We planned a vibrant and colorful wedding filled with Nigerian and Haitian culture, love, and our family and friends. Grand Oaks Country Club was perfect, with a great location for guests who came from all over the world, a large ballroom, and beautiful grounds. We worked with Margaret Addivinola, the director of catering. She made herself available when we needed her, communicated everything to us very clearly, and worked with us to choose the best package for what we wanted. Grand Oaks was very accommodating, even through rescheduling due to the pandemic.
Our ceremony was supposed to be outside. When rain changed our plans, we were impressed by the efficiency with which Grand Oak’s staff relocated our ceremony inside. It was amazing! Our day, in the end, was beautiful and we felt like it was exactly as it was meant to be. We had a talented violinist play music to add a classical touch and a saxophonist who played afrobeat and Haitian music.
