Highlighted: A family-first Kikuyu ceremony

Nairobi • 200 guests • Budget range KES 400k–650k

Problem: multiple ritual requirements and elders arriving with differing expectations. Solution: one-week rehearsal schedule, family liaison, and a detailed printed cue sheet for clergy and musicians. Result: a ceremony praised by elders for its respect and by the couple for its calm energy.
