Everybody loves weddings;
the glamour, the colors, the music, the food, and the palpable tension
in the air everyone tries to ignore. But a wedding wouldn’t really
be as glamorous or colorful or awesome without the right venue, don’t
you agree? The venue is what brings the whole event together, and I
know how hard it is to find the perfect one.
Some people know from
a young age where it is they want to have their wedding and plan every
detail, save the groom, until the day itself. However, majority are
really just clueless and only start from scratch when the question is
popped.
Renting a hall doesn’t
have to cost you an arm and a leg, or any other body parts for that
matter. There are actually some pretty affordable places that would
be perfect for you that you don’t know about. This is why Jovago.com
Africa’s Number 1 Hotel Booking Portal has put together this list
of venue options with pretty neat packages you should consider while
planning your wedding.
In addition
to being a beautiful hotel, The Lagos Oriental Hotel has a ballroom
that would be perfect for your wedding reception. You can rent the ballroom
which can hold up to 800 guests for N1,500,000. There is no specific
wedding package per say, but there are buffet menus you can choose from,
at an extra cost, and a reservation grants you access to staff that
can help with decorations and such. Also, equipment like microphones
and lighting are free of charge.
The Grand
Towers Hotel is a gorgeous hotel located at Maitama, Abuja and they
have a picturesque banquet hall you can use for your wedding available.
Their wedding package costs about N350,000 to N500,000 and includes
Tables, chairs, table dressing, staff, glassware, cutlery, crockery,
use of the kitchen, red Carpet, and porters. If you need a band as well,
one can be provided at an extra cost.
Chida is
another amazing hotel in the city of Abuja that would be great for your
wedding reception. Although there is no wedding package available, you
can rent their banquet hall for N250,000 and transform it into your
dream venue.
Not everyone
wants a large crowd of thousands at their wedding. It can be tricky
finding a hall for the small group you’ve invited to your wedding
that is both affordable and attractive. This is why the Palazzo Dumont
is a fantastic choice. You can rent their conference hall which seats
about 150 guests (banquet style) at N250,000.
This is
also a wonderful option for a small wedding in Lagos. You can rent the
banquet hall, which holds about 200 people, for N250,000. However, there
are extra charges involved - N5,000 insurance charge is mandatory, and
you pay an extra N30,000 for waste removal. If your wedding happens
to go into overtime, you are charged an extra N10,000 per hour.
Etal Hotels,
located at Oregun, has an excellent wedding package I’d encourage
anyone to take advantage of. The banquet hall holds 400 guests, and
you can either rent it for a weekday at N350,000 or for a Saturday at
N450,000. Booking the hall for a wedding also comes with a few perks
– you get a complimentary room for changing, as well as free night’s
stay. Coolers, drums and decorations can be provided on request.
Agura Hotel,
located in the city of Abuja, may not have deliberate wedding packages,
but they have several hall options available for your reception. According
to your preference, you may choose the Banquet Hall I which holds 100-120
guests and costs NGN 120,000, or combine this hall with their Mercury
Hall to hold 250 guests for NGN 180,000. It will cost N150,000 to rent
Banquet Hall II, and you have the option to set it up to hold 150 guests
(with tables) or about 300 guests (without tables).
At the 3J’s
Hotel, Abuja you can rent the elegant Royal Gold Congress Hall, which
holds up to 600 guests, at N400,000 for that fantasy wedding you’ve
always wanted. This is perfect because it’s pillar-less and allows
your guests an unobstructed view of you and your newly acquired spouse.
At an extra charge, you can get a DJ and/or music, and catering services.
