Hi Cocoabean, firstly congratulations!
I’m Congolese engaged and getting married to a Nigerian and so I will surely connect when it comes to fusing two countries together!
There is certainly a thread for “2015 brides” in the African/Caribbean Forum and there clearly was much more up to date articles with comparable brides.
I will be May 2015 so a few months to get and may fortunately state i really do n’t have that much left to complete even though there are things i must do but can’t be done until nearer the time.
Exactly just How are you currently getting on?
I will be Ghanaian marrying A nigerian guy in August this present year. Every thing right now is certainly going well, aside from a few somewhat unhappy family relations and in-laws in the measurements of the marriage. We have been having approx 110 for the and 150 for the evening day. You are able to imagine the surprise! I am still getting a few digs that are little hey-ho its our day and our spending plan lol, therefore we’ll do so how exactly we want to buy most of the time and make allowances somewhere else. Whereabouts are you currently based?
NubianBride you have not got long to get at all! It must be exciting though. Whereabouts have you been engaged and getting married?
I’m sure SoLucky We cant wait and I also have always been extremely really excited. That I have missed out lol although I keep having dreams of the running order of the day and trying to think of anything.
We have been getting married in a church that is catholic north london, finchley and our reception location is approximately 10 minutes away at Hendon Hall resort. Where abouts will you be engaged and getting married?
I understand that which you suggest about unhappy family members we now have 100 time visitors although We have placed an additional dining table out for many “uninvited guests” and also at current i truly do not understand how numerous will arrive later in the day. I’ve simply told individuals who the ceremony is truly for household and good friends although many think they have been a good friend these days lol. Therefore the is mainly for friends and my h2b has a lot of nigerian friends lol evening.
Do not get me started concerning the operating purchase ambitions, At as soon as i am attempting to account fully for EACH eventuality, conmon feeling informs me its absurd as you can not but that does not stop me personally from making list after list!
As if you, i have kept an extra dining table for ‘un-invited’ guests but i am starting to resent it somewhat as you can find individuals we wish to invite but do not have the space, yet we have been 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 after which a manor home in Watford however the home is in Edgware.
Hope you do not mind me personally asking but have you been pla ning on supplying transportation amongst the church and place? I am presently undecided.
Hi ya I am planning and ghanian a belated 2015 wedding. I will be not used to the post and also pleased you dudes have begun. I will be actually experiencing venues maybe maybe maybe not catering for AfricN/caribean weddings. I will be so upset given that it’s like we try not to occur! Please exactly exactly what venues have actually you opted for? I’ve an projected take a seat visitor of 110 night +30/40. I might prefer anywhere Herts, Essex, or Surrey but near to London. We fellowship in Chiswick. We additionally like venues with architectural features for pictureque. Any assistance will be valuable
Haha SoLucky you’re exactly like me endless listings!!
Aww yeah we have been close my fiance’s house is with in Barnet.
Well we’ve a complete large amount of away from city visitors but my uncle that is in control of those guests has said he can employ a mini van. But since the venue generally is just about 10 minutes from church we advised simply getting cabs or vehicle sharing. Are you experiencing a complete large amount of visitors which need transport? Would you ask a dependable member of the family to be in fee with this?
Welcome Shi and congratulations. The struggles are remembered by me in shopping for a venue that catered to African/Caribbean weddings and so I began trying to find venues which allowed outside caterers. To be truthful it is better to look for venues that enable you to definitely make your caterers that are own have actually a list of African/Caribbean caterers you should use. You will find great deal of venues when you look at the areas you pointed out. I will email you a listing of venues that we helped and collated me personally in narrowing down my location. Also provide you seriously considered utilizing resort hotels such as for instance getaway Inn and Hilton, you will find a number of in Herts/Essex that appeal to African/Caribbean weddings and permit you to definitely make your very own caterers. I’m utilizing Favour occasions as well as on their site they’ve a variety of venues they cater at therefore you should always always check them out even merely to get a listing of other feasible venues. Inform me you would like that email if you need any more help and. Good luck xx
Welcome to the forum! Completely realize concerning the trouble in finding venues that either have actually afro/caribbean caterers or permit you to make your very own caterers. You up to more locations as you can be flexible with location, this may open. I’m engaged and getting married in High Elms Manor in Watford, they charge ?3 per person to bring in your caterers and seat a maximum of 110 when it comes to wedding break fast (so a maximum of ?330 to bring in your caterers) with as much as 200 for a night reception (though in my experience 200 could be a bit 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 you’ll need anymore information!
NubianBride – that is fab that the church can be so near! We had been likely to take a good look at Hendon Hall aswell because as previously mentioned it is close to my children house but my fiance preferred to somewhere get married more basic, therefore our company is staying with our neighborhood church. Given that area is very rural there is not actually 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 the event lol. A really high priced in case!
I have had a few buddies utilize Favours, the meals is wearing both occasions been great!
Hi ha guys. Congrats too! Lol.
Thank you NubianBride and SoLucky08.
I have recently been in touch with our african caterers of which they have already been very useful and supportive and possess a venue that is good on the web site.
The perfect venues are considering with stunning historic architectural features are listed below. However I want these were within reasonable monetary means and therefore permits for external african/ caribean catering.
Banqueting hallway London
Kew Gardens, merely to name several.
I wish to go out of the accommodations and marquees if posible.
We have seemed around watford (since this is where We many many the full time lol) but I questioned the drive from Chiswick to Watford Or i might need certainly to break up the times e.g. Ceremony on and reception Saturday friday. Will dsicover! As you of you talked about i believe it will be ideal to shortlist then come to a decision.
SoLucky08 High Elm Manor appears really lovely and exactly what a fantastic deal! Great to learn that Jalloff Pot are behing Eat Jallof London them online under their old name because I was trying to find.
