I’m Congolese engaged and getting married to a Nigerian therefore I will surely relate when it comes to fusing two countries together!
There is certainly a thread for “2015 brides” regarding the African/Caribbean Forum and there’s lot more as much as date articles with comparable brides.
I will be May 2015 so three months to get and that can fortunately state i actually do n’t have that much left to complete though there are things i have to do but may not be done until nearer the time.
How will you be getting on?
I will be Ghanaian marrying A nigerian guy in August this season. Every thing right now is going well, find girl online aside from a few relatives that are slightly unhappy in-laws regarding the measurements of the marriage. We have been having approx 110 for the time and 150 for the night. The shock can be imagined by you! I am nevertheless getting a couple of small digs but hey-ho its our time and our spending plan lol, therefore we’ll take action how exactly we want to buy a lot of the some time make allowances elsewhere. Whereabouts have you been based?
NubianBride you have not got long to get at all! It should be exciting though. Whereabouts are you currently engaged and getting married?
I’m sure SoLucky We cant wait and I also have always been extremely really excited. Although we keep having fantasies regarding the operating order of this time and wanting to think about something that i’ve missed down lol.
Our company is engaged and getting married in a church that is catholic north london, finchley and our reception location is approximately 10 minutes away at Hendon Hall Hotel. Where abouts are you currently engaged and getting married?
I’m sure everything you suggest about unhappy family relations we now have 100 time visitors I really dont know how many will turn up in the evening although I have put an extra table out for those “uninvited guests” and at present. I’ve simply told individuals who the ceremony is actually for household and good friends although many think these are typically a friend these times lol. And so the night is principally for buddies and my h2b has plenty of nigerian buddies lol.
Do not get me started in regards to the operating order desires, At as soon as i am attempting to account for EACH eventuality, conmon feeling informs me its ridiculous from making list after list because you can’t but that doesn’t stop me!
As you, i have kept a spare dining table for ‘un-invited’ guests but I’m starting to resent it somewhat as you will find individuals we wish to invite but don’t have the space, yet our company is needing to make allowances for individuals we do not understand!
You’re neighborhood ish to me personally! We have been engaged and getting married in a church that is catholic pinner and then a manor home in Watford however the home is in Edgware.
Hope you do not mind me personally asking but they have you been pla ning on supplying transport involving the venue and church? I am currently undecided.
Hi ya I am Ghanian and preparing a belated 2015 wedding. I will be not used to the post and also pleased you dudes have begun. I’m actually suffering venues maybe perhaps not catering for AfricN/caribean weddings. I will be therefore upset since it’s like we usually do not occur! Please just exactly what venues have actually you selected? I’ve a believed sit back visitor of 110 +30/40 evening. I would personally choose anywhere Herts, Essex, or Surrey but near to London. We fellowship in Chiswick. We additionally like venues with architectural features for pictureque. Any assistance shall be valuable
Haha SoLucky you may be exactly like me endless lists!!
Aww yeah we’re near my fiance’s home is with in Barnet.
Well we’ve a complete great deal of away from city visitors but my uncle that is in control of those guests has stated he can employ a mini van. But due to the fact place generally is just about 10 minutes from church we advised cabs that are just getting vehicle sharing. Are you experiencing large amount of visitors which need transportation? Can you ask a family that is reliable to stay in cost with this?
Welcome Shi and congratulations. I recall the battles in to locate a venue that catered to African/Caribbean weddings and so I began trying to find venues which allowed outside caterers. To tell the truth it is better to look for venues that enable you to definitely generate your very own caterers or have actually a selection of African/Caribbean caterers you need to use. You will find a complete large amount of venues within the areas you pointed out. I will e-mail you a listing of venues that we collated and assisted me personally in narrowing down my place. Likewise have you considered utilizing resort hotels such as for instance getaway Inn and Hilton, you will find a number of in Herts/Essex that focus on African/Caribbean weddings and allow one to make your very own caterers. I’m making use of Favour Activities as well as on their site they usually have a listing of venues they cater at therefore you should always always always check them out even simply to get a listing of other venues that are possible. Inform me you would like that email if you need any more help and. Good luck xx
Welcome to the forum! Totally comprehend in regards to the trouble in finding venues that either have actually afro/caribbean caterers or permit you to generate your caterers that are own. As you possibly can be versatile with location, this could start you up to more areas. I’m engaged and getting married in tall Elms Manor in Watford, they charge ?3 per person to bring is likely to caterers and chair a maximum of 110 for the wedding break fast (so a maximum of ?330 to carry in your caterers) with around 200 for an night reception (though for me 200 could be a little tight! ). They do however charge corkage (which we negotiated down). We are utilising Eat Jollof London ( exact exact same group behind Jollof Pot). Inform me if anymore information is needed by you!
NubianBride – that is fab that the church is indeed near! We had been likely to check out Hendon Hall as well because as previously mentioned it is close to my loved ones house but my fiance preferred to get hitched someplace more basic, therefore our company is staying with our neighborhood church. Due to the fact area is very rural there is not really any general public transport near by, with me once again trying to plan for every eventuality, I’m wondering whether to hire a coach so we are doing the car share but. In case lol. A really high priced in case!
I have had a few buddies utilize Favours, the food is wearing both occasions been good!
Hi ha dudes. Congrats too! Lol.

I would really like to go out of the accommodations and marquees if posible.
I’ve seemed around watford (since this is where We numerous numerous the full time lol) but We questioned the drive from Chiswick to Watford Or i might need to break up the times e.g. Ceremony on Friday and reception Saturday. Will discover! As you of you pointed out it is thought by me will be perfect to shortlist then come to a decision.
