A Nigerian woman based abroad has sparked a social media frenzy after sharing the jaw-dropping cost of planning her dream wedding in Lagos.

As weddings in Nigeria continue to reach sky-high budgets, many couples are rethinking how much they are willing to spend on their big day.

Identified as Precious, the bride-to-be, who is engaged to her foreign fiancé, Paul, took to TikTok to express her disbelief over the staggering quote she received from an event planner.

According to a WhatsApp conversation she shared, the planner informed her that the design and styling for her big day would cost a minimum of ₦200 million—and that the couple must provide their own venue.

What Does ₦200 Million Cover?

Curious about the breakdown of the costs, Precious asked what exactly the ₦200 million charge covered. The event planner explained that it included:

• Stage set design
• Hall drapery
• Walkway and dance floor styling
• Picture area design and styling
• Luxury chairs and tables
• Other premium decor features

Despite the lavish offerings, Precious was taken aback by the price and humorously commented, “At this point, we may have to elope.” Watch their chat in the video below.
