RED DIAMOND EVENTS

Red Diamond Events is an innovative, invigorating and refreshing Event Design Company based in Abuja, Nigeria. They make events such as weddings, corporate events or private functions Fabulous and Magical. They believe sensational decor can be drawn from the simpliest of things.

Red Diamond Events believe that events should be as unique and as amazing as their clients are, cause they are always ready to bring ideas, dreams and imaginations into a fabulous reality.

. When was your company founded?

I founded and launched Red Diamond Events in 2010. Our aim was to bring something fresh and exciting to the event design industry in Nigeria. We think a bride should be able to dream big rather than just settling for the ordinary. Too often, there’s a perception of “Oh, that couldn’t possibly be done”. We wanted help change that by saying no to mundane and dreary decor and injecting some Fabulosity instead!

. What’s your background and career path prior to your own business?

I’m actually a trained Lawyer. I ventured into event design on the back of comments I kept receiving at the socials my husband and I usually hold. People kept asking: ‘Who did the decor? It’s really beautiful’.Read More
