The design-led event planners behind Duo Luxe Events
Duo Luxe Events was founded by two friends with a shared love of celebration and an eye for detail. Design-led events are our passion and our strong suit. With more than a decade of combined experience, a global perspective shaped by our Nigerian roots and years abroad, and careers managing complex programs at Fortune Global 500 companies, we bring creative vision, precision and warmth to every event.
Joy is part of the design. We believe the best events are as warm and lively as they are beautiful, and we handle the details so you can be fully present.

What’s your favorite type of event to plan, and why?
I love planning intimate dinner parties, putting the focus on the food and how the guests feel at the end of the day, perfect drink pairing that spurs conversations, and an engaging and welcoming space for all personalities.
What’s your approach to balancing creativity with practicality when planning an event?
It’s all about the client. Who are they? What do they love? How do they want to feel? We start there and then talk about the budget to help them get to that feeling. Everyone is different and translating each person’s personal style into the event is of utmost importance.
Favorite wedding cuisine
Nothing says “this is my wedding” like a personalized menu. A menu that has dishes that get you excited, and drinks that tell your story. Food that takes into consideration your culture, your family and your guests. During my wedding back in 2019, while the venue required that we use their in-house catering team, we were able to negotiate the addition of a Nigerian dish which made the experience more personalized.

What is your favorite designer?
The list is very dynamic. It could be Cartier today or The Row tomorrow, but I recently watched The New Look and thoroughly appreciated the history lesson on the classics… like Dior.
