Hi Cocoabean, firstly congratulations!

I will be Congolese engaged and getting married to a Nigerian therefore I really can relate when it comes to fusing two countries together!

There clearly was a thread for “2015 brides” in the African/Caribbean Forum and there’s much more as much as date articles with comparable brides.

I will be May 2015 so three months to get and may fortunately state i actually do perhaps not have that much left to complete even though there are things i have to do but is not done until nearer the full time.

Just exactly How will you be getting on?

I will be Ghanaian marrying A nigerian guy in August in 2010. Everything right now is going well, aside from a few relatives that are slightly unhappy in-laws in the size of the marriage. We have been having approx 110 for the and 150 for the evening day. It is possible to imagine the surprise! I am nevertheless getting several small digs but hey-ho its our time and our spending plan lol, therefore we’ll get it done exactly how we want to buy most of the some time make allowances somewhere else. Whereabouts have you been based?

NubianBride you have not got long to get after 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 goals regarding the operating purchase associated with the time and trying to consider 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 place is mostly about 10 minutes away at Hendon Hall resort. Where abouts have you been engaged and getting married?

I’m sure everything you suggest about unhappy family relations we’ve 100 time guests 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. We have simply told people who the ceremony is truly for household and friends although many think they truly are a friend that is close times 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 running purchase aspirations, At the minute i am wanting to account fully for EACH eventuality, conmon feeling informs me its absurd as you can not but it doesn’t 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 beginning to resent it somewhat as you will find individuals we wish to invite but do not have the space, yet we have been being forced to make allowances for individuals we do not know!

You’re regional ish to me personally! We have been engaged and getting married in a church that is catholic pinner after which a manor household in Watford however the house is with in Edgware chaturbate.

Hope that you don’t mind me personally asking but have you been pla ning on supplying transportation amongst the church and place? I’m presently undecided.

Hi ya I am planning and ghanian a belated 2015 wedding. I will be not used to the post and also delighted you dudes have begun. I will be actually suffering venues 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 plumped for? I’ve an approximated take a seat 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 might be the same personally as me endless listings!!

Aww yeah we have been near my fiance’s home is with in Barnet.

Well we’ve great deal of away from city guests nevertheless my uncle that is responsible for those guests has stated he can hire a mini van. But as the location generally is no more than 10 minutes from church we advised simply getting cabs or vehicle sharing. Are you experiencing large amount of visitors which need transportation? Would you ask a reliable member of the family to stay charge for this?

Welcome Shi and congratulations. The struggles are remembered by me in to locate a venue that catered to African/Caribbean weddings and so I began to locate venues which allowed outside caterers. In all honesty it is better to look for venues that enable you to definitely generate your very own caterers or have actually a directory of African/Caribbean caterers you need to use. You will find a complete large amount of venues when you look at the areas you pointed out. I’m able to e-mail you a summary of venues that I helped and collated me personally in narrowing down my location. Likewise have you seriously considered using resort hotels such as for example getaway Inn and Hilton, you will find a number of in Herts/Essex that focus on African/Caribbean weddings and permit you to definitely make your very own caterers. I’m making use of Favour Activities as well as on their site they will have a listing of venues they cater at which means you should always check them out even merely 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

Thank you for visiting the forum! Entirely comprehend concerning the trouble in finding venues that either have actually afro/caribbean caterers or permit you to generate your very own caterers. As you’re able to be versatile with location, this might start you as much as more areas. I will be engaged and getting married in tall Elms Manor in Watford, they charge ?3 per person to bring in your caterers and chair a maximum of 110 for the wedding break fast (so a maximum of ?330 to bring in your caterers) with as much as 200 for an night reception (though for me 200 will 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 you’ll need anymore information!

NubianBride – That’s fab that the church is really so near! We had been planning to take a look at Hendon Hall aswell because as stated it really is close to my loved ones house but my fiance preferred to get hitched someplace more basic, therefore our company is staying with our regional church. While the area is fairly rural there is not actually any trains and buses 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 the event!

I have had a couple of buddies utilize Favours, the meals is wearing both occasions been excellent!

Hi ha dudes. Congrats too! Lol.

Thank you NubianBride and SoLucky08.

I’ve been already in touch with our african caterers of that they have now been very useful and supportive and also a good place list on the internet site.

The best venues are considering with stunning historic architectural features are listed below. However I want these were within reasonable monetary means and that permits for external african/ caribean catering.

Banqueting hallway London

Kew Gardens, merely to name a couple of.

I wish to go out of the resorts and marquees if posible.

We have seemed around watford (since that is where We numerous numerous the full time lol) but We questioned the drive from Chiswick to Watford Or i might need to break within the times e.g. Ceremony on and reception Saturday friday. Might find! As you of you pointed out i do believe it could be perfect to shortlist then come to a decision.
