Exploring the Real Africa

The magic of this African love story is unmatched for us! Many of our clients contact us to bring different cultures and ages together in a way that music becomes a focal point. And this wedding was a challenge that we were able to take on. Starting off musically in Kigali, Rwanda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and finally the US. We used songs like 'Girls Like You' by Maroon 5, which also happens to be a traditional South African folk song melody, and a children's choir from Zambia sang Beyonce's "Halo".

See what the behind the scenes of how we brought it all together below.
