For Our Beloved Guests

Nigerian Wedding Guest Guide

Everything you need for #TamaAyo’26

A quick, warm-hearted guide to help you show up prepared, comfortable and ready to celebrate with us on both days.

At A Glance

The Two Days

  • Traditional Marriage — Saturday, 10 October 2026, 12:00 noon prompt.
  • Thanksgiving Service — Sunday, 18 October 2026, 10:30 AM.

Venue names and addresses are not published here — they are sent privately in the invitation card emailed to invited guests.

Dress Code

What to Wear

Traditional Marriage is full Nigerian traditional attire — no less than gorgeous. Think rich fabrics, tastefully tied gele, coordinated aso-ebi where applicable, beads, agbada, buba & sokoto. Guests without aso-ebi are warmly welcome in any elegant Nigerian traditional outfit.

Thanksgiving Service is smart, church-appropriate attire — suits, modest dresses, elegant native.

Colours of the Day

Burgundy
Brown
Gold
Lilac

Aso-ebi enquiries: please reach the bridal party through your family contact by 1 September 2026.

Arrival

When To Arrive

“12 noon prompt” means seated by 11:30 AM. Nigerian traditional ceremonies open with prayers, family introductions and cultural exchanges — you don’t want to walk in mid-way. For the church service, please be seated by 10:15 AM.

Getting There

Travel & Timing

Both ceremonies hold at private venues. The full location, directions and parking details are printed on the invitation card sent to your email — please keep it to yourself and bring it with you.

Travelling guests should plan to arrive the day before and leave a generous buffer for traffic on the morning of each event.

Gifts

A Note On Gifts

Your presence is truly the greatest gift. If you’d like to bless the couple further, a gift envelope will be received at the reception, or you may reach out to the bridal party for account details after the traditional ceremony.

Photos & Social

Share The Moments

We’ve booked a professional team, so please keep aisles clear during the processional. Otherwise — snap freely! Tag every post with #TamaAyo’26 and #DivinelyPaired so we can relive the day through your eyes.

Etiquette

A Few Warm Reminders

  • Spraying money is welcome and celebrated — kindly use fresh, small notes.
  • Respect the MC — Nigerian weddings run on the alága’s cue. Sit when asked, stand when called, and dance when the drums say so.
  • Elders first at the buffet. It costs nothing and it means everything.
  • Silence phones during prayers and vows.
  • Children are welcome, but please keep little ones close during the traditional rites.
Faith

A Word Of Prayer

#TamaAyo’26 is a covenant, not just a celebration. If you know how to pray, we humbly ask you to lift Tamarawomoemi & Ayobami before God as they begin forever. Thank you for standing with us.
