See them crawling outta the woodworks, the cheapskates

I have nothing against registry marriages (in fact I prefer them), but not everyone likes that.

Some people are very family oriented and like large weddings with everyone in attendance

@ Topic: Y not meet a wedding planner

tpiah:

Catering bill and reception - outdoor or indoor?

Bride and Groom wedding outfits+ rings+ change of clothes

Set up, decorations, venue and seating if you're not using wedding planner

Very important: choice of photographer

Wedding bands/dj/music



start from there with your estimates.

We, the wedding planners are already here, Tpia has already started the ball rolling

But before I talk any further, my own fee as a wedding planner is N3.5 Million Naira only, but I would do you a favour out of the kindness of my heart and only charge you 10%, which is N350,000 Naira only

In addition to this, it also depends on what you want to spend most of that money on, and also whether that budget includes your wedding gear and rings, etc

I have heard of sone reception halls costing around the N100,000 naira mark and I am sure you can get cheaper than this

Why did you think I have been shamelessly pursuing you all over NL for you to marry me if not that I need a man with endless wealth to satiate my longthroat

Okanran:

Guy, abeg when I advised u 2 meet planners God knows I didn't have the likes of onidi alada nla in mind!

@ Topic: Get married to ur wife within ur mite, so long as u guys love each other nuffin do u! Pls avoid planners cum killahs.

tkb417:


exactly!
I know someone who will collect between 1.2 and 2m to plan
Then talk of the attires (The suits and the natives) between 500-1m
Hall between 100-250
Food-1m
Drinks1m
Sundries/music/live band1m
Cake and decors-500-1m
Rings, Recordings, wedding album, honeymoon 1-2m

sum it and lets see

if you take 40% of the base costs in trying to go cheap, im sure the dude will still do more than 450k
Siena is loaded enuff to satisfy ur long throat

tpiah:

am I missing something or what kind of food are they eating for N1 million?

No be jollof rice them dey serve for wedding abi Naijas don dey chop caviar?

Drinks for 1 million?

total number of guests is 150 people. Lets assume another 100- 200 will gatecrash making say 350. (especially if the wedding is held in the village).


I wish my mom were here so I can ask her to give me an estimate of how much food would be needed to feed 350 people.

anyway, considering the cows that have to be slaughtered, I guess upwards of half a million may be necessary.

lets say 3 cows for about N300,000. Plus maybe 10 goats @ up to 100,000?

just guessing.

Reception venue could be cheaper if it's outside Lagos, PH or any of the big cities.

and if you're doing plate per head, 150 times say N3000 per plate is still N450,000, conservative estimate.

Okobo oko Tgirl4real, no be you talk say he should get a wedding planner, after all that discount I gave him, you people like free things sha, I don talk my own sha, hit me up if you still require my service

big_bumper:


Fellow wedding planner, you berra negotiate your own price too

A bag of rice is N8,000.

N100,000 per cow, you are having a laugh That would not even buy you the tail

tkb417:

Tpia
im not talking of a budget of 150. All i wanted to do was give an estimate for a society wedding where all are invited.
Trying to estimate a low keyed one, i assumed taking 40% of my base costs to arrive at what could be suitable for a few people like the OP really want. In essence, just trying to say 450k wont be enuff for what he wants to do. The REG will be the most ideal thingy to do

Okanran:

Of-course I intend to invite u to a pre-qualification process when my wedding comes up. Just so u know, u'll be competing against established planners. . . shey emi e gbe

tpiah:

my own price is 30% of the total I give discounts


but seriously, the average cow is N100,000, I think. Fairly meaty one is N150,000 and above.

N200,000 is too much to pay for a cow unless its a prize bull you want to use to improve your other stock

imo- not set in stone oh

My mom told me the cost of a bag of rice but I've forgotten. Probably around this price you're quoting. But it should feed close to that 150 people, or at least one quarter/half of them.



gotcha.
