What We Do
Four celebrations, one practice.
A Ghanaian marriage is not one day and pretending otherwise is how families end up exhausted. We work the whole arc — and you can take any part of it.
The Knocking
Six months before
The bride's family house
Kwabenya, Greater Accra
Schnapps, the list, and the two families meeting properly for the first time. We write the list with your aunts, price it, source it and pack the boot.
How we prepare itThe Engagement
The Friday before
Peduase Valley Lodge
Aburi Road, Eastern Region
The cloth, the canopy, the drums and the order of the rite. We hold the whole afternoon — the linguists, the seating, the drinks and the timing — so your mother can sit down.
What we bringThe Wedding Day
Saturday, from nine
Christ the King, then the lawn
Cantonments, Greater Accra
Church at eleven, photographs at two, the lawn at five. One of us is with the couple all day and one is at the venue from six in the morning.
How the day runsThe Reception
Saturday, from six
The lawn, then the floor
Anywhere with a generator
Food at seven, speeches at eight, the floor at nine and nothing after midnight without a licence. We hold the run of show and the band holds the room.

Six things we always do
Whatever you take, these are the parts a wedding falls over without.
The list
Written with your family, costed in cedis, sourced from the shops we have used for sixteen years and packed in order. You approve it once and never think about it again.
Included in every collection
The drawing
Every table, canopy, backdrop and length of cloth drawn to scale and in colour before a supplier is contacted. Two rounds of changes are free; a third has never been needed.
Included from the Engagement collection up
The suppliers
Marquee, floor, generator, sound, catering, cake, cloth, beads, cars, photography, film. We contract them, we chase them and we pay them from your budget in front of you.
Included in every collection
The run of show
Minute by minute from six in the morning, with a named person against every line and a copy in the hands of the priest, the linguist, the MC and the band.
Included from the Engagement collection up
The guests
Invitations, replies, seating, the table plan, the dietary list and the eleven people who arrive without having replied. Yaa runs this and it is the reason nobody queues.
Included in the Whole Weekend collection
The second wedding
A full wet-weather plan drawn under every outdoor ceremony we run — tent, flooring, generator, and the twenty minutes it takes to move four hundred people under cover.
Included in every outdoor booking
Three ways to work with us
The whole thing
From the first meeting to the last car. Most couples marrying in Ghana from abroad take this, because the distance is the problem it solves.
The day itself
You plan it; we run it. We come in eight weeks out, take the plan you have made, contract what is left and hold the three days. Cheaper, and it works — provided the plan exists.
The rites only
The knocking and the engagement, with the white wedding left to you or to whoever is doing it. Common where one family is in Accra and the other is not.
Tell us the date, the two families and roughly what you had in mind. We will tell you what it costs before we tell you anything else.
We take on around twenty weddings a year and the good Saturdays go eighteen months out.
