Marrying A Yoruba Woman by Nobody: 3:07pm On Dec 18, 2016 |
Marrying a Yoruba woman may seem cheap whwn you take a look at the eru iyawo list but i assure you it is not for the faint hearted. It is one thing to make it past the engagement list but performing up to expectation at the wedding proper is a different ballgame entirely. Am going to break down the cost per section involved. This is from my personal experience from weddings of siblings, cousins and so on. MaGent77 Sukkottt Orikinla Photoshoot 4 Likes 5 Shares

Food One characteristic of Yoruba parties in general is food and by food i mean excess food. Cost of getting a caterer to prepare dishes varies. It ranges from as low as #2000 to as high as #10000(or even more) per guest. Obviously the higher the price the more food choices you get. For 350 guests, between #750000 and #3500000 should do. 2 Likes 2 Shares

Drinks Soft drinks definitely cost cheaper as oppose to exotic wines and alcoholic drinks. #400 per guest should cater for soft drinks. So for 350 guests #140000 will do. If you are including luxury wines and the rest, budget very well above this. 1 Like 1 Share |

I see! It may be "subtle" but this thread "exudes" Tribalism. |

Hall/Hall Decorations Depending on the wedding location, a minimum of #300000 should suffice for wedding venue. Who handles the decoration dictate decor cost. Also how bogus you want the decoration will determine how expensive. Decorations could range from as low as #500000 and could go as high as #4000000 1 Like 1 Share

Fabric/Aso-oke Quality of the fabric determines cost and this could range from a mere #100000 to more than #300000. Of course you will spend more if you're looking at embellished costume. For Aso-oke anything from #200000 - #450000 should suffice. 2 Shares

Hmmm.. It depends on individual choice. There are low key weddings too. Just that most Yoruba mothers want their daughters married off in a colourful and lavish wedding. They will go any length to make sure the father approves of it. NB: To all unmarried fellas out there, marriage goes beyond wedding celebration. Life after marriage should top your priority when you are ready to get married. 4 Likes |

Makeup and Beads Makeup artist tends to charge more for bridal makeovers so depending on the popularity and expertise of the makeup artist you should be looking at #150000 - #250000 and above. Cost of beads is dependent on the complexity of the design and the quality of beads used. For beads #85000-#200000 should do. 2 Likes 3 Shares

Photographer This one depends on several factors. How many hours he will be working,number of days, etc. Cheap photography costs about #200000 and some can be as expensive as #1000000.

Music Depending on how you want your music DJs and live bands charge about #200000 but if you want Olamide or Davido to put up a special performance you better look into a minimum of #1000000 1 Like 1 Share |

Ushers An old friend of mine is into ushering and she told me agents charge about #15000 per usher (note that this was as at 2013). So presently #15000-#20000 per usher. #150000-#200000 for 10 ushers. 1 Like

Souvenirs Another characteristic of Yoruba weddings is souvenirs. Souvenirs by groom's sister, bride's mother, bride's aunty, bride's siblings, groom's friends, bride's friends, groom's brothers, cousins and other distant relations. The groom wouldn't pay for these but there's also a thanks for coming which is the couple's souvenir. Most times this may be a customised bag containing jotter, pen, handfans and other items but it could also be other unique gifts like powerbanks. (Yes I've gotten speakers as souvenirs) Estimate is #250000 - #300000 2 Shares

This is just an estimate anyone can cut cost by involving skilled family in certain services. Also if you want a themed wedding be ready to spend more. Happy planning
