Events we've run
Three nights, told properly
A gallery tells you what a room looked like. These tell you what actually happened in it, including the parts that nearly did not work.
Last year
A hundred and eighteen evenings
Most of them were weddings, and most of the weddings were in Greater Accra. The three below are here because each one taught us something we now do on every booking.

Wedding · Kumasi
A traditional morning and a live evening, in one day
Six hundred guests, an engagement ceremony at eleven and a reception at seven, in two venues forty minutes apart. The family wanted kete drummers to walk the elders in and a full band after dinner, and had been told by two suppliers that it would mean two crews and two sound systems.
It meant one. Selorm's ensemble opened the morning, the rig went in at the reception venue while the ceremony ran, and the band picked the same rhythm up at nine so the evening felt like a continuation rather than a second event.

Corporate · Airport City
An awards dinner that finished on time
A bank's annual dinner: nine hundred covers, twenty-two awards, a Managing Director's address and a hard stop at eleven because the hotel had a wedding in at seven the next morning. The previous year it had overrun by ninety minutes.
We rehearsed the award sequence with the stage manager on the afternoon, put a radio on every one of the four crew and printed the running order to the minute. The last award was handed over at 22:47 and the band played until eleven exactly.

Concert · Labadi
Two thousand tickets on our own PA
Our own promotion: an outdoor night on the Labadi road with four acts, a sunset start and no venue infrastructure at all. Everything from the power to the barriers was ours to bring, and every mistake was ours to pay for.
It sold out eleven days ahead, ran to the published stage times and finished with the site cleared by two. It is the night we point corporate clients at when they ask whether we can handle scale.

Testimonials
Real nights, real rooms
Nine of the two hundred and twelve reviews left for us since 2019.
“We had four hundred people in a garden and not one of them noticed anything being carried. The band started at nine and we could not get anybody to sit down again.”
Afia Boateng
Wedding · Aburi
“They quoted in writing, they held the price, and the invoice at the end was the quote. After eleven years of company parties I did not know that was possible.”
Kwesi Ampofo
Head of People, Nkabom Bank
“The horns learned my mother's favourite hymn in her key and played it while she came in. She has watched that video every week since.”
Naa Dedei Lamptey
Anniversary · East Legon
“Our AGM ran to the minute for the first time in six years. The producer had a radio and a printed running order and simply made it happen.”
Seth Nyarko
Company secretary, Volta Foods
“I asked for something warmer than the mood board and they redrew the lighting plot the same evening. It looked like the drawing on the night, which never happens.”
Esi Ofori-Atta
Wedding · Labadi
“Two thousand tickets, their own PA, their own crew, and the doors opened on time. They promote their own nights, so nothing about ours surprised them.”
Yaw Antwi
Promoter, Chalé Sessions
“The traditional drummers walked my father in and the band picked the rhythm up without a break. It is the moment everybody still talks about.”
Ama Serwaa
Engagement · Kumasi
“They turned a warehouse in Tema into somewhere you would happily get married. I still do not entirely understand how.”
Daniel Mensah
Launch night, Korle Works
“Our guests were from nine countries and the set list somehow spoke to all of them. Highlife at midnight had the Germans on the floor.”
Mabel Quartey
Conference dinner · Airport City
