Nigerian catering

Okay so my fiance and I x-ed the idea about getting married in France and we're now doing it in London which makes things a lot easier. We're doing the traditional wedding at my parents home in Surrey because they have a massive garden and we can set up marquees and stuff. I wanted to know what sort of Nig caterers you would recommend? Preferable a company with wait staff?

Also I read here about a great phorographer that specialises in Ethnic weddings, can't remember the name now... Any ideas? I think someone mentioned that their prices were off the scale, but I'd like to take a look at their web site.

Thanks a bunch ladies!!

ok when it comes to Catering..3 company names
1. Favour Events
2. Magic Fyngaz Events
3. Inspirational Caterers...these are the 3 i will reccomend any day.

oh sorry, When it comes to Potograph for me its got to be out of these 2 Guys

It's got to be favour catering. They did both my engagement and wedding and were absolutely brilliant. They provide wait staff and pretty much any additional extras you might want like fruit trees, chocolate fountains, chair covers etc. Professional and on time too!!

Another recommendation for FAVOUR. They are fantastic, everyone was talking about how nice the food was. Nigel is lovely and really accomodating. Magic Fingers is a big NO!!!

hey Ember, pls can you please say why Magic Finger is a big NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you do a YAYW search of their name you will find the reviews posted earlier in the year. My experience with them is in the process of going to small claims court. I can't say anymore until the case is resolved.

ember, pls send me an email to tell me pls cos I am thinking seriously of using them.............my email is stephanie.fabian@gmail.com. thanks

I think its unfair to make such a statement and not qualify your accusation. Sometime we don't tell the complete story.how can you say don't use them and thats it.

My junior sister and cousin used them this summer for their weddings and they were absolutely fabolous.

so Madam Emberuk, what are you not telling us? ,its either you tell the whole story or not tell us at all.

I hope you don't think i am attacking, but on my sisters wedding day, someone on this forum discouraged her from using a certain Cake Makers and she ended up using someone else that was completely rubbish.

Vendors aren't allowed to come on these forums, so it only fair that we offer other brides a balanced story so we can make an informed decision and not an emotional one based on someone else experience.

Has anyone heard of king Solomon (Caterer)? Someone recommended him to me but I haven't got contact details.

Also any advice of Favour vs Magic fingers vs Jollof Pot vs others?

I'm looking to caterer for 400 people, but do I tell the caterer to cater for more incase extra people show up uninvited? Since I am paying per head how does it work in situations when extra people show up?
