Omolade & Chris' Traditional Nigerian Wedding in Pennsylvania

Some weddings are extra special because of the love and intentionality poured into every detail. For Omolade and Chris’s traditional Nigerian wedding in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the groom took the lead in planning the celebration himself! Our role was to coordinate and execute his vision on the Day-of, ensuring that every element came together seamlessly.

The wedding was filled with rich Nigerian tradition, color, and joy. From the stunning attire of the couple and their bridal party to the cultural dances and heartfelt moments, Omolade and Chris’s celebration was truly unforgettable. Their families and friends came together to honor heritage, love, and unity in a way that perfectly reflected who they are as a couple.

A wedding planner experienced in Nigerian weddings ensures that every detail is coordinated so you can enjoy the day without stress.

2. Can you plan Nigerian weddings outside of New Jersey? Absolutely. While I’m based in New Jersey, I travel across the U.S. to help couples celebrate their Nigerian and multicultural weddings. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, is just one example of a location where I’ve coordinated weddings.

3. What is the difference between day-of coordination and full-service planning?
