Join us for a joyful celebration where our cultures beautifully come together, blending 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 make their grand entrances in true Eritrean and Kenyan style—full of music, color, and life. 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, prayers and speeches, the cake cutting ceremony, and a special late-night treat: a Kenyan Chai and Eritrean Coffee service, served alongside sweet Kenyan Mandazis, crispy Kenyan Samosas, and savory Eritrean Sambusas to keep you energized to dance the night away! We can’t wait to celebrate this unforgettable day with you.
