Paulina Opoku-Gyimah says: Since I started researching my Chic weddings in Ghana Report -I’ve been telling all my friends to get into the wedding planning industry in Ghana, -its truly recession proof..

We all know that the west is in freefall -and as Ghana or Africa for that matter has been in recessions since its inception, -the double-dip recession that’s effecting the FIRST world has nothing on us… Ghana/Africa is simply recession proof -and the Chinese, the Lebanese, the Indians, the Italians et al all know this!!!

Anyway I have found many companies, individuals and resorts to report back to you (one day hehe -its taking soooo long and I’m sort of tired) but I’m very excited about the numerous wedding planning/events organisers that cater to Ghana’s burgeoning middleclass’ needs and wants.. They’re not messing about -but, -if you decide to get into this industry, and only plan on using real flowers, natural fibres, real bamboo banqueting chairs, crisp white vintage linen to cover tables, lead crystal glasses, exclusive designer silver/gold/plated cutlery, designer crockery and so forth and so forth, -there’s still room for your services. Because while these Ghana based wedding planners are heading in the right direction, -I don’t think they push the luxury factor or yummy details -far enough…

I will in due time share all my findings with you -especially the wedding planners, but in the meantime, I just couldn’t wait to share Debra-Jane Abla Nelson’s ‘Mahogany Events by Debra-Jane’ with you… I think that -of all the wedding planners /events organisers I’ve come across, -hers comes the closest to my vision, -and as you all know, -it takes a lot to [truly] please me.. -as I’m a details person….

I’ve noted throughout my yet-to-be-completed Chic Weddings in Ghana Report, -that its sooo important if you decide to go with a wedding planner, -to check out their portfolio, to check out all the various vendors on their books, for example; are they the best, can they deliver on time, who has used their services etc etc?

You must also work very closely with wedding planners. You must work with them to source the freshest [real] flowers, fresh fish (the catch-of-the-day and nothing less), fresh fruits etc etc -for your day… And if you decide to book Mahogany Events by Debra-Jane you must do the same, as I have not personally used their services…

Anyway, I also wanted to share ‘Mahogany Events by Debra-Jane’ because of their USP. Their celebrated niche is that they also have a ‘Grooms Lounge’ -something that the rest don’t have.. Mahogany Events by Debra-Jane also offer numerous services under their following businesses including:

The Grooms Lounge

Many people think of the wedding as the bride’s day. She does the planning, picks the details, gets pampered and it is all about her. That is far from the truth. It is the groom’s “big day” as well, so here we say “Not another bridal service”.

This is where we look at the wedding experience from the groom’s side of the aisle.

We offer a personalized service assisting and grooming the groom and his groomsmen. We take care of all the treasured details:

• Planning and executing an intimate or grand proposal
• Choosing and/or sourcing the perfect engagement ring and wedding bands
• Creating a checklist and/or planning the wedding
• Attendance to suits, shirts, shoes, accessories and all details to ensure the groom looks sharp
• Assisting with speeches, etiquettes and protocol
• Offering pure indulgence
- Light Facial, Manicure, Pedicure, Trim and Tidy
- Neck, Back and Shoulder Massage or Full Body Massage
• Planning and executing the bachelor party
• Helping to select and obtain the right honeymoon package
• Planning and executing wedding anniversary celebrations, either intimate or majestic

“Not another bridal service”. The Grooms Lounge

Think | Mahogany also has a blog that features engaging articles covering events, the clients, the vendors, the process, the thrills, the challenges, the restlessness, the ideas, the contributions, the outcomes, arts, creativity, photography…and the rest! The blog aims to keep clients and the general public, our potential clients, informed with current content, and showcase our products.

The concept of naming this company after a tree (Mahogany) was inspired by the Bible verse Psalm 1 verse 3, “They are like trees that grow beside a stream, that bear fruit at the right time, and whose leaves do not dry up. They succeed in everything they do.” (Good News Translation)
