Join us for a beautiful celebration combining the rich traditions of Eritrean and Kenyan wedding festivities. The evening will begin with vibrant, can’t-miss processions as the Bride and Groom, wedding party, and our families enter the hall with traditional Kenyan and Eritrean songs. A delicious dinner awaits, thoughtfully curated with traditional Eritrean and Kenyan dishes that are close to our hearts. After dinner, the celebration truly takes flight—with traditional dances, speeches, the cake cutting ceremony, and a special late-night treat: Eritrean and Kenyan Samosa service with Kenyan Chai and Mandazis and Eritrean Coffee service to keep you energized to dance the night away! We can’t wait to celebrate this unforgettable day with you.
