The couples
Whose days these were
Fourteen years of couples, most of whom arrived because somebody at a wedding asked who had run it and got a straight answer.
The couples we work with
In their own words
They ran the engagement and the white wedding eight days apart and I never once had to telephone anybody. On the Saturday I was a guest at my own wedding.
Afia Boateng
Married at Aburi, 2025
We came with a spreadsheet and a budget we were embarrassed about. They told us honestly what it would and would not buy, and then stayed inside it.
Kojo Amankwah
Married at Labone, 2024
The rain came at four. By half past the whole dinner had moved indoors and most of our guests still do not know it was not the plan.
Naa Ayeley Quartey
Married at Ada, 2025
What we are asked for
Five kinds of year
Most of the calendar
Traditional and white, a week apart
Two days, one guest list and one budget. The engagement at a family house on the Saturday, the white wedding the following weekend, and the same team on both.
A third of the year
One day, done properly
Couples who have decided on a single celebration and want every cedi of it in one room. Usually eighty to a hundred and fifty guests.
Four or five a year
Couples marrying from abroad
London, Toronto, Maryland. You are on a video call once a fortnight and on a plane twice; we do the site visits, the tastings and the arguing.
Regularly
Outside Greater Accra
Cape Coast, Ada, Kumasi and the Volta. Different suppliers, longer build days, and a production plan that assumes nothing about the power.
When the diary allows
Anniversaries, birthdays and launches
The smaller work that keeps the studio busy between seasons. Styling and production usually; a planner only when there is genuinely a year of work in it.
Why they come to us
Almost nobody arrives from an advertisement. They arrive because somebody at a wedding was asked who had run it and gave a straight answer — which is the only marketing a studio taking twelve weddings a year has ever needed.
