The Oyster Box wedding venue, Umhlanga
The Oyster Box is the Durban / Umhlanga seafront hotel for a beach wedding with rooms upstairs. Published figures: garden gazebo ceremonies up to 100, Pearl Room receptions up to 120. That is a boutique hotel wedding, not a 400-guest sugar-estate hall.
KZN peak is often winter, when inland Gauteng is cold. Ask about hotel room blocks, sea-facing photo times, and whether a Saturday in June–August still has space. Compare Sala Beach House or Lagoon Beach if you want a smaller or Cape Town seaboard alternative.
