haba! U neva born am ni? 24 -25 don do to marry o. Make dem no tey for house like we

chaircover: Unless the wedding is a small one, you will need a lot more than 10 servers. If you have two thousand guests then it means one server is serving 200 people and out of those 200 people there are guaranteed to be 20 fussy guests who will engage the caterers with one complaint of meat size or the other. You also cant just throw the food down at the feet of VIP guests. You ask them what they want, then you bring the food with courtesy, style and panache LOL.

Ronke catering aiye isin ti yato o! I have a caterer that only uses Damask material as table cloths.

Like Tgirl said one caterer can do one thing and the other to do something else. Even the small chops sef na another caterer I go use so that my main caterer can focus on serving my guests.

Its the food and music that makes or breaks a party. God forbid one spends millions and millions of Naira and your guests go home hungry while coolers and coolers of food are getting spoilt in the caterers van.

Gat you wella.....should we then do a caterer and an olokpo?....me, i don't want to pay 500k naira each to two different caterers ooo, i don't have that money ooo

chaircover: n

OMG! Chaircover is a razz Ibadan mama, forming Lagos/London babe on Nairaland!!!! The wind don blow oh! And what the wind has revealed is rather shocking!

.

Last I heard, Ibadan Zoo is empty! All the animals escaped to Lagos! Even my "friends" at the zoo know better than to keep living in that dead village! I haven't been back there in more than a decade and I am surprised that giant, sprawling mess still exists!

From a business angle, are you sure an Ibadan bridal shop makes sense? Were you fleeing the saturation of Lagos markets or did you open the shop to capture the under-saturated Ibadan market? You do know that most people from Ibadan village travel to Lagos for shopping right? I know because I have this ancient aunt that used to stay with us on her regular shopping trips to Lagos to stock her fabric shop at a place called Bagi Market.

So tell us, how has the experience being so far? Is market selling? Do you take out ads in the dailies or on TV? Who is in charge of your shop while you're chasing Mr CC for kpekus in London? Has the person stolen you blind yet? I am so curious about people that run small businesses in Nigeria, especially in places outside Lagos. Much respect for your entrepreneurial spirit madam! Please make sure the children don't develop Ara-Oke accents!

chaircover: LOOOOLLLLLLL Moremi you are mad mad mad

Ok without spilling too many of my business secrets I can tell you that for ME Ibadan is more lucrative than Lagos

The Ibadan that you diss AKA Brown roof city LOL is not too bad. Inu ikoko dudu ni efo funfun tin jade Besides, where else apart from Oje market in Ibadan that you can buy a basket of oranges for N500.

The Zoo still dey o! and your friends are still there and at only N200 (I think) entrance fee its superduper value for money. Apparently they have a lot of sponsorship from foreign conservation departments. The animals are well fed and looked after and there are a lot of different species there.

. .. and what you said about animals escaping to Lagos is a family joke word has it that during the ogunpa flood in ibadan, all the animals at agodi gardens escaped and we tease the person who told us the story that when the python met up with the tiger in Abakaiki, the python asked the tiger if he had heard any news on the flood subsiding and if it was safe to go back to Ibadan

LOL! Jokes aside, I am happy things are working out in "IB" as my sister calls it. I didn't even know that naija oranges come in baskets! Just like tomatoes from the North? Chai! I learn something new everyday.

More power to you CC! Too bad I don't have any friends that would do their wedding shopping in Ibadan! I would happily send them your way!

chaircover: LOOOOLLLLLLL Moremi you are mad mad mad

WeddingFever: Please for a newly engaged person, pls where does she start from and how many months should i give for the planning?

I believe August is fair enough, but six month is better. U should start first by you both determining your budget for the ceremony and the type of wedding u want.

P.S

I'll be moving this thread to Events section so that we can get better responses.
