For the health and safety of all of our guests, and in accordance with state and local ordinances, we are requiring that all guests (including plus ones) be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 prior to attending.

Our venue requires that all guests show proof of vaccination and ID upon entry. Please plan accordingly.
While we are not hosting a full traditional ceremony, we will incorporate some traditional aspects into our western wedding and reception, including a naming ceremony, a crowning ceremony and of course, a money dance!
The dress code is Black-Tie or Traditional Nigerian attire (Aso-Ebi). We encourage you to wear your most formal attire!
Yes! One Nigerian wedding tradition you can prepare for is wearing Aso-Ebi. Aso-Ebi means “Family Clothes” in Yoruba. This is when family members of the couple, decide to wear identical colors and fabrics chosen by the bride at an event to identify themselves. However it is also very common to see friends of the bride show up in aso-ebi too. The family of the groom is wearing light blue. The family of the bride is wearing burgundy.
The welcome event is on Friday September 30 at Vision on Wilshire. Think of it as a mixer for our friends and families to mingle and spend some time together before the big day on Saturday. Attendance is by no means required, but we'd love if you're able to join us!
The Ceremony is at Casita Hollywood, 1323 N Highland Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90028.
Our ceremony will be starting at 5:30pm. We strongly encourage you to arrive 20-30 minutes early, that way you can have time to mingle, settle in (and grab a glass of champagne!).
A cocktail hour and reception will immediately follow the ceremony at the same venue, Casita Hollywood.
In order to keep our guest list on track we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. Please feel free to e-mail us with any questions!
