Weeks ago Tee-Billz mentioned in an interview that he was planning for a small wedding. However, lastweekend Lagos saw the wedding which now records as one of the most star-studded weddings in recent times.
The traditional wedding ceremony of popular singer, Tiwa Savage and her manager/hubby, Tunji 'Tee-Billz' Balogun may have gulped nothing less than N30m, by NET's calculation.
Starting with the invitation cards, For Tiwa's personality and status in the society, there's no doubt that the couple would have been looking at over a thousand guests. The Fuchsia and gold coloured invitation card came with small access cards for entry into the venue, all packed in a beautifully designed paper bag. 500 pieces of the package costing an average of N5,000 each amounts to N2.5million. Courier company, Compton Green Express delivered the bag to the guests, and that's a service that the couple would have had to pay for too.
Except for a few glitches, it was a well-organized wedding by the wedding design and planning outfit, The Wedding Company. This was the same company that handled musician Darey Art Alade's wedding to wife Deola as well as Basketmouth's wedding to Elsie. A former client of the company tells an online media that the company's fee is related to the details and how classy the clients want it.
For Tiwa/Tee-Billz, putting down a staggering figure of N6million to achieve a memorable day wasn't a problem at all. Although the official wedding colours were fuchsia and gold, most of the hall was beautifully lit with white and orange. Uche Majekodunmi's Newton and David were hired to do the decorations of the hall. The award winning event design and décor company were paid N2m for tuning up the ambience of the hall.
The venue of the wedding, Ark Vicinity in Lekki, Lagos is fast becoming one of the most patronized event centres in Lagos. This was the same venue where Peter Okoye of Psquare wedded his wife Lola Omotayo just the previous week. With its proximity to a 5-Star hotel, Vantage Hotel and the exquisite Lekki Beach, insiders claim a day's rent of the venue could go for up to N3.5million depending on the negotiation.
It may amaze you to know that the beautiful white and creamy Tiwa/Tee-Billz wedding cake costs well over N2m. Outrageous, right? Welcome to the world of celebrity cake makers. Read more
