony space. Many couples opt for morning ceremonies that capitalize on the golden light filtering through the acacia trees—creating natural lighting that professional photographers describe as “impossible to replicate in any indoor venue.” The savannah horizon stretches uninterrupted, creating a sense of limitless possibility that perfectly complements the beginning of a marriage.

Following the ceremony, while guests enjoy champagne and canapés on the lawn, our staff executes a seamless transition of the space. Many couples are surprised to learn that our three-story conferencing hall is actually three distinct venues ingeniously designed to flow into one another. The ground floor typically transforms into a sophisticated reception space, while the second floor can be configured for more intimate family dinners or as a children’s entertainment area managed by our professional childcare staff—allowing parents to fully enjoy the celebration.

The third floor of our conferencing facility has become something of a legend in Nairobi wedding circles. With 360-degree views of the savannah and retractable walls that create an indoor-outdoor experience, this space typically hosts the evening’s dancing and celebration. Custom lighting designed to complement the sunset and transition into starlit evening creates what one recent bride described as “a dance floor that feels like floating between heaven and earth.”

What truly sets Galaxy Inn apart, however, is what happens after the celebration. While traditional weddings end with a couple departing for a separate honeymoon destination, our seven luxury rental homes allow newlyweds to begin their marriage in private luxury without additional travel. Each home features secluded gardens, private plunge pools, and dedicated staff—creating a honeymoon experience just steps away from where you exchanged vows.

For wedding guests, the 26 hotel rooms provide convenient accommodation that eliminates concerns about late-night driving or arranging transportation. Our comprehensive wedding packages include a morning-after brunch service, where couples can enjoy a more relaxed opportunity to thank their guests before embarking on their honeymoon—whether that’s in one of our rental homes or elsewhere.

Perhaps most remarkably, our dedicated wedding coordination team has refined the planning process to require just three in-person meetings before your wedding day. Our proprietary planning software allows couples to virtually visualize different setups, select menu options, and communicate preferences—eliminating the dozens of vendor meetings typically associated with wedding planning.

“What Galaxy Inn offers isn’t just a beautiful location—it’s peace of mind,” explains Maria Nzomo, our head of wedding experiences. “When everything from flowers to food to photography can be coordinated through a single point of contact, couples can focus on what truly matters: celebrating their commitment surrounded by loved ones.”

This integrated approach has resonated particularly strongly with modern couples seeking authenticity over extravagance. The natural beauty of our setting reduces the need for elaborate decorations, while our farm-to-table culinary philosophy showcases the best of Kenyan cuisine without unnecessary flourishes.

Elizabeth and James Mwangi, who celebrated their union at Galaxy Inn last April, perhaps summarized it best: “Our wedding wasn’t about impressing people with how much we spent. It was about creating a genuine experience where our families could come together in a beautiful place that felt both special and somehow like coming home. Galaxy Inn gave us exactly that.”

From the first “I do” to the final moments of your honeymoon, Galaxy Inn doesn’t just host your wedding—it nurtures your beginning. In the savannah’s timeless landscape, your timeless love finds its perfect expression.
