Nigerian weddings in Chicago are some of the highest-energy celebrations we film: vibrant introductions, family that fills every corner of the room, and dance floors that run through multiple sets before the night is over. We’ve been honored to capture these celebrations with the care and anticipation they deserve.

A Nigerian Wedding Film

Watch Feyi & Ayo’s celebration: an 11-hour day from vows to a high-energy reception at Preston Bradley Hall in the Chicago Cultural Center.

Filming Nigerian Wedding Traditions

Nigerian receptions carry moments a filmmaker needs to see coming: a high-energy bridal party introduction set to a mix of Afrobeats and Naija hits, multiple distinct dance sets that shift the room’s energy throughout the night, and surprise performances, like Feyi and her father’s secret dance set that broke into “Uptown Funk,” that bring every generation to the floor. We film these moments with the anticipation that comes from knowing the celebration’s rhythm.

Nigerian Weddings We Have Filmed

Feyi & Ayo’s wedding paired a ceremony at St. James with a reception at Preston Bradley Hall in the Chicago Cultural Center, complete with three distinct dance sets moving from Shoki and Naija hits to band classics and Top 40/hip hop. The film on this page shows how the celebration flows from vows to the final dessert buffet.
