So my bride thought i deserved to be pampered after a job well done and booked me a room at Intercontinental Hotel. What an awesome way to end a very busy July. The mother said and I quote, " I must come for your wedding o" now all my client's parents want to come for my wedding. The joy when these positive feedbacks get to us is immeasurable. I love what I do, we make our clients happy by planning a hitch free event. God bless La' Heiress.

More works from Ebenezer Ruth Wedding Stationery.

Awesome vendor! Y'all should try them! It was a pleasure working with you. Well done!

A client wants differ, if a client has 300k for 100 guests and wants different things, it may work for that particular client but it may not for the other, because of the their different wants. So if I give you a price and you feel its too much for you, you wont come knocking and if its too little, you may feel the same should work for you meanwhile, it doesn't mean we can't make your budget work for your wedding. Contact me, tell me your budget and let's take it up from there, okay? Hope you understand the angle I am coming from?

The feedback... This is where it gets interesting... The mother said, lamide, you are now family because nobody could have pulled this off, you were patient with us and I will definitely refer you to my friends and she did or should I say started? Right there, she introduced me to all her fri3nds and one said instantly, you are planning my daughters wedding and I have received not less than 3 bbm requests from the same wedding, all talking weddings! Yaaay!

Thank you Lord for this success, may God continue to give us the strength we need. To my team, you are just awesome! God bless you all!

Wedding logo designed by @xtrmcreations! First picture was the initial logo, then the bride wanted the j and j facing the same direction and not opposite, hence the 2nd picture.

We decided to add more glamour by making paper toppers for the finger foods, plus its more convenient to hold a paper than a toothpick! Or what do you think?

This cake ehn, if you hear the story, we kept going back and forth on the price, the baker finally agreed, she is our baker but sometimes, you have to go the extra mile for some clients to get the best and still work within their budget. When I saw the cake ehn, I almost collapsed! It was sooo big, it tasted even better! To think that we agreed on 100 cutouts and she did 200 blew my mind! She is a great baker and she values relationship over money!

#LaHeiressCouple diggin' it! The groom just wont stop telling me thank you and his friends kept asking him how he pulled it off and he would just direct them to me.

When I contacted Deev, I had my doubts as I wasn't familiar with her but she kept reassuring me and somehow my instincts just told me to go with her and deapite the fact that she had such little time to work with, she was able to pull it off! Even when I wanted her to re-do something, she didnt argue, she just pulled it straight off and started again! Impressed! Very good vendor to work with, she superceeded my expectations and I was not disappointed!

Very thoughtful of him, when building your team, characteristics like this is a huge plus! Thank you dear, God bless you!

More pictures coming up, having problems uploading the pictures, I dont know what's the cause for this.

Who says place cards can't be beautiful without frames? While we thought that frames may cost us more, we decided to have @EbenezerRuth design these beautiful table place cards and our client was just as pleased. We also made sure it reflected the theme of the wedding, orange, white, flowers!

For your wedding stationery, contact Ebenezer Ruth today and it will be a choice you will be forever grateful that you made! 07087668124 that's the number to call.

It was all about Jay&Jay last weekend! As you all know we are all about budget weddings! Inspite of the budget vs expectations, we still made it happen for the couple. The Groom and Bride's mum couldn't stop saying thank you and we got another job right there! Thank you for the referrals and thank you for choosing La' Heiress Hospitality Services.

Decided to try out some of our own (nairalanders) if we don't patronise ourselves, who will? They brought their A-game! They really did an awesome job!

CHOOSING YOUR WEDDING VENUE (questions to ask)

When brides and grooms start looking for wedding venues, too often they fall in love with the beauty of the place and sign a contract before they've considered the more practical things. But unless the place is so magical that you're willing to plan your whole event around it, your shouldn't choose between wedding venues until you've decided approximately how many guests you're inviting and the size of your budget.

You'll also need to decide if you want to have your ceremony and reception in the same place, or if you want an all-in-one wedding venue.Once you know these things, and you have a few wedding venues in mind that fit that budget and size, then it's time to start asking questions!

*What's the decor like?

*Does it fit your style and wedding colors?

*Will you have to spend a lot of money on decorations to make it beautiful?

*Do they have an in-house caterer, and do you like that food? (While an in-house caterer can be easier and cheaper, sometimes the food is not as beautiful as the room. So make sure you taste it!)

*Do they have a limitation on which outside caterers you can use?

*Do they have adequate bathroom facilities?

*Is the wedding venue wheelchair accessible? If not, are there many stairs to climb? You have to put into consideration the elderly guests you would be inviting.

*How close is the parking to the ceremony and reception rooms?

*What's the cancellation policy?

*Is there a payment schedule?

*What kind of deposits are required?

*Are there any hidden costs? (Before you sign the contract, read it carefully.)

*What are the overtime charges?

*Do they have a liquor license?

*Will they allow you to bring your own liquor? (This is usually cheaper, even with the customary corkage fee.)

*Is there room in the wedding venue for a band and/or dancing?

*Does the wedding venue already own a sound system with adequate speakers or will that need to be rented?

*Is there a space for the bride and groom to change and/or relax?

*Where will you take photographs? Is there a park nearby, or do the coordinators have recommended spots on the grounds?

*Who will be supervising and troubleshooting before and on the day of your wedding? Can you meet them now?

*Where can your guests park their vehicles? If there is no adequate space, is there an alternative parking area for them?

*Please also remember to ask if they will power the hall, especially for all the vendors that would be needing electricity for their equipments. Some halls only power the hall for the decoration and AC's, which would mean the band and DJ would have to bring theor generating sets and that could make them charge higher.

*Are there extra fees for parking?

*Is the wedding venue convenient to public transportation, especially in big cities? How long will it take your guests to get there?

*Especially in hotels or VIP lounges, restaurants, are there limitations on decorations?

*Do they limit food and drinks to only certain areas of the wedding venue?

*Are candles or other open flames allowed?

* Do they allow overnight decoration? Some hall venues are very big and would need to be set up days before the event.

* How much is their caution fee for the vendors, like the decorator, drinks! E.t.c?

*If its an outdoor location, do they have any backup plans for rain or other inclement weather? If not, is there a place that you can put up a tent? 

WHEN LOOKING AT SEPARATE WEDDING RECEPTION VENUES AND CEREMONY LOCATIONS

*How far is it from one location to the other?

*Do the two places have the same level of formality and a coordinating style?

*Do they both accommodate about the same number of guests?

*Does the wedding reception venue have any experience with weddings from your ceremony location? 

WHEN LOOKING FOR WEDDING VENUES FOR BOTH CEREMONY AND RECEPTION

*Do they own enough chairs for the ceremony, or will they need to be rented?

*Does the wedding venue have an entirely separate area for the ceremony? 

Hopefully, these questions will help you cover the basics while you're looking at wedding venues. In your search for a wedding venue, there will probably be even more questions that arise for you personally. For example, you may want the venue to reflect your heritage, or with a large wedding party, you may need ample parking for limosines.

Hope this will help in your venue searching! Good luck!
