The Ultimate Wedding Planning Checklist for Nairobi Couples

Start with the big decisions: • Set your budget — Be realistic about what you can spend. In Nairobi, wedding costs vary widely from KSh 200,000 for intimate ceremonies to KSh 2,000,000+ for grand celebrations. • Choose your date — Avoid the heavy rainy seasons (April–May). December and February are peak wedding months in Nairobi. • Book your venue — Popular Nairobi wedding venues in Karen, Runda, Langata and Limuru book up fast. • Start your guest list — This determines everything else: tent size, furniture count, catering quantities.

This is when to secure your key vendors: • Event equipment rental — Book tents, tables, chairs, and linens. For a 100-guest wedding, expect to need a 10×20m tent (or larger), 100+ chairs (Chiavari or French Louis for elegance), and 10–15 round tables. • Décor & styling — Balloon arches, centrepieces, and backdrop installations should be planned now. • Catering — Finalise your menu and confirm dietary requirements. • Photography & videography — The best photographers in Nairobi get booked months in advance.

The countdown is on: • Confirm final guest count with all vendors • Finalise seating arrangements and table plan • Confirm delivery and setup times with your equipment rental company • Schedule a site visit with your tent and décor team • Prepare welcome bags and table favours • Confirm your wedding day timeline (ceremony, speeches, first dance, etc.)

Managing multiple vendors is stressful. An all-inclusive wedding package bundles everything together: • Premium tent with elegant draping • Luxury chairs (Chiavari, French Louis, or Crystal Ghost) • Styled tables with linens and centrepieces • Balloon arch or backdrop installation • Full setup and collection At Events & Party Rentals, our wedding packages start from KSh 70,000 for 20 guests and scale up to 100+ guests.
