Questions
Asked at almost every first meeting
If yours is not here, it is probably a good one. Send it and we will answer it properly.
Everything we are asked
Eight questions, answered the way we would answer them across a table.
How far ahead should we book you?
Most couples come to us ten to fourteen months out. We take a small number of celebrations a year and December and January go first, so a Saturday in the dry season is often gone eighteen months ahead.
What does a wedding in Accra actually cost?
A hundred and fifty guests done properly, with a real caterer and a real sound system, starts around GH₵ 180,000 in 2026. We will tell you honestly at the first meeting whether your number and your guest list can live together.
Do you take commission from suppliers?
No, and we never have. Every quote reaches you exactly as it reaches us. Our fee is our income, which is the only arrangement under which our advice about a supplier is worth anything.
Can you hold the traditional rites as well?
Yes. Knocking, engagement and the customary ceremony are a large part of what we do, including the parts a planner is not supposed to touch — we work with the families rather than around them.
Do you work outside Accra?
Regularly. Aburi, Peduase, Ada, Cape Coast and Kumasi are all within a normal weekend for us. Anything further carries travel and a night for the crew, and it is quoted before you agree to it.
We are only having forty people. Is that too small?
It is often the best work we do. A short guest list buys detail rather than scale, and the planning is no less involved — the fee scales with the work, not with the head count.
What happens if it rains?
There is a wet-weather plan in every running order we write, costed and agreed in advance, and we call it by ten in the morning rather than at four in the afternoon. Nobody has ever got wet.
We have planned it all. Can you just run the day?
That is exactly what on-the-day coordination is. You hand everything over six weeks out, we spend those weeks reading it properly, and on the morning we are the only number anybody calls.
Still wondering?
The first meeting is free, lasts an hour and a half, and you are under no obligation at the end of it. Most people leave with a budget range and a note of what we would do first, and about half of them go and do it themselves.
