From our very first consultation, we immediately knew that Tola would be the perfect wedding planner for us. Right away, she put our minds at ease with her wealth of experience, particularly her extensive expertise in organising international weddings.
Tola demonstrated her incredible competence by handling every aspect of our wedding preparations with meticulous attention to detail. She expertly managed venue sourcing, seamlessly coordinated various suppliers, and diligently oversaw our budget, ensuring transparency and clarity at every stage. She took charge of organising the precise order of events, helping everything to flow naturally and smoothly on the day itself. Moreover, Tola skilfully assisted us in planning a mini-traditional wedding ceremony, ensuring that our cultural traditions were beautifully woven into the celebrations.
One of the significant challenges we had anticipated was managing language barriers and logistics in a different country. However, Tola tackled this effortlessly. She proactively sourced suppliers who could accommodate us without difficulty, including negotiating with transport companies.
Throughout our planning journey, Tola consistently provided punctual updates, clear communication, and a precise timeline of milestones leading up to the big day. Her professionalism never wavered, and we genuinely appreciated the peace of mind she gave us during what could easily have become an overwhelming process. With her managing everything, we always felt confident that each task was completed to the highest possible standard.
On the wedding day itself, Tola truly exceeded our expectations in every imaginable way. Her diligence and attention to timing were outstanding. She managed the day’s schedule impeccably, ensuring seamless transitions between events and allowing us ample time to fully enjoy both our ceremony and evening festivities without ever feeling rushed.
One unforgettable moment was when the weather turned unexpectedly challenging — it began to rain, accompanied by unseasonably cold temperatures. Without hesitation, and without burdening us with the issue, Tola personally purchased blankets for each guest. This thoughtful gesture made a tremendous difference, keeping our guests comfortable and allowing them to enjoy the day to the fullest. Remarkably, she did not pass any additional costs on to us — a genuine act of kindness and generosity that we deeply appreciated and will always remember.
The feedback we received from family and friends further highlighted just how impactful Tola was. The bride’s parents repeatedly praised her incredible organisational skills, warmth, and sensitivity, describing her as “simply amazing.” Many guests commented on how polite, approachable, and professional she was, making everyone feel valued and included throughout the celebrations.
Tola’s warmth, enthusiasm, and cultural sensitivity were evident from our very first interaction, and these qualities only became more apparent as the wedding approached. What stood out most was her genuine passion for what she does — at no point did it feel as though she was simply ticking off tasks or fulfilling a routine role. Instead, she genuinely cared about every detail, mirroring our own passion and investment in the day. We felt continuously reassured that whenever Tola was handling something, it would be managed to an exceptional standard, just as if we were managing it ourselves.
Tola was not just our wedding planner; she became a trusted friend, deeply committed to making our wedding truly unforgettable. Her vibrant personality and joyful spirit made the planning process not only seamless but genuinely enjoyable.
Reflecting back, we simply cannot imagine our wedding day without Tola’s extraordinary support and guidance. Choosing her as our wedding planner was, without doubt, one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding journey. We wholeheartedly recommend Tola from Roe Weddings to anyone seeking an experienced, caring, meticulous, and genuinely passionate wedding planner.
