Adore
A wedding is one day and about four hundred decisions. Adore carries the four hundred — the venue, the vendors, the run sheet, the aunties — so that the day you remember is the one you were actually present for.
Let us set a scene that looks like the two of you.
About the Founder
Serwaa Ankomah
Serwaa Ankomah has been planning weddings in Accra for twelve years. She came to it from hotel events, which is why she thinks in run sheets and seating plans rather than in mood boards — and why nothing on your day happens later than it said it would.

How It Works
Three conversations and one very good day
The same three stages whether you have booked us for the whole year or for the last forty-eight hours.
01
We meet, and we listen
An hour with both of you and, if it matters, both families. We come out of it with a guest count, a season, a budget you have actually agreed on, and a sense of what you would each quietly rather avoid.
02
We draw the day
A palette, a floor plan, a menu and a run sheet down to the quarter hour. You see the whole day on paper before a single deposit leaves your account.
03
We hold it together
Vendors booked and chased, deliveries received, the drummers paid, the aunties seated. On the day you carry nothing but each other.

“All we can really say is: we were guests at our own wedding. Adore ran the day so quietly that my mother still thinks nothing went wrong. Three things did. We heard about them the following Tuesday.”

A harmattan wedding, honestly
December light is the best you will get all year and the dust is the worst. What that actually means for your florals, your photographs and your guests' throats.
The knocking, planned properly
The traditional rites are not a warm-up for the white wedding. Here is the running order, who speaks when, and the four things families most often forget to agree on first.
How many guests fit in a garden
The honest arithmetic of tables, walkways, a dance floor and a generator — and why the number your venue quotes is usually about thirty too many.
Let us set a scene that looks like the two of you
Tell us the date, the town and roughly how many people love you. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right studio for it.
