Atiya & Lateef’s Nigerian Wedding at Ambassador Banquet Hall, NJ

When Atiya, an American bride, set out to celebrate her love with Lateef, her Nigerian groom, she knew she wanted a traditional Yoruba wedding that honored his rich heritage while ensuring a flawless, joy-filled experience. From the very beginning, she placed her full trust in Events by Kae to bring her vision to life—right down to the last detail.

Embracing Tradition with Elegance

A traditional Nigerian wedding is more than just a ceremony—it’s a vibrant, cultural experience filled with deep-rooted customs, music, and stunning attire. For Atiya, stepping into this world was both exciting and meaningful. She was radiant in her exquisite green aso-oke attire, complete with a beautifully tied gele (head wrap), perfectly complementing Lateef’s regal agbada.

One of the most heartwarming moments of the day was seeing Atiya embrace her new cultural traditions with pure joy. From the moment she looked in the mirror, she couldn’t stop admiring her transformation.

The Beauty of Cultural Fusions

From the grand Yoruba entrance, where both families blessed the couple, to the spraying of money (a joyful Nigerian tradition symbolizing prosperity), every aspect of the day was steeped in tradition yet uniquely theirs.
