10 Things to be thankful for in 2016

Hey guys, 2016 was a great year!!
I know some would disagree with me or maybe just question my excitement but I was just going through the year in reverse and I am in awe of the many things that have happened. I'm sure after I count mine you will have a lot to be thankful for too

1. Thankful for Life - I know I know, it sounds cliché but do you want me to name all the beautiful souls we lost in the year 2016? Imagine all they couldn't achieve.

2. Thankful for family- counting from the top, all still complete with their plus ones and twos, these people are the best support system one can ever have; always pushing you to be better with their support and criticism. What's not to love? #MyFamRocks2016

3. Thankful for Nigeria - Nigerians are the best people in the world, you best believe it. Even facing recession we held our peace together, waking up every day with hope and the zeal to make ourselves better. #GodblessNigeria

4. Thankful for wonderful clients- Did you see all the beautiful clients we had this year? Chai! They were all fantastic. From beautiful brides, mummy at 60, and the numerous corporate clients. Did you guys miss highlights? you can view the moments on our page https://youtu.be/owjtboC94qo




5. Thankful for a great Team- #MyTeamBaddest! When you have the best team everything works. I admire their ability to work tirelessly to achieve anything. (yes we play hard as well)


6. Thankful for recognition - I asked God in the beginning of this year to make my work known to people around me and I got more than I asked. Got an invite to attend the atinuda' atelier along with other professionals in the business. Mama I made it!! Imagine the feeling when Bellanaijaweddings posts your work.... it makes all the sleepless night worth it.

7. Thankful for Support and criticism - I got support and criticism from likely and unlikely avenues, but having the proper understanding that a bowl of soup prepared with ingredients of truth and consciousness isn't oftentimes licked with a smiling face I realized all constructive criticisms I received in 2016 were to prepare TheEventGirl brand for the best 2017 has to offer. So I remain grateful and appreciative!!


8. Thankful for Wedding/Event trends- Despite the economic situation in the country, grooms & brides still set fantastic trends in 2016; raising bars high enough to sometimes doubt if really the country is in recession. I remain thankful for the events that were handled by my team and the wonderful moments we all shared.



9. Thankful for the Strength to Slayy- GOD'S abundant grace kept us strong enough to weather all storms, satisfy clients, and above all get in tune with my wonderful fans/readers via my blog!! Folks we slayed it!!!

10. Thankful for 2017! - Sound the alarm! We are in the new year. Let's do it again and of course do it better. More trends to create, more events to slay, more friends to make. With GOD on our side our greatness has no limits.  We made it guys! #ThankYou

Our mission @theventgirlng is to make every bride happy so I came up with "Happy Brides are TheEventGirl brides"  and our inspiration came from all things floral ,beautiful and fun just like spring.   Contacting collaborators was the next hurdle to cross, I made a call to a photographer friend of mine and I got discouraged because w

5 Essential Tools for Wedding planners So it's our anniversary month in February ( yay I'm so excited) and I've been thinking of ways to celebrate with both clients and colleagues. Our theme for the month is "Loving is giving" and we intend to show love by giving anyway we can. Watch out for our huge giveaways next month . Today is about the 5 tools that has helped me in my business and I hope it helps you too.   1. My Diary /Year Planner - With the numerous meetings , calls and different client you talk to you need to keep up to date with your calendar to know your free time and avoid confused booking 2. My internet enabled smart phone - if you can slowdown on selfie mode for a minute you will realize that your phone can do way more than you imagine. "Google is your Friend" and I mean it literarily. I can find venues,set up the closest meeting place,get address or contact numbers all on my phone. Seriously the possibilities are endless.

The Wedding Business is “BIG BUSINESS”

Hey guys, So it’s the end of the month of March and I think this is the best time to have this post. Did you guys see all the weddings that took place in the month? "WOW" is the word that best describes the display of class,opulence and royalty in these weddings. Osibanjo & Bakare Wedding #FaMil2018 I won’t even try to shake any tables by asking which one was the best one or which bride was prettier. Let me just leave the table shaking to ...... LOL #FaMil2018 My concern today is the assumption of every one out there about the wedding business  when they see BIG weddings .  “Did you see that wedding? The decorator is in money mehn!!! “ Even I say it sometimes when I see some weddings. #FAAJI2018 Osibanjo & Bakare Wedding Everyone believes that the wedding business is big business because of what they see but being a Planner and Decorator myself I can’t help but see the hard work , persistence and brainstorm
