1,400,000 NAIRA WEDDING PLAN. 1. Wedding Venue The only two things that are usually decided on before the wedding venue are whether or not to get married and the date. The wedding venue can be costly, but you can save a lot of money by getting married on a day other than Saturday or getting a venue close to Ikeja environment which will not be as expensive as Ikeja halls but still some few minute to Ikeja and free from hold up (Berger express) 2. Reception Food and Drink Menu The best way to save on food, drink, and desserts for your wedding is to provide your own. Make enquiries of different caterers, don’t use the ones that already made big name coz they will charge you high but look for the ones that haven’t made the name and can cook even better than the name makers. find a venue that allows you to bring your own liquor, beer, and wine. The bar tab is generally the most expensive part of the refreshments. 3. Wedding Photographer and Videographer When your wedding is all said and done, you want to make sure that you have a keepsake that will remind you of every moment and every emotion of that day, which unfortunately can be very expensive. Consider ways to save, like hiring someone that’s just getting started in their career or someone who shoots weddings as a side gig. 4. Wedding Ceremony and Reception Music It can be expensive to hire a professional musician, a band, or a DJ, but luckily there are many ways to save in this category. Using an event planner you can surely get an exclusive band and DJ at a very cheap price because the band and DJ are already in good terms with the event planner coz he uses them everytime. 5. Wedding Decor It’s easy to go overboard and let the budget get out of control when decorating your venue, but luckily there are many ways to save. The easiest way to get a cheap decorator is also similar to getting a caterer, don’t get a decorator that already made name but instead get a decorator that hasn’t make much name and most importantly, the decorator must have all his decoration materials, if you go for the ones that will still go and rent, there charges will be high. Check from their past jobs and choose. 6. Ceremony Decorations Sometimes less is more, and this will help you keep the price of decorating your wedding ceremony venue reasonable. Keep in mind that depending on your venue, the setting itself may be all you need. Wedding Attire 7. Wedding Dress It’s easy to get out of control when it comes to spending money on what is usually the bride’s favorite element of the wedding – her wedding dress. Fortunately, it is also easy to save money on the dress if the bride sticks to her budget and shops wisely. 8. Menswear Even though most people will be looking at the bride, it’s also important that the groom looks good. And luckily, menswear is not nearly as costly as the bride’s dress. Men need to be flexible when choosing what they will wear on the big day and should consider alternatives to tuxedos. 9. Bride’s Hair Having a stylist come to you on your big day may be convenient, but the big bill may cause unwanted stress. Doing your own hair or going to a cosmetology school are two great ways to avoid spending a fortune on your hairdo. 10. Bride’s Makeup The same holds true for the bride’s makeup. If you have a professional do your makeup, it can be expensive. Alternatively, you can buy your own makeup and do it yourself, but that also can be costly. Consider ways to cut makeup costs, such as by using coupons to buy makeup or by visiting a department store’s cosmetics counter for a free makeover. 11. Wedding Jewelry Not only will there be an exchanging of rings during the wedding ceremony, but the bride will most likely want to wear a few pieces of jewelry to complement her wedding gown. The best way to avoid spending above your jewelry budget is to stay out of high-end stores, and borrow from friends and family. Other Wedding Costs 12. Wedding Invitations The wedding invitations are another category where you can save a ton of money by doing part of it or all of it yourself. Consider providing your own cardstock to the printer or go electronic by sending out email invitations. 13. Wedding ushers. Ushers are very important in the wedding, they help you coordinate your guests, they usher them to their seat, get them what they want, reserve the special seat for the chairmen of the day, researve seat for the men in suit, bridals train. And attend to enquiries. |

I did a research on why wedding decoration is expensive. The perfect Answer to my research is just dat most decorator doesn't have decoration material and d only solution to that is to rent from rentals which is mostly high depending on the category of fabrics, centre piece, chandelier, backdrop, table cover, chair covers etc you want to use. Most people think dis our perfect budget won't work out coz the amount is extremely small compared to all d package dat comes with it, it is small coz our decorators have all d materials u might want to think of likewise to all the d remaining vendors we are using.well we have a good CV of different clients we hve used it for and excellent feedback are gotten which even makes it for us to get more customers through referrals.........u can always count on perfect budget |
Yes, a well dedicated and experienced event planner. |

With this my PERFECT BUDGET package I can guarantee u of a perfect, successful and a dream wedding u ever wanted. • HALL CAPACITY 500 seating capacity • FULL DECORATION Lounge for men in suit and bridals train Rose table covers Centerpieces and tabletop deco LED lighting Aisle runner Rose petals Tableware Chair tie back Customized walk way Full Modern stage decoration Candle designs Flowers design Charger plate Wall draping chandeliers • FOOD 3 types of rice 3 types of swallow 3 types of soup Moi moi and salad Food to be served with fish, chicken and beef 10 servers • SMALL CHOPS FOR 300 GUESTS • CAKE 3 tier wedding cake • PHOTO SHOTS AND PHOTO BOOK • COOLING SERVICES • EXCLUSIVE DJ • HIGHLIFE LIVE BAND • MC DESMOND (MITV) • EVENT CORDINATION • 4 CUTE USHERS • HOTEL RESERVATION

I told you that LYDIA HALLS is the best in terms of affordable prices, services, modern facilities, good ambiance and with the largest parking space within Berger/Ikeja. This is a prove to everyone now, for this month of July the total event held in the hall is 30, on different days, that is the power of referral when a service is good. Almost all the schools in MAGODO, OMOLE PHASE 1&2, ikeja had their graduation....it was event back to back. there is something about LYDIA HALLS that still really make us different of all halls, why not just check in and see what i mean.
|
I need a hotel with 60 rooms anywhere in the mainland, room rate 2,500 for 6 months. Thats huge. Pls I need it urgently. |
lydia halls was not opened in October, it was opened in August 18th, 2015. The price has never been 480k, it has been 350k right from time just reduced to 300k recently. |

I will be secured and comfortable having my event here coz its a building hall fire alarm can"t easily get burnt 400 capacity largest parking space in IKeja / Ojodu projector cooking area security on standby uninterrupted power supply standby cleaners during events CCTV camera Changing room pastery outlet inbuilt sound 25 AC

This is a mqrquee tent, Always big but dangerous
|
Marquee tent getting Burnt, i could remember this experience, we all ran like ma men!
|
RISK OF USING A MARQUEE FOR MY EVENT: • Too much time taken to put up and take down a marquee after the wedding, some venues may charge extra. • If you are having the Marquee at home you will have to provide extra facilities such as toilets and possibly heating. • If you have the marquee wedding at home you may have some cleaning up to do the day after the event! • Any little fireworks inside marquee can easily burn it down. Case study BALMORA EVENT CENTRE OREGUN • No matter how many the AC put ON it can never be as cold as a hall, IT’S A CANVAS THEY EXTRACT HEAT • Not really suitable for corporate event e.g conference, seminar, e.t.c. • Can easily suffocate kids during kids party. • You should expect to pay about £2500 for a marquee large enough for 100 guests, but remember to budget for other essential elements such as flooring, linings and lighting. • The life span is short • Most facilities are built outside the tent which makes it not convenient |
