Yoruba Rites Lagos
Yoruba Rites Lagos — Customary ceremonies run with the families
About Yoruba Rites Lagos
Yoruba Rites Lagos is based in Lagos and has 7 years of experience with weddings, engagements and baptisms. A specialist who knows the customs of both families prepares the dot, knocking or wine-carrying ceremony, gathers the ceremony items and speaks for the families when tradition asks for it.
Every booking starts with a call about your date, your guests and your budget, and a written, itemised quote follows within 48 hours. Prices start from 160,000 NGN.
We work in English. Popular dates go months ahead, so it is worth asking early; sending a request is free.

Our guests are still talking about it. Worth every franc.
They understood our traditions and respected every detail.
Great value and a team that clearly loves what it does.
Exactly what we asked for, and a few touches we had not thought of.

Frequently asked
Which traditions do you know?
The ones listed on this profile, and we work with a partner for others. Mixed ceremonies are common.
Can you help two families agree?
Yes. We meet each family first, then together, so the order of the day suits both.
Do you work outside Lagos?
Yes. Within 100 km there is no travel fee; further away we add travel to the quote.
