Nigerian weddings beautifully fuse vibrant cultures, elaborate outfits, and nonstop celebrations into joyous occasions.
However, the complex layers involved risk turning your special day into disorganized chaos if not properly planned.
As Nigerian wedding consultants in Chicago, we have coordinated countless smooth and flawless celebrations over the years.
We know all the intricate steps and cultural components needing careful orchestration.
Trust us…
You do NOT want to tackle all the moving pieces alone!
Read below on how you’ll benefit by having Jokay Events manage all the planning and coordination.
Too Many Opinionated Voices
Nigerian weddings naturally come with many loud and contradictory opinions from parents, aunties, and family friends telling you what customs or trends matter most.
This barrage of “shoulds” often leaves brides stressed and overwhelmed, trying to appease everyone.
As your neutral Nigerian wedding planner, we mediate family dynamics and skillfully navigate potential landmines.
We incorporate meaningful touchpoints based on diplomatic conversations respecting varying perspectives.
Keeping Track of Moving Parts
From finding florists able to import tropical flowers to booking a live band that can fluidly combine Juju, highlife, and Afrobeat music, pulling together qualified vendors familiar with cultural customs takes work!
With deep roots in Chicago and Nigeria, we maintain relationships with a diverse talent network well-versed in traditions.
We assemble and manage your whole team so you can relax instead of making endless calls.
Juggling the Massive Guestlist
Average Nigerian weddings easily exceed 300 guests…
When you calculate friends, coworkers, extended relatives, your parents’ friends – it goes on!
Handling communication and RSVPs for that many people gets challenging.
Our online tools track guest responses in real time so we can adjust venue layouts and catering needs accordingly.
No scramble chasing down headcounts at the last minute!
Staying on Time… and Budget
Lavish Nigerian weddings run notoriously late with lengthy programs and multiple outfit changes.
As wedding designers, we work within your budget to set realistic timelines, preserving those non-negotiable moments like cake-cutting dances without off-setting other events.
As your coordinators, we keep everything timed perfectly so you avoid venue overage fees!
